2015 Calgary Flames Training Camp Thread [Starts Thu Sept. 17]

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yeah, not saying the articles are wrong, but it's speculation at this point. Hiller could very well be the opening night starter. The only comments we've heard management openly make is that they want to get better at the goaltending position, which is a knock on everyone. I don't feel that they believe they have a guy in net that is elite or can steal a playoff series, and the goal is to get a guy who can.

I'm super curious to see how this all turns out.

I have added the first round of cuts to the OP and added Derek Grant

with the size of some of these tweets do you guys feel like 4 in a post is too much? I think more would be too much, but undecided on if 3 would be better than 4.

All I'll say is there's a reason I decided to paraphrase all the tweets earlier.

With Byron being listed as not Scrimmaging with Smid & Culkin, I would have to assume he is injured.

 

[Master Bill]

Dougie is looking fly in the red jersey along with his red hair.

Yeah, the other day it was mentioned that all of the players were on the ice skating except for Byron.

 

[Anglesmith]

 

[Lunatik]

I'd guess he is still a ways off then, maybe another 4-6 weesk?

 

[Straight Fire]

Engellend reminds me of Matt Brown of UFC fame.

The collapse tag would be useful.

[Yarborough]

Engellands beard is nice.

 

[Anglesmith]

Am I the only one here who hears Lomberg's name and thinks about Office Space? If he could make the Flames, that'd be great.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

^^^ This cracked me up

 

[Calculon]

Some interesting, some obvious lines early on


Hope Brodie isn't stuck with Engelland for too long.

Flu's seem to go around this team an awful lot.

Uh oh . . .

[Lunatik]

I wonder if Raymod is better than ASmod
