[GDT] Rookies report!

[FBI]

It's ridiculous how excited I am about any flames news.

Hopefully we get some cool quotes / videos today.
How much practice are they going to get in today before the games start tomorrow?

[Moneyhands23]

Don't worry, your not alone!!! I'm heading to Penticton today!!!

So far the rebuild has been a breeze! Lol

[-TC-]

This is the first camp in a long long time that I've been this excited for....

I've been saying for years it seems, to all the grease fans I have to deal with, to just wait..when the Flames can dump some of the burdensome contracts, it will get more interesting...that day is finally here

BRING ON THE KIDS

[King Theo]

I would love to see a few reports, I need some real Flames news. I can’t wait to watch the game tomorrow night. It is the only one that is at a good time. The 4 hour time change to BC kill us on the east coast.

Does anyone else hope the whole "pull ups" story with Bennett will disappear?
I'm sure he does.

[Poe969]

I'm pretty sure he cares less than most of us. I'm pretty sure he'll get razzed about it a lot but I don't think it's news or even a story at this point. They kid has shown he's a player and he's damned good at it. He took down Kanzig in a battle for the puck and I'll take someone who can do that over someone who can do pull ups any time.

It will be a funny joke for years to come... If someone brought it up every once in a while, it gives you a little chuckle. If it's brought up every day, or a thread is made about it (like we did), then it's annoying.

The Flames have embraced an entertaining and comical attitude. I actually hope it sticks around and we tease the kid about it for years. I can see him being a beast, so it will just get funnier as he establishes himself. More importantly, I hope he's the kind of personality that will continue to laugh about it. Boring Monahan and Pull-Up Bennett will be fun.

[Poe969]

what do you guys think the odds are that TSN has something about it on sports centre or that's hockey?

[Badgers Nose]

let's get a poll - how many chin ups?

[CsInMyBlood]

I have the feeling Bennett will do more pull ups than anyone today.

agreed, I see him pulling up the his parking spot many times due to him leaving to get ice packs for his sore back.

[Rick M.]

I think Bennett will bend the pull up bar in half and take a large bite out of it.

I would assume something as Bob McKenzie will there.

Coming to Penticton for VAN-EDM-CGY-WPG rookie tournament never gets old. Games start tomorrow.

[Righteous1]

So many squat racks! That place must be heaven! What gym is that?

[Joborule]

That gym does look great.
