[TheDaysOf 04]

disappointing 1st period coming off 2 loses

 

[Felonious Python]

this is one of the worst showcases I can recall.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Stronger opening shift by Fortier, Koepke, and Robert

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

And then Carolina scores...

A little confusion between MacArthur and Edmonds

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good try by the 1st pp unit of Fortier, Koepke, and Robert. Imo the 3 of them have probably been or best forwards of the tournament

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Big save by Hugo

 

[Felonious Python]

TB maybe should have invited some free agents just so that there were some jobs on the line. The Canes have like 7 invitees.

 

[Point21]

LOLOLOL just got Michigan'd

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Alexander Pashin was someone I think we talked about in our draft threads years ago

The Canes like to pick the guys we go for on here.

I remember us talking about the possibility of drafting Jamieson Rees too. Both small guys

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I thought that was gonna be a 5 on 3 for the Bolts. Instead it's now 4 on 4

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Yikes, another bad change. Canes got 3 guys behind the defense and somehow didn't score

 

[Felonious Python]

Groulx on the team's performance:

"(Our compete level) wasn't good enough. Not near where we have to be. I think in this tournament what we saw in the three games were (other) teams that were skating and competing hard. I think our older guys did not produce offensively, but they created chances. I think for some of the guys here in the tournament they didn't have one shot on net, or a scoring chance all tournament long. I think it's a disappointing result. Last year I thought we won the three games. This year we lost the three of them. I don't think we were close. The power play did not produce, our pk was not very good, the goaltending was average, so overall not a very positive tournament. It was new for many of them, but that goes for every team. It's not like we're different. They have young players as well on the other teams. They were just better than us this week. It's for our guys to learn from it and get ready for the main camp."

"Overall I thought there were many guys surprised by the level of hockey here. It's a process, and they have to understand that here it's one thing, but next week's going to be better, and then in three weeks it's going to be even better, and in three months it's going to be even better, so it's for them to adjust."

"You're playing at this level, it's the pace of the game, and the compete of the game, and you have to fight for your space on the ice. I think for many of them it was different, and it's something that I believe they have to learn quickly."

On Dyllan Gill:

"I think Dyllan obviously is a young player. I think his effort and his game was good enough. Not probably if you ask him. I think he'd tell you he wanted to be better, but I think good enough. He did a lot of good things."

On Lucas Edmonds:

"I think he was a little bit surprised by the speed of the game and the compete. When you watch him you know he can shoot the puck and make plays, but I think it's gonna be for him to adjust to the pace of the game. Adjust to playing against men, older guys, and all that. I think Lucas is a player that's going to get better as the camp goes along and the season goes along."

On new players that stuck out:

"I think (Felix Robert) was pretty good in the three games. As I mentioned, I didn't know him well, but I thought he made some plays, and scored a goal. Like I said, I don't think we had a lot of finishing touches this week, but overall I thought Robby was good. I thought Carlile on defense was probably one of our best D with (Nick Perbix). I was impressed also with Tyson Feist. The guy signed with us last year, he got here, not intimidated, showed a lot of compete (against Florida) especially. So I thought he did well."
