2019 Training Camp Thread - Pride and Passion

[Chrispy]

Most blokes will be playing at 10.

Rod: "Why don't we work them out so hard that 10 is faster?

THEN crank them up to 11?"

 

[Lempo]

Our speed goes all the way up to Jordan Staal speed.....



....wait a minute.

So it’s the day before the first preseason game, I wonder when we’re going to see an announcement made on new captain(s). Perhaps they’re waiting a little bit just to see what happens with Faulk.

It’s the 21rst century, we may as well make them all captains.

This was an interesting comment by Rod. Maybe it's just coach speak for this point in camp, but interesting none the less.

Asked Monday if he liked what he has seen out of Necas in the first four days of training camp, Brind’Amour said, “No.”

Brind’Amour didn’t elaborate and then said more good things than bad about Necas, the 12th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.

“He looks like he’s more mature,” Brind’Amour said Monday during his camp press conference. “He’s certainly more mature than he was last year on the ice. And off the ice he’s physically more mature. But again, we’ll see how it all comes together when he starts playing for real.”

The article also says he's up to 195 lbs.

Wonder what kind of an asset we could get back from a Faulk-Necas offer

because I'm starting to get the feeling that if a person is going to be added, its going to be him.

I'm not reading THAT much into it.

I love it

It's Rod. Did/Would he answer "Yes" to the same question about anybody in camp?

That's what I meant when I said it much just be coach speak at this point in camp.

Rod was quoted as saying:

“He needs to work on his motherf***ing gains, as swole is the goal”

 

[Roboturner913]

I'm not reading THAT much into it.

Me neither, it reads more like a little bit of rookie hazing than anything else

Necas-Faulk

[Anton Dubinchuk]

For those who didn’t watch the video, the specific wording of the question was “have you seen what you wanted to see out of Necas?” And Rod said “in these four days? No.”

This directly after answering two or three questions in a row with “this is just practice, I’m not really looking too closely yet at individuals, we’ll see how they play in games.”

So, the article makes it a bit unclear but it wasn’t sinister at all.

I'm not really sure what the heck you would see that would impress you or that you would like in practice. Like he said, games are where it's at, and even then, preseason will only tell so much. He also mentioned on a few occasions this offseason that he expected Necas to take the step to be on the team this year, so I doubt a few days changed his thinking. Just no reason to pump his tires from practice.

Thanks for the clarification on that. Like I said, probably just coach speak.

On Saturday, I saw Necas get beat pretty obviously and it led to a break away. The reason he got beat, in my opinion was that he was aggressive with the guy on the puck and, seemingly, missed his broader positional responsibility. Still, it was Saturday, so that stuff was to be expected.

Necas will be waiting tables at waffle house eventually. That's basically what Rod was saying.
