Thread: Training Camp Day 2

Hey all,

To start the day off Garon, Labarbera, Fukufuji, Munce, and Brust were doing goalie drills. Then Team Goring and Murphy came on and ran drills. I liked the way MC ran practice - he's not afraid to get in the face of players that are slacking off. On one particular play Pushy tried to be fancy and didn't get a shot off - he kind of was slow getting back until MC started banging his stick in his face to wake him up. Hopefully MC can get this squad together and we'll be in good form when the season starts.

Onto scrimmage - here were the lines (I'm not sure which team was Goring and which was Murphy, so I'll just classify them based on the jerseys they wore)

Black
Forwards
O'Sully-Conroy-Cammy
Moulson-Belanger-Kanko (O'Sully played a few shifts with this line too)
Cowan-Lewis-Meckler
McLaren-Korchinski-Roussin
D-Lines
Miller-Mormina
Sopel-Harrold
Schmidt-?(I forget who)
Goalies
Garon (1st game), Munce (2nd game)


White
Forwards
Zeiler-Kopitar-Hogeboom (Avery played a few shifts with this line)
Frolov-Kopitar/Avery-Henderson
Ivanans-Kostopoulos-Murphy
Clarke-Avery-Jackman (Kopitar played with this line a lil)
D-Lines
Blake-Ryan
Gleason-Werner
Dallman-Greenan
Goalies
Labarbera (1st game), Brust (2nd game)

1st game was all black - I think Cammy scored the 1st goal, I'm not positive since I couldn't see his side too clearly from where I sat. O'Sully got an empty netter at the end. Garon made a sweet save off Kopitar who was alone in front. Frolov also could have had a breakaway but he wasn't paying attention and let the puck slip by him. Black won game 1 2-0.

The 2nd game ended in a 2-2 tie. Murphy (I'm pretty sure it was him - either him or TK, again my vision wasn't the best) poked it in off a rebound for Black. Also for black, Henderson hit a slapshot right past Brust. Roussin scored 2 consecutive goals for the White.

After that I watched Team Berry (Dustin Brown, Army, Pushy, Willsie, Thornton, Matti, Lubo, Cloutier, Bernier etc) do their drills. I had to leave when they started skating drills.

Other random notes:
-Dustin Brown and Deano were laughing it up chatting with each other before the practice, so that should relieve anyone who's still worried about him not being signed

-Cloutier surrendered quite a few goals during practices - not looking forward to seeing him in goal this year

-Bernier looked solid during drills. Can't wait to see how talented this guy is in a few years.

If anyone who was there has more thoughts, please post them

Thanks for the update.
I can not wait till I go tomorrow!
