“I don’t know if you watched the skating tests at the end, but I believe he was the fastest of his group,” beamed Flames head coach Bob Hartley. “We told you we got younger, we got bigger and we got faster. Well ... here’s the proof right there — he was the fastest player in the skating test.”

“He destroyed everybody in the mountain, so that was pretty impressive,” marvelled Mark Giordano, the backbone of the Flames’ blueline brigade. “But I think one stride is worth three of anyone else’s, so it’s a little easier for him.

“He’s an impressive skater, for sure. He’s a lot like (fellow Flames defenceman TJ Brodie) — he just skates really well and it just seems so effortless and easy for them and pisses off the rest of the guys who don’t skate so smooth.”

The boss was impressed.
The captain was impressed.
And the new guy?
“I was just trying to breathe after.”
