GDT: Training Camp Thread 2013 - It's Back...

[bellagiobob]

Players travel a lot during the season. Lots of people coughing and sneezing at the various airports.

I love hearing all the players saying how Nail's exciting, positive attitude is contagious around the locker room. Really good to hear! Also funny to read some of the tweets going back and forth between Yakupov and Eberle, Hall, RNH, etc. Sounds like he's fitting in quite nicely on and off the ice.

The best player commercials are usually the ones where they don't have any lines.

Eberle has been good in these. (A lot better than Dubnyk at least)

 

[Supermassive]

If anyone has the Ford commercials with Gene Principe and Hall or Eberle...please for the love of all that is right do not post them. Poor kids were just dying on camera.

I love how the ****** is wearing Canucks colors.

was going to post this. Brilliant.

I was interupted and missed the tsn prediction - where did they rank Dubnyk?

Funny, Khabi pretty much says straight up on the Oilers web site in his video today that he's not injured, he's just not ready. I had a feeling. like I said, in the scrim highlights he looks pretty bad, that first goal he gives up was horrible.

I have a hunch it's exactly the same situation with Peckham.

Edit: Krueger basically says that Peckham wasn't in shape, and they're going to test him again on Monday.

TSN had a nice little Oilers segment tonight.
I'm pretty jealous a lot of teams get to kick their season off tomorrow.

That was cool to watch live. Yak was shelfing it most times. After that Justin tried to put a puck through the handel of a milk crate.

Watching Yakupov's work ethic, curiosity and enthusiasm for even one day reminded me of those tapes of the 80s teams practicing led by Gretzky. Very excited about what #64's going to accomplish and drive his teammates to accomplish. Tuesday you could see he and Gagner competing in shooting drills. Made Sam better.

So it's really:

RNH + Yakupov = Gretzky

Hall = Messier

Eberle = Kurri

Schultz = Coffey

MacKinnon = Anderson?

That last shot he took, no goalie, any where on the planet saves that. Across the ice, top corner, about 95mph. Disgusting. The powerplay up here is going to make the one in OKC look like Columbus'
