Is that a fact? I seem to recall both Treliving and Craig Conroy suggesting that Foo could push for a spot in camp.

Like I said, I think Foo will almost certainly start in Stockton, but based on statements from management since he was signed I sure don't think it qualifies as "wishful thinking" to imagine that he might actually crack the Flames roster.
