I hear Max Domi is so lazy his pancreas won't even produce enough insulin for him to live, so he has to inject himself with extra.

Did anyone else read that Ruzika feature yesterday? Can't help but root for him now, seems to be very motivated. If he can bust his way in it would be a hell of a story.

Where is it? I’m starting to get a bit excited by him. The Flames are seemingly quite impressed by him.

per the Flames PR twitter account, it is a day off for the players tomorrow

or based off "insider" speculation the whole team has been traded for draft picks.

The boys chirping the media today: "are we in shape yet? Yeah I think we are in shape now."

I think that's Rinaldo at centre ice doing the chirping.

Chirp all you want. But uh, win some stuff while you're chirpping. Back it up.

Strange post, there is context to this "chirpp". The media Try to make stories when there is no story to be made.

Sportsnet needs to do a full-scale investigation into why the lazy Canucks are refusing to use their skates during practice.

Oh I know, sick of that too. But I'd rather see results than hear about them. Freaking modern hockey media sucks. Forced Narratives/"Story lines" and all.

But I also don't belive the Flames players really have a pedestal to call them out just yet either.

The Flames don't have a right to call out the media for being willfully dishonest and opportunistic? Come on. This has nothing to do with their past performances in the playoffs.

No kidding.

Some idiot goes on the radio and "speculates" that some of the Flames players are out of shape and that's why they have been in a different group, and it couldn't be further from the truth. It's irresponsible horse crap. In this day and age people take misinformation like that as gospel and spread it all over the place while never bothering to find out if it's true or not.

Media deserves to be called out for that one.

Reminds me of the Bear Crawl that we would have to do during football practices.

On that note, Brendan Leipsic is surprisingly butch it seems.

Already the unlimited mandatory testing of a large sample without symptoms has shown that the covid infection rate is far higher than what any public heath agency has published

The last report I could find was that as of July 13 46 positive tests on 600 players An infection rate of 7.6 %

The 315,775 positive tests in Florida's 21,480,000 people come to 1.47% infection rate.

You must be working for the Trump Administration. They have not test all 21.48 million people in Florida to show the 1.47% infection rate. The infection rate reported by Florida is 14% and people are questioning the Governor's math. Florida's Governor is also hiding deaths as well by not counting death by snowbirds while in Florida.

I am glad that the NHL is not putting out a list of players that have positive tests just like the health agency doesn't put out names due to privacy laws. It doesn't matter who is positive and negative. The NHL has decided to play games and we will be watching hockey for the excitement and not the newspaper for positive tests.

Way to bring back suppressed memories of having to do that in minor hockey.

Reminds me of the crawl from the local pub back to my apartment after a Flames game before hockey season ended abruptly.
