Sean Monahan and Matthew Tkachuk both on the ice for practice today. Curiously, Sam Bennett wearing a yellow no-contact jersey. #Flames

No contact on the Beard. More for the other players' benefit.

Speculation on my part but he took a stick to the ribs/midsection in the 2nd period during a goal mouth scramble. Thought it was a spear at first but the replay on the Jumbotron showed it was more of a slash. He winced and went straight to the bench at the whistle but was back out for his next shift.

Bennett is fine...wore gold so he didn't have to keep switching jerseys in special teams-heavy practice.

Tried to focus on the question marks. Here's my takes, in between beers and keeping my little guy somewhat under control
Brouwer and Hamilton win the interact with kids during warm-up award. HM to Andersen and Stajan
Jankowki is making this team. No doubt about it.
Andersen makes a legitimate push for a NHL spot. Never once looked out of place.
Klimchuk looked good. I think we see in a Flames uni this year. Probably not right out of camp, but he's ready.
Glass.... I want to like him, he impressed me against the Canucks and again tonight, but I don't think he adds anything we didn't already have.
Shinkaruk, sadly, didn't do much. Still beneath guys like Freddie Hamilton on the depth chart
Brouwer looked pretty good. Played like the Brouwer I thought we were getting. More of that please
I'll add some more thoughts when I get home
Adding on now that I can type it on a keyboard.
Ferland: It took a while for me to warm up to having him in a top 6 role but I have to say, he did not look out of place one bit. . He's so much more than just a bit of muscle with an above average shot, he's a decent playmaker too. The guy can help cycle the puck and is great at using his size to keep guys off of it. 45+ points wouldn't surprise me this year
Bennett: Who the hell is this guy and what did he do with Sam? Seriously, he's looks way bigger this year and that might have been the best game I've seen him play.
Hamonic: Comes as advertised. Not flashy but almost always makes the right decision with and without the puck.
D Hamilton: Wasn't watching him too closely since I wanted to focus on new additions and prospects, but man, he just looks like he's having fun out there. #### eating grin on his face during puck battles cracks me up every time. What a treat to watch.
F Hamilton: Looked better than he did last year. Still won't be anything more than an extra forward but he's a great guy to have in that role.
Invisible and/or did not really impress: Stajan, Lazar, Hathaway, Shinkaruk (Like I mentioned before) All of these guys are below Freddie on the depth chart in my opinion
I'm still willing to give Lazar a chance but from what I've seen so far this pre-season, Klimchuk adds way more as a third line winger
Was good to see Bennett take swat at the Coyote player after he pushed Johnny down after the goal. Don't think we would see Monahan do that. Both great payers but liking Bennett's
leadership because it sets the tone for the whole team to support each other.
Just saw your post AC thanks for sharing the vid as I have no clue how to do that sort of thing!

Any gifs of the Ham-mer Bros (Dougie and Freddie) dishing out the pain last night? Dougie in the corner in the first; Freddie in the third (apparently in retaliation for something on Johnny which I must have missed)...
The praise for Bennett after one preseason game is just as ridiculous as trashing Smith after one preseason game earlier.
Lets replace Monahan who has averaged near 30 goals and 60 points over last 3 seasons on the top line for Bennett? Give me a break.

If Monahan gets off to his usual slow start this season I have no problem replacing him with Benny, Gaudreau looks like he's on a mission and we don't need him dragged down while Sean finds his legs.

Just this short clip of Dougie's punch from the sights/sounds:
