I don't think Huska is doing it right recently.

Pospi should be on the first line instead of Sharky.

Sharky instead of Zary, Zary centering Huberdeau and Mantha.

Looks like another L but I will watch this (3am start).

 

[Boomstick]

Wolf should be starting.
Vets should be in the press box.
Youth should be playing and not buried on the 4th line, but here we are.
Go Flames.

The only young player on the 4th line is Klapka and he shouldn't even be in the NHL.

edit: just noticed that Klpaka isn't even on the 4th line. Kirkland is the youngest

I wonder if it’s a slow cook start with vets and then we pull it out of the oven and season with young spices as the season goes on???

Good start was a nice story, but the tank for that top pick is on.

 

[Anglesmith]

I think the Flames are due for one to go their way.

I think the Flames are due for one to go their way.

Well I have Barbashev, Kadri (x2), Rango, Weegar, Hertl on my fantasy teams, so we know they won't do anything.

I also have Pospisil, but I don't have him dressed, so he will probably score 5 goals.

 

[Straight Fire]

Winning in Vegas would be unexpected - go Flams!

 

[hangman005]

I hope both teams have a good time.

 

[Straight Fire]

Call me a baddie bad but Hrudey's calling drives me bonkers a bit

Lame

Pietrangelo just creeping in uncontested in the high slot = automatic goal.

 

[Straight Fire]

He even took an extra second to shoot

 

[super6646]

I'm hoping we are mentoring Zary on the Backs line to be a centre at some point. He's being wasted there rn.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Huska pretty please if you could give Zary some offensive linemates
xoxox thanks

Call me a baddie bad but Hrudey's calling drives me bonkers a bit

How dare you question the Hrudmeister

 

[super6646]

Ya there was never any Huby magic lol. Business as usual on that front.

Zary could have 2A already.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Not trying Zary at C is Bennett level comedy. Guy is electric in the middle of the ice.

Zary is a better winger, but I agree. He's one of the few guys actually carrying the puck effectively.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Bahl brushed him off like a mosquito

 

[super6646]

4th line is dump it in, lose the puck, get hemmed in own zone, rinse and repeat.

Flames need a better 4C than Rooney. Wouldn't mind Rory Kerins there at some point.

Zary is a better winger than Bennett for sure. But he would thrive at C if we give him a year to work on his defensive assignments and draws. If only we had a year where we weren’t going to be competitive….

Also, a lot of players could be successful playing wing with Backs and Coleman which is also weird

If your concern is the 4th line getting hemmed in I don't think Kerins is the answer. For the sake of Kerins development I keep him in the AHL for the full year anyway. Guy never gets looks in training camps so he's clearly not doing something right, either his fitness is bad or his game away from the puck (defence) is bad. Offensively the guy has been fantastic which is the hardest part of the game, so what ever the concerns are with him hopefully he figures it out. He could be another steal of a draft pick.

 

[Straight Fire]

Nice play by them

 

[JPeeper]

Hanley is the new Oesterle, he's not that good. Pachal with the bad giveaway though leads to the goal against.
