Post-Game Talk: Flames at Rangers - February 5

[Zil]

Went back and watched highlights this morning. Skjei's pass on Grabner's goal was SO SO freakin' good. If the kid can develop his defense a bit more he's going to be a great D for a long time. Passing on Quickie's goal was also fantastic.

He needs to transfer that vision to his outlet passing. Hopefully it comes along when the game slows down for him in the defensive end.

Just play Clendening AV you stubborn ass.

Ok, now that it's confirmed Staal has the flu, Clendening should be playing, even if it's only for a game. Why play a guy with the flu?

 

[Crease]

I know these guys are all inoculated but why even risk having Staal around the team while he's showing flu symptoms?

Because AV would rather chew on glass than ice an NHL player on defense.

These types of things can spread around a lockerroom even with shots so I hope they take caution.

He was tested as many young guys are at some point and he stood up for himself. His teammates get that.

When Hayes comes back who sits?

Oscar (who plays center on the 4th line)
Pumpel?
Vesey?
Buch?
Fast?

Fast would be the last one to sit. He has quietly evolved into a true 'glue' guy.

Come on, Crease, you know exactly why.

How can you not love the kid?

AV loves him anyway, he's not coming out. Luckily this time one of AV's favs is actually a good hockey player.

I agree that he will not sit but he is a 4th liner on this team.

It's too bad Puempel isn't a Center, he's been better than Lindberg.
