The beginning drill today had all
three goalies in action at once, two at one end and one at the other
. . . |
. . . |

Lindlof (white) and Cutta |

Mahoney talks to (from left) Cutta, Eminger (44), and TJ Mathieson |
|
There's no room behind the net, but
Ouellet still wants to know where the puck is! |
Cutta laughs as Witchy asks him to
sign one of his cards . . . |
. . . then gives a nice smile
for the camera |
Ouellet: "Alright
Daigneault, how 'bout I'm Max ver. 1, and you're Max ver. 1.2?" |

move to Kelowna (WHL) |
Notre Dame defenseman (and Maryland
native) TJ Mathieson; his coach at ND is former NHLer Dave Poulin |

Quite a flurry around Gherson--the
two guys in focus are Wellar (white) and Desautels (black) |

So here's part 1 of the Polcik
story mentioned above; here he is, innocently walking to Cutta's car
. . . |
. . .and Cutta proceeds to
pull the car away a bit; Polcik turns around and laughs, not
believing that Cutta is doing this to him, in front of an audience at
that . . . |
. . . more disbelief/laughter
as this walk/pull-away sequence happens 4 or 5 more times . . . |
. . . suddenly Cutta pulled
all the way out of the lot, and up onto the road as if he were
leaving Polcik behind; he made Polcik walk all the way across the
parking lot, up the hill, and across the road--but they did finally
let him in the car! LOL |
