Pre-Game Talk: Camp Thread

[Leetch3]

Ugh those 12 pm starts.

Not only from the fan perspective, but more importantly I feel like the team always plays like crap in the afternoon and noon is super early.

they are going to be basically locked in their hotel rooms so its not like they have to worry about being out late the night before

 

[Ola]

Noon is early even for a European!

We’re do someone have to move to watch these games at a good time? Siberia?

 

[Ghost of jas]

I want to keep Buchnevich regardless. I’m hoping Strome gets locked up at a reasonable number due to his limited sample size and continues to at least have success with Bread, even if they don’t match this year.

Panarin - Strome - Kakko
Kreider - Zibanejad - Buchnevich
Kravstov - Chytil - Gauthier

We could theoretically, and without reaching or being dramatically unrealistic, have our entire top nine for the next several years already in place and ready to assume their roles as early as the next year or two. Who goes where could shuffle, but that could be the top nine without any changes, realistically. Left D and appropriate bottom six players are the only real holes.

Where’s Lafreniere?

 

[LokiDog]

Where’s Lafreniere?

Edmonton probably.

Better this than super late at night for you guys.

 

[Crease]

Work from home on the 3rd will be interesting.

 

[apoptygma]

Looking at that schedule and I'm starting to drool. I'm really craving some good sport now, and with games starting early every day, even I as an european can watch live hockey from when I finish work until bedtime (and beyond).

well luckily no kids allowed in the bubble

 

[Alluckks]

There is a lot of Kovalev in Kravstov. Who else would think a 2+ minute punishment shift was a reward? I could see Krava thinking that way. I still hope there is that much game in him too. He embarrassed too many guys in the KHL as a HS student to be mediocre.

It was a 7+ minute shift lol

 

[Leonardo87]

Looks like I’m working from home on Monday 8/3 and when I say working from home I mean watching the game. Lol.

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m taking off the 3rd I can’t have any distractions. Must focus from sunrise thru the postgame. Then I have to come here and yell at @Leetch3 and @Amazing Kreiderman

 

[McSauer]

Ha yeh I got the 3rd and the 4th off (requested when i saw a noon and 4 PM game, tent; now I see the Tues game is at 8, oh well...)

 

[Riche16]

I’ve heard that NBC is handling the East games and TSN the west... that’s tech crew not announcers / graphics etc
Individual entities would take those feeds (like the World Feed in Olympics) and use their announcers and add graphics downstream.

Both ice surfaces painted w NHL logo only... no individual teams (obviously)

If we yell at each other, we can't yell at our wives/girlfriends. I consider it good therapy

I’m gonna have a huge time zone problem but I’m gonna watch anyhow.

 

[nyr2k2]

I'm working from home and may well be working from home until 2021, so I will fortunately be able to take in all the games.

 

[True Blue]

Where’s Lafreniere?

He and the obligatory second rounder were traded for Eichel.

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m following this scrimmage today on Twitter. They streamed although not a great feed of course the first half. Shesterkin is completely dialed in. Hank and Georgiev split time. Hank well looks like he’s looked all year. Slow. Georgiev looks very good today.

there’s zero reason to believe the goalie depth chart isn’t Iggy Georgie Hank in that order. Nothing has changed except hank being 4 months older and nostalgic media members pushing for him to start. He won’t.

 

[Kovalev27]

i don’t think I’m going back like ever. They’re going to make it very optional in office for big meetings only I believe. We’re going to be selling off a lot of offices around the world it sounds like. I’m sure many other fortune 500s will do the same

 

[Irishguy42]

 

[Kupo]

Miller + Fox

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

If I was putting a bet on it, I’d wager Igor starts every game and Hank gets the back to back game 3

Scrimmage ended. The boys are off tomorrow.

This is hilarious:
