2023 Training Camp

[DominicT]

I think you're giving us to much credit. If you didn't say anything, how many people would even realize that we still didn't have an asst coach or that Sweeney is no longer listed as the alternate governor?

How about this:

Don't totally trust the source, but heard John McLean will be the new eye in the sky assistant coach.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Just always made sense to me, for right-handed people to shoot left. You pick up the stick with your dominant hand on the butt end, the "anchoring end", just like you'd pick up a sword or a rifle or a hammer or any kind of oblong tool or implement of that sort.

Typical Canadian think.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Why isn’t Bussi or Keyser listed? Why aren’t any of our other goalie prospects listed? Not trying to be critical.
I assume Dyck is just staying with his team.

Dyck is hurt

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I wouldn't call it extremely rare. Just rare.

Just off the top of my head.

Phil Mickelson
Brian Harmon
Ben Hogan
Jordan Spieth
Henrik Stenson

Ben Hogan? Lefty?

 

[Beesfan]

Why has the team not posted a training camp schedule yet? We're getting pretty late in the day.

Heard the same from a trusted source

 

[BMC]

I'm ambidextrous. I write right (my teacher made me grrr), throw right, shoot right. I bat left and kick left. If I had been a hockey player I would have shot right. I can use my left hand in many situations & that came in very handy when I had my shoulder operation.

 

[Knight]

Dyck is hurt

The mind is willing but the flesh is spongy and weak

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Ben Hogan? Lefty?

He was left handed but played righty. The OP stated it is "extremely rare" that someone is right handed playing lefty or vise versa. Hogan was the vice versa.

My apologies.

Missed the vice versa part.

 

[PB37]

I know I've spoke of this before but I'd love to see one day a player who shoots RH/LH based on the situation. If I was fringe prospect, I think I'd like to think I'd practice that - any edge I could get to make it to the pros, I'd be all over.

 

[PlayMakers]

Decent roster all things considered

How would you line them up?

Harrison Merkulov Lysell
Topo Poitras Farinacci
Kuntar Beecher ???

Lohrei Mast
Callahan Brunet
Edward Ritchie

 

[DaStinger]

I'm right handed. Hockey left, golf left, bat left. Putt right.

I like new blood but MacLean doesn’t seem to have a great record or a history of working with good teams, at least, in this millenia. Hopefully he’s better than his record.

 

[PB37]

His first stint with the Devils went well but outside of that, his track record is not great as a coach or assistant.

I do like that he's got Stanley Cup pedigree as both player and a coach. I'm not sure why he was more appealing than others but these sorts of hires I don't think we'll ever get the inside scoop of how/why.

Like Gordie Howe or Chris Chelios?

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

A full on lefty.

Do nothing right.

Had a kid in the neighborhood who hit right and threw left. Thought that was really odd.

My father used to say the same about me.......

Dyck is hurt

Has it been longer than 4 hours??

 

[DominicT]

I believe its John McLean, the current skills and development coach of the Boston Bruins.

McLean not the former NJ Devils

Different McLean

I do. Many of my hockey friends do.

Oh… That makes a lot more sense.

We went to the same place on this one.

Looks good to me,maybe elevate Toporowski

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

My daughter:

Writes, eats, bats, golf’s left handed.

Throws, kicks, shoots and dribbles right handed.

Probably the only left handed writer I know who couldn’t dribble lefty.

A full on lefty.

Do nothing right.

I think we can take that "extremely rare" point and flush it down the toilet now.

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

I think we can take that "extremely rare" point and flush it down the toilet now.

5 to 7% of golfers play golf lefthanded. Of those, how many do you think are considered "right handed" in everything else? And 5-7% is way higher compared to the percentage of professional golfers are lefthanded versus play once in a charity scramble every year.
