San Jose will take the conference. Flames second with Sutter bringing the D back.

yeah, i think fleury will be surprised how hard and fast the game has become. i don't think he really has it in him. and these pre-season games are nothing compared to how it gets. :>

Always loved Fleury, but it just seems so unrealistic. What makes him special compared to your typical 30 year-old. Especially when you look at his last NHL season.

I don't agree with this too old thing you always hear in sports. I'm faster, stronger and have the same first step quickness (at things like tennis and ball hockey) at 44 as I did at 20, but I haven't really been banged around(never had a broken bone).

But someone said Fleury was smoking as of a year ago. Stress (food, vices, laying around, posting online, lack of vigorous exercise) adds up to physical middle age. Avoid it!

I hope he goes to Abbotsford ,20 min down the highway too harass that little alcoholic when the Heat play the Moose will make for a nice evening..how can we have our most hated rivals farm team in our backyard?..f#ck the Heat! games vs the Moose will feel like a road game..i can smell the cow **** already...Graham James will become mayor and the sheep farmers will need to hide their stock

Didnt see last nights game, but from what I have seen, if the Flames sign him, Abbotsford is his destination.

In all honesty if he goes to Abbotsford ill go watch him for sure,even if it isnt against the Moose,the guy had a stellar career for a little ****,gotta give him credit plus he played for Team Canada unlike Bourque and Hull..F#ck i hate Bourque!

Well Fleury got his last hurrah and we release our potential third top scorer... got a little scared with how the media was raving that he was actually going to make the team

my sister and brother-in-law think it was all a ploy. get reinstated so that he can retire from the NHL and be elligible for the hall of fame and get his jersey retired etc. maybe even have a pension kick in or something. instead of being in limbo indefinitely suspended. or maybe he really thought he could compete. maybe some other club will take a chance on him as a fourth liner, you never know. :>

Yeah heard that theory as well, makes sense to some degree.

No chance he could make the top 6 forwards in Calgary. Maybe in Vancouver, he could play with the twins and be the guy in the corner. Ha...

Should be interesting to see how the return to Defense first works this season for Brent Sutter and the Flames.

McGratton has also said he wants to lead the league in fighting majors this year.... fine by me after having to put up with Roy last year... Prust shouldnt be scrapping guys like Hordichuk and MacIntyre.. just have to wait for his shoulder to completely heal

Prust should be taking his beatings like a man from Rypien and Bieksa ,Hordichuk should be fighting McGratton, which would be a good fight McGratton is a good fighter..
