Breath of fresh air from the usual stuff they are taught to say. You'd think he's Russian. I enjoyed his SJ quip. Something like, "You lose 1-0, put up a .960 sv %age...nobody cares. It doesn't matter". Interesting moves by Conroy. Definitely taking some swings, can't fault him. Where were we headed regardless? Might as well take some swings with Mantha, Barrie and Frk. No point in trying to make big splash signings currently. Depth and competition is never a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tribal Chief Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 I honestly have been Suprised How well Conroy has done being a new Gm of any team isn't easy and assistant gm isn't gm so it is alot to learn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that they separated Huberdeau and Mantha, I thought they wanted to work on their chemistry. Checking boxes for Mantha. Backlund, Coleman, Zary, Coronato there as well. Can he fit in other roles? Is he anything without passes from Huberdeau? I would want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't repeat what I read, it was just last year. Let's just say we have 2 ex-Wings draft picks in Mantha and Frk. Completely different styles, highly skilled, but both the same issue. Neither can rake their Satoshi Nakamoto into one pile so it's all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 Pretty good write up. Maybe stay away from playing, "Kung Fu Fighting" at Calgary games... https://calgaryherald.com/sports/hockey/nhl/calgary-flames/martin-frk-brings-big-shot-but-where-does-he-fit-with-flames-organization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Pospisil is DTD Bean is DTD Coronato is DTD Weegar maintenance day I am guessing that group one will be playing tomorrow vs Vancouver, or at least most of group one. I wonder if Zary skating with the AHL group is a bit of wake up call, that maybe he needs to step it up in camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe? I didn't see him needing a shake up, unless it was during practice. Honzek on a line with Kadri is consistent with his performance to date. Keep testing him. See how he does. Rooney at C shows how shallow our C depth is. No Pospisil and we needed to put Sharky back at C. Morton and Kirkland have been the only other C's to deserve a 2nd look. Lipinski was good on the dot last game IIRC. But he is AHL bound for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conundrumed Posted September 27 Author Report Share Posted September 27 It's time. Camp starts with 64. aka way too many. Nice to keep the dmen around for an extended look. Brzustewicz getting solid reviews from the players. Good to see actual D prospects. 4 goalies all having good camps. All 4 will be fighting for starts between the 2 teams. Morton and Ignatyev both looking like savvy signings. Free depth where not much existed, gotta like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conundrumed Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 Hopefully Parekh can't get back in Saginaw's roster tonight. For purely selfish reasons. Nice to have him on board for guiding him. First camps are pretty overwhelming for 99% of 18yos. They're generally in over their heads. Even the worst 4th line NHLer is waaay savvier than a kid. For now, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not liking the incessant bumps and bruises that players need to mend. Kadri left the ice after running into Coleman, but sounds like he should be okay.

travel_dude Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 No big surprises there. Poirier isn't quite ready yet. There is still a few D and F yet to be sent down. Some teams have already waived players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the rookies and (upcoming) sophomore AHL players, Bru and Grush have been the best. I would even suggest that Bru has made a case for 1st callup. It's gonna be a numbers game come the end of camp. Too many D need waivers. Obvious top 5: Andersson, Bahl, Bean, Miromanov, Weegar Next up, but depends on waivers: Pachal, Solo, Brz, Grush, Barrie, Hanley, Tinordi Still standing: Kuznetsov Just waived: Aspirot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a shifting in momentum at times, but a lot of zone time was due to poor Flames defensive play. Missed passes, lazy clearing, etc. The Flames continue to be good at O zone pressure. It's where we dominate most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 It's funny how we ended up with the 2 top scoring D from the OHL last year. They were 8th and 10th overall in scoring. I'm guess the Nucks aren't happy with the couple of months of Lindholm for that and the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
