I don't know about you guys but we are in a really dry part of the off season and nothing is going down. Its really unsatisfying check all my usual websites everyday to find nothing. Im considering going to training camp but it depends when it is. Has anyone ever been and could you tell me what its like? Does anyone know when it is yet? If anyone finds out when training camp is will you let me know. I'd appreciate it.
