Flames: away from the rink

[Anglesmith]

I've been thinking of creating a thread like this since that thing in Philadelphia where Hudler was at an NBA practice in hockey gear. This thread is to discuss all manner of Flames stuff away from the rink. Funny videos of the player, events they're attending or participating in, neat stories, funny articles etc. There isn't really a place to share it on this forum. I'm going to put this in our sticky mega-thread, because it could easily be buried for a while and then be sought out when the time comes.

To start out with, here's Gaudreau participating at a Hartley hockey camp:

I'm wondering if Hartley noticed it wasn't just another of the kids.

Both those guys are looking significantly larger than last year.

Excited to see how they produce.

Glad Monahan's better at hitting the net with a puck than he is at hitting a shiny bald head with water.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Mony got a tatty. And yeah they both look thick.

That would have looked really funny if it was just Monahan doing the pouring.

 

[Sean Monahan]

isnt Monahan up to 210lbs now? I read somewhere that he plans to play at around 205 this year, which would still up his weight by 20 pounds from last year.

I can't wait

 

[BVicious]

Anyone notice that Colborne has been working his legs?


Neither did I.......

Reminded me of Cris Carter's ice bucket challenge with the rest of the NFL panel.

I'm listening to my first Hartley interview since last season. You know like it make me feel you know like it's hockey season.

I love Hartley for that reason alone

 

[Sean Monahan]

didn't know where to post it but I'm sure some of you read it too. I thought it was cool and perhaps a huge part of our early success.

#Flames lost wheelchair hockey game to Townsend Tigers for 34th straight year, but critics argue Tigers can't maintain shooting percentage.

I guess they were right on the main boards. Flames couldn't maintain this level of play for the whole season.

Does anyone in the world have a better poker face than Sean Monahan?

Thanks!

Doesn't sound too positive though, "After eight consecutive sell-outs, sponsorships are high in demand. We expect the only way in for “rookies†is through sponsorship of the event. Please see attached for our various sponsorship levels."
