Day 3 Phase 3 training camp. Backlund leaves the ice early.
Looks like no change in groups. Which kind of sucks as many other teams are doing scrimmages, but I guess the Flames just have to deal with it.
Ryan Leslie @SNryanleslie
No Derek Ryan this morning and now Backlund who was on earlier, has left the ice.
#Flames
Wes Gilbertson @WesGilbertson
#Flames C Mikael Backlund headed to the locker-room a few minutes ago and has yet to return. Not uncommon in training camp especially, but always nerve-wracking for a team to see one of its most valuable skaters exit.

Scott Rintoul speculating Johnny Gaudreau is in the 2nd group because he's not in good shape.

Yeah this is a bit unfortunate as you have to question his commitment to being the best player he can be. I would imagine if he doesn't have a good playoffs that it will be near certain that he's moved in the offseason.

Wes Gilbertson was on the morning show today and doesn't believe that the nine players that are separated from the main group are not in good shape.

Yeah....Rintoul has no idea. He is strictly guessing.
I was told last night it was for a very different reason but Im not going to say what that was because it cannot be confirmed and would merely be pure speculation as well, cause it cannot and will not be confirmed by the club even if true.

If the Flames were upset with anybody's fitness level, they would say it.

Always productive to judge a person's character, based on a completely unsubstantiated piece of speculation

Much like the Pens sitting 9 guys because they know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy with COVID, I suspect its similar for the Flames, and other teams. You have a link to someone with COVID but are fine, or have had even the sniffles over the past 2 weeks? Second group you go.

Gaudreaus's GF is a nurse, he is likely in the second group from secondhand contact.
I would assume it's the same for most of the others.

I'll say it first.
Let's not crucify anyone....contempt prior to investigation.
Let's not speculate on anything until they drop The puck....and be grateful we are even talking about the possibility of hockey.
The pissing contests on here have to stop.

The Calgary Flames’ first-liner is also gaining an even greater appreciation for what his girlfriend, Meredith, deals with as one of the front-liners. She is a nurse at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“It’s been a little eye-opening, some of the things we’ve had to be doing,” Gaudreau said after Monday’s training-camp sessions at the Saddledome. “The other day, when I was flying back to Calgary, I wore my mask the whole day. It was, like, seven hours I had to wear it. And she was like, ‘This is every night for me, 12 hours a night, three-nights a week.’ It’s crazy what they are going through, and she’s doing a lot of good.
“It just puts it into perspective that it’s not that bad wearing (a mask) for two hours at the rink when you’re hanging out with the guys.”

The 26-year-old ordered a Peloton bike early in the pause and logged a lot of miles on the rollerblades that the Flames shipped south to him, but there’s no substitute for actually being on a frozen-sheet.

I could be wrong but wouldn’t the second group be guys who haven’t cleared quarantine yet since arriving in Calgary?
Also Johnny is so obviously gone back home as soon as he gets the chance. Any one who thinks otherwise is delusional.

While our intrepid provincial government lead by an incompetent insurance salesman is demonizing all of our current healthcare employees? Including causing almost 40% of Drs province wide to consider moving to other jurisdictions?
Yeah, no chance in hell that is happening.

Based on how Wes Gilbertson was speaking on the radio this morning, I will speculate.
The second group of players are in that group because they are currently COVID-19 negative but have been in contact with or was in contact with someone who has been in contact with a person that has tested COVID-19 positive in the last month.
My pure speculation.
