Most interesting thing about this is that D-Petey is playing on his off-hand. Heard scattering of unreliable reports that he'd occasionally play on the right side in Sweden, at various levels, but nothing concrete. I believe he said in an interview that he feels he can play either side effectively.

Also a little surprised Mynio isn't in the mix today.

He must be hurting or injured a bit.

I too was surprised, and even disappointed by this. It was the first thing that jumped out at me. I want to see if this kid can grow into something. And wasn't he an early signing by the Canucks? Maybe there is more to it and he is also carrying something into the camp.

Yeah. I really like this kid. He was just at the wjc showcase this summer and played very well. He's the best defenseman out of the entire group. He must be banged up a bit.

I'd imagine that the teams are perfectly fine with it being located in Penticton rather than like Grand Prairie.
One of the best times of summer in one of the best places in Canada? I am sure the players and staff are really torn up over this.

Hockey is back!!!!!!!

Most interested in watching the following players tonight:

At forward:
Lekkerimaki - he should dominate
Raty - how much has his skating improved?
Romani - is this kid's offensive abilities enough to make him a legit NHL prospect?

On Defense:
Pettersson - how close is he to NHL games?
Mynio - Is he a prospect we should watch closely?
Kudryavtsev - can he translate a solid OHL career to the pro level (won't know the answer from this tournament)?

Vector Insider Update! Junior Canucks are playing soccer outside the rink. Bains, Pettersson, Hirose, etc.

Walked by Kris Knoblauch exiting a hotel. Said “Hi” to each other. Taller than I thought.
That's all you have to say? How much taller? He's listed as 6'4" on Elite Prospects. Could he have grown since he retired? Was there some reason to understate his height when he was playing? C'mon! We need something to discuss for another hour!

Camera and lighting look really good. Don't remember the video being this good in past tourneys.

Maybe RJ's getting paid more as AGM.
