MacDonald: "It's kind of nice coming into the season knowing that you've got a good chance at being the No. 1 or the No. 2, whatever it is."

Giordano: "It’s going to be interesting to see Karri and Reto in a game. I’ve skated with them, they look really good in practice."
[QUOTE=Calgary4LIfe;4388554]I thought he was pretty good also. Thought he played well enough to garner an AHL contract anyways - perhaps he didn't want an AHL only contract?[/QUOTE
A guy in his position would take any contract he could get.
Yeah I could definitely see Galiardi playing centre on that line with Hudler and Baertschi.
I am hoping that Knight really steps up and earns a spot either 3C or 4C on the NHL club. I wasn't too impressed with his Penticton tourney though.
Also looking for Horak to make strides.
I am wondering whether the youth movement is really going to happen day one. With the addition of players like Russell, Galiardi, Jones, and O'Brien there isn't much room on the roster.
I don't think that is a big concern. Barring a miracle the Flames are likely going to be sellers at the deadline and there will be lots of room come March. I don't think it is the end of the world of some of these players spend a few months developing at the AHL before moving into the NHL.
I do think the goalie spot will be interesting though. I could see any of Berra, Ramo, MacDonald, or Ortio earning starts this season.
The embedded videos work for me but the main site doesn't.
Is there a fansite for Karri Rämö's hair? If not, there ought to be.
Oddly the site works for me but the embedded videos don't.
The best part of Ramo's interview was when Millions said Kipper was residing in Calgary this year and asked Ramo if he welcomed an opportunity to talk with him. Ramo lit up like a kid at Christmas at the thought, he has the opportunity to fill an idols shoes, that should be great motivation for him.
