GDT: Training camp 2018 (#teamgrit vs #teamgrind)

[The Faulker 27]

Bill was an idiot. Not necessarily related, just wanted to get that off my chest.

 

[HisIceness]

He may not go by the "Sea Bass" nickname anymore but he will always be our seabass.

RBA: “Nicknames are for *****es”

So, a ho name.

 

[NotOpie]

There were several times over the Summer, however, when he was referred to as "Fish" or "Fishy" by some of the players....Skinner being one of them, so that might have died as well.

They shipped off everyone that had a nickname for Aho.

There was an interview last year with either Maniscalco or Tripp where they kept bugging Aho about the nickname, and I have never seen anyone more visibly frustrated with how their time being wasted.

Yeah, it's basically a don't take my quietness as weakness situation.

 

[bluedevil58]

Is Pesce out too?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Is Pesce out too?

Yes. He’ll be lucky to play again

 

[bluedevil58]

Yes. He’ll be lucky to play again

Are you trolling me right now? I hope you are not serious.

 

[MinJaBen]

Is Pesce out too?

He's not 100% with some lung issue, but is on the ice for camp. Nobody knows how long before he will be ready.

Wouldn't say frustration. It's the classic Finnish international sportsman bemusement for "I get paid silly for doing sport that I love, this is probably the reason why".

If there's one thing on that Rask injury I'm looking for is that forcing Carolina to give Aho a real shot at C right away.
So far post draft Aho has shown he has the skill set for that role and if he succeeds he could solve Carolinas biggest issue and basically set the roster for contending years(ignoring net).

They could easily be too carefull with that and miss the opportunity to develop him at C.

There is no question that I'd get written up at least 2 or 3 times a year if I had to answer questions from either of those two in my workplace. I just don't understand what is so difficult about coming up with interview questions that players don't mind answering, that the audience isn't completely bored to hear the answers to.

We are not off to a good start this season. Already have injuries and the pre-season hasn't even started yet.

I just don’t understand how impossible it apparently is to read the room. Like if Aho is clearly not into it, just stick to business and get out of there.

 

[NotOpie]

On a separate note, do we have any sort of read on our own piece of Cliff Pu? I'd love to know if he's any good or if he just stinks.....couldn't resist.

Still, I'd like to know if anybody has anything on Pu.

 

[Ole Gil]

Tripp probably interviews the individual star players 30 times a year? More? Figure 3 questions an interview. And they do it for numerous seasons.

How many 100's of questions can you come up with before it starts being redundant/boring? And that doesn't even factor in that many of the players are purposefully giving the Bull Durham style responses.

A stupid nickname may not be the best interview topic, but it's not like this was Tripp's one chance to talk to Aho and ask his very best question. It was a weird interview, but there's another 500 opportunities right around the corner.

I'm working on it as we speak.

Ok, so after so many years, when do we get to see/hear that?

Henman, Mattheos, and De Jong have been cut

[The Faulker 27]

Is there any non-fake news coming out of the closed public training camp?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Only thing I heard is that Faulk asked for a trade.

 

[Novacane]

I also heard Aho is very disappointed and frustrated about not being in the leadership group
