#Flames lines today: Glencross-Colborne-Hudler; Raymond-Backlund-Bouma; Gaudreau-Byron-Jones; Bollig-Stajan-McGrattan

Gonna have to throw a Jones avatar into the GDT!

EDIT: Of course, Monahan might be healthy in time...

I will wait unti game time. I think Money will be ready

 

[Anglesmith]

By the way, Hartley has officially named the Gaudreau-Colborne-Byron line "the tower and the two Timbits."

You know like.

Trojan ads? things popping up and getting spread? The clap?

You guys must have a burning itch for this season to get started.

Me as well but given Hartleys penchant for shuffling lines I don't think it will matter much.

Hiller may be wearing his black mask, btw, because his red one hasn't received official league approval yet.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Masks require approval?

I always getting a burning sensation when I watch Backlund play.

I should see a doctor. Possibly a therapist.

really?

According to Jonas, it's a new thing they've instituted. Masks need to undergo certain testing. His black one has been tested, his red one hasn't.

that is all sorts of stupid. A mask is a mask.

testing would be for safety

"Can it stop a puck?"
"Yes."

 

[Crescent Street]

Really don't understand why Colborne would be slotted as a top line center tonight. Is Backlund not your best Center?

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Backlund is better. He really should be on the top line.

Just the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

 

[Richi]

Go Flames Go!!!

Damn you!

I just finally got over this song and now you have to post it!

 

[GAMO1992]

Hey guys! Look at us! Almost 5 pages more than 6 hours before puck drop!
Go us!

Most helpful post I've ever read. I felt like I was reading a Darryl interview.

I think Hartley is looking for chemistry, and he's also looking to balance lines.

Monahan is slotted as the top line centre. Backlund #2 and Colborne #3. But Monahan has the flu, so if he is unable to dress instead of screwing with 3 lines, they will move Colborne up, Byron over to centre and slot in Jones.

I am kinda surprised they have moved Colborne back to C. Are they maybe hoping to spread our size throughout the lineup? Did Colborne work on his draws in the offseason?

They've always wanted Colborne as a centre because they believe in big bodies in the centre position, and speedier guys on the wing. That's what I've been able to discern from interviews, anyway.

We were in the same grade 4 class together and I think Tegan was in my grade 5 and 6 class (if it wasn't, then it was Sara). We were also in the same high school too. It's really exciting to see people you grew up with make it big.

Haha nice. How could you not remember which one was in your class.
