GDT: Preseason gm #7 Flames @ Jets 6:00 pm on CalgaryFlames.com

[Rubi]

We get to see newcomer Radim Zohorna tonight as he plays LW with Ruzicka and Coleman. Backlund gets the night off. Weegar finally gets to play with Tanev and Sutter split up the Hanifin-Andersson pairing. Stone draws in again. Will he score again? Vladar gets the nod as the starting goalie.
Go Tyler! Prove all those doubters wrong and that you do deserve to play on the 1st line.!

This is pretty close to our actual lineup!

Happy to see Stone in again.

Milano and Eakin not playing tonight. Does this mean that Darryl has seen enough? Honestly I'm a bit surprised that Ruzicka is in the lineup. Does this perhaps mean Sutter wants to see more? Valimaki not playing. I suspect he's done like dinner.

 

[Rubi]

The only experienced players on the Jets roster that won't play tonight are Pierre-Luc Dubois, Jansen Harkins, Nate Schmidt, Brenden Dillon, Blake Wheeler, and Connor Hellebuyck. Also not in the line-up are Johnathan Kovacevic and Kyle Capobianco.

Winnipeg's line-up is expected to break down like this:

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Barron-Lowry-Appleton
Perfetti-Toninato-Lambert
Maenalanen-Gustafsson-Gagner

Morrissey-DeMelo
Stanley-Pionk
Samberg-Heinola

Winnipeg is 2-1-1 in the preseason, but haven't played a game since Saturday's shootout loss to Edmonton.

Hanifin on the 3rd pairing seems about right. Once Kylington is back, we really ought to move Noah for a RW

Awful take

 

[BRobMint]

That Kadri line good

 

[Bounces R Way]

that ref taking down Zads

 

[super6646]

We're going to wish we traded Tofolli by midseason. Still contend it was a stupid trade.

 

[super6646]

What was Tanev doing lol

 

[Fig]

Hi wolf

 

[BRobMint]

Brutal turnover by Dube

 

[Mitts]

Wolf doing his best impression of a Roberto Luongo size 5 hole.

 

[Rubi]

They say you learn more from failure than success.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Think we might be in for a rough first 10-15 games boys

 

[BRobMint]

Welp. We suck

 

[Mitts]

I have to keep reminding myself that this is preseason. No need to panic.

 

[super6646]

Man I keep hearing about Tofolli needing more time, like he had that one season in Montreal too even!

Christ its obvious the line doesn't work! Can't wait to go 30 games through this bs trying to see him "sort it out".

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Think we might be in for a rough decade boys

FTFY

 

[Mobiandi]

Awful take

Knew it was coming. I don't normally really pick out opinions of other posters, but this crusade you have against Hanifin is odd, especially considering he has more than outperformed his contract and is a bonafide top 4d.

I'd worry more about that invisible top line and the fact we are playing waiver fodder on our third line, rather than Noah Hanifin.

Why? Because Stone is the foundation of the team's offence? Ha. Allow me to quote the bible:

"And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock" Matthew 7:24-7

Start planning the parade fellas

I continue to dislike Toffoli with the top line - he needs a distributor from the middle of the ice and Kadri fits that bill. The top line also needs more energy and pace. I’d swap Toffoli and Dube.

Glad I'm not the only one seeing it

 

[JurassicTunga]

Get us another top 6 forward, Brad.
