Stanislav Galiev catches a breather

So I had to leave a little early from Group B's on-ice session, but I did get a chance to jot some notes down and take a few quick videos. I focused primarily on Stanislav Galiev and Marcus Johansson for this session, and they didn't disappoint. During one-on-ones, Johansson was extremely strong on the puck and also showed good hands when trying to swipe the puck from his opponent. He showed great skating ability, and while his speed didn't seem to blow me away, he had great control and agility. Galiev had a far prettier shot than Makan and put a few nice shots past the goalie on his end of the ice without any major effort (of course it was one of the invitees for what it's worth). He also skated well, although it seems that he has to fill out his frame a lot more before he will be fully NHL ready. Both guys were impressive early in the session, and Johansson earned special praise from Bruce Boudreau, who stated that he was a better skater than the Caps' top pivot Nicklas Backstrom.

To tide you over until tomorrow (hopefully complete with interviews), here are a few clips from Gabby's conditioning exercises with Group A and some clips of Johansson and Galiev running drills.
