Practice today (what we saw of it) was more of the same, which is kind of what practice is about anyway. The coach is still pushing the team, and things seem to be getting faster every day. A lot more banging around the boards and pucks flying everywhere. One of them hit the glass right in front of us, and we probably would have been startled if we hadn't been looking through the viewfinder of our camera at the time.
The team ran plays repetitively, and if they did them wrong, the coach made them do it again. They worked power play/shorthanded configurations and did a lot of drills to get the puck down the ice. The white jersey line was looking pretty good. We like the combination of Kinasewich and Perry. We aren't sure who the other guy was on the line. We suspect he may have been switched up a few times.
We noticed a green practice jersey missing today. (Three full lines, plus 2/3 of green - grey line had to fill in.) Turns out that Moises Gutierrez was released from the team. Too many penalties, we think. We looked for new guy Dylan Hunter, but couldn't pick him out. If he practiced, we saw him though. No news of anyone else joining from Abbotsford yet, but in the first broadcast of Grizzlies Live last night it was hinted that the team would be getting a new player on Friday. The team's last training camp day is Thursday, so we won't get to see whoever it is in action until the season starts. We have mixed feelings about that.
We apparently took a lot of pictures because our camera told us the memory card was full. We don't know if we got anything good or not. We'll check tonight and post whatever looks good. If nothing looks good, we'll just post a few crappy things. We never claimed to be good with a camera.
First game of the season is right around the corner.
Go Grizzlies!
