GDT: Flames @ Sharks, 8:30 MT, Game Day Nap Edition

Please don't re-sign Hamonic, or if you do get him at a discount and play him on the third pairing.

As much as I dislike Stone, I'd take a below $1 mil Stone every day over a discounted $3mil Hamonic. Even then Hamonic is in his supposed prime and looking for one more big payday so I'm sure someone will overpay him in free agency. Like he sucks, but I am sure he'd get $5 mil a year from someone dumb.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Rinaldo is the answer

Honestly, isn't Rinaldo basically Ferland with a worse shot? He hits, he skates, he creates room. If he worked on his shot just a bit, it'd basically be the Johnny-Mony-Ferland line all over again.

On another note, my boy Ras looking beast tonight. Hanifin looking good when not with Hammer. And Rinaldo really trying to keep a spot (I honestly wouldn't be mad if we re-signed him for another 1 year 800-850k contract, which would be a slight raise from his 700k this year). Rinaldo has actually impressed me when he's in the lineup.

Wtf? No, he's not. Even if you took his blast of a shot away, Ferland was a skilled player who made nifty passes and protected the puck. He fit perfectly with those two for his actual offensive skill.

Let's not overrate Zach Rinaldo here.

Rinaldo provides an occasional spark but he is not a regular. Same with Reider. If you look further same with jankowski and lucic.

Ferland on the other hand is a much better player but he tends to disappear in long stretches.....I would say mangipanne and Dube are closer to him in performance, not style at this point. Good players but inconsistent.

 

[DCDM]

Lmao that’s amazing. Dude oozes skill.

Looks like a great game by the guys last night. Every highlight looked like they were chasing down pucks and out-competing the Sharks in just about every area. Love to see it.

 

[Kranix]

God bless you boys. Peppered a bad team. That's what you gotta do.

 

[Rubi]

Great game. Glad I watched.
Great game by Lucic. Personally I don't think he's as slow as everyone complains he is.
Monahan sure is snakebit. One of these games the floodgates will open.
Buttonhook Johnny.... same old same old. He needs a new act. Totally predictable.
Another awesome goal by Tkachuk.
BSD is back. Calgary's D played better than I expected. I like the Hanifin-Andersson pairing.
Kudos to Reider and Renalto. They stepped up big.
I feel like I'm at the Oscars where there just isn't enough time to thank everyone. I slept well last night. It was nice going to bed happy instead of pissed off.

he is, but he had a good game.

Hanifin-Ras top line tonight:

24:54 and 20:20
both +2
Hanifin 2 points, Ras 1 point

Please no more Hamonic with Hanifin.

Music to my ears

The only sad part was that Sam didn't get to take part. He's going to get traded isn't he?

He got the flu from Kylington.

I'd like to think that Rinaldo = Ferland with a worse shot should be obvious sarcasm (that is about a bad a take as Bennett being better than Monahan). It's obviously not something you do more than a couple shifts in a game (or maybe even a whole game if Lindy is centering his own line, because we have no RW depth).

 

[Flames Fanatic]

He got the flu from Kylington.

Could be worse. Hox got Mono from Kylington.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

All I know is we haven't seen play like this from Lucic since Iginla. He is going to carry us into the playoffs.

It's almost like we have a guardian angel looking over us.

Dang, I never knew the Bruins had 2 Iginlas.

That’s racist

 

[InfinityIggy]

That’s racist

I can’t possibly be racist, for I own an Iginla jersey.

 

[Dack]

The HCanes are offering a first for a top 4 d man. I wonder how they'd feel about a slightly used Hamonic.

This post makes me feel kinda funny, like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.
