[Official] 2015-16 Calgary Flames Roster Thread

[Lunatik]

Interesting fact. This season to date, Matt Stajan has taken more faceoffs than Mikael Backlund and Sam Bennett combined.

 

[Calculon]

 

[Lunatik]

What does that mean?

 

[Anglesmith]

What does that mean?

Means we actually will have an extra skater instead of having exactly 18 on the roster.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

It means there's an important ball game on right now, so

 

[Lunatik]

Means we actually will have an extra skater instead of having exactly 18 on the roster.

I meant the end "attentions might be elsewhere"

This feels like a victory of some kind

 

[Anglesmith]

This feels like a victory of some kind

Wouldn't be surprised if he tries it for a period then gives up if they don't score, though, so lots of pressure.

But realistically, this is only a good thing. That line has huge potential.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler
Bennett - Backlund - Frolik
Ferland - Stajan - Jones
Raymond - Jooris - Bollig

Looks reasonable.

30 Thoughts

19. As Calgary starts slowly, remember the Flames shot 8.9 per cent at five-on-five in 2014-15. That was second-best in the NHL.

It’s early, but they are 22nd so far this season, at 5.8 per cent. And opponents seem determined not to let Calgary kill them with the long bomb, an important weapon from a year ago.

 

[Anglesmith]

Granlund has been sent back down with Colborne's return.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Booo

 

[Oan]

What's the point of yo-yoing Granlund like that? Just give him a decent chance to show that he belongs into NHL lineup.

If you aren't yo-yoing him, you're yo-yoing someone else who's a better hockey players. Might as well give him playing time.

What's the point of yo-yoing Granlund like that? Just give him a decent chance to show that he belongs into NHL lineup.

I think the biggest reason is he's still waiver exempt, as well as having not shown he belongs in an NHL lineup yet.

 

[Lunatik]

Hiller to start Friday. With a new mask?

I am looking forward to the reactions to the defense pairings Hartley is trying out

Giordano - Wideman
Russell - Engelland
Smid/Nakladal - Hamilton

looks like he is just saying **** it and throwing it in a blender

No, I don't think so. This was already tweeted out the day after the Washington game. It makes sense.

Giordano and Wideman have shown great chemistry on the PP, and when put together in the third Giordano instantly looked 10x better. Plus, having a better player with Wideman can only be a good thing.

From there, you have Russell, Engelland, Smid and Hamilton to put somewhere...

Russell and Engelland have been paired together in the past. Having Engelland instead of Wideman allows Russell to use his skating and creativity offensively a little bit more, with Engelland being a true stay-at-home guy.

Moving Hamilton down to play with Smid or Nakladal will allow him to be used against worse competition. Hopefully he can spend more time in the offensive end and less time in the defensive end, hemmed in by the other team's stars. Less responsibility may allow him to showcase the positive aspects of his game rather than the negative aspects which have been highlighted so far on the top pairing.

Just seems funny is all with the way everyone has complained about Wideman that he moves up. I think the 2/3 pairs will play about the same as one another so I think its more a 2a/2b situation.
