Traverse City Prospects Tournament 2019

[lomekian]

Smith with Veleno has been a good fit

 

[RedMenace]

Smith and Pearson have a ton of NHL depth qualities. They aren't guys you go nuts over but they are pretty good at a lot of things. Still need to keep developing though.

Exactly.

And Smith gets rewarded for a great game with a bonus goal.

[lhsgolf19]

Well that was fun

 

[RedMenace]

Nice nice nice win, boys.

I know it's "just" a pre-season prospects tournament, but this was a lot of good competition for and by these kids.

Good shit, really excited for the season to start.

 

[Ezekial]

In the end, you've gotta have some fun, right?

 

[Christien]

Feels good to win something these days. Hopefully the next thing we win is the draft lottery

 

[deca guard]

He seems to really have improved his skating, I don't remember him looking as mobile as he has in this tournament. He looked pretty good overall, hope he brings it into the season as well.

 

[waltdetroit]

I think this is the 1st time we've won the tournament

 

[RedMenace]

And yeah, if any of the Traverse City crew happens to reads this, thanks for putting this on. We give you a lot of shit, but it's all in good fun, and I know most of us appreciate it.

But seriously, shut up, Art.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

I think this is the 1st time we've won the tournament

Thought I heard the broadcast crew say we won it in 2013.

Not really. He's older than most of the prospects, has a full AHL season already, and the training that goes with it. I'll be impressed if he puts up points in the AHL, and I'll eat crow if he does it in the NHL.

He's an early 2nd rd pick. Anything less than 3rd line NHLer is a bust, I could care less if he scores 100 goals in a prospect tournament.

Considering less than half the 2nd round picks actually make the NHL that is an interesting stance...

2nd time.

2013 was the 1st

 

[Ulysses31]

Veleno went full camel toews

i could hear pierre mcquire's voice in my head on that 2nd goal

 

[Henkka]

2nd time.

2013 was the 1st

Was that with Nyquist, Tatar, Andersson and corps?
