GDT: Game 1/2- Habs vs Leafs Prospects - Sept 14- 1pm EST RDS1 & YouTube

[Tyson]

Weird that so many young AHL vets like Roy, Dobes, Trudeau were exempt from this tournament but Emil Heineman wasn't.

 

[Sam I Am]

What's with Thorpe?

I believe the plan was to get some time to Miller since he's due to sign by June, but he got injured. Dobes is already slated to be Laval's starter, no need for useless games.

For Trudeau, we already have a bajillion Ds.

If not for the AHL guys, 3/4 of the forward squad would have to be invites.

Do I have to Google this or can you explain?

The Guangdong Tigers is the best team in the Chinese Basketball Association. It's basically the NBA's KHL.

 

[BergevinBurner]

Don't expect a blowout. We have better defense for sure, but the forwards are close and goaltending leans heavily in their favor.

 

[Treb]

On va en manger une tabarnac.

That would be extremely disappointing, given both rosters.

 

[JianYang]

Lmao Manscum.

That's an all time name.

What do you mean?

I'm more of a Shanghai Sharks guy, myself.

I think he has forgotten about the great Jim Thorpe. @ChesterNimitz probably saw him on those black and white 8mm reels in movie theatres.

With the majority of the players who will be playing today and tomorrow unlikely to be making the NHL, the only thing I will be watching with interest, is whether those most prime (and yes, hyped) of our prospects demonstrate they have taken the necessary developmental steps to be potential full-time, if not impactful, NHLers. At least to this writer, everything else is just entertainment. I would rather that these two games clearly show that we have the 6 or so best players/prospects on the ice: win, lose or draw.

Wouldn't everyone?

We have the hype here, and now the kids have to show something, to prove they are developing in the right direction.
I look for Heineman to be s clear step above and ahead of most of this crowd. My hope he steals a spot at the big camp and starts with the team in October.

It's a Cree Nation surname.

 

[BLONG7]

for those wondering about sizes and weights, they haven't updated anything https://media.d3.nhle.com/image/private/t_document/prd/kinrfeozqyuebjfbyixl.pdf

The big camp.............that's when we will find out the new updated info on height and weight.

I'm hoping he does well, I have a soft spot in my heart for this kid. Big, strong and put up some decent numbers last year.

I wanna see The Protz be a menace

Gotta get him out on the ice with the Bash Brothers.

I'm actually surprised at his listed size, tbh. When I've seen him in those training videos, he's looked fairly small.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Are they allowed to fight?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Are they allowed to fight?

Yes, there were 3 fights in the Buffalo showcase yesterday.

I am partial to the "Find Out" line.

After we drafted Engstrom, I randomly decided that he was the prospect I'm stanning after watching him toe drag some random dude into oblivion in his first development camp.

Really excited to see him on NA ice. There will be an adjustment period for him and Reinbacher but that duo is going to be a force. Both got good all around game with Adam being more offensive and David defensive. This is the last chance to buy your tickets for the Engstrom bandwagon before the train leaves the station.

if you check on my youtube channel for last summers development camp, he was one of our best players. I was more impressed with him then Reinbacher.

We have so many giants at this camp that he probably looks small next to them lol. Never seen him play live but from what I've seen online, his size looks legit. Gritty player with a really good shot.
