And I’m not sure why they wouldn’t be content to do that. lol Far enough away from our real prospects.. no offense to the Stockton players. :P

He looked quite confident out there.
…“Strudwicko/Carthago delenda est”…

(Can Souray be assigned to Stockton? :P )

Those were two things about him that surprised me in games I saw. I thought he skated up ice quite well, and he threw a pretty huge hit in front of me in the Phoenix game, I believe it was. But maybe I just “saw him good” in those cases.

I didnt expect him to make the big squad. He is NOT ready. He needs to go to OKC and work on boards and corner game and learn to adapt to…as Hartikainen said “the boards and corners are there alot faster”, meaning you have far less space and time. I pointed out a few times before camp that Eberle finds holes and is solid on the walls and corners and that Magnum likes to go N/S and only goes E W to get in holes and accelerate. Magnum and Eberle came into camp with a clear advantage over Linus.

LInus needs to pack on a more solid foundation next summer but he could get a call up.

Surprised about Reddox, he was very impressive.

Petiot over Struds. *shakes head*. Struds should have been cut and sent to be a good guy on the farm.
Meh.

It seems the competition in camp was great, but the players still played small against the Flames, who really were the first NHL team they faced.

I think we’ll find out in a real hurry the effectiveness of the lineup. Again, I’m thinking it’s a lottery year, which is to be expected I guess, but some bigger, meaner players who can play would have been nice too.
