GDT: Training Camp 2021: Everyone Else Too Lazy to Make a Thread

[GAGLine]

Reminder that the town hall starts in 8 minutes.

Just caught up and saw Mika had covid. People need to give him a very long leash this season bc it could significantly be affecting him for the actual entire season. All the chief symptoms might be gone in 2 months but it will likely negatively impact his ability to even get back to the right shape and put him a step behind for a very long time. His immune system organs and body have been through a war.

Im sure they will be cautious but odds are he will be fine. He's young and fit. I know several young people in their 20's and 30's including my daughter who tested positive and they all had only mild symptoms and were fine with no lasting issues.

Or the 100s of other pro athletes around the world who got it

Odds are that he's fine since he's back skating and ready to play but it affects people in different ways...young and fit people seem to be pretty safe but some people have had it hit them super hard and had complications even if they were young and healthy

So, still hope no one's career ends up ruined because of this

I know Giannone gets a bad wrap from some fans but I thought he did an outstanding job on the town hall tonight.

 

[Irishguy42]

Pretty sure the townhall was pre-recorded and previously played on the 12th for another event.

Was going to make an “independent” post on this subject but this is a pretty good lead in:

I think pretty much everyone on the team has something to proof and / or carry a big chip on their shoulder after last season. The way they entered the bubble and in a blink of an eye exited surely left a lot of bad taste even for those who had a pretty good regular season.

This made me smirk, given the argument some of us just had about this very subject.

So which poster is Kreider?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Can we hope for a McDonagh-like rookie season for K'Andre? I know McDonagh played in the AHL though.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

so like why have we not heard anything about Kakko this TC?

Yea, Id be cautious and wouldn’t just laugh it off but I wouldn’t lose my mind either.

These guys are young professional athletes. Of course, there’s always that unknown risk, but I’m unaware of any professional athletes in the USA who’ve gotten it and had life or career altering effects.

He must’ve died

What do you mean? In each of the live streamed scrimmages they had a well produced segment featuring each young player trying to make the team and their added responsibilities. How they trained in the off-season, interviews and such. It was really entertaining/informative.

What have you been watching this training camp?

Backup goalie for the Wild.

Prime Hedman or bust

beat writers Vince and Carp have mentioned him and talked about how he has looked good. Carp says he thinks he looks bigger and that Kakko says he's faster this year and worked on his skating/speed.

Gorton also mentioned him in the Town hall video when they were each asked to name a player that stood out at camp.

He was mentioned a few times - all positive. But I think the attention has gone to Lafreniere, Shesterkin and Miller.

I want to say he and Laf had a little friendly completion earlier in the camp.

 

[NYR94]

Wow, it's a nice training camp. -KK

Sounded like he and Shesterkin were getting after it a bit as well.

Seems Lafreniere doesn’t do friendly.

 

[mas0764]

Didn’t Kakko score two goals in the scrimmage as well?
