Gah! I had almost managed to purge my memory of Susan O’Malley. Curse you for putting the thought of that soulless gutter tramp back in there!

I keed, I keed.

Good rundown. I also noticed that scrum between Osala and Hunt and it did indeed warm my heart. My money’s on them for “most likely to drop the gloves before the week is over.”

Bouchard also caught me by surprise. He likes to crash the low slot pretty hard and I’d love to see him do exactly that at the Phone Booth someday. He had a lot of hustle and looks like he’s come a long way.

I hadn’t planned on going today, but I don’t think I can resist now that I’ve had a taste. Thank God for a job with flex scheduling.

Oskar Osala is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing prospects we have. Nice mix of everything in a perfect sized hockey playing body. Can’t wait to see how he’s progressed since training camp last season.

Thanks much for the recap. Keep em coming. I’ll be out there Friday.

Good stuff. Glad to hear Osala brought the sandpaper to rookie camp.

Sounds like Perreault was on his horse with confidence too, I like the sounds of him being noticable in that atmosphere/competition. He’s a special player, it bodes very well for the future is he’s able to play his game is with this talented crowd of prospects.

Bouchard sounds like he didn’t dissapoint either, he’ll have to learn to let the puck rip himself a little more than he might otherwise be use to with Backstrom as his centre. Both are highly intelligent hockey players so I really hope they leave them together and let those two learn how each others game.

I’m jealous of all who attended, thanks for the recap Empty.
