Has anyone seen whether the games will be streamed?

I think I saw the Ducks tweet something about streaming the games, but that they'll only be available in markets of the participating teams.

Here's the confirmation from the Ducks.
Anaheim Rookie Faceoff Presented by McDonald's Begins this Saturday
Every game of the 2019 Anaheim Rookie Faceoff presented by McDonald's will be streamed live on each participating team's website and screen in the NHL mobile app. (Live game streams will only be available in each participating team's broadcast market.)

And here's the Kings' schedule of games.

So his nickname is going to be Emo right? Cause the normal nickname trend doesn't really work for him.
 
Dragged my heels on getting tickets and the Ducks/Kings scrimmage sold out earlier this week. Ended up getting tickets for the Avs/Knights 1pm game and might stick around for a little bit of the Coyotes/Sharks since I'm already there.

Hmmm. I'm just going to call him Sammy. Or Sam I am.

Wait til he scores his first goal and the announcer drags his name out like they always do over the PA.
 
Is Dudas related to the Toronto GM?

No, that's DuBas.


We know the league has pointed towards speed and skill. But this team seems to lack sandpaper gritty type players. What are your thoughts?

I think Blake knows it and that's why the emphasis on high-character at the draft. But I dunno, I think most of these guys are tenacious, and they'll be led by Turcotte and Bjornfot it seems. JAD is gritty like Williams. If Vilardi ever returns, he absorbs contact maybe even better than Kopitar. So they might not be traditionally rough-and-tumble, but as far as a hard-charging forechecking league goes, I think our youth are well-equipped to play any game.

This rookie camp group as a whole is a bit undersized though, your point is taken.
 
I'm one of the first guys on here that doesn't want the Kings to ice a bunch of soft ass p***yes, but we all have to remember that future squads will not be comprised solely of prospects currently in the system. There will be sandpaper guys as future UDFA signings and/or trades, if necessary.

Also, Clifford will be on the Kings for another five seasons.

Dayem sold out was thinking about going tomorrow. Figures it would be sold out. But man hope we at least get some highlights somewhere. Hopefully some of us can go and give us updates
 
Saw a couple listings on StubHub, but the sellers were asking for ridiculous prices. At best, maybe somebody will have an extra tomorrow or they'll sell more at the door if I have a sad enough face.
