Nice that they can have the veteran leadership Dr. Cross provides.

 

[DominicT]

Expect one of these between Mitchell Dempsey and Anthony Camara

 

[DKH]

Very disappointed with the Bruins not properly naming this the 'Knight Coming Out Party/Tourney'

thanks Caballo for the info

 

[bruinmann77]

any one have the 411 on some of these Guys who are not part of the Bruins system?
I hear Campbell Elyniuk is one mean tough Son of a Gun

 

[UConn126]

Any chance the rookie games get streamed anywhere?

 

[BronxBruin]

Seems odd that Joe Morrow won't be attending. I wonder why.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Definitely the most excited to see what Camara can do.

 

[Alicat]

Expect one of these between Mitchell Dempsey and Anthony Camara

I love a good gong show

Any idea if these games will be televised?

 

[DoubleAAAA]

Was surprised to see that the 3 new kids aren't on the list.

No idea.

But it should be interesting with Dempsey, Camara and Elynuik on the ice at the same time.

Dempsey: 6'3 - 210
Camara: 6'1- 195
Elynuik: 6'2 - 180

People on here think Camara is a good fighter and tough? Wait'll they get a look at Dempsey and Elynuik, with the latter being one mean S.O.B. (I'm sure Colt likes him )

Elynuik's father Pat played in 500+ NHL games and scored 154 goals and 188 assists. Hit the 30 goal mark twice and 20 goals 3 times in 5 full seasons. Son isn't as skilled as dad.

Dempsey is in a similar spot as Camara when drafted although Dempsey hasn't had a full OHL season under his belt as Camara did. It's all about potential. This season will tell the tale with him.

One on one battle in the fisticuffs? I give it to Dempsey. Hope we have a trifecta in camp ! I think the Bruins opinion of Dempsey is that they see him as a Shawn Thornton in a few years.

 

[PlayMakers]

Interesting that Fraser and Smith are not on a list that includes Spooner (and Knight).

 

[bruinmann77]

would not mind seeing him in the bruins system Elynuik, with the latter being one mean S.O.B. (I'm sure Colt likes him )

 

[KnightofBoston]

I hope they stream the games

 

[DKH]

Those guys played double digit NHL games plus Boston needs to make sure my two boys are already a bit battle tested when big boy camp starts. I would rather watch these games than probably 75% of the regular season games. The 4 teams are loaded and there are just enough lose cannons in this to make it interesting. Kirk will be there so I know this will be covered well. I know I drive Kirk nuts but I can tell you Kirk is very good at this. Real. Good.

Kirk will also have a preview on all the guys at this rookie camp on New England Hockey Journal hopefully for tonight. I know he's busy putting it together as I type this.

http://hockeyjournal.com/landing/index will probably be under Kirk's call for those interested

Someday for sure

One of the Dallas boys will likely make their way next to spooner though

 

[Artemis]

If the NHL Network had any initiative, it would send crews to the rookie tourneys (there's also the Traverse City tourney, with Columbus, Buffalo, Carolina, the Rangers, Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota and St. Louis) and televise some of the games. You'd have to think fans would rather watch that than rerun #800 of "Oil Change."

it may seem odd to some that Spooner is there but the Bruins brass wants to see where he is and the sooner the better; if he plays well has satisfied his bosses with his conditioning and commitment I can see them going with him (with Soderberg on wing and ready to move over if he has to); the Bruins have a salary cap problem and a glut at center and it's not difficult to figure Chris Kelly being moved solves both. However, Boston probably likes Kelly enough that if Spooner needs more seasoning or Soderberg is still adjusting they keep him for the time being.

If Spooner shines (which is not a stretch at all) and Soderberg looks like he is going to be what the wait was all about, how the heck can they keep Kelly and that contract?

Can't wait to see Camara and Griffith- obviously I play on Knight and even Spooner quite a bit, but these two are going to be a lot of fun to watch. I must always catch Griffith right because I've seen him live in London, on TV, and in DC and I am always impressed. If he had the Recchi grit, warrior down low approach I see Griffith- his offensive game reminds me of Rex and I remember him from day one in Pittsburgh.

I was so close to the Trotman concussion against Bridgeport had this been a Twilight Zone episode and time could have stopped, I could have in a normal tone told him to watch it. Former Providence player McDonald nailed him and it was sort of an ahole hit to me- Trotman got whopped and it was pretty horrible and high by McDonald.

anyways, like Trotman a lot and can see him one day making Boston if he can avoid anymore dings.

should be a great weekend in a beautiful place for those attending- very jealous....great job Kirk

Griffith has been power skating with the Rupert twins with power-skating coach Todd Warriner on synthetic ice this summer. Obviously, I haven't seen Griffith yet since, but watching the Rupert twins as I type this and the difference is noticeable in both. Hope it has the same impact with Griffith.

thanks for the info- hope all is well, very well, super well....and as for Seth, I just think he will someday skate in the NHL, be it a game or triple digits. I think he will be very successful in the AHL and get a shot at some point.

Cross? Isn't he 30?

Cross? Isn't he 30?

just curious, aren't you nervous when all these posters meet you at the HF game and realize you're relatively normal (at least considered by todays standards) and a nice guy
