Rookie Tournament Thread (Sept 14th-20th, Buffalo, NY)

[schwang26]

No word on TV or streaming? If it's streamed, I hope it has play by play at least. It's hard enough following the play on a stream, let alone trying to identify rookies.
You'd think they'd televise it, with the first overall pick being in the lineup. It's only been over 40 years since they had one!

Last year was all streamed on Youtube but I don't remember if there was any commentary.. I don't think there was.

If you're going to be a loser, might as well aim to be one of, if not the biggest loser of all time. Go big or go home.

It sucks trying to identify players you aren't familiar with. Especially if the stream quality is bad.

There's no I in "team". And there isn't one in "loser", either.

Based on what the sabres site said it will be streamed but only for people in the Buffalo area. I guess it’s possible that the other teams bring their own broadcast crew

Only the Sabres games too. I'm sure the Habs will at least stream it.

Current height / weight for the rookie camp attendees

View attachment 583611

3 guys from Nova Scotia and a Newf - representing!

Whose the 6’7 pto John Parker jones?

And looks like Slaf is back to 6’4 again now since he measured 6’3 at the combine

We all know what role this Parker-Jones will be doing at this tournament. He is there for a reason.

Hardly. Many of us were on the predecessor site. So what does that make us?

Old losers?

But one of the best losers I know.

 

[Shabs]

How bad is mailloux's shoulder injury? When will he be back to playing games?

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Old losers?

The alternative is not attractive as most of my contemporaries are either dead or wish they were.

Million dollar question

Is it on some sports website similar to RDS and presented as a free streaming in that area? Because with a VPN, this would not be an issue I think.

Sounds good to me. I imagine in one of the games, they will rotate guys in and out to give the chance for everyone to show what they can offer.
