“I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far; It’s intense out there,” Vigneault said about the pace of training camp. “I’ve liked also the young guys coming into camp and following the pace.”
After scrimmaging on Sunday, the Flyers now head for their first game real game action of the season. A season that has a lot of high hopes.
“I thought the pace was good. The execution was what is expected at this time of the year,” Vigneault said on Sunday. “There wasn’t obviously, an over amount of physicality, which is normal for guys playing against one another. There were a lot of good stick position, good plays, and a couple of real good saves.”
