Butlers last game as a Flame. Book it.

I know everyone is watching #53 non stop....but you have to be impressed by Byron. I think he is a key piece moving forward.

JG is older than Monahan. Classic.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Sean thought he was older than John. But John is 20, and Sean is 19. That's so funny.

I remember the day Burke came as said we have to get bigger especially on the bottom 6. I looked at the lines and was like "Byron is done. Cya." From that day on he picked up his game and has got better every game. He has earned a spot on this team.

Who? But yeah Byron has really impressed me this year.

Lords do not care of the opinions of GM's.

for those saying gaudreau needs to add weight, i'd just caution you that he may not have the body type to do so. i honestly don't know. i'm sure they wanted him to bulk up a bit at BC too but it just didn't happen. bears watching.

thanks for providing commentary on the two eagles thus far!

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Man, our roster is huge tonight.

John Gaudreau - 5'8" 155
Paul Byron - 5'7" 160
Kris Russell - 5'10" 170
Jiri Hudler - 5'10" 180
Chad Billins - 5'10" 180

Are we the Habs?

Truculence has no size restrictions

 

[Anglesmith]

When you think of Brian Burke, you think of a line like Byron-Arnold-Gaudreau.

 

[Calculon]

Should switch Hudler and Byron out. Or Arnold and Stajan. The Gaudreau-Byron-Arnold line was pinned in their own zone a few times.

Edit: And it looks like Hartley's already switched lines.

Everyone knows it stops at 5'10

 

[Trae]

Gaudreau on top line, oh baby

 

[DCDM]

Everyone knows it stops at 5'10

Lord Byron cares not for your petty rules.

 

[johnnystormcgy]

I've never felt like a mother hen, watching a flames game. But I do today lmao

 

[MuffinMerc]

Lord Byron cares not for your petty rules.

He's not even tall enough to be a stormtrooper.

 

[Taranis]

Go Westgarth

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Westgarth and Butler. Goodbye.

Tonight, we are all Mrs. Gaudreau.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Westgarth supports the tank. Way to go Westy!

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Westgarth, just fight someone or something. Stay off the ice.

Byron is the type of player that only gets decent ice time on a poor team.

He's not a bad player per se, but he has no place on an elite team.

Not good enough to play meaningful minutes on the top 6 for a contender, and isn't enough of a banger to play a bottom 6 role on a good team.

He's the opposite of a "key piece" moving forward.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Is anyone else impressed with Gaudreau's defensive play in his own end. He knows exactly where to be, his head is always on a swivel and he reads the play so well. His hockey IQ really is so good.

He's been surprisingly good defensively.
