GDT: Chicago Blackhawks @ Calgary Flames. Soon in every time zone

[Kahvi]

The Flames skated Friday morning at the Scotiabank Saddledome in the following formation:

Forwards

Jonathan Huberdeau - Nazem Kadri - Andrei Kuzmenko
Blake Coleman - Mikael Backlund - Matt Coronato
Yegor Sharangovich - Connor Zary - Jakob Pelletier
Kevin Rooney - Walker Duehr

Defence

Kevin Bahl - Rasmus Andersson
Joel Hanley - MacKenzie Weegar
Jake Bean - Brayden Pachal
Tyson Barrie - Daniil Miromanov

Goaltenders

Dan Vladar
Dustin Wolf

Note: forwards Ryan Lomberg and Martin Pospisil each took maintenance days and were absent from Friday's practice.

I'd put Lomberg on the 4th line, of course, and Pospisil to 1st line. Kuz can go to waivers or eating popcorn

I don’t know what to expect here but I do expect Jason Dickinson to score against us.

Good afternoon gang.
Hope you're all on holidays now. I retired February 2023, so life is a holiday for me.
But I had two major losses in my life this year, so unfortunately I'm not in much of a Christmas spirit due to grief and missing them.
I will spend Christmas dinner at my brother's since I never married or had kids.
Anyways, hope we beat Chicago today, that would be nice.

Sorry to hear it wasn't a good year mate but hopefully the C of red can entertain you. Have a nice Christmas, I am sure it will be lovely surrounded by your family And now flaky Dan in net today so we have a chance. I will be driving to pick up my bro in law from the airport so will be on the radio. Have a few and take it easy

I've been making a nicely engraved, bordered surface for puzzles for my mom today for Christmas, she'll be with me at my place (dad passed away in 2018).

We'll see what I can catch this afternoon as I keep getting pulled away to do stuff.

Glad Wolf is in, let's see what happens! A win could keep me delusional about our place in the standings. Of course not, but pleasantly sort of. Lol.

Go Flames!

Wolf is playing, good.

I totally thought he was going to get one there early

 

[Bounces R Way]

Pelletier goal Santa please
Also if Pachal wanted to beat up somebody that would be agreeable.

Sorry to hear about your losses. Hopefully your spirits will be lifted a little with a win today.

Or at the very least, Rasmus scores first!

Hawks player clearly threw the stick in the air. Should have gotten 2 for embellishment.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Huberdeau!!!!!

 

[Kahvi]

Huberdeau scoring a SH goal is not something I would have expected to see this season
