@pham1717: Sam R is not practicing today due to "maintenance" I wonder if it has anything to do with that he got blown up a few times during the scrim

His hockey brain requires regular "maintenance"

Listening to Nolan talk is maddening. The guy is so out of touch.

Let us hope the precision of the working gears remain intact instead of scrambled eggs.

Well, what's he saying and where's he saying it?

I do remember a blue forward trying to line him up in open ice (as white exited their zone in the second IIRC) that made me mutter an expletive or two, but Reinhart narrowly escaped. I immediately looked to see how he was skating after that, as though he escaped getting Umberger'ed, it looked awfully close to a knee-on-knee to my eye.

He's not the brightest in the box, that's for certain.

i know the exact play you are talking about, because I cringed as well fully expecting reinhart to go down to the ice holding his knee

Yep, that was Samuels-Thomas. I was sitting right on that blueline and it definitely wasn't knee to knee. I would say if anything a Charlie horse. Looked like he caught his upper thigh or hip, even though he barely caught him.

Could you imagine the vitriol and pitchforks that would come out if this was Grigorenko?

 

[start winnin]

**** OFF JST.

He was hassling Reinhart all night.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Girgensons got Reinhart pretty good too, but we can't get mad at Zemgus.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: DRAKE CAGGIULA

Development camp invitee Drake Caggiula talks about his experience this week with the Sabres.

The 20-year-old wing (5-foot-10, 176 pounds) scored twice in the Blue & White Scrimmage on Tuesday and will play at North Dakota in the fall for his junior season.

Sabres Reinhart misses practice

The Sabres prospects got a whole different type of practice on Thursday.

Ted Nolan retained skating coach Dawn Braid and she put the two groups through a few hours of power skating.

Sam Reinhart was given a “maintenance†day and did not practice. He's been hit very hard throughout this camp by Zemgus Girgensons and Jordan Samuels-Thomas.

Chadd Cassidy has been very complimentary of Mikhail Grigorenko this camp. He’s liked what he’s seen this week and he likes the work Grigorenko has been putting in in Quebec City. The young Russian said, “I think this year it’s been more intense and more physical. The compete level is higher than previous years.â€

Grigorenko is trying to become a big part of the main core that Tim Murray is building. The center said this group of young players is going to be good, “Yes for sure, I think we have a great group of young guys here and probably we’re not going to all play this year, but in the really near future, we’ll be able to play for a Stanley Cup each and every year for like 10 to 15 years in a row we’ll always be there.€

Grigorenko is such a pouter. He's gonna be headed to the KHL soon.

Exactly my sentiments. What can TM get for him?

Duff says "the doors open just before 10:30".....what does that mean? Does this thing start at 10:30 with us racing to grab a seat before it starts? The doors really open earlier or the 3v3 starts closer to 11:00?

Alright which one of you good looking lads/ladies wants to sit next to me tomorrow morning.

This quote should silence the people who think Grigorenko may be pissed about being sent down to the AHL.

"From past experiences, I've kind of realized that it was probably no one's fault but mine that I didn't stay in the NHL," Grigorenko told the Sabres website at development camp. "If I want to play in the best league in the world, it's just on me. No one is going to make me play just because I was drafted (in the) first round. I just need to go out there and just be the best."

Really impressed with the way Grigorenko seems to be coming around. He's obviously taken his off-ice training very seriously of late, and he looks to have adopted the right attitude wrt really earning his chances.
