SHOW ME THE LIGHT! How have Star and Short looked in Training Camp

From what it appears, after reading numerous write ups about camp is that Short has been surprisingly good. Star seems a little out of shape, but is holding his own. The DT position is probably the hardest to evaluate in "semi-contact" drills.

It has been quoted numerous times that Short is very explosive and quick for his size. We will know more about star after the preseason game I am sure

When we drafted the two....KK always seemed like the one who could shine early. Star is a good all around DT but wasn't known for his pass rush. KK was arguably the best at that in the draft....and that pass rush gives him the ability to stand out better IMO. Doesn't mean he is better overall....Star just can do some non sexy stuff

Just having guys in the middle to hold their ground, eat up blocks, and not get pushed back will be a huge upgrade. Kuechly may have close to 200 tackles this year if Star and Short are as advertised

Reports have been that Star looks tired, out of shape, and Amini completely dominated him a few days ago at practice. 

 

 

 

Haven't heard all that much from Short besides a few tweets saying that he looks good and explosive.

I didnt hear that star was out of shape, just that he's adjusting to the speed. And I can't remember if it was sunday or saturday but zod tweeted that star actually got the better of Amini that day. I'm not sure that means much at this point but we'll see how star has adjusted come preseason.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
