[Mr Serious]

You know how much I wish I could request those same days

Southwest Airlines

Problem?

Training camp details and roster announced.

Couple interesting names on there.

Lee Moffie who I talked about a couple weeks ago when Edmonton didn't sign him. He was awesome 2 years ago at Michigan, but last year lost his spot to Trouba.

Dillon Donnelly our former pick is coming in on a try out, I'm assuming to try to get an AHL contract.

Gabriel Desjardins played with Quebec and Rouyn the past couple seasons. Score 74 points in 66 games last year.

Michael Schumacher the former LA pick in 2011. Huge winger that has never put it all together.

Dillon Donnelly got an amateur tryout. I guess he's got to earn an AHL deal.

7 goaltenders kind of messes with the scrimmages.

Never heard of Michael Schumacher. He's a huge Swede. Not even 20 years old.

It's getting close.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Wow, lots of intriguing options for Lake Erie.

Looks like there will be a lot more Avs prospects playing with the Cutthroats this year than last year.

 

[Mr Serious]

I will be there Friday and Saturday

Schumacher will be quite noticeable in camp. He is very tall and is not at all afraid to go into the dirty areas of the ice. From all accounts I have read and heard he is a hard worker. Needs to fill out his frame. Very inconsistent.

And he has one of the most recognizable names in Europe.

It would be hard having the same name as one of the best drivers ever. Everybody would be so disappointed when they realize the reservations are not for THE Michael Schumacher.

 

[Avs_19]

We have someone named Michael Schumacher in camp? Awesome.

Looks like the Kings gave up on him pretty quickly but has had some decent seasons in the OHL.

 

[henchman21]

IMO out of all the AHL contract/Invitee players Moffie has the best chance of earning a NHL contract in the future. Here is a blog with some videos and some scouts words on him (old from 2011)

Well thank you, i was waiting for that.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Can the season start already.

Can the season start already.

Imagine how long the last week or so is going to take.

As if we weren't a fast team before with Duchene and MacKinnon, now we might have Michael Schumacher?

Haha

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Nevermind... couple posts up.

Weird seeing Donnelly with a tryout.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Dammit I can only make it Saturday *cries*

 

[Chileiceman]

I knew Michael Schumacher was a good soccer player, didn't know about his hockey talents.

 

[Foppa2118]

BTW, "Schumy's" on an AHL contract, so we won't see him on the Avs, unless he impresses in camp and gets a two way deal.

 

[Avs]

LOL @ the cuts. I have thoroughly enjoyed both edits.

 

[Cypher]

Need more RW on the team/in the system. Only have Parenteau and Downie on that side.

 

[the_fan]

Some teams televise few preseason games. Detroit has 3 preseason games televised, why can't every team do this?

It will be good for the game, the fans will be happy and get to see the youngsters fighting for roster spots etc... and it will make September go little faster before the regular season starts

I think Tanguay is gonna play RW

Almost all Canadian team games are televised I'm pretty sure. I don't believe Colorado has ever televised a single preseason game.
