Hall isn't participating in Team Canada's camp and by way of Team Canada's team rules, that means he won't be making this year's WJC team. He'll, instead, be focusing all his attention on trying to be the savior of the Edmonton Oilers.

Meanwhile, Louis Leblanc, formerly of Harvard, has had a brilliant camp for Team Canada. Funny that he's getting to show off there now that he's not a member of Harvard. I'm sure that Brandon Pirri wouldn't fit in well there at all. :rolleyes:

Of course he wouldn't fit in well there, he's getting educated.

There was never any question as to which team D'Amigo would play for in the USA-RPI exhibition, none whatsoever. Why would he play for RPI if he's on the team? How would that make any rational sense whatsoever considering that the game is a tune-up for an international competition?

A little disappointed not to see D'Amigo play yesterday after making the trek to Lake Placid, but I did notice something interesting. He's listed at 5'11", 210 by USA Hockey, RPI had him at 5'11" 190 before the start of last season.

When D'Amigo was scratched alongside Jack Campbell, John Ramage, and Ryan Bourque, I wasn't too concerned. They all played last season, too. Then yesterday, he was scratched along with some guys who aren't necessarily shoo-ins for the roster and I kinda scratched my head at that one. Perhaps he's the biggest shoo-in on the roster and Allain doesn't need to see any more from him, or is there a problem here? The overall talent level in camp this year is even higher than it was last year, considering the gobs of 1st and 2nd rounder Americans in the draft this year. Who knows? One does get the feeling, considering that Allain is familiar with D'Amigo from the ECAC and that he's the highest returning scorer in the world to this competition, that the former might be the case.

EDIT: Co-highest returning scorer in the world, forgot that Taylor Hall, who also had 6 goals/6 assists last year, also has remaining eligibility.

This last scratch seems to say--something is up. Not sure what but something doesn't feel right with this last scratch.

He makes it. I don't think they would schedule a game at HFH if he wasn't going to be on team.

Just a thought, if he put on 20 pounds, might he have lost a step?
I am sure that he is already penciled in on the national team. Allain knows all he needs to know about JD'A.
Considering all the big hits he took last season, those extra pounds will come in handy when he retaliates. :D

...he doesn't appear to have lost a step...I took a video while he was on a PK, can't figure out how to upload it to this thread, but on this kill he went from putting one player through the boards after another, each time followed by the aprooving, "oohs & ahhs", from the crowd

Today is 9 August 2010. There are 60 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 8 October for the start of next season.

It surpised me also as did his overall lack of offensive output, but I still expect him to make the team.

You can't upload it directly to USCHO. You have to upload it to a website where you have space and then link that to a post here.

He only picked 2 out of 10 winners by the way, so I dont think the NCAA has anything to worry about.

Best suggestion: Upload it to Youtube, and then put the link on here. Linking would be similar to what we have done for previous game footage, whether it be RPIAthletics, Penticton, another juniors out, whatever it may be; or in my style of failing people (though not my own video).

Do we know why Chris Heisenberg has Nick Quinn listed as going to Penticton now instead Dubuque? I havent found a press release regarding this anyplace as of yet.

He was the play to be named later in the trade for Luke Curadi. :D

I guess that it can be mentioned now. The rumor that I heard from two apparently unconnected sources is that Jim Montgomery finally figured out that he was only allowed two imports and he had three, the others being UVM recruit Girgensons and the goalie Tiechroeb. Quinn was the odd man out. I also heard other rumors besides for Penticton as his destination.
