Both? lol
I've only seen one with Wallstadt but it's not easy making out the names with the safety netting in the way

Hard to read much off of that, but Lambos definitely jumped out to me, he is really good, made some very creative and effective passes and his skating is extremely smooth. Haight knows how to snipe the corners, good showing for him. Really everyone had good moments and some great skill on display all around. Love to see that out of the prospects.

Yeah honestly couldn't stand to watch it.
This format shows absolutely nothing. It shows just as much as YT highlight videos. And as someone who played goalie, I HATTEEDD these during practices. You don't get to practice your skills in a game setting and using the rink cues to work on your positoning and timing. This camp was really not meant for the fans at all.

Yeah, I appreciate them streaming it and I don't think they should change the camp format just to accommodate an audience... but it probably would've been better to just set up static cameras and stream without commentary. Trying to turn it into a broadcast just made it more confusing.

I guess I should have worded that better - yeeh focus is still development and not for the fans. But even doing these scrimmages I don't see how they are better than doing a 5-on-5 on a full ice like a real game. If you wanted to make sure all the players had enough time, then just do a 5on5 for 2 periods then split into 3on3.
EDIT: I think its dumb and I hated them when I played.
It was for the prospects not the fans. It's a practice environment with the 3v3 scrimmage as the fun on-ice cookie at the end of it for bragging rights.
The thing with small ice 3v3 is everyone gets a lot of touches with the puck. Space is limited and things happen quicker. It does have benefits from an evaluation perspective. It gets players out of a system and showcases individual skills.
It stinks for goalies. My kid hated it as a goalie, but loved it as a skater.

Yeah, but this doesn't really do that either... if it's like previous years, they are not playing with full ice, they are playing multiple games at the same time with the goals being along the side boards

Huh. interesting. I personally loved small ice 3v3 as a goalie. Sure, I let in more goals (which is saying something because I once won a normal game 11-9), but I got to make a ton more saves. I'm not out there to post shutouts, I'm out there to punch rubber!
She described it as square up to the puck and hope. Everything about it was just wrong for her. No blue paint, harder to gauge distances, and a couple other things. Everything just felt wrong for her.
I guess it's like driving a British car. Driving is the same, except it's on the wrong side of the road from the passenger seat.

She has a strong point when she mentions the markings on the ice. There's no good way to gauge how far out of your net or off your angle you are without the faceoff circles and the blue paint, except educated guesswork. I'd forgotten about that, but it's very true.

That's exactly how I felt. I was never the most reactive goalie so I relied heavily on the markings. And while I did well when players have to get fancy (like on 3-on3s) because I had decent sense on how the place would turn out, I was pretty bad at simple straight on shots so I really wanted to practice this and you can't on three on three plays.
But I guess this is a whole lot of projecting lol

Bankier stood out to me. Taller than I really thought and seemed to always find the puck and know what to do with it. Healey also wasn’t too shabby for an offensive minded d.

How did Petrovsky look? It will likely be a short break than back in Slovakia for WJC camp so not much time off

He didn’t really stand out, either good or bad, but that could be because of the format they used.
At least he didn’t look out of place

Nuns everywhere are sharpening the edges of their rulers and feeling an inexplicable urge to head to Minnesota.
I have no idea how my dad stayed left handed after being in a Catholic school.

They've been doing the 3v3 tournament since Boldy's draft year... hated then, yet they keep doing it. It sucks.

By all means, do it for the players, but if you're bringing in fans, do full scrimmages like before. Save the 3v3 for themselves if they see value in it.
