Throw Frk in there somewhere
I guess Athanasiou plays for them too. And Larkin. Couple other guys, too.

Kronwall still plays, right? They don't have Smith anymore, but they still have Ericsson.
Mike Green is in a contract year, so watch out for him. They also have a guy named Xavier Oullet, and that's pretty cool.

Mrazek or Howard in net.

Another top notch GDT effort by AS.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Here's hoping Lack has a big night.

I do expect the team to protect him well, though, so I don't think he'll have to be outstanding to get the job done.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Need to follow up that big game against the Blues with a beatdown of the Wings at the pizza box. Expecting a followup performance by the third line and a solid game from Eddie. Flames win.

 

[Mobiandi]

Mantha feasted on us last time. Shut him down, and we probably win this one too

 

[Skobel24]

Gonna say the 3rd line does most of the lifting again. Bennett with 2 goals, Janks and Jagr each get 2 assists.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Would like to see the Flames finally hand out a spanking.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

I'll take any kind of ugly win. Gotta get this thing rolling already if we want to be in the division / conference race by Feb/March

 

[Bounces R Way]

Still waiting for this supposed top 5 blueline to dominate another team in our zone. With Lack starting it would be a good if the top 4 stepped their game up.

Third line on the road might not get the gravy matchups they were getting at home, will be interesting to see if they can carry some momentum.

Agreed. They've been really underwhelming both offensively and defensively so far

I'm pretty sure the top pairing has been as dominant as last year. The second pairing needs to gel better and tilt the ice the same way, and then this team will be truly elite.

I finally get to watch a full game - woo-hoo! Go Flam!

 

[herashak]

I love lil Caesars

 

[Lunatik]

I love lil Caesars

Deep deep dish and crazy beead

 

[MDCSL]

Bad effort by Brouwer on that play

 

[Anglesmith]

Oof. Hard lesson for Janko.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

f***

 

[Mobiandi]

Janko got bullied hard there

 

[Anglesmith]

Janko got bullied hard there

Hard to see with the boards, but looked like he made a great play to delay and throw off the pressure, but then lost track of where the puck was and got caught unable to move it.

 

[Bounces R Way]

That one has to go deep Janko.

 

[FerklundCGY]

I wanna like Hamonic. I really do. But he just skated right past that puck and was way too soft on his stick

 

[Calculon]

Some horrid defence but weak all the same. Gillies might be coming sooner than later.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Can’t blame Lack on either goal though.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Ferland !!

 

[Anglesmith]

Goal. Nice.

5 straight for Ferly the Burly.
