No Backlund? Why even bother.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Feels like an audition for #6/#7 defenseman tonight.

 

[Mobiandi]

Rittich is gonna get no playing time other than half of that split squad, then...

Least Tkachuk is finally ready

 

[Anglesmith]

Last chance to impress for some of these guys, I think. Big game for Wotherspoon, Kulak and Foo.

 

[Snakepit]

4 - Tyler Wotherspoon
26 - Michael Stone
42 - Juuso Valimaki
44 - Matt Bartkowski
54 - Rasmus Andersson
61 - Brett Kulak

Definitely a test for that last D spot. Should be a hard test too, because here's the Jets forward lineup

Also, I hope they pair Tkachuk with Monahan tonight, if for no other reason just to fuel the "Who centres Gaudreau" debate even more

 

[FlamesFan18]

Not that it would work but does anyone know if the Flames or Jets are streaming this?

Not that I've seen. Only on TSN3 in the Jets region

 

[Tkachuky]

Thanks, I will find a stream.

Likewise! Surprised the FLames would not stream all preseason games. I would guess it comes down to some business agreements.

 

[Rangediddy]

Projected lines:

Tkachuk-Monahan-Foo
Poirier-Jankowski-Hathaway
Cramarossa-Hrivik-Lazar
Gazdic-Dube-Lomberg

Wotherspoon-Kulak
Valimaki-Andersson
Bartkowski-Stone

Lack

I'm excited to see the top two lines. And nothing else really. And by "see", I mean watch 45 seconds of highlights tomorrow.

Lack

I wonder, is there any realistic chance Lack could start in the AHL?

 

[BigRangy]

I'm gonna laugh when Stone looks horrible and people are calling for Andersson to get that last RD spot over him

Why?

 

[Mr Snrub]

This game could be to determine that. Gillies has really not looked bad at all.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Why?

For the same reason people were wanting Kulak to be waived for Kylington.
Then Kylington gets sent down.
For some they get more out of posters getting worked up than actually cheering for the team.

 

[Mobiandi]

Unless Lack monumentally ***** the bed tonight, he'll be with Calgary on opening night

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Please do not post or solicit links to illegal game streams.

 

[Wish You Were Here]

I found the game scheduled on Shaw channel 351 - SportsNet

Happy we're seeing Tkachuk with Monahan tonight, it's about the only bright spot on the roster.

Hoping we see at least 1 (or more) of Wotherspoon, Rasmus or Valimaki really step up tonight so the Flames can jettison Bartkowski into the sun.

Doubt.

I think he is given the Brian Elliott playoff treatment. All the rope in the world to hang himself. Once GG'd, he will be sent to wherever permanently. (Trade, AHL, Europe etc.)

That being said, most of our other goalies have seen similar treatment.

Bart's skating IMO is hands down better than the others when I watch him. This annoys me to no end. I do think Barts should be sent down for TSpoon and Kulak, but visually, that's a huge facet that sticks out.

 

[BigRangy]

Why?

Because people won't realize that it will be almost entirely because he's bailing out Bartkowski.

It is impossible to play well beside him.

 

[Tofveve]

Go Flamesish.

 

[djpatm]

Yeah not good that they're putting Bartkowski with Stone tonight, seems he has the leg up on the competition.

I'd rather he start as the #7 and put Wotherspoon, Valimaki or Andersson with Stone. Kulak has sucked.

 

[FlamerForLife]

Go Flams.
