That's only 3 weeks away! :spin:

[Stormbringer]

(sings to the tune of a popular 80's song) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...baby, I can't wait! :D :spin:

[Ashleygirl]

I'm applying for my time off from work right now...8/4 @ 3:00. Works for me!

[lvscolencanes]

Wow, not too bad, I thought it was alot further away! YAY!!!

[hyena]

*sigh* you just made my day!

:D

i can't freaking wait!!!! :spin:

[Jeff O Rocks]

oh.......my.........gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Where is that thudding smiley???????????? :crazy: :eek: :D

[Shell]

Guyute burst the bubble a lil bit when I told him. He reminded me that it is actually training camp and may not be open. I sure hope we can go! Anybody remember from last year?

[Ashleygirl]

Just called the RecZone and they told me it looked like the practice was open to the public, but recommend I call back on that day to confirm the time, etc. Guess I'll just have to mosey on down there on August 4 and find out for myself!!

[Shell]

Excellent Ashley, thanks!! I have a feeling lots of peeps will be there regardless if it is open or closed ;) I'll go on the 3rd for sure.

[Lady J]

YAY! I LOVE YOU SHELL!

[Jeff O Rocks]

Excellent Ashley, thanks!! I have a feeling lots of peeps will be there regardless if it is open or closed ;) I'll go on the 3rd for sure.

I can see it now........drooling, snarling, fogging up the glass........and that is before they even come out on the ice!! :laugh: ;) How in the world did we all make it without them?? :sad:

[hyena]

speaking of the RecZone, are the renovations completely done now? (sorry i've been out of the loop on this if it's already been discussed) could kat or somebody who goes there clue us in as to differences from last season?

this is need-to-know info for us potential glass-foggers and picture-takers!

:D

Will this work, Mona? ;)

http://www.smilies.org/basesmilies3/1053177389.gif

That'll be all of us when we see our boys on the ice again! It's just around the corner! Thanks for finding the schedule, Shell! :)

[talkingcanes]

I read over at FanHome that official team practices aren't allowed until September and this is probably a lot of the baby Canes getting in shape. Not that that's a bad thing, but there doesn't appear to be any "real" practices until September 14 IIRC from that post. Apparently the RecZone schedules the ice to be available for them if they choose to use it on those days.

[Jeff O Rocks]

[CzechIt]

I have come out of my hibernation. Summer months drain me, need the ice to feel alive. Anyway, to the scheledule... did anyone notice that aug 3 week practice is only one hour. The following week it is two hours. Are they expecting more people the second week?

:roll:

[Lady J]

No, I think the one hour practice is more of a mercy related function ~ after months of no hockey, we need to be eased back into it lest our heads explode from joy of it all. Two hours the first time out would just be too much. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/wink.gif

[CzechIt]

could it be for the rookie tourny?

[Jeff O Rocks]

Yes Ms. J...that could be true....what a mess to clean up if all our heads explode...all at the same time! :crazy: :D ;)

[hyena]

hmm. an hour is fine. i can deal with an hour. just a few players and not the whole team? i can deal with that too. ;)

*sigh*

any canes practice is better than no practice at all...... :beatup:

I'm pretty certain that off-ice conditioning will be taking place as well. I'm sure they'll be doing *something* for more than 1 hour. Even kids train/condition longer than that.

Of course, unless they are going to let people into the weight room - I suppose the don't have to publish that part. ;)

[Shell]

speaking of conditioning, think Brendl will show up in shape or out of shape? He must be getting the hint?

My guess is out http://wemissjerry.org/smiles/disgust.gif

[talkingcanes]

I read a post over on the N&O boards by someone who says he/she has seen Brendl in his/her work place. They didn't say what type of work due to privacy policies. That person said he was in fantastic shape and looked as if he had been working out hard all summer. Hope they are telling the truth! It would be great to see what a fit and healthy Brendl can bring to this team.

[Shell]

That would be excellent!! Thanks for the ray of light heh

[Jeff O Rocks]

Of course, unless they are going to let people into the weight room - I suppose the don't have to publish that part. ;)

Where is that devil with the eyebrows??? :D

[Guyute]

well, Brendl hasn't ever been given the benefit of the doubt before, so I don't see why anyone would think differently this year.

I like the kid a lot. great hands. if he increases his mobility, he's going to be a serious threat. hope he gets a chance. :roll:

[nccanes]

From Today's N&O:

FINISHING TOUCHES: The Canes expect their new home at the RecZone in Raleigh to be ready for their prospect conditioning camp Aug. 2-7.

"The key rooms will be done then, and 10 days after that, everything else should be complete," Karmanos said. "The goal was to have it by Aug. 1, and it looks like we're going to come very close."

The Canes remodeled existing space at their practice rink on Hodges Street to create a 5,000-square-foot locker-room complex. Veterans will have ice time there for voluntary workouts beginning Aug. 11.

[Jeff O Rocks]

Thanks for posting Eileen...I saw that and I was like woo hoo!! If it is volunteer time, that means they will be there anytime they wanna be...no set schedule!! hmmmmmmmmmmmm??? Are you guys planning on going to see the youngins if they will let us in??

Canes on the ice..what a great thought! :spin:

[nccanes]

I'd love to get a glimpse of Eric Staal (among others), so expect I'll try to get over there. I've seen posting on other team's mbs and it appears they allowed spectators at the prospect camp.

Anyway, it will depend on the time - didn't someone say that it was afternoons?

[Ashleygirl]

I'll be there on August 3 for kicks and giggles - I hope at least one player shows up to skate!!

[Stormbringer]

Anyway, it will depend on the time - didn't someone say that it was afternoons?

Yes, unless it's changed, the first practice, which will be on August 3rd, will start around 3:00 pm.

[CzechIt]

Any idea who might show up for that practice? Isn't there a rookie tournament going on at that time? :cool:

[puckin_A]

well, Brendl hasn't ever been given the benefit of the doubt before, so I don't see why anyone would think differently this year.

I like the kid a lot. great hands. if he increases his mobility, he's going to be a serious threat. hope he gets a chance. :roll:

I keep forgetting about Brendl!! and I agree. I hope he comes out on fire
this season.

Me too.....He was out as soon as he got here pretty much, so I am sure lots of folks will see #55 and say..who the heck is that?? :roll: (btw, I did get his number right didn't I??) :D

i assume it's still on. hell yeah, i'm going to be there. a bunch of people are going, as far as i know. there's a little more talk about it on the "prospect camp" thread (http://www.letsgocanes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1008), though, and that's where the reports will probably be posted. :D

[SouthernHockeyChick]

I'm goin'! Make sure you introduce yourself if you're there caveman! Just running around saying "Hi! I'm cavemen!" Don't worry, only the weird people who don't post here will think you are weird. ;)

Seriously, you can walk around asking the people that appear to be in groups and know everyone if they post at LGC because a bunch of us will be there, I think.

[Stormbringer]

So... uh... is this still on and is anybody going to be there?

Yep, I shall be there, and not too hard to spot in my mask (Man, I've missed putting that on... :)), adorned in my brand new jersey with "Stormbringer" and a "10" and "C", which I picked up at The Eye this past Friday, and carrying a silver toy hockey stick. I'll probably try to get a place by the glass like I always do, but will be content with a front bleacher... :) Hope to see most, if not all of you there! :spin:

[Vrbata19]

Well folks, please tell.. how was it?

[Stormbringer]

Feel free to take a peek at these Vrbata... :)

(as well as in the ladies thread)

[hyena]

just bumping this up -- anybody going to the practice tomorrow?

10:00 - 12:00 at the RecZone. :D

[Ashleygirl]

I plan on going out about 10:30 to see what's up. Hopefully it will be worth the drive over!! Will anyone else be there tomorrow?

[Jeff O Rocks]

Is the whole team supposed to be there...just not in an organized fashion? :roll:

[Ashleygirl]

From what I was told, it's just that the rink is available to them and not an organized practice. I'll find out tomorrow I guess - I would think a few of them would like to get on the ice?

[Stormbringer]

Basically, practices from tomorrow through September 11th are voluntary for the Canes, meaning that you may or may not see various Canes on the ice.

Unless I hear about a lot of Canes out there at the RecZone, I'm not sure that I will attend any practices until September 12th. But, I might change my mind based on reports I read here and elsewhere from anyone who does go. :)

[Lady J]

Well, Ashleygirl, be sure to give Jess plenty of birthday kisses for us. :kiss:

Is the Rec practice schedule posted at the website? I should just go look, but I'm feeling indulgent of my ignorance at the moment. Besides, everyone here is so well- informed. :vamp:

[Ashleygirl]

Just got back from the Reczone Practice, so here's the lowdown...Francis, Brindy, K Adams, Cole, Wallin, Daniels were on the ice I beleive that Nasituk (sp?) and Bubba were in goal. Brindy and Francis were working pretty hard, the rest just shot at the goal the whole time. It was pretty much over by 11:00 which a little sitting a chatting before they left the ice at 11:20. News 14 was filming. Small crowd today, but glad I went.

[Jeff O Rocks]

Thanks for the report AG...I am off today..if I had known that many of the guys would show..I would have gone..oh well!! :sad:

[nccanes]

I was there briefly (saw you AshleyGirl when you spoke to the camera guy about not ratting you out to your employer! ;), but didn't get a chance to say hello).

Actually it was DesRochers in the goal (along with Bubba).

Friesen observed. Very low key. Ronnie and JD didn't wear helmets. Ronnie didn't even have shoulder pads on .

The players used the new locker room entrance to/from the ice (and there was rope at the end of the bleachers). Hyena was there so she may know if any of them chose to walk thru the lobby or not when exiting the building.

[hyena]

I beleive that Nasituk (sp?) and Bubba were in goal.
nah, it was Patty D and Bubba. (girl, you should have found me, i had your poster in my car!)

short practice. the whole first 45 minutes was just skating. oh my it was so good to see brindy out there. (and erik too of course, but he was there last week...). :spin:

all the players left by the (new?) outside entrance...the small group of fans who were still there were all waiting outside by those benches in front. everybody stopped and signed except for ronnie (but he was the first to leave so there weren't many people outside then). i hate to think what's gonna happen when more players start coming and more fans start trying to get autographs -- surely it isn't easier on them (meaning the RecZone and the players) to have a crowd outside the front door instead of inside the lobby.... :roll:

[Stormbringer]

Thanks for the reports everyone...it's just one practice so far, but if a good number of the practices between now and September 12 end up like today's (in terms of the number of Canes coming), I may have to come to a practice or two... Again, thanks. :)

[Ashleygirl]

Thanks for the goalie correction. I couldn't see them very well and PDR just didn't look tall enough, so we didn't think it was him! Brindy sure looked good - I loved the jump in his step!!

[Shell]

*eagerly awaiting hyena's Brindy pics!* ;)

[Jeff O Rocks]

Dang wish I had gone.. :cry:

Guess it is time for this guy again!!

http://websmileys.bei.t-online.de/div288.gif << me and all the rest of you Caniacs!! :D

[Jeff O Rocks]

Craigadamstheman, rons#1 and myself took in 45 minutes of practice today..the guys were skating with parachutes on......backwards and forwards...in attendance was:

O :crazy: :eek: :D
Ronnie, Brindy, Kevyn A, Ziggy, Malec, Erik, Pat D., JD, one new guy..wasn't sure..think it was Joey, Nicky....and I hope I didn't leave anyone out. There were all very tanned and looked very well rested...

Great to see em!! :spin:

[Stormbringer]

I bet it was...especially O in your case, eh Mona? :D ;)

Come on Amanda...don't resist!! ;) http://websmileys.bei.t-online.de/div288.gif

[rons#1fan]

On a serious note. If anyone has the hockey withdrawals, I highly recommend you take in a practice. I've been lying pretty low this off season but once I got in there and saw Rod, Erik back on the ice, and looking exceptionally fit - well it just made my day. I kid like the rest of you about how fine our hockey team looks, but just seeing them out there, getting ready for a really promising season, well in simple words, I truly love the game.

[hyena]

grr....i told myself that i wasn't going to go to any more this week. must.......resist.............

Great, great photo of Ronnie with the parachute in today's (Wed.) sports section. It's very big, the main center photo and travels down beneath the fold.

Here's the mini version from the N&O.com.

Made me smile big time. I'd recommend getting the real paper - Ronnie's expression is great!

He looked like he was truly happy to be out there on the ice...he was barking commands to the youngin's!! :D ;)

[rons#1fan]

Just picked up my morning paper! Whooo Hoooo ! I told you he was looking good...he is ready to go ! Just looking at that photo gives me more confidence that we are going to have some season ! My goodness he looks like he's in his 20's ! I am so psyched for this season to start !

[talkingcanes]

Great picture of Ronnie. Gives me hope when I see someone in my age range doing that well ;)

[Jeff O Rocks]

Got back from practice...several of us were represented there..proudly I might add!! :D The only new Cane on the ice from yesterday was Hilly..and he looked a little rusty! ;) They didn't have their parachutes on but they were working the legs and firing the puck in the net...

I can't say it enough....so good to see Canes on the ice!! :spin:

hyena was there with her trusty camera!! :spin:

[Stormbringer]

Cool...thanks for the report Mona! :)

[nccanes]

The rundown on attendance in case people care:

Francis
O'Neill
Brind'Amour
Cole
KAdams
Daniels
Zigomanis

Wallin
Boughner
Hill
Malec

DesRochers
"Bubba"

Jeff Daniels was very clearly running the practice/drills.

They played 4 on 4 scrimmages for quite a long bit after the drills. Fun to watch.

The signing of Cole!!!:D No wonder JR and JK were there and looking happy. A number of TV cameras there too.

[Shell]

What were your first impressions of Boughner?? :)

[Jeff O Rocks]

What were your first impressions of Boughner?? :)

I thought he had good speed ...is not too big a guy..maybe the size of Nicky....he is very serious..they all were..

[nccanes]

What were your first impressions of Boughner?? :)

Um. He's got some nice chin hair. ;)

No seriously (well actually the chin hair did suit him), he seemed to be working hard, tied up some sticks, etc., and didn't fall down as much as Hill, lol (actually he didn't fall down at all). Ronnie did the customary shoot the bull by the boards with him at breaks. Seemed low key.

He had 8 on his helmet - dunno if that means that'll be his number or not though.

[Shell]

Thanks guys...

and LOL about the chin hair.. Mona just told me the same thing via PM... must be some good hair LOL

hhmmm, a defenseman who can score? He Cannot be #8!!!

wow, just realized that Marty Murray is listed at 5'9", 180.. he must be teeny tiny if Vrbata is listed at 6'1", 190!!

[Jeff O Rocks]

If Radim is 6'1" and 190 lbs., I am the same height and I weigh more..and oh yeah, I will marry O and have 10 kids!! LMAO :laugh:

[hyena]

wow, i was about to die during those 4-on-4's today. too much like a real game. i had to contain myself from cheering when they scored (i was pulling for the white team, haha). they were working hard, too. already brindy and erik looked sharp together. :D

because i was watching the white team so hard i didn't really see much of boughner.... he did stop to sign afterwards and he seems to be a nice guy. :cool:

Of course you were cheering for the white team with #17 on it.. :D ;)

It is hard to contain your excitement...when I went to the Rookie Conditioning Camp, when I saw the jerseys, I wanted to applaud when they came out on the ice..but since no one else did, I didn't either! :roll:

[SouthernHockeyChick]

I was HIGHLY impressed with Boughner. It was only and hour and a half of observation but I'm excited about this guy. I thought he looked quite skilled. I also have a Ladies Thread sorta comment to make about him..... ;)

Seriously though, he seems to have great positioning, is fast enough and looks big enough in his gear to lay some mean hits. Just what we needed! :spin:

[nccanes]

wow, just realized that Marty Murray is listed at 5'9", 180..

OMG. That's TLT-sized! (Martin St. Louis) ;). In fact, according to team rosters, TLT has 1 pound on MM. :laugh:

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Those measurements HAVE to be without gear....surely! If it's the same as TLT it HAS to be.

Amanda and I saw a guy come out of the locker room today that we did not recognize for sure. I know what Murray looks like and I didn't *think* it was him....the guy's hair was pretty light. Wait, I just looked at his pic again and I think that was him. Cool. He seemed very nice! And I didn't notice him being tiny or anything.

[hyena]

nobody new at practice today. they did a lot of skating and then more 4-on-4. this time the red team won. :D if someone goes tomorrow, please give a report.

here is a pic from yesterday...SHC took it actually, hanging my camera over the glass. clear RecZone pics are hard to come by so i'm posting this even though nothing exciting is happening. :D
http://eyecandy.electrichyena.com/hyena/08_13_03_group1.jpg

just for kicks i checked the RecZone's schedule for september and for some of the days during Training Camp, they have two practices a day scheduled...is this normal? just curious.

[Jeff O Rocks]

this even though nothing exciting is happening. :D

Something exciting is happening...Canes ARE on the ice! ! :D ;)

I have never seen two practices a day..hmmmm??

If I go tomorrow, I will give you a report! ;)

[Stormbringer]

Regarding there being two practices in one day, I would guess that one practice is for the veterans, while the other is for the rookies/Lowell dudes. Other than that, I'm really not sure why there are two practices... :)

I think it is something like that. At the very least, it splits up quite a large group of players. That ice surface is crowded enough with 23 in the regular season.

[SouthernHockeyChick]

Two practices? Oh lord, they'll have to start charging me RENT at the RecZone! :roll:

You know SHC and I are in so many places, we can't keep em straight!! :p ;)

ron's#1 and I went to practice...not a big crowd. All the guys were there from yesterday except O :sad: , but Marty Murray was there. He is a little fella. They did a lot of drills..my favorite was the two stick "horse and cart" thing. And I also liked Nicky throwing that huge tire around..he acted like it was nothing!! :D Lots of upper body strength training and conditioning today!! Once again...just great to see Canes on the ice!

They were the same drills....they had sticks on the ice....a trainer standing on the net as a Cane pushed and pulled it....a medicine ball, a tire :D , cones for skating back and forth and the stick pulls...it was very interesting watching them..

Murray looked very small!! :D I can't think who he was paired with...it was Erik and Brindy; Ronnie and JD; Nicky and Malic; maybe it was Ziggy..... :roll: He seemed to have good speed. I didn't really see him take any shots on goal...they really didn't practice that before I left!!
