Hammer shouldn’t be fighting, he’s too damn valuable to our top 4. That being said, Andersson deserves the nod here.

it depends if Hammer is put on IR. If he's not, we don't have roster space to call up AnderssonIf Prout plays over Rasmus we should fire everyone in management. Can’t have two big slow dummies in the modern game
It’s funny that everyone loved our offseason and yet I feel like we overspent in FA and cut a good player in Kulak to keep two players that aren’t meant for the modern game in Prout and Stone.
According to Eric Francis Andersson is already in Calgary, only sourcing Francis because I haven’t seen anyone else report it so take it for what it’s worthit depends if Hammer is put on IR. If he's not, we don't have roster space to call up Andersson
He got hit in the face in a fist fight which he himself started, that's about as far from a freak injury as you can get in a hockey game.Freak accident.

Surprised he even finished last game. He's a warrior.
We wanted to see Andersson up, but not like this.
We need to make the PP work because even with one of Prout or Peluso in the lineup. Neither are nuclear deterrents to guys like Gudbranson who are a few inches taller, 25 pounds heavier and know how to fight as well.So.
If you're going to be a soft ***** team like Calgary, you have to make teams pay on the powerplay. Nuff said.
If you're going to be a soft ***** team, and not make people hurt on the PP, may as well dress a knucklehead in the lineup.
Think of those prime Canuck teams. All they had were rats and butter soft players (remind you of anyone?); except the Sedins would murder you on the PP. We have either learn how to PP or get more team toughness. It's A or B, there's no middle ground here.

They also make us a worse team by being in the lineup (maybe not Prout he isn't terrible). This team has the players to have a top 15 powerplay but they run the worst formations and don't generate anything through the middle of the ice.
Those don't exist anymore.
I'm just saying, if you're going to be the team that stinks, gets beaten up all night, and still loses on the scoreboard, may as well dress someone who could be a small deterrent. Anthony Peluso is a heavyweight, he's about the same size as Gudbranson.
Thing is. We play in Pacific. There are still dinosaurs out here. I think we should be the team that kills people on the PP, versus the one that has to dress an limited role idiot... but man, we need to figure it out quick.
