I won't be making it down today, but it looks like Caged Great and Scorpion have it covered.



Here are some thoughts from Saturday:

Saturday's session was a lot higher tempo than Friday's. They also did a lot more game-like drills, and position specific drills.

For the most part, we saw consistent D pairings. In the first group, it was Andersson-Grossmann, Wotherspoon-Hamilton, and Culkin-Bruce. The second group was Brodie-Kulak, Falkovsky-Grigorev, and Engelland-Kylington (or Eggo and Chilly, as Gulutzan calls them). The third group had Gio-Wideman, Kanzig-Morrison, and Dyukov-Hyman-Robak (I don't remember how they paired off, I didn't really notice them at all). I suspect we'll see those pairings on Monday.

They worked a lot on controlled zone entries and exits.

Hathaway really impressed me with his shot. At least 4 times, he threaded a shot through and picked the corner.

Wotherspoon and Hamilton were a solid pairing, as were Brodie and Kulak. Culkin also impressed me with his play. He was really good at breaking up plays and clearing the zone.

I'm not sure what Kravchenko's background is. He was born in California and played in the NCAA, but he must have some fluency in Russian because there were a couple of times I noticed he was translating for Grigoriev.


None of the PTO guys have done anything to impress me. Higgins looked better on Saturday than Friday. Frattin looked better on Friday. Grossmann is just big and slow and seemed a step behind.

Oliver Kylington continues to be this team's best defensive prospect. Good hand-eye, amazing skater, awesome passer...

Frattin and Vey connecting on a nice play. Matt with the nice pass, Linden with a good finish.

Just needs to get some man-bulk onto that frame. Keep forgetting that he's still 19.

What did Brodie break into the NHL at? 22? At this rate Kylington may actually beat him by 1-2 years, which for a young defenceman is massive. Offensively, he already looks to be Brodie's equal. Really starting to see why he was rated so high early on in his draft year. Basically got ourselves a top 10 pick with a late 2nd.

If Gaudreau doesn't get signed it sounds like the Flames have a option to put Phillips in a Gaudreau jersey and most fans wouldn't know the difference.

He's been unreal everywhere I've seen him.

He might have puck skills but in teh prospect tournament at least he showed little interest in helping out defensively. Hopefully Gulutzan beats that out of him quickly

I'm also trying to scope who has CP open on their phones. It's all very mysterious knowing you're all here.

The players are starting to head onto the ice. Either I'm getting old or Tkachuk is just a baby.


I think I'm just getting old.
