  1. http://video.devils.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=745&id=832496〈=en Highlights from the game. Enjoy.
  2. Impressions from the Event: First it was well run again. They had music and Dyno was wondering around talking to people. Hynes was up just walking around for a bit also at the intermission, chatting with some fans and other Devils staff. Saw some of the rest of the staff as well. Had a little goal horn and song each time these guys scored. Crowd was good everyone cheered for every goal it was a good event. So i was surprised also to see the white team win but hey its hockey you never know. Im not going to give something on each player. If i dont talk about someone you want to know about ask me and ill do my best to answer. Red team impressions: - Blackwood - got lite up! Not question about it. He is better then he showed i believe. They were picking corners on him a lot. Kerfoot made him look bad on a break during 3v3. - Severson - Clearly the best player on the ice. His poise and D were better then everyone. Really nice goal he got to. Top self over the blocker from the circle. - Zacha - Had a much much better showing today. He made some nice passes, he had great speed through the zones, was much more physical this time around. He also found Severson for his goal. He had a nice break away but someone was offsides so he never got a chance. Also his defensive game is much better then i imagined. He made a bunch of nice stick check plays, he does a good job of finding the passing lanes. He took a huge slap shot that nearly took Jacobs leg off, he was hurting. - Santini - Looked really good i thought. He made a bunch of good d plays. Took a couple of guys to the boards to wash them out. Event threw a hip check at center ice. He also made a great pass from the goal line up to center ice and hit the forward in stride. He looked very good. - Coleman - I would say he might have been the best forward on the ice. He was physical, strong on the boards. Had a couple nice shots and passes that created shots. He did very well. I would be shocked if he doesnt push for a roster spot in the fall. - Kujawinski - With Coleman might have been the best forward on the ice. He was great on the forecheck when he got in there. He showed a lot of speed and skill along the boards. Played very good defense, hard shot. I was impressed with him today for sure. - Colton White - I was really impressed with him. He has great mobility, a good first pass, isnt scared to take the puck up the ice himself if he needs to. He seemed to always be in a good position to defend incoming forwards. Smart with his passes as well. This kid might be a nice find. - Tyler Kelleher - The only reason im talking about him is because he was great at the 3v3. Today not so much, the kid was getting tossed all over the ice and couldnt make things happen at all. I see why he was never drafted. Alright on to the White team: - Appleby - He looked much better today. Made some nice saves was square to the puck and wasnt out of position to often. - Raman Hrabarenka - He had a nice goal from the point, he also had some physical play. - Sergey Kalinin - He didnt show anything in the first. He did however show something in the second. He was much more impressive. He played more physical he looked better when he had the puck and did a good job in the faceoff circle when he was there. He had a break away he was tripped on but ended up in a goal so he never got to take a shot. He did seem to go for the front of the net a lot. - John Quenneville - He looked good, good skater, had a nice couple of players but i didnt notice to much he did bad. - J.D. Dudek - He had some nice little players. Clearly a playmaker and goos skater. I think after a little college time he will be pretty good. - Alex Kerfoot - Has really good hands, made Blackwood look silly 2 times. Other then that didnt see to much during the game from him. - Miles Wood - Didnt see much in the first, but the second he was much better. He was more physical, we had part of the first goal because he was right in Blackwoods face digging for the rebound. He had a couple really nice passes that lead to good shots. I think he is about as big as Santini. - Joshua Jacobs - He played well couple of really great D plays. Got it stick out on a 2-1 and prevented a goal most likely. He also took a shot off the leg from Zacha, it clearly hurt him bad. Well i didnt mention everyone but i got a large group of them. If you want any information on anyone else let me know and i will do my best to let you know what i saw.
  3. Not sure they will do the same thing, but for the 3v3 when you came in they gave you a roster with the teams and numbers to help you keep track of everything. I would guess they would do the same thing for both. One massive advantage is that during the 3v3 they all played in practice jerseys, with no numbers. The only numbers were on their helmets. Which made it pretty hard to see at times. Today i would guess they will be in home and away jerseys with names and big numbers making it much easier.
  4. Im sorry i didnt come over here and post, that first response from Devil X is me over on HFBoards. I should have posted it here as well. Santini didnt really do that much at the 3v3. In those situations they clearly favor smaller faster players. This bigger more physical players showed some skill but you can see being able to play on a full sheet of ice will work better for them. Im going to the scrimmage on Saturday I'll make sure to come and post some thoughts on the players after that as well. He seemed to want to pass a lot during the 3v3. I didnt see him shoot the puck once, very odd for someone like him. I did see him throw a couple of shoulders and knocked someone on their ass once. He did have a slight physical aspect to his game during the 3v3 I didnt really see that much before. Yea, your right. I mean the best players in the 3v3 were pretty much unknown forwards and Blackwood. But its good to get your eyes on these guys we dont normally see. If gives you a better understanding of their size, skating ability, shot, and things like that. As an example, Miles Wood is much bigger then people realize, he has good speed and strength. A hard shot and was in the middle of a lot of his teams chances. I was impressed by him and what he was bring out there. Its something i wouldnt have known if i didnt get the chance to see him myself.
