This is the third year in a row that one or some of their prospects have pulled out of the tourney due to Mono. What's in the water over there?

Nothing wrong with the water here, and the summer weather has been outstanding. It never rains in Vancouver :sarcasm:

Seriously there's been no significant rainfall since mid june. I've never seen grass so brown anywhere (there is green grass around but they are watering it)

Same thing a couple of years ago when I was out there - there was a ban on washing cars and watering lawns. Everything was brown - very strange for usually-lush Vancouver.

Pascal Vincent (who will be coaching this squad) just told Kevin O that Poolman is good to go for this tournament.

IIRC he said "as of right now he's good to go"

I have high hopes for Poolman. I just think that with the shoulder surgeries, this whole year will be a rehab year for him.

Geez, just don't reinjure yourself buddy.

Anyone attending tomorrow's practice?

In previous years the line combos and pairings have been kept intact for the first game.

The sad part of the Extension announcement press conference is that there will probably be no local media watching this practice

Stanley wasnt exactly screaming top prospect when he was drafted to be honest, so this doesnt exactly change anything.

I expect us to get destroyed in this tourny but will be watching for development purposes.

that article was slightly lame.
eliminating the Jets' bias I/we may have, i am still surprised that you didn't have Poolman or Stanley in there. instead, they put a 22 year old KHL prospect in there. lol.

i mean, in the end, who cares. it's just a list.

Yeah that made ma laugh as well :laugh: There would have been enough Jets candidates to put at #10... Poolman? Niku?

On the afternoon ride show Maurice said that about a dozen of the young guns that are boarder line making the team will have a mini camp for a week to prepare them for main camp. Maurice also said that the Jets found that high end prospect in their 2nd young stars tournament tend to not play well so the team decided to setup this mini camp so the coaches can do some one on one work with the players and what the coaches expectation are to give them the best shot at making the team. Conner, Roslovic and Lemieux are part of this group. I really like this idea of a mini camp for prospect that have a decent chance to make the team all the help they need to succeed.
