They weren't planning on being as intense this year. Maybe avoiding overworking the kids they're more familiar with but still allow for team bonding and getting to know each other?

I'm really hoping to get some clarification as to why Jankowski and Gillies are not participating in the on-ice sessions.

@RogMillions
Looking like Sam Bennett and John Gaudreau could play on a line at #Flames camp. Might be interesting to watch.

Excuse me, I have to go change my pants now.

Preview of our first line in 2016. This is going to be fun.

Sportak tweeted yesterday:

CBA limit players to 3 summer camps. #Flames invoking rule limiting it to 2 camps. Some only came because Treliving wanted to build rapport

So perhaps that's at least part of the explanation... Jankowski/Gilles were either told they aren't participating in the on ice stuff to allow room for others or were given the option and elected not to.

^ I think we should blow it out of proportion and label Him Bustkowski from here on out because he is not participating. Clearly there is some deep character flaw in him, Burke wants to kill him or his parents are meddling too much.

That would be my guess

I doubt Jankowski a Gilles travelled all the way to Calgary on their own dime to socialize. My guess is a couple of minor injuries were discovered so the Flames are keeping them out for precautionary reasons.

I just assumed the Flames were paying for the college kids under the table. Worst kept secret in the NHL style. I guess I'm wrong?

C'mon , everyone knows that no one pays college athletes except BCS national title winning schools.... I'm looking at you SEC teams and USC.

Yikes, Kristin had some really badly worded questions for Wolf. On a couple she was trying to ask one thing but ended up asking something else. I'm surprised he handled himself so well being that english is not his first language. They should really just simplify their questions especially for kids coming overseas.

Definitely better than Granlund, though lol. Markus' interviews when he was with the team were gold.

[Split98]

Gonna love Smith, I can tell. Making a Burkie joke about him being drafted? Yes.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Hard to watch that Bennett interview. Super awkward moments there.

Definitely.

[Coach]

I like Wolf's attitude and enthusiasm.

[djsFlames]

Me too. I'm already a fan of Wolf.

[Gaskal]

I'm thinking he goes to Adirondack but would love to see him get called up to beat on Burrows and the Oilers.


Plus he looks kinda like Brock Lesnar.

[jschick88]

Really hope Wolf makes the Flames out of training camp. Really excited about him.

David Wolf, at some point this weekend, will seek out a ruling.

With a full-contact scrimmage slated for Monday — Day 4 of the Calgary Flames’ development camp — Wolf, a toughie, needs to know the parameters.

How much mayhem is permitted?

“Of course, I’m going to ask the coaches about how hard we can play,” said Wolf. “Then I will see what happens.”

This past spring, the Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators had also courted Wolf, who ended up signing a one-year deal — worth $70,000 in the American Hockey League, $775,000 in Calgary.

Up the highway, another German forward will be trying to impress his bosses, too, in the fall. Wolf has met Leon Draisaitl, picked third overall by the Edmonton Oilers last week.

“My dad actually played with his dad (Peter),” he said. “I don’t know him well, but I skated with him a couple years ago. I wished him luck on Facebook before the draft. I’m pretty happy a German player was a first-round draft (pick) this year.”

But should the countrymen meet in, say, a pre-season contest, don’t expect to see an embrace.

“If we play one day, it’s going to be — of course — no friends,” said Wolf. “Especially against Edmonton. I’m trying to play for the Flames right now. If I’m going to play one day against Edmonton, it’s not going to be friendly.”

I wish poirier was able to play at this camp on that line... Will be a deadly line in 2-3 years time. So much speed, grit, and skill it will be hard to contain them. Follow that up with a baertschi-Monahan-colborne line maybe?
