I think Colby Armstrong tweeted yesterday he could only do 1.5 bench presses

go leafs go

any projectile vomiting yet?

Always a highlight, but I haven't seen or heard anything yet. You gotta know the bucket is always right next to the bike.

Tryouts for the Abbotsford Flyers, and Langley whatever-they-were-called (Jr B) used to start things off with a bag skate, and not stop until someone puked. That person would be cut, and then the camp would be officially underway.

BlobMac said RNH did 6 and Blob called it a "strong showing"

Huberdeau managed to bench 150 pounds twice and called it a day

At this point, Mark NcNeill leads all prospects with 13 on bench press (150 lbs). Oleksiak next at 12. RNH had strong showing with 6.
as jstew mentioned, Huberdeau had 2
- RNH has 5th best VO2 so far (don't know out of how many)

Oleksiak is a beast. Wingspan barely fit on the meter, and he almost took down the vertical jump tower.

In Huberdeau's defense, he had to bench press Blob McKenzie...

Most scouts agree: Gabriel Landeskog and Adam Larsson are the two prospects most physically capable of playing in NHL right now.

Any word on Sean Couturier? I'm hoping/assuming he'll be there at 4. Also wouldn't mind Landeskog falling to us but I doubt it.

Its been well-documented that Huberdeau's main weakness at this time is his strength. He needs to mature physically before he's likely be NHL ready. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen over the summer since I hope to see him back in Junior for at least 1 more year.

Couturier has got a big frame but still needs lots of work to fill it out. Potential is there, but needs to start cracking some iron.

I hope Lou takes Couturier because I DON'T want the Isles too. I'm concerned about his skating.

I like him because he's a smart player, and the Devils are not a run and gun team so speed isn't too much of a concern for me. Really I'll be happy with just about anybody we take.

Holy Biceps Batman!

Hello Gabriel...how you dooooin'?

 

[pixburgher66]

Anyone have the draft order yet? I assume it's basically set, minus the whole Nucks/B's flipflop.

 

[pixburgher66]

On Landeskog:
Conte was impressed by Landeskog’s maturity, which I also noticed when I first talked to him on Thursday.

“I wanted to tell him my problems,” Conte said.

Hahahah

Founnnnd it, funny what a nice google search can do. And I LIKE the way this guy thinks! I really liked what I saw from Jurco in the Memorial Cup. And hey, we have a nice working relationship with St. John.
