Go Flames. Beardless Bennett is going to be a monster.

Go Flames. Beardless Bennett is going to be a monster.

18(plus 3)-year-old Beardless Bennett? Sounds about right.

 

[Calculon]

You know what would be really nice? If the powers that be brought back the ability to ignore threads

 

[Lunatik]

Glad to see Bennett getting a more capable RW in Ferland. Swap Versteeg and Gaudreau and the lines would getting closer to ideal. But pairing Bennett and Ferland is a step in the right direction.

TIL I learned Ferland is more capable than Jagr

Seriously, do you even believe half the garbage you spew?

Would that be a first or third line?

 

[Tofveve]

Go Flames!

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I’m interested to see if Benny and Ferland can get each other going

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys, if you feel like flaming each other please be aware that you will be the lucky receiver of 5 infraction points. I have deep pockets, so I won’t be running out of points to hand out.

Jagr is certainly better offensively, but I like Ferland's speed and puck carrying ability more for a winger for Bennett.

But in terms of that post, I was referring to Troy "boat anchor" Brouwer, who I was expecting to be put there when I heard Jagr was put on the top line.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

It would be great to have Gaudreau on your third line

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

So Lindholm vs Bennett. It begins...

 

[DFF]

So Jagr can not help our man Bennett?

Your mother smells of elderberries.

This intro song is hype.

Swear they've been using the same one since like 2008

HERE WE GO.

Followed by everyone's favorite... George Gorge.

 

[Anglesmith]

First Flames game I've gotten to watch in a while. Very excited.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I think that's the plan long term, but Gulutzan is still waiting for a big game from Ferly before he goes to that hard forechecking top line. Getting Gaudreau's line going consistently at ES is priority number one even if it comes at others' expense - and the Gaudreau-Monahan line has not been very good overall so far.

FWIW Versteeg-Bennett-Jagr has been a strong line with a very average 53.85% zone start rate. They've posted +11.31% Rel CF and +9.85 Rel xGF% and while they haven't scored any goals, they haven't allowed any either - so it's just a matter of when not if.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Of course Tkachuk misses the net. It was almost a Bennett point.

 

[Anglesmith]

Good start!

 

[Lunatik]

Churros!

 

[Anglesmith]

Ugh. Bartkowski throws a grenade at Gaudreau and we waste the shift.

 

[Mobiandi]

Watch jooris score tonight

 

[InfinityIggy]

Monahan would've buried that shot.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Monahan would've buried that shot.

Too bad we're not smart enough to play Monahan at wing where he could bury that shot
