GDT: Unofficially Official 19-20 Training Camp Thread

Day 2 practice stream:



Much better focus on the on-ice action today. Second-half of the video are the Blash and TyBert interviews from yesterday, as well as half of a Hirose interview from today.

Bonus Carley action as well, so I can't complain too much.

Is Svech on the ice today? I heard from fans online that are in TC that he hit a rut on the ice in day 1 and tweek his knee and he did not continue. Have not heard any of the media saying anything about it. Just curious.

That's not an impression.
That's a narrative.

I made this comment last year and howled down by the masses.

The guy writes generic sentences that could apply to a general specification. Ends up saying not very much.

it doesnt matter what you think about maliks writing . the important part of his blog is he searches the planet earth for all wings info then centralizes it for us . you can get mail 24/7 with everything redwings mal's digs up . and its not as if hes not also in the know about all kinds of wings goings on . hes not a big city pretty boy media or college boy type . hes a blue collar middle class detroit unpolished type person thats just simply grinding away at providing wing info and i appreciate the heck out of it . when he wasnt working it got REAL WEAK counting on the other redwing media peeps for info .

This was my point. Jump straight to the defence.

It's nothing every single one of us couldn't find and couldn't know without even watching the practices. Which makes not a recount of the camp, but a check of their status in the org.

Not sure what this comment is about. The guy provides very little commentary on how the players are actually doing versus their status. He doesn't hit the mark of what he's aiming to do or what he should be aiming to do.

Everyone here knows svech needs a big year. Would be interesting to hear how hes going at the TC rather than knowing he needs a big year.

mal's post 4 'side's' article links :
Four articles spotlighting Moritz Seider

Fellow prospect Taro Hirose has been hanging with Seider.
“He’s an awesome guy, real good character guy,” Hirose said. “I think you can tell he’s going to be an unbelievable player in the league.”
Hirose added: “He has a lot of confidence with the puck and he’s one of those D-men that, as an offensive-minded guy, you want to play with because he’s not just going to be dumping the puck in, he’s going to be making plays and looking for you.”

Okay, whether or not you appreciate Malik is getting off-topic a bit; let's discuss the prospects and other goings-on instead, shall we?

maliks saturday nite report from tctc :
Impressions from the second day of the Red Wings’ training camp ’19

I hate to add fuel to the fire, but there’s genuinely no insight here. It’s simply player summaries we already know by having knowledge of these guys. I don’t mind Malik but it’s a total fluff piece.

I mean look at del la Rose’s summary: de la Rose makes moderately large look delicate at times because the 6’3,” 216-pound winger has superb footwork. He’s not overly fast, but he’s maneuverable, and the 24-year-old can bump and grind as well.

Nothing.

I wish he'd focus on guys who look different in some way, good or bad, rather than creating this massively long writeup that just restates how each player plays.

I don't want to pile on. But here's what kills me.
This probably took 90 minutes, at least, to compose.
He could use that 90s minutes to turn his audio files, which I don't listen to, into a story.
Or, he could choose a couple guys and focus on them.
It just seems exhausting for exhausting's sake.

Sigh... if this is going to be a "Bash the Blogger" thread, might as well lock it up.

It's not bashing. I sent him $50 by paypal just today. And I encourage anyone who reads his blog to scan the headlines to do the same.
I just think he's up there, he has access... make it work. Do something with it.

A cry baby because I critiqued his piece? I like Malik, and appreciate what what he does, but I’m simply pointing out that I’d rather he focus on particular players/prospects rather than point out that del la Rose is big and can grind.

I get it, I do; I simply don't want this to be a thread about a blogger, whether their style is anyone's bag of tea or not.

Discuss the information, not the shortcomings - perceived or otherwise - of the person presenting the information. It doesn't matter if it's Malik, HSJ, KHAAAAAAAAN!, or anyone else.

I realize that's not really my choice to make because I'm not a mod, but yeah.

Edit: Unless it's regarding Art's "color commentary." My hypocrisy knows no bounds.
