Samson's Flow Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 I'm planning to head down with a few co-workers for todays 1pm practice. We will see how everything looks and report back Quote
inkman Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 https://sabresmedia.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/2015-16-development-camp-roster.pdf roster. The D prospects haven't been this thin in a long time. It's McCabe and a bunch of garbage. Quote
Hoss Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I'm here. I'll give the play by play. Just kidding. If you're looking for me I'm sitting in the row behind Brian Duff (behind the bench on one of the blue lines). Edited July 6, 2015 by Hoss Quote

Notes/highlights for those of us not going would be greatly appreciated if possible Quote
X. Benedict Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Eichel 41 Wow. He went for the prime number. Quote
Hoss Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Eichel's first shot with a goalie in net was a quick wrister over the blocker side shoulder. Everything looks effortless for him out there. Others you can tell are really digging in, but it's all smooth for Jack. Stephens has fallen down twice. Looks like he's still adjusting to the ice. Edited July 6, 2015 by Hoss Quote
Hoss Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) How's Samson?Not out there yet. Only Group 1 out there. On Guhle - haven't even noticed him yet. Estephan broke a stick. Of the defense - Florentino looks VERY smooth. I am thoroughly enjoying watching him go through drills. They've got a 78 - Josh Chapman of Sarnia who is really really working it but skating backwards is a real struggle for him. Edited July 6, 2015 by Hoss Quote
shrader Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 So they do it a bit different now and don't bring all the ELC guys anymore, huh? I guess Ristolainen and Zemgus won't have to go the Ennis route and have to go to about 85 of these camps over the course of their careers. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 So they do it a bit different now and don't bring all the ELC guys anymore, huh? I guess Ristolainen and Zemgus won't have to go the Ennis route and have to go to about 85 of these camps over the course of their careers. Yeah it appears to be only the guys who have yet to play in the NHL. The first group (1pm-2pm) seemed to be the younger guys with most of the newly drafted guys. The second group (coming on now) look to be the second year/rochester guys like Reinhart, McCabe etc. Eichel's first shot with a goalie in net was a quick wrister over the blocker side shoulder. Everything looks effortless for him out there. Others you can tell are really digging in, but it's all smooth for Jack. Stephens has fallen down twice. Looks like he's still adjusting to the ice. Eichel's passing was another thing for me, he one touched basically every pass and had a few nice backhand saucers that really stood out. The first shot was a showcase of his skill but he probably skated at half speed just so the rest of the guys could keep up. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 How does Reinhart look? I left at 2. A guy has to work some of the day y'kno? Maybe Hoss can help us out? Quote

Imagine what this board would have been like at the beginning of the 2013-14 season had we read this tweet from the future. *drools Quote

Huckleberry Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Im interested in Sean Malone, he is one of our prospects i think can make the team in a few years. I think I will get banned if I post that Gif go for it :D Quote
shrader Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Im interested in Sean Malone, he is one of our prospects i think can make the team in a few years. Just remember that he will finish his full four years at Harvard. Short of the very rare occasion, you don't pay to go to school there and not see it through. Quote
LabattBlue Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I will provide the odd observations(not all on ice)... - The entire 100 level was open with the exception of center ice section behind penalty box for sabres staff. - Passed Bylsma before scrimmage started. Had a big smile on his face. - Eichel is smooth(big surprise there). - Hurley who was not at rookie camp last season, was listed as part of second group, but I didn't see him(I only stayed for about 30 min of second group) - I noticed Estefan make a couple of great shots and equally bad efforts. LOL - I know this is an awful thing to say, but when watching Fasching, all I think about is Taylor Pyatt. Sorry. - Got wanded by security prior to being admitted. Seriously? For a rookie practice. PS Their wands suck. I had keys, coins and my phone in my pocket and no alarm. - Had to be 20-25 staff in Sabres section. The only guys I could pick out from across the ice were Bylsma and Murray. - 25% off a lot of Sabres gear...hats, tshirts, etc... - Might go tomorrow or Wednesday. Can't make scrimmage or 3 on 3, so this will be my fix until September. Edited July 6, 2015 by LabattBlue Quote
WildCard Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks for the observations LB. On the wands: they are terrible. For almost every venue I go to, I can sneak 2 tall-boys into my socks and save myself $20. Quote
Eleven Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 How does Reinhart look? Paul Hamilton was very impressed, FWIW. Quote
wjag Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 Just remember that he will finish his full four years at Harvard. Short of the very rare occasion, you don't pay to go to school there and not see it through. You also don't pay to go to school there, by and large. Quote
LabattBlue Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 One other funny thing... They were running a drill and instead of using the orange cones, the coaches placed their gloves on the ice to act as the pylons. Quote
Mustache of God Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 - Got wanded by security prior to being admitted. Seriously? For a rookie practice. PS Their wands suck. I had keys, coins and my phone in my pocket and no alarm. Those wands ain't looking for spare change, they're they're to ensure no nutjobs bring in any guns into the arena. Could you imagine Eichel being assassinated during the prospect camp by some crazed self proclaimed #1 McDavid fanboy? Quote
