Pre-Game Talk: 2021 Tampa Bay Lightning Training Camp

[Felonious Python]

Looks like Borgman has shed his camp number for #5 (6?)

Guys that get the low numbers are generally seen as the ones more likely to make the team. You don't give a big boy number to a guy you assign.

Why is the referee have a panda on him?

 

[DFC]

Heads up play by ABB. Nice shot by Coleman.

not so fun fact: pandas don't really like bamboo, but they make do.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nice goal by Ross Colton.

Maroon-Stephens-Joseph did not look too good there

 

[Felonious Python]

Borgman's number at the beginning of camp was 68. He's in 5 now. It may be a simple equipment issue, but that's maybe a sign that he's staying.

Killorn looking like the best forward on either side right now, nice followup by ABB on the Hedman pinch

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Welcome back Mathieu Joseph

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

The Killorn line has looked the best. Very noticeable so far

 

[Sky04]

ABB springing Cirelli for the breakaway

 

[DFC]

ABB looked good that period, IMO. And if Joseph can get back to being a speed-first guy, he can be a real asset to us (again).

ABB is making a believer out of me; Foote, not so much.

Foote looks so timid, like he's scared to use his size.

Raddysh looks like a worse version of Verhaeghe, he's got that Namesnikov tunnel vision thing going.

I like what I'm seeing from Colton.

Good thing about the scrimmage is that we can see how these guys match up against players from a contender. Gourde line has already burned several players on the forecheck.

Guys don't want to wreck teammates.

Agreed on everything.

Borgman looks better than Foote through 1 period. Borgman having an easier time getting the puck out of his own zone

If the Lightning pull Cirelli from the pk to start to look at him as more of an offensive player, (especially with Kuch out) that's definitely an area Joseph can hopefully fill. Joseph has always been a big shorthanded goal threat.

ABB looking good so far too

Foote looks so timid, like he's scared to use his size.

Raddysh looks like a worse version of Verhaeghe, he's got that Namesnikov tunnel vision thing going.

I like what I'm seeing from Colton.

Every time I see Colton, I like what I see. I thought he was excellent a year ago in the prospect tournament and really became the guy that got Raddysh and ABB going. He does the dirty work for the more skilled guys. I thought that carried over into the 2019 preseason, and it looked like he had a great year in Syracuse and earned himself an A for his jersey.

 

[Felonious Python]

Decisions realistically are probably pretty much made, but any final conclusions will have to be figured out tonight/tomorrow morning since waivers is at noon.

They'll probably 'know', but still sleep on it to be sure.

 

[Sky04]

Guys don't want to wreck teammates.

You don't have to hit people to show your size.

 

[DFC]

All I'm really looking at with Foote is his skating. I just don't see the improvement. At least not in that period.

 

[Peacefool]

is it only me or streams quality is kinda low? like 360 ,480 max?

the robo-crowd also needs work.

Yeah Colton is developing nicely, he's got good size too, I think he'd fit better as the future 4C over Stephens.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Schenn gets into a little bit of trouble behind the net, puck goes to Borgman and he gets them out. I like what I see from him so far.

 

[DFC]

Sean Day can skate. Is he an invite?

He has a 1 year contract
