Disagree all you want but this guy shouldnt be ghouling around our franchise anymore imo.

How busy is it there today? Thinking I might head down tomorrow, as downtown is pretty much shut down.

There were plenty of seats above the rink during session 2, there were a bunch of seats roped off, the available seats were maybe 1/3 full

Interesting they roped off seats, likely for the Flames staff/scouts as most people respected their space but I watched a couple people plop themselves down literally right next to Huska and Maloney when literally 3/4 was empty on the other side…

Lots of space available, it’s usually pretty good except for scrimmage day (saturday) then you’ll see it pretty full.

I saw the Maloney and Button photo thing completely different. Maloney was creating space between him and Honzek. He wanted Button (or another scout off camera?) to slide in next to Honzek.

Maloney got pissy face when Button declined and had to stand there himself.

Seemed Don was trying to give scouts some recognition which seems like how he operates.

So stoked for Ciona! I have a great feeling about this guy, and that interview only solidified it. He oozes confidence and I'm here for it.

Best friends Lipinski and Littler are together again as part of the Flames organization
https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/i-co...it/c-345255624
Quote:
"I've been up here in Calgary for about three weeks now, working out," Littler said. "That second day of the draft, me and (Flames prospect) Parker (Bell) were checking our phones every once a while during our workout to see how things were going. When we saw he got drafted - to Calgary of all places - we were so excited. I texted him right away and you could tell he was pumped, too."

The 6-foot-3, 200-lb. winger is intriguing prospect, with the 'strides' he's taken since being drafted one year ago.

"Skating is a huge thing for me," Littler said. "I've been working with (Skating Coach) Danielle (Fujita) all last summer and throughout the season, and she's been great for me. … All the resources the team has provided has helped me grow my game and try new things, and I'm seeing improvements in all areas every single day because of it."

Transition from international-sized ice to compact, North America style suits William Stromgren's game

Stromgren is a player to watch this season. I think he gets underrated to a certain degree.

I think with everything that’s happened in the world the last three years, it’s easy to lose track of a prospect playing on the other side of the world who isn’t transcendently good.

But I too am excited to see what Stromgren brings.

More or less what I saw as well. Blatant rift at the management level confirmed.

Stromgren's team, Brynas, was relegated to Sweden's Second Division. He wasn't going to be well served continuing there.

Stromgren looked good, they were doing some shooting/rebound drills and he was very strong at it, great shot placement and his hands were very good.

Skating looked solid, agility was there but the biggest thing for him is confidence, when he has it he plays much better. Does anyone know where he plans to play this year?

Sounds like he's playing in North America this season.
