Calgary Flames, 2021
Well, training camp has kicked off, the season is scheduled to start next week, and the provinces have approved the North Division.
Also have our first helmet ad sponsor, Scotia Bank. Pretty non-intrusive IMO:

Thought I'd throw out my line prediction. Rumor has it that Ward is going to switch things up this year.
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Tkachuk
Mangiapane - Monahan/Backlund - Leivo/Backlund/Monahan
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
Nordstrom - Ryan - Simon
Giordano - Andersson
Valimaki - Tanev
Hanifin - Kylington/Mackey/Nesterov
Markstrom
Rittich
I hope they give Leivo and Valimaki a decent shot. Mainly Valimaki, really don't want to see him playing on the 3rd pairing with Michael Stone or something.

I want to care, really I do. But I'm just not feeling it. Training camp and season starting in January has me completely indifferent. That, and the crap they pulled during the abortive playoffs, cancelling games because black olives matter. Maybe I will start to care at some point.

I can't wait, lets go already. Wasn't sure about the all Canadian division to start but will be fun I think.
Seeing different line combos for training camp today, sure makes me think some changes to start for sure.
Agree on Valimaki, give him a solid pairing and see what he can do. Man I hope he can stay healthy.
Can't wait to see Tkachuk rattle some cages, I bet he is chomping at the bit. Hasn't P****d anyone off in a long while.
Go Flames.

You're an evil man Bessie. Keep it up and I may start caring again. At least enough to win more bets with you. I was reading about young Connor today, had a good laugh.

I wasn't a fan of the cancelled games and stunts they performed last year either. My solution is to not directly give them money, no tickets, merchandise, TV, etc. I'll still watch the odd game, chirp in here when they win, be busy at work when they lose (10-0 is probably not going to happen, maybe 8-2), and participate in 58th's pool though.

Send it, I will wear it. My sense of humor hasn't suffered too much from Covid. I may have one of my own made, the one where Kassian gets his helmet knocked clean off by the kid....

You chucky lovers, should thank Kass for making a man out of him for you!
I'd love to see the chucky bros have a tilt. I think Brady would come out on top.

Is that supposed to be a serious question? Short answer, hell yes. I'd even throw in the requisite bag of pucks.

I hope so, but I cannot see it happening within the same division.

I think we would have to throw in Killington. I would rather have PLD from Columbus.

I don’t think it kicks in until next year. We have this year to trade him.
If Mony has to go . I would still do it.
