GDT: 2024 Rookie Tournament

[GCK]

"Hard to play against" to these guys means physicality and intensity, overall effectiveness be damned.

If you asked these guys they'd honestly tell you a D like Erik Gudbranson is harder to play against than Dylan DeMelo, even though the latter is far more effective at defending and if you asked who NHL forwards would prefer to be matched up against, it'd undoubtedly be the former.

Dinosaurs.

Hard to play against is forwards who track back well and D that don’t give you the middle of the ice. It’s being big, fast and committed.

I was hoping for Mike Peca Buffalo Sabres from Boucher. Was that realistic, still a possibility?

no chance

If it was an isolated incident where all these injuries were happening in the Sens care, I “may” buy that

It has been happening:
- Before he was drafted with the NTDP
- In the NCAA with BU
- In the OHL with Ottawa
- In the World Juniors with Team USA
- In the AHL with Belleville

Regardless of who he has been playing with, the lack of development or training staff in Ottawa had nothing to do with him getting injured.

It remains to be seen if the needed improvements in those areas are going to help, but I’d have very serious doubts.

I think the bigger point was that he’s changed his training to focus more on Pilates and such. Chych made a similar change last year to train more to help prevent injuries and such, Chabby this off season as well.

It seems like we have a high quality staff now that can help these guys train properly to avoid injuries by building range of motion etc…

It has worked for others, hopefully it works for him too. He wouldn’t be the first kid to overcome injuries to have a career, and he wouldn’t be the first to have injuries kill his career before it starts.

Boucher or Halliday? I only went to 25:30-30 or so, but only talked about Halliday

My mistake 16:10 when Wally talks about the hit he had on a kid behind the net when he was playing for the 67s.

Are these games available anywhere to watch?

How about shoulders?

This team seems to have one hell of a lot of shoulder injuries over the past decade or so.

Maybe it's a fluke....maybe it's something the guys are (or aren't) doing in their training routines.

Yes. The Senators website is supposed to be streaming them all.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Anyone know if the game will be available for replay later in the day, or it’s live or nothing.

Cheering for all these guys especially Ty Boucher, but there’s something about a Donovan with a huge smile walking around the arenas in this city that just feels like hockey now

I like the transition in facial expressions going form left to right.

You missed physical.

Eliasso getting burned and then immediately starting a scrum. I think it was him.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

That guy had Boucher wide open and dumped it in on the break in

 

[senswon]

Anybody got jersey numbers,?

 

[Senscore]

Donovan (?) to the box for interference

 

[NyQuil]

Well anyway.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Get puck out. Get puck deep. Cycle
