Maple Leafs Roster Beginning to Take Shape

by pbadmin

With less than a week to go before NHL teams must submit protected lists for the annual NHL Waiver Draft, Toronto’s training camp roster has been pared down to 34 players. And except for a few mild surprises, this current batch of players bears a striking resemblance to the group that took Pat Quinn to the Eastern Conference Finals in his first year as coach of the Maple Leafs.

In goal, Curtis Joseph had the starting job locked up before camp even started, and Glenn Healy was all but guaranteed the job as backup to the man they call Cujo. Joseph has seen limited action, but has looked strong, stopping 30 shots from his former Edmonton teammates for a 4-2 victory on September 14th.

During the off-season, Healy underwent a rigorous training program and in his most recent pre-season game on September 17th, he dazzled by stopping three breakaways and was by all accounts the difference in the game.

Off-season acquisition Jim Waite has been solid in camp, but will start the season in St. John’s of the AHL, the Leafs top farm team, where he is expected to receive the brunt of the work. Waite signed a two-year deal with Toronto in the off-season, a two-way deal for this season and a one-way deal for next season. With Healy expected to retire next summer, Waite is the early favourite to back up Curtis Joseph for the 2000-2001 season.

Junior Prospects Off to Hot Start

With most of the attention these days focusing on which players will stick with the big club, several Islanders prospects have started off their seasons in various leagues on a tear. In the Quebec league sniper Juraj Kolnik opened up with a goal and 6 pts in his first two games then added a hatrick to raise his totals to 4 goals and 9 points in only 3 games. Meanwhile goaltender Frederik Brind’amour was named defensive player of the week posting a shutout along with a 1.33 GAA and a .944 save%. Skilled pivot Justin Mapletoft who won the praise of Butch Goring in camp opened his season with a two goal three point performance, carrying Red Deer to a 4-4 tie.

As reported by HF’s own Peter Westermark Mattias Weinhandl has been paired with the Sedin-twins in MoDo, and Weinhandl has 1 goals and 2 assists with a +4 after three games. That line, featuring perhaps the three most promising 1980-born Swedes, is one of the most interesting ones to watch for the Elitserien-crowds. As a rookie in the Eliteserien Weinhandl is sure to put up impressive numbers on that line, and may prove to be a huge steal in the third round.

Star Gazing – A View From Camp (Part 1)

by pbadmin
on

This month’s article will look at the ongoing happenings surrounding the Dallas Stars training camp. The focus will be on the progress of the Dallas youngsters, with my observations being based on local newspaper reports, and on my own observances.
Jamie Wright-LW

Has really reestablished himself throughout this years camp. Jamie has added seven pounds of muscle, and has increased his determination and focus. Also, his speed has seemed to fit into the Stars new puck possession attack as well. In one recent pre-season game I observed, Jamie was all over the ice. He was robbed twice from the slot, was throwing checks along the boards, fought for loose pucks, and was double shifted for much of the game. All of this is very encouraging, but at this point a roster spot is not at all guaranteed. He still must show a little more offensive touch in order to have a long term future with the club.

Pavel Patera-C/W

After coming over from the Czech Republic, Pavel has really found favor amongst the Stars coaching staff. This is due to the fact that his skating, vision, and passing are assets that the Dallas club has needed for sometime. Further more, the staff has elected to play Patera on the left side of Joe Nieuwendyk, a position that should become a rather nice fit for the rest of the season. If for some reason this pairing doesn’t work then look for Pavel to be the 3rd line center-man.

Tampa Bay Training Camp Report

by pbadmin
on

After all the personnel changes by the Lightning organization, I assumed the first couple of days of camp would be taken up with introductions. Between trades, signings, invitations, and every other conceivable means of acquiring players, the Tampa Bay training camp roster looked very little like last years. The Lightning had a horrible past two seasons, but they did have a core of good players. Injuries were also a problem for the Bolts. Rick Dudley, G.M. of the Lightning, did a good job of bringing in a lot of players. One of the biggest problems in the last couple of years in Tampa was depth. With having to hurry draftees into the lineup and no real minor league system to speak of, the team was not able to develop any depth within the organization.

Kootenay Ice: ICE CHIPS

by pbadmin
on

TWO MORE GONE…
Two more players gone was the news coming out of the Kootenay Ice office yesterday. This means that the Kootenay Ice is very close to setting the opening day roster. Because this is Junior Hockey, no roster has to be finalized until January 10th.
Forward Charlie Mattersdorfer, who had four goals during exhibition play, has been released back to the Fernie Ghostriders of the American West Hockey League. The other player is forward Jeremy Yablonski who announced his retirement from hockey due to personal reasons.

STILL IN CAMP…
Defenceman Steve McCarthy is still at NHL training camp. McCarthy is with the Chicago Blackhawks. He is expected to be in Cranbrook by October 1st when NHL rosters are completed.
THE WAITING GAME…
The Kootenay Ice are hopeful that defenceman David Tanabe will be coming to play in the system very shortly. Tanabe, 18, left the University of Wisconsin after one season where he had nine goals and 20 points in 33 games. Tanabe was selected 16th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 1999 draft. We certainly have our fingers crossed at this point, but it is in Carolina’s court right now.
CURRENT ROSTER…
FORWARDS: DEFENCEMEN:

Jason Jaffray Jarret Stoll
Trevor Johnson Jesse Ferguson
Mike Green Kyle Wanvig
Scott Roles Dean Arsene
Wade Burt Tyler Beechey
