what happened with blake speers
Pop's has bounced all over the place in recent years, so there is some thought that his game had been completely unsettled because of that. So last year in Bing maybe he wasn't showing what he could do, especially on a really bad team.Just watched the replay on YT. The Russians looked pretty good. I seem to remember reading some poster throwing shade at Popugaev, and I'm not sure why. I agree with Amanda that he looked pretty effective / good out there. Also thought Maltsev showed some savvy out there, as well. Vukojevic stood out for me, too.
On team White, it was Graeme Clarke I noticed in a positive way.
Is Boqvist a RWer or LWer?
He's a LW
white?Aside from Ty Smith & Reilly Walsh, who did everyone think the best Dman prospect was? I was really impressed by Vukojevic and McCarthy.
is there a way to watch the full stream/replay of this again?

What were you expecting? He played in the NAHL last year and stepped into a development camp with a handful of guys with NHL experience plus Boqvist and Hughes. It would have been incredible if he didn't look out of place.I thought goaltender Cole Brady was terrible at this camp.

Maybe Ray and company liked his mental makeup and size, but he's a long term project.
Cormier split last season between the coast and AHL. Half the shooters Brady was facing won't sniff NCAA hockey, let alone any level of pro hockey.I was expecting him to be the worst goaltender at the camp, but I didn't think he was going to be THAT much worse than Cormier. Cormier was miles better.

Let me know if I’m being greedy but can you at least mention times of goals scored? Hughes in particular?
any summary of all participants?
The first post of the thread has the roster. Unless by summary you mean how guys did?
check julie robenhymer's tweets. she did a nice summary of a few playersany summary of all participants?
I thought Pop's benefitted because he was playing harder then the rest of the guys. Evident by his celly, he cared. Which is fine by me, him upping the energy level is key to him developing. I see it as a good sign.I watched a big chunk of the game last night, and I really question the wisdom of making too much out of anyone's performance in that game. For example, I think a guy like Popugaev probably benefits from that format (no real checking, toned down physical play) vs. a guy like Seney who's a small scoring forward but made the big leagues through tenacious play.
So am I happy that Boqvist looked great out there? Am I happy that McLeod had some real nice shifts? Yeah. But I wouldn't read anything into it.
