Day 3 Development Camp
- different setup today, they separated the players into two groups black shirts & white shirts & went to two different rinks within the Sensplex.
- it was all drills today & some were kind of interesting. One where there were two nets, no sticks, two on two trying to score on hockey nets with a soccer ball on skates, there was a lot of spillage as guys were falling all over themselves.
- here is some good news on a glum day, Jarrod Maidens was on the ice today with the other players participating in all the same drills as everybody else. And he did not look out of place at all. He has good size, is a good skater, handles the puck well & has a terrific shot. If he can stay healthy he could be a dark horse for this team.
- Mark Stone also joined everyone else after not working out with all the other players for the first two days. BTW he is huge, he doesn't look that fluid working on drills with all the stopping & starting. He kind of lumbers out there, his game is going to be in front of the net.
- Pageau is slowly becoming a very popular player in this town, there were plenty of Quebec license plates in the parking lot. I assume they could be building the new church soon & developing his new congregation, Praise Pageau. Pageau fisted a small kid as he was passing him in the hallway, the kid lit right up.
- because we were going back & forth from one rink to the other we missed a lot but I tried to watch some guys I didn't know a lot about today. I wonder why the goalies didn't have there names on the back of their jerseys today, they did yesterday?
- Quentin Shore - good size, is a good skater, handles the puck well & has a good shot.
- Tobias Lindberg - has good size, decent skater, good shot, still didn't stand out in any way to me but they were only running drills so who knows.
- Chris Leblanc - same as Lindberg, really didn't show much.
- this was a surprise, Robinson (6'5") Sdao (6'4"), Ceci (6'3") & Claesson (6') were standing right in front of me on the ice while I was standing right at the glass. Claesson looked to me to be exactly the same height as Ceci ... humm ... he either grew a few inches or maybe these measurements we see everywhere may not always be correct.
- Darren Kramer - seems to be a real character, he was the one guy that was joking around with the guys & having a good time.
- met Luke Richarson & Shawn Donovan at the rink, good guys, both were also surprised as to what happened today with Alfredsson like everybody else.
- Matt Puempel - still waiting to see something from this guy but again it was just drills. He did try to take me out with a hard slap shot that carried over the net, hit the glass, bounced up over the glass ... in mid-air mind you ... bounced off the wall behind me, hit the seat & roll down along the boards to the waiting hands of young guy with a big smile with his new puck.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
