Well, which team will show up tonight? The one that played a physical/intense style last night against Vancouver or the one that let's down after big games?

Also, will KC give the young goalie (gagnon) a start? Or is Irving going to see all three games this weekend? It certainly wouldn't surprise me to see KC let the youngster into this game.

I would be shocked to see Gagnon between the pipes tonight for Everett.

T-C is a good team this year, and Everett will want/need the points, I cant see KC putting a rookie netminder in the pipes. maybe if they were playing Portland or Chilliwack etc, but not against TC.

surprised...yes
Shocked? No.

Remember, this is KC we are talking about.

When Irving was 15 years old, he made his WHL debut during a blowout, where he played the final 5-10 minutes.

If tonight's game is a blow-out (which is doubtful), I could picture Gagnon playing the final 5-10 minutes.

I guess my answer to which team will show up was answered

This was a different Tips team than the one that played Friday night against Vancouver. This game was NOTHING on the intensity level compared to that game Friday. This is a pattern for the Tips. They target a game or two that they get up for and play down a notch in the rest. This was one of those. No emotion, slow on the Ice and overall not very crisp.

Hopefully Hamill & Crowley will be back for tonight as well from this stupid Flu bug.

Same thing with the Vancouver/Kelowna game. But you cant expect that kind of intenisty night in and night out.

Hopefully the 2 teams can muster the energy for the rematch this afternoon, but 3 games in 3 nights in 3 cities is tough for both sides.
