I'm glad these guys get to skate for a few weeks,but I don't understand why these teams would just allow these guys to come back for a few weeks so they can get some practice in before heading off to their real job?
Mike Knuble is skating with the Griffins. Day 2 of training camp today.
I wonder if they'll have a stream for the scrimmage on Friday or the pre-season games during the weekend? Would be very cool to see them. And if anyone knows of any streams for regular season games, I'm sure many would like to watch those games.

About 40+ photos of training camp available on DRW facebook page
are there video streams for many Griffins games? If so, maybe we could set up GDTs for the Griffin games or something. Just something to spark some interest while this lockout mess is going on.

I watch them at redwingslive.net but you have to fill out an application type thing and get acceptance for there. Seems like the games may be on fox sports detroit this year though which will open up more streams.
I would be interested in that, I love watchin the AHL and following the prospects. This year will be really good with all the young guys coming in like Jurco and Sheahan
The goalie situation is pretty interesting, looking forward to seeing how they handle that. Overall, Jurco is probably the player I'm most excited about in GR this season.

I'm interested in getting a close look at him against men but I have trouble getting really excited for rookies cause they usually get **** on for ice time. That said, Jurco isnt like most rookies that have come along lately.
After Jurco, I'm excited to see how Sheahans power forward style game can translate to the NHL, and how he holds up to how nasty the AHL can be to a physical rookie.
The fourth line from last year will be guys to watch, Callahan and Aubry were 2 of the most fun guys to watch last year. I'm hoping the wings have a Gaustad in Aubry but time will tell
Going to a Griffins game on the 19th, pretty excited to watch the team Went to a Rochester-Scranton pre-season game last night and I enjoyed it.
AHL hockey can be a lot more entertaining then NHL hockey because its a lot of young guys trying to prove their worth. It also gets really rough most games and I enjoy that

Don't say I didn't warn you about this guy...he will NEVER be a power forward. Checking center, maybe. Power forward, no.
In a world where Franzen is a power forward, anybody can be one.
If Sheahan matches Franzen's developmental curve, we can expect him to be a PKer in 2017-18, and a power forward sometime in 2020.
This is me holding my breath waiting another 8 years for him to develop...he has so much development to do before he's even a viable 13th forward. No hands.

Paetsch - Smith
Evans - Almqvist
Lashoff - Nicastro
Mrazek
MacDonald
This is pretty much it I think. Although Brunner might not play in GR. MacDonald was looking for NHL action, but now that there's the lockout he'll be happy to stay in GR.
It's a solid forward lineup (even without Brunner). Defense, we'll have to wait and see. Don't know much about Evans or Paetsch.
Looking foward to seeing Mrazek much more. He was a boss at the WJC.
Looks like Brunner won't be coming to GR. Apparently he'll only come over if the NHL starts.
Do you know why? Money? Is the Swiss league that much better than the AHL? It can't be IT, he'd get the same in GR. He probably doesn't want to leave since he's tearing up the Swiss league right now
He originally had a contract with Zug for 2012-13, so he feels that he should fulfill that commitment while the NHL is locked out. I think he would come over if the NHL starts and either play in GR or Detroit. This accoring to an interview a while back.

The part about questioning his offensive potential is reasonable, the rest is obviously sarcastro hyberbole...but hyperbole nonetheless. Sheahan could easily be a very solid 3rd or 4th line center and have a very long NHL career. And it could start as soon as there is NHL hockey to be played.
I think he could benefit as much if not moreso than any DRW prospect with the lockout. Notre Dame was a less than ideal situation for Sheahan to develop. He'll never get a better opportunity than he will in GR to develop any semblance of a pulse as a top 6 forward.
Went to a Rochester-Scranton pre-season game last night and I enjoyed it.
