Default Calgary Flames Garbage Bag Day!

The dreaded day for any fan of any professional sports team, Garbage Bag day and Media Day. It came earlier then I wanted but it was a heck of a ride this season. Tweets from all the Flames media.

Quote:
Kristen Odland‏ @Kristen_Odland 18m18 minutes ago

Freddie Hamilton is the first #Flames player at G-bag day. On playoffs: "We could have won every game."

Lazar chatting about joining the #Flames "A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.... I felt like I had a chance to re-write my script."

Versteeg still upset about the traffic light en route to the Dome: "That light on McLeod and 12th, it's just not long enough...."

#Flames captain Mark Giordano: "I just think our belief next year, right from the start, needs to be there."

"With the atmosphere here in the last few games, it's hard not to love this rink." - Mark Giordano

Versteeg also adds a new arena would be nice, but wouldn't detail on what plan he would like to see come through.

Also will be interesting on which Flames were really banged up.

Johnny may still have some lingering problems with his hands that caused him to pass more then shoot?

I'm also curious to hear the injury report if there is one. I suspect Brouwer's hand is still giving him issues, and Gaudreau's been playing with pins in his hand/finger which had to have played a role.

Pending UFA Kris Versteeg says he'd love to be back next season. Says he considers this year a great success for him. #Flames

The previous two years you were such an over the top fan boy almost gushing with each "Johnny Hockey.." You wanted Treliving to "back the truck up" almost having daily panic attacks that he wasn't signed. The guy struggles, which happens to all players throughout their career and it's been an entire year of obnoxious dismissive comments towards him. Such a disgusting 180.

Can't wait to him to shove your words right back up your butt. All of them. At once.

Versteeg had an excellent season, was one of our best players in the Ducks series, and he seems like a great guy in the room. I hope they bring him back as well.

Bring him back and give him Brouwer's "A". Seems like a great guy in the locker room and a a good leader.

Can we leave the pitchforks out for other members out of the threads for a while? It seems like every single thread here on CP now has someone calling people out as trolls.

"He's a great friend but I'm obviously not going to (comment) on (the lawsuit)," Giordano on Dennis Wideman.

Kris Versteeg can't comment on Wideman lawsuit involving Henderson. Only said "Dennis (Wideman) is a great guy.

One more on Versteeg. He says he'd "100% prioritize" staying in Calgary and close to home in contract talks this summer

#Flames Mark Giordano will consider joining Team Canada at World Hockey Championships in Paris. Will take two-three days to mull over

His whining and spotty play is rather annoying, add the rumors around his off ice stuff and yeah, not a fan of his year. It's not production so much as it is his style of play. When it doesn't work it's extremely frustrating to watch.

If he stops whining and plays like he did, I'll be all for it.

Pending UFA Deryk Engelland says coming back to Calgary is "near the top of the list" of places he'd want to be next year.

One can assume Vegas may be the top of that list.

Johnny isn't hurt

Really thought Johnny may have been banged up in the playoffs. Never the less, Gaudreau will play for USA once again. #Flames

Engelland coming back at 1.9/2 years would be great. Would allow us to rotate a couple younger blueliners in and out of the lineup.

Agreed, Loved his game this season. Really brought that nasty edge. Although I don't want to see a Bart/Eng paring again.

If Gaudreau has success with his USA line mates maybe we can steal one of them for the Flames next season.

Gotta love Lazar. He's a real gem, glad he is part of the team.
