Can't check Twitter. Too busy refreshing thread.

Inside joke = We all hated Tim/Tom (whatever his name is) for screwing us before, so we renamed him... And now we laugh a lot because Wotherspoon + Granlund >>>>> Erixon

Lots of rumblings that Boston College star Johnny Gaudreau is close to signing with Flames. MIGHT even play in Sunday's game in Vancouver.

Never doubted it. Ok, I doubted it a little. Alright, I was really worried.

Source - CP. He just can't say CP in his tweet.

According to Flight Tracker, the same flight bringing Conroy to Philly is scheduled to leave at 9:10pm EST from Philly landing in Calgary at 11:30pm this evening.

The 'rumblings' consists of 37 pages of posts from fanatic fans.

What would be the point in having JG play in Sunday's game, especially considering he's a 20 year old 5ft 5" kid that weighs 150 lbs and who has never played a professional game in his life? Plus, he will probably have zero or very little practice time with the Flames before the game.

What's he going to learn by playing the Canucks?.... how to dive professionally?

Will CP crash once we find out his decision?

He makes cammalleri expendable so they can trade him for Drouin

Having him play that game and then losing one of his entry level years might have been a bargaining chip the Flames play to get him to sign. Brings a potential bigger contract to JG one year earlier.

I would figure it is to give him a taste of the speed of the NHL game and what it is going to take in the off season for him to have a shot at making it come training camp.

Even though I kind of am not really sure if there is any reason for doing it except as an incentive for JG to sign immediately, screw this guy. I hate Bleacher report, their NHL coverage is pathetic.

The Flames burning an entire year of Johnny Gaudreau's contract so he can play in one game this season would be the Flamesiest thing ever.

This yahoo is probably just getting to the table after we have already been eating for 45 minutes, then he wonders why the peas are cold and there is no gravy left.
