Coyotes Rookies Camp Sept. 7th (Tournament 9th-12th)

[SniperHF]

Miska's in now.

 

[Muppet]

Holy **** Miska just had a crazy sequence of saves.

 

[SniperHF]

Miska standing on his head and doing jumping jacks (ignore the physics of this) during the 5 on 3.

 

[Mosby]

Better view of Hill's mask

 

[RABBIT]

I think Strome looks great. Miska a stud. Might be a helluva showcase for him

 

[SniperHF]

You'd think all the goalies using the throwback logo would be a hint to the organization....

 

[RABBIT]

Strong:
Strome
Smereck
Miska.

Better view of Hill's mask

I think he should find a mask for a beer league team. Have not been impressed with him since we signed him. He was horrible last year in AHL. And he has been horrible in both games.

 

[SniperHF]

Strome in a little shoving match.

EDIT: I didn't think Hill was horrible in the first game. The last goal wasn't great but he was peppered and hung out to dry most of the game.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

I think Petterson has been good as well.

 

[SniperHF]

The last few minutes of this period have been the most sustained offensive pressure they've had in all 3 games.

 

[Muppet]

Strome's looking good today. Very slick passing game. Miska has easily outperformed Hill this tournament as well.

 

[Matias Maccete]

What happened with Kudla? He's in playing college hockey right?

 

[AZviaNJ]

Miska has been brilliant....with that said, he'll probably give up 3 in the 3rd.

 

[Jakey53]

Do you think Keller is going to make the team?

Not trying to call you out, just trying to pick your brain a little.

I really have no idea. We will have a much better idea after the main camp.

MacInnis has definitely improved. One of the standouts.





I can only laugh when you guys say these are meaningless yet you are here commenting on the tournament. I don't think they are meaningless IF the coaches are evaluating rookies, players on PTO and players who should crack main camp. So I won't read too much in to line pairings or depth charts at this point. I just want to see some players play like they're trying to make a roster. From what I have seen first two games, Tochs and his staff have got some work to do.

I'm not commenting on the tournament. I might have watched 10 minutes at most.

I think the prospect games matter more for the middle tier prospects than the top ones. Capobianco, Dineen, MacInnis, Pederson. And the guys on tryout could be looking to break into the ECHL and get on the AHL roster's radar or see their career come to an end.

I don't understand this tournament at all. The kids have been training all off season in all different parts of the country, come to town and practice one or twice and then travel and play a couple of games. The organization said they did not want to over load the kids at this time and just let them play. I call it pick up hockey at it's finest.

 

[moosemeister]

Miska has been my surprise player this tournament. Kid looks poised and makes some crazy saves. Also had a little shoving match with a player yesterday after a whistle. Definitely my prospect to keep an eye on.

Fisher has to make this team. The guy looks so dominant every time he's out there. Would be floored if he didn't make the team out of camp.

Keller is meh. But I never had high hopes for him.

Strome looked better today.

 

[knich]

Strome's looking good today. Very slick passing game. Miska has easily outperformed Hill this tournament as well.

I agree Strome has looked pretty good today. Most importantly, he showed some wheels. Miska has been very good both games.

 

[SniperHF]

Little leaky on that goal.

 

[Grimes]

Only been watching the last ten minutes but POJ looks night and day better since the first game. That's the type of prospect you want to see make improvement at these tournaments. Strome/Keller have their eyes on the big prize.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Joseph has been great this tournament. Crazy that despite trading our 1st we still landed a high end prospect. Nice to see strome score there.

 

[SniperHF]

Strome with the goal in garbage time.

 

[tucknroll]

What happened with Kudla? He's in playing college hockey right?

Won't be going to Arizona State anymore, Joined the University team for his hometown of Guelph. Apparently didn't have the marks to get in.

 

[knich]

Little leaky on that goal.

Indeed he was but he played on his head otherwise.

 

[SR]

Anyone got the final score for this one?

Anyone got the final score for this one?
