Training Camp 2023

[SolidSnakeUS]

torts is coaching tonight, i heard he's already thought of a few awful things to say about Frost. thats called preparedness.

But is he really coaching?

i dunno tbh he's given a lot of the work to rocky and its starting to pay off in the last couple games, so if we look like absolute shit tonight thats probably torts. if we're running plays from down low into the slot for the bump, stuff that resembles real hockey plays, thats probably rocky.

Has any other NHL head coach taken off multiple preseason games in 2023?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Since there's no GDT yet:

Farabee - Couturier - Konecny
Tippett - Frost - Atkinson
Laughton - Cates - Foerster
Allison - Poehling - Brink

York - Ristolainen
Zamula - Sanheim
Ginning - Attard

Allison getting another shot at LW.
1st two lines is what I expect to start the season, only question is Tippett or Atkinson at LW.
Third line is Foerster or Brink, and I expect they'll rotate between the 3rd and 4th line.

The first four D-men are probably going to be the top four in some order.
Ginning - Attard getting a long look, Seeler/Staal/Walker are known quantities.

There are four players missing from both the 10 AM game group and the 10 AM non-game group: Samu Tuomaala, Olle Lycksell, Brendan Furry and Matt Brown.
Probably going to LHV which has a preseason game tomorrow.

lol @Hollywood Cannon do you want to tell him

Hell, he took off the last, what, 8 games of the regular season and then it took till game 5, the last pre-season game for the Flyers, to actually be behind the bench? So at least 13 straight games of refusing to be behind the bench?

 

[VladDrag]

For good reason. I block stalkers.

Your reasons are your reasons, I'm just letting you know!

So I've learned.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

There is a GDT. You have Beef blocked.

Lmao. Thhhhhat makes sense haha.

Edit. At first I thought this was directed at me but reading down further it looks like it was directed at somebody else on my blocked list haha.

Tuomaala can’t crack a Liiga roster but is on an NHL roster bubble lol.

The fact he's still here and Lycksell isn't is a head scratcher to me...

One was drafted by Ron Hextall. The other was not.

They aggressively thought he was AHL ready 2 years ago because he skated fast sometimes. At least they learned from their mistakes.

Now we get a 7th rounder playing in the AHL in his D+2!

They have watched Lycksell for over a year, they're just getting a look at Tuomaala.
Tuomaala has zero chance of making the roster.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m not a huge Attard guy nor was I really when his stock was perceived as higher than it is now. But for a team that’s supposedly rebuilding he’s kind of perfect candidate to put to the sink or swim test. The guy is literally in the middle of his athletic prime at 24. Either you think he’s a prospect or not at this point.

 

[deadhead]

They're giving Attard a full shot this spring, but he has to show he isn't brain dead.

Speaking of brain dead, Myers just got waived.

Attard will never play without several injuries occurring. We go through this every year. We just went through this last year.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Team Tuomaala and proud

 

[wasup]

Your reasons are your reasons, I'm just letting you know!

Maybe I should just block Dead that way his non stop post of crap would not show up on my screen . But then I would not be entertained with you guys arguing with him non stop , maybe we should all block him then he can argue with himself , not that he doesn't already .

It's a thought guy .

has attard done anything to stand out in these games in any way?

 

[renberg]

Mobile. RHD. Big shot.
Needs to learn how to anticipate better. Improve stick work. There’s something there with him. Doubt that the Flyers will draw it out of him.

Can you remind me again who on this forum called him a "unicorn" once a day? And said he was the highest ceiling defender in the organization after his rookie year? Better than Sanheim for sure.

I also have this vague recollection of the current POHO drooling about Myers being a "star."

I don't think this suits your argument like you think it does!
