Traverse City “Tournament”

[SirloinUB]

Sa couple things:

1) its a Red Wings game day!! It feels good to have some red wings hockey to follow. We are so back!

2) what the hell happened to this tournament. It use to be the cream of the crop for rookie tournaments and now it’s just Detroit and Dallas playing a couple of games. Why did everyone else abandon it?

will the red wings join another tournament (Buffalo?) in the coming years?

For you out of U.S. fans, you might look into getting a VPN to watch the game. Even if it's just a free trial so you can watch this weekends games. Google any VPN and see if you can get a free trial. Otherwise they are cheap to buy.

Go Wings!

Mostly cost from my understanding. Teams just didn’t see the benefit paying to send prospects all the way up there rather than staying close to home.

the tournament was cool and all but i'm certainly not gonna miss how seemingly every year there was a team or two that just brought goons to it and I mostly just felt stress over potential injuries

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

is there a lineup for it?

Is it really that much more costly than going to Buffalo for a tournament?

 

[Snuggs]

Weak sauce, Idk, should have at least invited the Flyers, Panthers and Islanders who I don't think are playing in any tournaments.

Buffalo must have a nicer set up.

I remember the area hosting teams from around the league, including the old Thrashers team from here prior to its relocation. I think what happened is some organizations adopted similar models as the Wings had with Traverse City, and now we just have a couple games with the Stars prospects instead of a bona fide tournament. I think there were only four teams last year.

Lombardi seemingly filling in for Becher

 

[ShanahanMan]

Boy I hope this 1st period isn’t indicative of our future or else we are f***ed.

Also where is this Danielson magic everyone is raving about? Complete non factor so far.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

He was kinda average last time, most of our prospects were. I remember Cossa getting lit up, just gotta remember these are mostly tune up games.

No YouTube stream? Just wondering if I could watch later .

I mean, on paper our team should be blowing Dallas out of the water. They have one of the lowest pools in league. It’s just disappointing.

Do they have more proffessional experience? They could have a bunch of low floor pros that could beat our high cieling kids.

Wings have been dominating the puck from what I've watched. I am a bit behind the stream though

Yeah I'm not sure if they have a lot of AHLers or something. Also don't really look at our roster and see a stacked lineup or anything.

On paper that Dallas defense is far better than Detroit's for this game.

Normally a "prospect" is a player that has played less than 41 NHL games. In Bradys case, he's too much of a man to play against boys.

 

[Filppula]

What a move by Finnie!

 

[opivy]

Finnie made that Dallas Defense look pretty meh.

He's playing college. The semester has already started.

 

[Filppula]

Nice goal by Rychlovsky.

Lombardi looks very quick and just made a shifty pass on the PP.

 

[Christien]

Out of all the try outs, Paquette has been standing out along with Kearsey IMO
