GDT: Preseason game #5 - Flames @ Jets 6:00 pm TSN

[JGaudreau]

Ruzicka is the only Flames player I think making a difference. Seen more promise out of him than I ever have with Jankowski. Gotta think Ruzicka is breathing down Janko's neck hoping to take his spot at this point.

Similar build, same position but Ruzicka can actually forecheck.

Don't think he's quite ready. If he has a good season in the AHL he could steal a spot soon enough.

I’m a big Ruzicka fan but I think he spends this year in the AHL, maybe gets a game or something this season. He’s been good for sure though.

Jankowski seems to be struggling, if he starts as a negative possession player right off the start of the season I could see Ruzicka getting a chance a month or two in, him or Dube.

I missed the first goal. Was it stoppable?

Not really, but it was a godawful rebound from a simple point shot. Brodie could've gotten to it sooner, but yeah it wasn't great.

He hasn't looked bad since then, but he needs to do better with the rebounds.

Saved through a screen. Brodie and MacDonald allowed Roslovic to get to the slot untouched and weren't even in the same zip code to try and clear the rebound.

He was heavily rumoured to be part of the Kadri deal that fell though. Wouldn’t shock me if the Flames moved on from him.

 

[JPeeper]

I love Ruzicka's game, but he needs a year (or two) in the AHL to build his game and consistency. I think he's the future, not Jankowski (I keep him for PK ability maybe).

 

[super6646]

Hope Kylington makes the team. He has paid his dues and looks better than MacDonald and Stone (and not just on the ice either ).

He was apart of it because the Leafs would have needed a C coming back in return.

If they can get Lindy to C, he's moving to the wing 100% at this point.

Yes. It shows that he is expendable though.

Just curious if the TSN Winnipeg broadcast is blacked out in Calgary like it usually is? I don't subscribe to TSN.

Fantastic news everybody!!!!

I just made and ate a pork dip sandwich and it was amazing.

Back to hockey.

If we add a better center, yes. But that could be said about almost anyone

Yes, it's blacked out. TSN doesn't own national rights, or rights for the Flames region.

But it is on the center ice free preview

 

[Corpus X]

I'm watching it on 621 shaw. It's TSN and I don't have the sports package. Also, I don't pay for cable so I don't complain.

 

[Rubi]

I have Telus but couldn't find a free preview of the game on the NHL channels. Had to resort to other means.

That's because Telus is a PHONE company! Try watching it off your phone!

We debatably have better centres internally already which no you can’t say about everyone.

 

[Calculon]

Rieder will never score again

I prefer to watch it n my 65" tv. All is good

 

[Rubi]

PP sucks.

Seriously total weaksauce though this pre-season.
