GDT: Flames @ Panthers in a Saturday matinee (2 p.m. MT/Sportsnet)

[Kahvi]

Push for playoffs starts. Trade deadline is over, and just like previous years, Flames added some depth Dmen for the push, but didn't do much else.
Remains to be seen if the results are different this time

Oh, and the game is on basic cable here, do need to use random streams this time.

I'd like to see another win.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Let's keep the dream alive!

 

[Anglesmith]

If we're going to win games post TDL, we might as well win all of them.

That said, Florida seems to be a tight defensive team, and that has been a challenge for Calgary to match up against all year. I expect a difficult game.

Think Steinberg mentioned we need to hit something like 14-5-1 if we want to stand a chance... Tough but possible.

If we can secure a point today, I would be pleased plus a goal on a PP from Miro.

Let's go

Anyone have the lineup ?

I’m playing in a volleyball tourney today, but hope the flames win, and chuckle gets a knuckle sandwich

Anyone have the lineup ?

I'm sure Huska does

I don't think the depth defensemen were for a playoff push. I think it's because we see potential in them becoming more.

As @Fig has mentioned with his "buddy system" theory, they seem to be balancing the number of offensive defensemen with defensive ones.

Kylington/Pachal
Okhotyuk/Miromanov
Grushnikov/Brzustewicz
Poirier/Solovyov
Morin/Kuznetsov

Although Jurmo & Boltmann are defensive types too, but they may not get contract offers.

A certain amount of sarcasm, with a reference to previous GM, was included in that message.

A good underdog sports movie. One of my favourites.

 

[Boomstick]

I was quite impressed with our showing in Tampa the other night. Not sure I am expecting the same, but I hope so. I think this one could be a chippy affair.

Also thought this was interesting.

 

[Lunatik]

I shaved my beard last night... so if we start losing, I'm sorry

 

[Bounces R Way]

I expect a total shit flinging f*** fest of a hockey game. Panthers are a ratty team. With all the new guys a spicy fight filled afternoon could be good for team unity.

Wonder how much money Hubes has on the board for this one. Would love to see him stick it to em again in their rink.

 

[Kahvi]

Less than 2 hours till puck drop, and still no expected line ups.

I don't think we usually get them for afternoon games.

We only have 12 active forwards, so we know who they will be, so teh only question is defense. Okhotyuk I don't think has joined the team yet, but it looks like Miromanov could step in as he was paired with Kylington in practice yesterday, and based on recent play I'd guess Pachal and Hanley will be teh 3rd pair.

I have watched so few games this season, so I have no idea what to expect, with all the trades to add to that.

@crazyfisherman where did yu hear Conroy say we papered Coronato and Pelletier to the Wranglers? I'm not doubting you, just surprised that it's not showing on the AHL transactions page.

He talks about it in his press conference yesterday after the TDL

I only watched the 7 minute interview on the flamestv podcast haha, figured it'd have all the info with less redundant questions, shows what I know lol

 

[Deen]

Just stay out of the box and we can win. Let the inevitable Bennalty(s) sort it out.
