GDT: (Preseason) Vancouver Canucks @ Calgary Flames [19:30 MT - SN & SN1]

[Anglesmith]

Although it's not even been 2 periods yet, I can really get behind seeing Tkachuk-Backlund-Czarnik as a line in the regular season

It's tricky, though, because that's going to push Neal or Lindholm further down the lineup than we'd probably want. But yeah, if he keeps this up, how could we argue against that?

Hattrick for Czarnik

Looks like Tkachuk and Czarnik should be a thing with either Backlund or Lindholm as the centre.

Although limited, Lindholm has looked far better with GM than Neal thus far. Maybe Neal can be that veteran mentor for Dube/Bennett and Jankowski?

 

[Anglesmith]

Rasmus looks like an NHLer, too. I think he's going to win that 6th spot.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

As per the roster discussion thread

I like what I've seen from Lindholm thus far with the top line over Neal.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Czarnik
Dube-Jankowski-Neal
Bennett-Ryan-Frolik

That would spread out the offense pretty nicely

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Czarnik
Bennett-Jankowski-Neal
Mangiapane-Ryan-Frolik

Yeah that's the only problem with it but it's a good problem to have and one we haven't had in a while.

My guess would be that Lindholm and Neal will be the top 6 right wingers, but when one of the top 6 players go down, Czarnik will be the first to be promoted to the 2nd line. Even if Backlund or Monahan went down, Lindholm or Czarnik can play center.

 

[Anglesmith]

Lol, the Flames have intentionally played the puck three times already.

 

[Anglesmith]

Dikembe Miktombacks is having none of Boeser's shit.

 

[Anglesmith]

Has James Neal been playing in this game?

 

[Anglesmith]

Has anyone ever seen Prout and Grossman in the same room?

 

[Tofveve]

I like Andersson's play.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I like Andersson's play.

Off topic, but unlike other players with a son surname, Rasmus' father is actually named Anders lol.

 

[Tofveve]

Has James Neal been playing in this game?

He hasn't been very noticeable that is for sure.

 

[Corpus X]

Will he be our Lucic?!!!

 

[Mobiandi]

Last year, Versteeg was the best Flame in preseason before proceeding to be the worst Flame in the regular season.

Preseason doesn't mean much for vets

 

[tmurfin]

After hearing chucky, I’m basically writing this game off for all the China players, if they play good, awesome, if not, meh. Jet lag is brutal sometimes.

 

[Tofveve]

Will he be our Lucic?!!!

Yikes that's a scary thought, but I don't think so

Well Czarnik isn't really a vet vet is he?

Did I just see a commercial for orgasmic cream?!

 

[Anglesmith]

I think he's more referring to Dube.

 

[Corpus X]

Neither do I. I just like playing up the fake exaggerations normally seen on message boards.

Splodge for some today!
