I like the Mason H concept, personally. But yeah the horsehead is pretty cool.

Thanks for the updates. Also heard Horak looked good.

Rumour going around that the 3rd jersey main colour will be yellow.

I really hope the new 3rd jersey is Black, a gunmetal back like the BC lions did this year would look real good.

I like all the competition for spots this year, things are looking good!

Those ones from Stephen G remind me a lot of the Vancouver "V" jerseys..

Yea that'd be cool. I would like a blue flame on that base as well. Enough yellow and red if you're going to try something different. Hell, CGY is a gas and oil city, blue flame makes sense to me.

Colin, you forgot to add the yellow out door jersey to the list/pictures. I hated them at 1st but they've grown on me.

How so? They are orange on dark blue. I'm talking a propane coloured blue flame on black, or dark grey as was suggested. That'd be sharp

Yea its fine. Its too much of the same old....

I'm just talking the 3rd jersey here anyway, not a complete change.

So a quick off topic question. Where is Vetter? 4 days since his last blog and 2 days into camp. Old habits?

Game 1 today was a spirited affair... complete with some raised tempers and a couple of minor skirmishes after the whistle. Team Peplinski came away with the victory after goals from Hudler and McGrattan. And Berra posted yet another complete game shutout

The pairing of Baertschi and Hudler were buzzing all game, and had numerous quality scoring chances. Granlund was ok, but not great as their center, and was replaced by Galliardi about halfway through the tilt. Galliardi was surprisingly effective in the role and was also ver strong in the faceoff circle throughout... unlike Granlund who may not have won a single draw in the 50 minutes of play.

Bouma and Poirier also both played strong games going hard to the net and creating havok in front of Karri Ramo. Bouma even drew the ire of SOB on one occaision and the two had to be separated by the officials before play could resume.

On the other side of the ice all three centers had especially strong games. Monahan and Knight both look comfortable and at ease playing alongside and against NHL competition, and Backlund seemed to be all over the ice every time he was on. All three players generated good offensive opportunities for their linemates and were noticeably strong defensively as well. Knight took a hard slapshot to the ankle on a shot block with about 15 minutes left, and hobbled off the ice on one foot but didn't miss a shift so hopefully that means he's ok.

Cammalleri and David Jones both also looked much better today than yesterday as their line controlled the puck well and generated a number of good scoring opportunities although they were ultimately unable to beat Berra who played another strong albeit unflashy game
