I think if you flip Monahan and Backlund that's probably the best lineup we can ice with guys on the nhl roster other than having Ritchie in the lineup The dude has 0 points.
Hate that we aren't playing vlad, whatever just win
Kind of weird this is the first time we play the Canucks and it's the end of January.
Go Flams.
I look at this roster and yea if Gaudreau leaves as a UFA we gotta blowup asap for the 23’ draft
If Gaudreau leaves and Tkachuk wants $10 mil long term (we got to qualify at $9+ mil minimum if they can't reach a contract agreement) and he wants out then Flames go from a playoff team to bottom 10 real quick.
Now I am 99% in favour of re-signing both guys, you don't let Gaudreau walk, he has potential to be an all time great Flame (he already is in my eyes), but if Gaudreau walks which is 100% within his right, then Flames need to trade Tkachuk and re-start the re-build immediately gearing towards that '23 draft.
Enough blow up talk though, please just beat Vancouver, I can stomach the losses to the Blues and even Ottawa, but not the Oilers or Canucks.
Can't keep losing divisional games
Garland is the closet thing a rat they have, I hope we can get himWho do we even hate on Vancouver anymore? Do they even have any French shit disturbing little pukes at this point?
