Post-Game Talk: Pre-season Game 5 - Jets at Flames - 8:00 pm CT - TSN3

[Afterburner]

Biggest thing I got from this is Lemieux nickname is Pep.

I would have called him Scrappy Doo

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Pre-season hockey... was a mistake

 

[MardyBum]

Always comes off as a very smart and honest player.

Always interesting to listen to him and Laine talk about their games. They know what they do wrong. Which is nice to hear.

Accountability is a good thing. You can't grow if you don't know.

Seems to me like his confidence is flagging a bit. Sounds like Laine lent him some of his self-motivational tools.

 

[42]

He played last night with Scheifele and Wheeler for the first two periods.

Oh, my mistake then. I thought he didn't suit up.

Pep é Le Mieux perhaps?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

So, I guess 1 Helly, 2 Broissoit it is.

Was there ever any doubt?

 

[HannuJ]

this training camp is pretty boring.
only questions that remain are if Petan and (or?) Dano will be traded or go on waivers

Wasn't supposed to...then KC took a puck up high at practice.

 

[1stDan]

Some think Comrie is the next coming.

V-cash bet that it's neither?

 

[GNP]

I'd like to see Ehlers get his butt in gear--he has been disappointing this preseason. I want to see some of those exciting end to end rushes.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Some think Comrie is the next coming.

Based on what I’ve seen, he appears to be the next going.

 

[GNP]

Looking forward to seeing Brossoit in net for the Jets. I believe this guy is the real deal and will surprise a lot of people. He's the right size, and very fast, and looked great in his first game. Be great to have a "solid" backup for Helle.

Here are Flames projected lines, defence pairings and goaltenders:

FORWARDS
Dillon Dube - Elias Lindholm - Spencer Foo
Andrew Mangiapane - Derek Ryan - Buddy Robinson
Morgan Klimchuk - Mark Jankowski - Garnet Hathaway
Ryan Lomberg - Alan Quine - Anthony Peluso

DEFENCE
Mark Giordano - TJ Brodie
Noah Hanifin - Travis Hamonic
Juuso Valimaki - Rasmus Andersson

GOALTENDERS
Mike Smith
Tyler Parsons

Is Pep gonna challenge Peluso?

Gawd I hope not!

 

[voyageur]

Nah, what that line needs is penalty minutes.

That might be a beauty third line. Lemieux and Roslovic can dig loose pucks, Ehlers can play high in the offensive zone, and gets a chance to work some magic on his off wing.

 

[Jet]

I would have liked to have seen Everberg dressed without the big boys so he could play some top 6 minutes and situations. I've liked him so far and would like to see what he could do in an increased role

I think it is Dano or Lemieux competing for a starting spot. That is Armia's replacement.

Morrow I think has the inside track as the final defenseman.

Not a lot of change from last year. Roslovic replaces Stastny, and the 2nd and 3rd lines are being tweaked. Means last season's foundation is still in place...Ehlers on the 3rd line, with weaker matchups, might catch fire.

You don't dress Peluso and not expect a scrap. Maybe that is why Ustaski is playing. Going to be a scrappy game with the lineups dressed.

Yes Voyageur -- I think you've pretty much hit the nail right on the head with your post, as this is exactly the way I see things shaking out as well.

 

[Board Bard]

Always comes off as a very smart and honest player.

He says the same things so often (e.g., "I'm not skating the way I want to") that I have to wonder why he doesn't just do it instead of talking about it. And this doesn't pertain only to pre-season. Wouldn't be surprised if Maurice is wondering the same thing, even if he is a goof.

 

[KingBogo]

I'm also looking forward to see what this line can do.
