Predators Hockey Discussion 22-23

anyone have a box score ?

Nurmi sorta came out of nowhere. It was kind of a situation like “Oh, he played with Parssinen; let’s give him a trial”. I’m impressed thus far.

He was drafted by Ottawa. Wonder if their rights just ran out. Either way he put up pretty good numbers with Parssinen and hes supposedto be pretty good defensively. hes got a pretty big frame as well

I'm just impressed that the rookies scored 2 goals with the goalie pulled, even after giving up an eng.

We all know how that usually worked for the big club when we pulled the goalie.

3rd and final game of the Rookie Camp versus Florida starting in 15 mins.

 

[Jukurit]

Nurmi being good isn't surprising to anybody who watched him play in Liiga playoffs last season.

I think it's really hard to evaluate players in this camp who have pro experience in men's leagues against some of the less experienced guys. It's nice to see them play and do well, but at the same time until they get to the main camp it has to be taken with the appropriate grains of salt.... main camp opens in just 2 days though, so it's almost time!

Yeah, but everybody was a rookie once! First things first; job #1-look good in rookie camp. Now on to job #2.

 

[Scoresberg]

Slight delay on the start of the game. Puck drop in just a few moments.

I think it's just a weird feeling for Preds fans to get too hyped about forward prospects because of abysmal record the team has with developing forward talent in a consistent basis. A little PTSD in the fanbase.

Can someone post the link?

Afansyev.....again

 

[Scoresberg]

Afanasyev 1-0. Evangelista and Pärssinen with the assists. Afanasyev created the turnover in the defensive zone blue-line which led to a 3-1 attack.

Couldn't get the preds to work, but Panthers works fine

I love Parssinen's stick work. Very smart stick defensively.

 

[Scoresberg]

Preds on the PP, with 5 mins left in the 1st.

I've really liked Wilsby & Statsney in this tournament. Nurmi, Pärssinen and Afanasyev have been good offensively. L'Heureux has been noticeable as well.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I think Evangelista has a ways to go still. He doesn't have that NHL style game yet from my eyes.

Nope, Preds on the PK. Askarov was going to the bench but we got the penalty.

 

[triggrman]

Parssinen is solid for sure

 

[Soundgarden]

I love Parssinen's stick work. Very smart stick defensively.

Yeah, he's showing great hustle too. Just made an excellent pass.

L'Heureux is a better play maker than I realized. I think this is the first showcase he's really caught my attention. To me, the previous attention felt forced because he was an early pick in previous camps.

[triggrman]

Askarov is legit.

I like Afanasyev too. 79 that was on that line looked good too, looks huge btw.

Statsney looked solid

51 looks good on defense too.

Don’t have a roster in for t of me sorry.

Did not notice L’Heureux

 

[Flgatorguy87]

Afanasyev crashing the net. He's scored in a variety of ways, been good in his own zone, and really skated well on the forecheck. Interested to see him in big boy camp next week. We got a preseason double header in 1 week, so hopefully he can keep the momentum.

I have noticed Nurmi is a really good forechecker as well.
