Game or practice today?

Practice, maybe a red vs white thingy?

 

[domiwroze]

Practice only @15h00 today.

Welcome day and presentation before going foward with the group.

Translation: Vejdemo will not take part in the rookie tournament despite being eligible. But he is 24 and already has one full season of AHL plus 3 pro seasons in Sweden, so Habs opted to have him only take part in Montreal's main camp.

makes total sense

I'm betting the first tweet we get from the practice today will be about Bouchard's intensity at the start.

What's going on?

You mean like that passionate speech Bouchard gave at the start of camp last year? I think it was at the beginning of rookie camp. Bouchard can really get deeply involved.

I said it all year last year and will continue to say it, this guy is the absolute right guy to head Habs' prospects development.

I remember a clip from development camp in July, when all the players were sitting on the soccer field at the practice facility, the first thing you see is Bouchard running to get in front of everyone to start his speech. The guy's got energy and I love it.

Bouchard is the complete polar opposite of Lefebvre. We know a good thing when we have one, after what we've been through with Lefebvre.

Im not able to watch the Saturday game, does anyone know a way to rewatch it. Does RDS post the game after?

We just heard nothing today from the first practice...

For Ottawa:

Sylvain St-Laurent@Syl_St_LaurentTrios des recrues des #Sens: Formenton-Brown-Batherson, Davidsson-Norris-Gruden, Abramov-Beaudin-Véronneau, Trépanier-Kastelic-Sturtz.#LeDroitContinue

Josh Norris won't play against MTL Saturday.
That 1st line will be hard to contain during that game, Batherson is a pretty impressive player.

Why is there no report after today’s practise?

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

What's our lineup on Saturday? Thinking of going to the game

There is... Poehling, Primeau and Suzuki in individual interviews (videos) here:

Suzuki was told he needs to be comfortable to play both C and RW at the rookie camp because they still don't know whether he would slot at C or RW in the main camp. He's been talking to Kotka about how it is to come in as 'the new guy who needs to steal a roster spot from somebody' to manage his own expectations and mindset. He spent the last few days skating with "pros" so I assume Kotka, Little Mete and the gang.

Thanks for posting this!

 

[Clumsyhab]

Does anyone have the height/weight of those rookies?

 

[26Mats]

So Suzuki will see time at both C and RW to prepare him for main camp.

It seems to be the indication.

 

[ZUKI]

Why Alzner was there ? Just to make a visit ?

 

[Mudz]

So Suzuki will see time at both C and RW to prepare him for main camp.

Looks like they might see him in Shaw position
