I really like the combination of cycle work and shooting mentality. I'm not sure where he fits, but we should keep him up.

If he continues to get a couple of those bombs away a game he will do just fine and pot 15 goals at least he had 7 shots on net tonight 11 in 1st 2 games he is getting into the right spots

I wonder if that Dollar Store Mike Smith bro nutted over these two meaningless games tonight

Nothing bodes anything right now lol.

Hilarious how the pre season overreactions happen every year. People really never learn.

You can take some things. If a guy isn’t putting effort in or looks slow they aren’t really trying. If a player is looking overwhelmed in preseason, that’s definitely a concern.

I said Derek Ryan would get a goal

I was wrong

JeffSkinner53 · 2024-09-23T23:34:57-0400

Is that a glitch, btw

You’d add him again?

Listen...I might have ingested some...substance that makes me a bit on the goofy side of things. Definitely didn't see Hamblin in your post because, apparently I can't read simple English lol

McTonyBrar · 2024-09-23T23:36:46-0400

The new Dmen of Edmonton (Brown, Dermott, Stetcher) made me puke tonight

Depends on the player. Vets at this point are skating at like 30%. The only people you can start to evaluate somewhat this early on are junior players PTO’s and tweeners who have some chance.

Dermott won't get an NHL contract.

Brown will be sent to the minors.

Stetcher is a #7.

We should be okay.

I get that. But I mean the mental side really.
Ekholm let a guy go past him he normally wouldn’t earlier. You could tell he still knew what to do but he wasn’t putting in full effort so he didn’t get there. He can still clearly do what he needs to do and you can see that. Brown made a few awful plays him his game for example where it didn’t even look like he knew what to do. And this is a guy fighting for a spot.

Then who is our #6 if Brown is down and Stetcher is our #7?

A 1 Shouldered Klefbom could do better i bet

Rnh McDavid Hyman
Skinner Draisaitl Arvidsson
Hoffman Henrique Podklozin

Who’s playing #4 minutes?
Emberson? Hopefully They scouted him properly

FlameChampion · 2024-09-23T23:41:58-0400

Just preseason but hope the team is ready to go when the season starts. I haven’t loved the way this team starts the season going back a few years now.

Pretty terrible night of goaltending though. Hopefully Skinner is sharp when he gets a start.

Brown is buryable and this probably forces management to do something sooner rather than later.

Or just play Stecher instead.

Are you shitting me? Stetcher was the second worse defenceman tonight next to Brown lol

Soundwave · 2024-09-23T23:43:43-0400

Has to be one of the top 5 nights in Flames town since 2004, lol.

VainGretzky · 2024-09-23T23:43:52-0400

Perry should just retire IMO

Apparently you don’t get that because you just typed a whole lot of sentences complaining about plays by vets lol. Even guys like Brown are skating at 30% at best right now. This is literally the very start of camp. Those guys are just going for a skate and feeling some pucks. Start to get your timing on things. There’s still two rounds of cuts before those players start ramping up.

Both. He can’t skate well, can’t move the puck well, and his pivots to turn to retrieve the puck are about the same radius as a WestJet plane. That last goal, Brown couldn’t even make a simple ring around.

So worse than Vinny? Jesus, didn't think that was possible.

He will get 10 of them in the minors this season

Interesting interview with McDavid & Hyman on the Amazon series.

"Well, I wasn't trying to be the star of the show, but somehow I found myself front and center I guess, so... Uhh... Yeah, certainly some vulnerable moments there." - McDavid

I'm pumped.
