Training Camp - Sept 20

[shogged]

Wolf sounds like he's been wild so far, everything he was billed to be. I hope he can get his speed up to an NHL level and we can see him play this year. He is my kinda player.

[Nehkara]

On D, Kulak has been good.

Black tied it at 2-2 but I didn't catch the goal scorers.

[AC]

Sketchy cell coverage.

Here are all my thoughts from the game:

Baertschi with a great back hand saucer pass to a streaking Colborne who drove hard into Carr.

Wolf got flattened by Yonkman along the boards. Yonkman also finished a hard check on Glenny.

Agostino with a tight in top shelf wrister on a rebound from Monahan's line.

Byron with a nice backhand goal in close.

Wolf and Sieloff got into a punching match.

Byron looks as shifty and smart with the puck as ever.

Wolf destroyed Cundari behind the net while they were both racing for a puck.

Stajan with a great steal and move to set up an odd man rush but ran out of room trying a centering pass.

Diaz with a few nice shots.

Really hope we see Wolf vs the Oilers. He's an absolute wrecking ball. Made a great pass on a rush as well, almost resulted in a goal.

Colborne with a great pass across the crease to Sven who tried a beauty move to cut back across the crease, but the puck rolled wide after the goalie got enough.

Ramage with a beauty pass to the far post for a tap in, missed the scorer.

I literally only noticed David Jones when he was losing the puck or putting his line offside. Naturally he scores next shift on a wrister the goalie got half of.

Mono to Raymond to Hudler for a great tic tac toe play but Hudler couldn't score on the backhand.

Wolf rings the post with a hard wrister down the wing.

AC battling hard in front almost scores while falling down. Another good shift by AC with Mono and Ferland.

Game ends 2-2.

[AC]

Gaudreau flies down the wing and tries his impossible angle wrister at the goalie's head. Looked close, maybe off the crossbar.

[AC]

Setoguchi with a nice play holding up at the blueline and finding Brookbank for a chance.

[AC]

Looked like Brodie scored but it apparently snuck in under the side I guess?

[AC]

Yonkman tries to destroy Gaudreau, who hops around him pretty easily

These big guys have been brought in to protect the kids, not to destroy them! Yikes. Well, what do expect when limited roster spots are up for grabs.

[AC]

White scores off a 3 way passing play started by Hudler.

Might have been Raymond with the tap in.

Good way to get noticed- Speed, tenacity, non-stop motor.

Bad way to get noticed- Cripple a potential superstar prospect in a training camp scrimmage.

Someone may want to point these out to Yonkman.

[AC]

Carroll starts a rush with a neat move to the inside then the lines jam in a rebound goal.

2-0 White.

[Bandwagon In Flames]

Hartley said this would be the most competitive training camp in Flames history. It's a battle, so expect the physical play to continue. This camp is a as much a survival test as anything.

[Street Pharmacist]

Gregg Drinnan thinks Carroll could make it. Thinks really highly of him

[AC]

Cundari has looked good, made a strong pinch and almost set up a goal on a wraparound.

I've liked Setoguchi so far.

[Nehkara]

Agostino!

[AC]

Agostino on a give and go with Elson scores.

3-0 White.

[AC]

Gio takes a penalty holding onto AC on a partial breakaway.
Gio is pissed.

[AC]

Carroll and Stevenson get into it after a whistle.

[AC]

Hudler bombs a one timer crossbar and in. Beauty!

4-0.
