Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

A peek around Panthers Training Camp

A few shots - sadly, of the lower-quality variety - snapped at the Saveology Iceplex during (public) Day One of Cats Camp 2011. Apologies for the fuzziness; as much as I'd prefer to blame the glass partitions, it just wouldn't be honest. Let's fault the building's lighting instead.

What appeared to be the entire front office was as expected in attendance (Dale Tallon, Mike Santos, Scott Luce, a bevy of coaches from around the organization, the broadcast teams, Michael Yormark; though I didn't personally catch a glimpse of Craig Ramsay nor the legendary Bill Torrey). At several points all three rinks were buzzing with activity, allowing for a much more social occasion for the fans than in recent years. Kudos to the Saveology Iceplex staff for yet again raising the bar.

Everyone's back at it Sunday at 9 am. Photos after the jump...

Whats funny about that Kuli-Ellerby pic is the fact Ellerby is 3" taller than Kuli

I’m putting here for reflection later on in the season…. #14 Tomas [Fleischmann] is getting a 40G season.

There was a point when Yonkman (6’-6" – before skates) was on his knees stretching while next to a gaggle of other skaters and was the better part of 2/3rds the size of any other player. Freakishly huge, but mobile.

Not gonna lie. I’m always excited about the start of hockey season, but this year is another level. So many unknowns. I feel like the chances of a deep playoff run are just as good as another finish in the bottom half of the conference are about equal. Sure, the past few years we may have strung together a run to the 8th seed and a playoff spot, but you knew what we had going in. This year? Who knows? But I’m looking forward to finding out.

oh, and I should have maybe introduced my above post with “all these pictures of new players, young players, Jovanovski makes me think that…”

:) Hurry up October.

And apparently I’d had a couple too many when posting. “I feel like the chances of a deep playoff run are just as good as another finish in the bottom half of the conference are about equal”… nothing like saying the same thing twice incoherently to emphasize my point, right?
