2024 Prospect Camp Thread

[Bounces R Way]

Pre-season hockey entertainment for the fans while giving the opportunity to our younger potential NHL players to show their stuff? I get it... I just would rather see games where players that I mentioned were in the lineup too instead of a number of nobodies that will be lucky to become career AHL'ers let alone NHL stars.

The Nobodies that will be lucky to become career AHL'ers let alone NHL Stars Prospect Tournament just doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

You say you get it… then you show us you dont get it

Just because someone disagrees with your point of view doesn't mean they don't "get it". To conclude that is the epitome of arrogance.
I get it. I just don't agree with it. I doubt I'll waste my time watching a single game. You'd learn more and have a better entertainment experience watching them play Jr or AHL games than these so called "young stars" tourny games. Waste of time and money. I'm not that desperate to watch hockey again. I'll wait a couple more weeks for the Flames pre-season games. Watching a 3rd rate tournament, which is what it is... if it's that... just isn't that enticing to me.

Yes and no. He’s saying he gets why the stars are there or those with potential. But doesn’t recognize that having a good farm system, even people who never make the NHL have zero value. Which is entirely untrue. So no, I would say he doesn’t get why they are there.

Big 2 points on the line

Horrible 1st shift for Bru

 

[JPeeper]

Flames look awful to start. and Winnipeg just scored. oh lawd

Grushnikov has looked horrendous so far. Time to write him off, it's been 5 whole minutes.

 

[Bounces R Way]

woo boy

 

[JPeeper]

2-0 Jets

Literally never played together in a nothing tourney, but damn do we look awful to start.

 

[JPeeper]

Best Flames player that period was Misa (Lipinski was also good) and on defense I'd day Mews was the one who struggled the least. The defense in general has been a complete tire fire.

 

[JPeeper]

Morton makes it 2-1 off a solid rush, got the bounce and put it in the net.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Morty

 

[JPeeper]

Bru ties it up off a beautiful feed from Morton. Good pinch from Bru who stepped into the slot.

Flames look much better this period.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Brzusty snipe off a nice pass from Morton

liking Laing so far

Zayne is all over the place, but those saying his skating is a downside or only average don't know what they are talking about. There are some exciting tools there.

 

[super6646]

Brewski really showing his hockey IQ in the ozone. Im impressed, had a good keep in not too long ago.

He's turned it over pretty much every time he's touched it. Also needs to get much much stronger.

I don't see much chance he's going to get 9 games this year.

Misa looks promising but they desperately need way more high end offensive talent

 

[JPeeper]

RIP Johnny Hockey

Still surreal to me :'(

 

[JPeeper]

Was on CP and someone mentioned Honzek not being particularly noticeable, I completely forgot he was even playing. Doesn't look that impressive out there.

 

[JPeeper]

Jets make it 3-2 on the PP early in the third.

 

[Dack]

For one of the oldest Flames there Jurmo has been really bad.

 

[JPeeper]

Lipinski ties it up on a weird bounce and pokes it into an open net.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Adda be Lip

Ciona looks a lot faster than last year.

For one of the oldest Flames there Jurmo has been really bad.

He can't handle the puck at all. Big and skates well but really clueless positionally.

 

[super6646]

Nice rush by Parekh up the ice

 

[super6646]

Lol jeez guys lay off the penalties.
