When one door closes, another one opens... Aaron said he didn't want to be anywhere but here in the organization in some form or another. This is a good thing for him, and I wish him nothing but the best. Thanks for the hugs at camp, Aaron.

This is standard policy. They always automatically renew unless you cancel it.

My vote goes to Jordan Owens. Plays his heart out and really works hard. I like him a lot. I expect to see good things out of him in GR.

Aaron came to camp with a great attitude and worked hard. But one twist of fate and it's all for naught. It was great to see you again, Aaron, and thanks for the hugs. Good luck and good journeys.

Aaron came into camp with a wonderful attitude and worked his butt off. Unfortunately all it takes is one twist of fate, and it's all for naught. Whatever you do, Aaron, it was great to see you again. And thanks for the hugs.

It's a wise soul who knows their limitations and learns to accept and go on. I wish him nothing but good. I got to meet him at camp a couple years ago. Really nice kid. Good luck and good journeys, Ryan.

I can think of some "stars" in this league who could take a few lessons in humility from Pasha.

One of the most humble, gracious, giving souls I've ever had the pleasure to be around. Bless you, Pasha.

I like this kid Jordan Owens. He has a lot of heart and plays hard. Good moves as well.

I daresay that with three Stanley Cups on his resume, he's got nothing to hang his head about. Good luck and good journeys, Mathieu. You had a hell of a ride.

I picked up a copy of the Hockey Chronicle last year when I was up at camp. It was on sale at Borders for about 6 bucks, and I have to say it was a good investment. Beautifully put together and interesting reading.

Oh not hardly...it's just an expression. But I still believe with all my hockey heart that Henrik and Pasha could beat those two like a red-headed stepchild and think nothing of it.

You dog...you're a lucky soul.

Sad as I am to even have to think about this subject, my money is on Jon Ericsson and Flip. Let us hope I am proven wrong.

I don't think there are very many players who can make Pasha look bad.

Give me Pasha and Henrik seven days a week and three times on Sunday.

Damn, I'm hittin' Dillinger's next year!

Love it! Who is that, anyway???

He's done well. I think he'll be sticking around Grand Rapids.

Aw, you're gonna make me blush... Today's pics are up on Photobucket. Enjoy and snark to your hearts' content!

I have to assume that those who aren't listed are the ones who were sent home today.

He's not too bad. Don't know much about him. One funny thing happened today. We had Loki with us again and Ken Kal walked by. He stopped to pet Loki and talked to us for a minute, then left. He came back a few minutes later with a camera guy, and asked if he could sit down beside Loki. Of course we said sure, and now our pooch is gonna be on Red Wings TV!!! Ken made some promos with Loki, and I can't wait to see them online. It was crazy. If you go to www.detroitredwings.com...hit multimedia and go to Red Wings TV. Under 2010 Training Camp Day #2 - Sights and Sounds, you will see my Loki about 45 seconds in.

I also like Jordan Owens. I ran into him at the grocery store last night, and he was so nice. He and I share the same birthday. He's got lots of potential. Also showing well is the young goalie, Petr Mrazek. He's got potential.

He's doing well! He's on Pasha's team. New pics added on Photobucket.

The link to my pics is in the other training camp thread. And it works. But it won't work here. Go figure. More pics tomorrow!
