GDT: Training Camp Discussion

[ACC1224]

Looks like the main camp starts Sept 22 with the development camp starting tomorrow.

HORNBY: Leafs rookies, vets back on the ice | Toronto Sun

A little more than three months after their season met a sudden, inglorious end by blowing a 3-1 opening-round series lead to the Montreal Canadiens, many Leafs have been holding summer workouts, while 39 rookies gather Thursday at the Ford Performance Centre for a five-day training camp, most going on to the five-team NHL Prospect Tournament in Traverse City, Mich., Sept. 16-20. Two days later, the main Leafs camp will begin at the Ford Performance Centre. That leads the club into the first of six exhibition games, all in Canada due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, all against Montreal and Ottawa. Those matches begin Sept. 25 until Oct. 9, with the season opener at home against the Habs on Oct. 13.

Isn't that kind of a short camp? Is there no preseason this year?

Team is scrimmaging right now .. go to Ford .. you could probably see da lines if you wanted too .. but no point as Matty is not in town yet .. this will be 1st year in many I am not going to games .. reselling my tickets for games i get to a buddy .. taking a 1 year sabbatical .. but coach run camp will be very short before ex games start due to COVID .. COVID season to be rationed tickets for those fully vaccinated .. they are running some kinda of math formula to figure out ticket allotments but that is subject to change based on Ont govt crowd sizes

This is the year baby!

You already got it sire! This is OURS FOR LIFE MILORD!!

Interesthang to see whom of them thug lords will take the spot in our first, killer line? BUNTING or RITCHIE. The war is on there. These two are our realest, talent souljas. Simmonds got game too, but these two belong and stay in the game better. Bunting is also a bit of a pest, a real ratty type of a sucka, so he might take the first spot. Then Ritchie would hit a sucka head on that tavvy - nylander line. And defend them souljas hard, for life. We got our twerk now sire. The thugs, pests, gangstas and some O'G's. That's the way we roll and still defend JACK as our Queen! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

Every year training camp, regular season and playoffs in one gif.

They won’t have crowds again the way delta variant is blowing by double vaccinated and nailing them again. I don’t think it goes off anyway. The very most cautious of our friend group who is double vaccinated and has parents in their 90’s just called us and let us know she is infected with the Delta. I recall same thing happened to you after being super cautious. How are you feeling now anyways? I’m staying out of crowds also.

Hahahaha hell ya. Fan-mnesia has set in, I've forgotten our heartbreaking 3-1 series collapse against our shitty arch rivals and I'm ready to beleaf again.

This is the year babayyyy

Yes they will. WHO said today we need to learn to live with it here to stay. Leafs won't watch the states teams rack it in for long.

Well I’m staying out of crowds personally because it only looks like it’s getting stronger How do vaccinated people spread Delta? What the science says

Few others have forgotten that series.

That is your choice for sure, and good on you for being responsible (seriously). But many are fine with the risk, and money is money. Besides, I think you are ignoring it still provides great protection if you get it but most importantly..

Data from Public Health Ontario showed breakthrough cases accounted for less than one per cent of all COVID-19 infections in the province from Dec.14, 2020 to Aug. 7, 2021.

What do we know about breakthrough COVID-19 cases? Experts break down the science

Yeah I got it really bad on breathing side for 3 days and nights of utter h*ll .. on a rented breathing machine for 2 days at home .. thank god it went away almost as fast as I got it .. for me no long term COVID issues either .. but memory of it still scares me as I did not like feeling of my chest compressing it was like someone was standing on top of my chest .. no crowd events for me this year to be safe .. i have not even gone to a restaurant yet either .. looks like we will be into 2022 before this plague goes away

Looking forward to see Gogolev and Abramov

I think Abramov has a good chance of playing some games with the Leafs this year

What I don't understand about normie logic is that the coof is being spread regardless of jab status so why are they confidently congregating in large crowds? The July data is in from Israel, one of the most jabbed nations, showing the rate of infections per capita are essentially equal amongst the jabbed and unjabbed.

My hope is that these virologists/medical experts are right that da jabs help keep you out of hospital and ICU against Delta .. if not then this whole effort was a giant waste of time and $$$ .. to me it means very little if I test positive or not if I am not sick again

I see a lot of people bring up Israel’s data, but there could be who knows how many reasons for what is seen there. The main takeaway should be that their data doesn’t jive with almost anywhere else’s

As of September 7th., Isreal is only 61% fully vaccinated. Israel COVID-19 surge shows rest of world what’s coming

That said, unvaccinated people account for more than 10 times as many serious cases as those who have received two doses, showing that even with immunity waning, shots are providing protection.

Canada is about 76% fully vaccinated.

Anyway, to get back on topic HINT HINT let's hope some players earn looks.

Great man, glad you got by that good.

Yeah that’s what research is showing.

McKenna is one player i will be watching closely. The guy’s a player and probably going to be a surprise for many. Robertson as much as i hope makes the team might be held back by being waiver exempt. Not going to pretend i like that much but it stretches out our cheap scoring depth another year.
Abramov isn’t a skinny bag of bones anymore and i think he is one of out top 5 prospects. Expecting him to show why here.

It would be nice if a prospect showed something that makes you think.

I didn't see enough Robertson, the little I did see made me think he was overwhelmed.
