Here's my look from Friday's paper at the incredible success of the Kitchener Rangers and at four players to watch in the Memorial Cup, which got underway last night.

The Rangers held on yesterday to beat the QMJHL champion Gatineau Olympiques in overtime, 6-5, despite the fact they're still rolling with backup goaltender Josh Unice. The Spokane Chiefs and Belleville Bulls kick their tournament off later today.

For the draft junkies out there, here are the players in the tournament ranked by Central Scouting for the 2008 draft:

Rank	Categ.	Name		Pos.	Club
32	NA Skater	Shawn	Lalonde	Defense	Belleville
101	NA Skater	Stephen	Johnston	Left wing	Belleville
171	NA Skater	Steven	Delisle	Defense	Gatineau
197	NA Skater	Travis	Stacey	Left wing	Gatineau
11	NA Skater	Mikkel	Boedker	Left wing	Kitchener
9	NA Goalie	Dustin	Tokarski	Goaltender	Spokane
64	NA Skater	Mitch	Wahl	Center	Spokane
187	NA Skater	Mike	Reddington	Defense	Spokane
198	NA Skater	Jared	Spurgeon	Defense	Spokane

Boedker's the Danish kid pegged to go in the top 10 this year, and he looks pretty smooth. You wonder if he'll get passed over like Anze Kopitar early in the draft because of his birth country.
