tonights game is on CF.com per the Flames gameday tweet a couple hours ago... but it might be on Amazon Prime some places? I saw someone ask about it on Reddit... so f***ed if I know.

Keep in mind the organization is more familiar with Pelletier than many others, so we don't know what his "assignment" is this preseason. The preseason isn't just about playing the best, it's also about working on certain aspects of your game. For instance, if the coaching staff has asked Pelletier to focus on his defensive play and not worry about offense, he'd be playing a quieter and less noticeable game to the fans. We see this every year.I keep thinking that Pelts won't be good enough to make the team but he'll be given a roster spot anyways because the Flames don't want to expose him to waivers.
Hopefully he plays well enough tonight to change my mind.
Hopefully that assignment will be to shoot the puck more.Keep in mind the organization is more familiar with Pelletier than many others, so we don't know what his "assignment" is this preseason.

A good thing to remember and preseason is pure rookies like Honzek have to go balls out to show something. Veterans it's about timing and getting into game shape. The guys in the middle, they'll be asked to work on little things in their game. Like it's obvious Solovyov and Grushnikov have been working on being more physical.
I would rather he be a guaranteed defensively reliable forward than a Daniel Sprong any day of the week.Hopefully that assignment will be to shoot the puck more.
I don't know about you but those 9 shots on goal in 13 games last year was pretty damn disappointing... to me anyways.
