Three Star Reviews

1 - Kasperi Braulin

Our first star of the game was the Whalers Goalie Kasperi Braulin.  During his post game interview he had the following comments:

“I was feeling really good on the ice tonight.   I felt good in the crease and managed to keep the rebounds to a minimum.  Between the defense putting up big blocks and the early PK, we knew tonight things were going to go our way.   It’s a team effort and we all pulled together to get the W.”

2 - Mikas Bieksa

Mikas came to play tonight and landed 3 primary assists to 3 different lines which doubled his season’s assists as a first pairing d-man.  He also added 2 blocked shots and was pivotal to stopping Anaheim’s sole Power Play of the night.

3 - Bobby Bobcalf

With 19:31 of ice time tonight, Bobby Bobcalf really shined during the Power Play.  Coming off of Jukka Jokinen’s hooking minor Bobby was able to open up the scoring for his 4th goal of the season.   His next point came in exactly 13 minutes later with the secondary assist on the second Power Play of the game to make it a 3-0 lead for Vancouver.  So far this season Bobby has pulled in nearly half of his points on the PP and the Whalers are quick to put him on the ice to bring in those all-important special teams goals.
