Around the Dome II: Flames hockey-related news and notes

[Janks]

Perron shoots right, but he's a LW. He geberagen hasn't played well when put on the right side

Is that similar to covfefe?

 

[Rangediddy]

I would bet money we sign Jared Boll. Just seems like the type of player we always sign at the beginning of the year

 

[FlamerForLife]

The Yotes traded Hickey's rights + Mike Sislo for Hudson Fasching, so essentially the trade from last summer ends up being Mike Smith @ 25% retained for a 2018 3rd and Hudson Fasching

 

[Rangediddy]

Anyone see these concept jerseys? Sweet sassy molassy those are nice!

 

[Mobiandi]

I feel like there's too much red in the roads and not enough white in the homes

 

[Anglesmith]

Yeah, the roads are a bit too much Ronald and not enough Lanny.

 

[Rangediddy]

You guys are crazy! The only thing I can see wrong with them is the gloves are the same color. I don't know if white or yellow gloves is the answer, but those need a different color profile.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Needs more local administrative area flags.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I'll tell you what those #23 jerseys are missing: character.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Oh baby, those jersey's just ripened my Eggplant.

 

[Lunatik]

I agree. I think it can be fixed very easily though

First, remove the stripes and make the torso and sleeves all red (home) or white (away). then re-apply the stripes using the same striping as the socks.

Also, add white and yellow to the gloves.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Shots fired.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Home openers will be released on Wednesday and the full schedule will be released on Thursday. I think this year we start with an eastern road trip because the Oilers are in Sweden to open the season so we won't open against them for the 3rd straight year.

White mitts with some red on them for away? I think those would look FLASHY.

 

[JPeeper]

Those jerseys are a good start, but I agree there is too much red on the Aways, also Flaming C is slightly too big, but mostly f*** off with the vertical striping on the pants with horizontal striped socks and jersey it looks f***ing stupid.

The greatest ex-Flame name, Hakan Loob, has been named the team's new Head European Scout.

I like it a lot. Hopefully mean's we'll continue to improve our drafting.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not sure why he would leave his job as a GM to be a scout.

 

[Janks]

Not sure why he would leave his job as a GM to be a scout.

Because he wants his name on the cup again and we aren’t hiring a GM

 

[Lunatik]

Welcome back Hakan!

 

[Bounces R Way]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Loob had the best quote on Rasmus in his Swedish accent, “a little unfit, a little bit lazy”.

 

[Volica]

Loob's a hawk in terms of Scandinavian talent. He called Kylington and Andersson's growth pattern the day we drafted them.

He'll be an asset to this team.

Darryl Sutter announces retirement from NHL coaching - Sportsnet.ca

Should the Washington Capitals choose not to hire assistant Todd Reirden to be their coach, they needn’t call to ask about the availability of Darryl Sutter.

He’s finished as a coach.

He kept his house on the beach in California until recently and said last summer he’d consider a return to coaching, "if it was the right situation."

He admitted that situation could have been found close to home had the Flames called this spring when Glen Gulutzan was replaced by Bill Peters.

"I would have listened for sure," said Sutter of a possible return to the organization he spent eight years with.

"Brad (Treliving) made a great choice in Bill, as did Todd (McLellan) in Edmonton, getting Gully to join."

He now insists following a winter of contemplation there’s no situation that could tempt him to leave his ranch to relocate once again with his wife, Wanda, and son, Chris.
