This is the perfect time to panic.

Sarcasm or not? Idk actually.

Also we still cool for cuddling?

 

[Calculon]

Going to be "interesting" to see what Ward does with the pairings if Giordano is out for any length of time. Probably finds a way to double shit tank commander Hamonic.

 

[Mobiandi]

The concern really isn't if we're going to be worse without him. It's if he's going to make us worse upon being rushed returned to the line-up at his age

 

[Anglesmith]

The last time Giordano went down with an injury at this point in the season with us in a playoff position, we won a playoff series.

we don’t have the Brodie - Engelland pairing to carry us this time.

I'll quit HF for a month if we make the playoffs.

Well, yeah, what would have to complain about?

Well, yeah, what would have to complain about?

Getting our ass kicked in the 1st round again?

I'd even hold back from that.

Get out of my head.

We hypothetically have a Kylington-Brodie and Valimaki-Andersson pairing, but Ward isn't bright enough to play them 50 minutes a game and bury Hanifin-Hamonic

Assuming Valimaki is still awhile away... seems like we are actually only able to build like 1 viable pairing at the moment. Big oof.

Maybe Hanifin-Andersson could suffice as that Russell-Wideman type 2nd pair though I strongly prefer Valimaki. First key is to pair Brodie with Kylington for 25 a night and start playing with some gosh darn pace.

 

[super6646]

Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Brodie
Stone-Hamonic

At least it would be fun to watch lol

 

[Captain Controversy]

Hopefully Gio is ok , we gotta see a battle of Alberta in the playoffs.
Also the year Gio tore his bicep , Oilers won McDavid. Maybe this time Gio tore his knee and the Oilers win the cup ?

Thanks fam lol

I do not support the idea of spending assets to replace Giordano if he’s out for an extended period.

The Flames may have just become sellers at the deadline.

 

[Mobiandi]

Hanifin-Brodie
Kylington-Andersson
Valimaki-Stone

Honestly Gallant could probably do wonders with this group. It's better than what Vegas had going into the playoffs

This is the way to go. Nothing we can do at the deadline is significant enough to drastically alter our chances.

Sell Hamonic and any other UFAs (probably keep Brodie though). We might limp into the playoffs anyways with how bad the west is. If not then we have a better pick in a strong draft and can make large changes in the offseason.

 

[DFF]

If you are honest, you know Gio hasnt helped the team that much this year.
Losing him may even be better in the long term. We can now tank properly and sell the garbage and players that dont fit long term, Hamonic, Jank, Backlund, Hanifin, Johnny...etc

Hopefully, BT doesnt panic and trade the 1st for short term fix. There is NO short term fix.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I just hope Gio is okay.

 

[Corpus X]

I just hope Gio is okay.

Take your pleasant demeanor and give it to a board that deserves you, you giant piece of dripping thoughtfulness.

 

[Tkachuky]

Someone hold me please.

I got to call you out here.

I need to understand your reasoning as it seems like you love to go make threads on main board about the Flames and they are so appealing to other people (non flames fans) to go in them and shit on the Flames.

I could care less about it being free game but I just want to ask what the reasoning is? You looking for sympathy from Oiler fans? You’re getting the opposite. Look at the Gio thread you made... nice title too.

Just don’t get it. /rant
