Honzo

Thatta boy!

Coronato should absolutely have a spot.

Pelletier hasn’t come close to nailing down a spot. Rooney/Hunt/Duehr all have more established NHL track record and will more easily slide into a 4th line role

Coronato should... but if that's not in the top 9, what's better... 20 minutes in a top line role w/ the Wranglers, or playing 7-8 minutes a night on a line with teh least talent? Especially when he struggled at time in the NHL last year.

Duehr only has more NHL time because he's 3 years older. Hunt and Rooney might be more established, but they've also shown to be waiver fodder and it would be irresponsible to waive a 23 year old Pelletier for either of them. In fact all 3 of Duehr, Hunt and Rooney have been waived and cleared in the past. We're not going to give Pelletier away for free.

He hasn't done anything super flashy but Parekh has been sooooo good at moving the puck this game.

 

[Figgy44]

Was that offside?

Some of the camera angles are weird. Couldn't tell.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Ooooh that was pretty Hunt. Heads up pass by the Bashman
although I think that was offside

Haven't been watching all that closely but he does seem more composed and settled in this one.

Honzek certainly making the case he deserves at least a few games in the NHL. Would make things a lot messier

 

[super6646]

LOL are we about to win?!

He seems like he's in position more, but some of his shots seem a little whiffy? Puck doesn't seem like it's coming off his stick at full power for the movements made.

Honzek has been great this preseason but I think he'd be much better served in the AHL.

 

[Figgy44]

Dammit

 

[Bounces R Way]

Tinordi lol

LOL are we about to win?!

that was your fault

 

[Some Other Flame]

Tinordi is so bad

 

[Figgy44]

Uhh oh. Cooley hurt?

Edit : seems OK

 

[super6646]

Tinordi lol



that was your fault

f***.

Well, good effort by the team regardless. Canucks had no business letting us get an OT pt.

 

[Figgy44]

Pospisil two flubs in a row =\

A learning moment. Improve and move on.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Was that not tripping at the end there? ok then.

Flames youngsters put up a great fight against a veteran canucks team. Probably should've won if not for Tinordi lol

 

[Bounces R Way]

I mean whatever but that was a fairly obvious trip by Hughes was it not?

I'd really rather not watch a full year of Barrie. Or even most of a year.
Morton didn't have the best game but I do like how he battles.
Gridin looks like he has a high skill cap. Skating, hands, shooting, passing.

the replay showed it barely touched him, it was a pretty clear dive.

Perhaps. But pospisil kept losing team of the puck multiple times in OT which didn't help. I liked what pospisil was trying though. I hope he keeps trying those moves and improving on them.

To be fair, lots of players kept losing track of the puck in that first 20-30 seconds of OT. It was a little strange.

 

[Bounces R Way]

mmm no it wasn't, stick directly in the skates.
Think Hunt's goal was offside anyways but no need to make things up.

 

[Three On Zero]

So this Honzek kid, he looks pretty damn good.

i never said he didnt make contact...hughes touched him for sure so it could be called (those are usually called) but it was a quick and light tap, i think the Flame dove when he felt contact. just my opinion.

Lol no. He didn't dive. More likely distracted and lost balance.

From the DOG penalty for flipping the puck over glass when pressured at the end of the third to whiffing the puck several times in 10-20 seconds of the beginning of OT, he seemed like he was just a half a step behind all of those plays and blundering.

He's young, it happens. Probably limited experience in 3 on 3 OT. I hope he learns from this and improves and then makes no mistake when it really matters.

Huska seems to trust him and wants to put him in key situations to learn. That's encouraging.

 

[Figgy44]

So this Honzek kid, he looks pretty damn good.

To think many had written him off only a few months ago. Feels Goodman.

Like finding a $100 bill you'd thought you lost.
