Around the Dome II: Flames hockey-related news and notes

[Unlimited Chequing]

Yeah I think that's a great idea actually. Let's players know what they can and cannot get away with.

Flames' Sean Monahan flying under the radar as one of Canada's elite players - Sportsnet.ca

Don't care for Francis but good to see Sportsnet make some time between their love for the Leafs and give MONEY his dues.

They’re not entirely similar situations but ultimately something needs to get done here... at this point I honestly have no idea what it’s going to look like. Neither side seems interested in having a productive conversation and the owners will wear some serious egg if they start back peddling on their demands.

Hope they figure it out.

Why would they owners have egg on their face and not the city? We all know that the end result will be somewhere in the middle between the city and team offers.

Good article on the current Flames who were on the Heat last season

 

[FlamerForLife]

These next 6 games coming out of the break are huge, 5/6 of the games are against San Jose, Anaheim x2, Chicago & Minnesota, all teams are ahead of us but within 3 points, hopefully we can pick up as many points as possible in those games.

 

[Mobiandi]

We need to win 4 of those so we'll probably only win 2 and lose 1 in the SO

 

[Flameshomer]

I think the next 4 games will define the team. If we're as weak as we've been so far this season, the flames will fall out of contention and I think we should start thinking about the future again. Gulutzen's job is absolutely on the line if he fails to get this roster going over this weekend.

There's the SO loss. My guess is we'll beat Chicago and Minny but lose the rest

Frolik out week to week with a broken jaw.
Magnificent time imho.

Didn't see it anywhere else, but Hrivik, Mangiapane and Lomberg have all be sent back to Stockton during the off week.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

They were speculating on the radio that Hrivik would be the one to be recalled. I have to say, I liked what I saw.

Since I suspect Jagr, Frolik and Versteeg will all still be on IR when the break returns I think we will see at least 2 recalls. I think we see Mangiapane and Hrivik called back up for sure. If they recall a 3rd, I think it might be Klimchuk over Lomberg.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Frolik is still weeks away I heard.

 

[Mobiandi]

Mangiapane and Hrivik are back up with the team

 

[Skobel24]

Mangiapane and Hrivik are back up with the team

I hope they actually play Hrivik soon.

 

[Calgareee]

I hope they actually play Hrivik soon.

He played in their last game I believe...

 

[Ace Rimmer]

He played in their last game I believe...

He was that invisible. (yes i missed Stajan's goal)

 

[Skobel24]

He played in their last game I believe...

Oh.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Hrivik might just be the best Hrivik I have ever seen in the history of the NHL.
