Chyeeah Zombo.

 

[Grub]

Spots up for grabs... still scratching my head on how our line-up is going to look come season opening night. So many forwards but so little space.

 

[a Fool]

Full squad hype.

Maybe a stray puck will hit Hartley.

Hopefully

 

[The Stig]

Zombo you're a damn hero

 

[denkiteki]

Might as well play all the "hopefuls" instead of the vets. Should let those fighting for positions fight it out now and play the roster vs the Oilers as "tune-up" for the real thing.

I think the vets need the work. The top line will probably have a new guy and be working with a new pairing on defense. The second line hasn't played together before. Is there time to burn off a game looking at the kids? I'd play Miller every minute, too.

I'm really excited to see what they throw on the ice tonight. Last game was some entertaining hockey. I'm hoping for another great game from the rookies.

The cancer talk went straight over my head but the colours are nice.

 

[lush]

Really hoping we can extinguish any optimism flames fans may or may not be feeling right now and not add to it

Mine too.... Can someone please explain?

 

[Fat Tony]

Mine too.... Can someone please explain?

I need an explanation also. And please type slowly so I can keep up.

If Torts was still coach...the opening of this game would be:





Bob Hartley.................as Luthor
Torts..........................as Swan

There is still a handful of games left, but generally I agree with you. Seeing how we did a re-tool and not a complete re-build means the brass still have their eyes on the playoffs. Playing in the division we do, we're going to have to have the vets ready to go from game one if thats even going to be a remote possibility.

Sam Bennett likely draws in... Gaudreau and Baertschi should be in... Bob Hartley... In Calgary vs. Vancouver... Can probably expect the rest of the Flames' line-up to be goons.

So, basically their regular season line up then.

As someone who is dealing with cancer on a daily basis, I find your opening really in bad taste. It's sad how you make light of such a serious disease. Maybe you should delete this GDT and start over.?

I don't quite understand the joke either but if I had to hazard a guess, it's referring to how 'cancerous' Kesler and Tors were?

I don't know. Either way, in reading it, what you said crossed my mind. I personally haven't dealt with cancer but I can only imagine the damage and stress that is involved. Using it for humour in this manner isn't exactly comforting.

I appreciate the effort, but I think this GDT is a swing and a miss, Zombo.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Flames lineup. They're icing a solid team for the hometown crowd:

Flames defence/goal vs Canucks: Giordano, Wideman, Brodie, Diaz, Yonkman, Cundari, Culkin, Kanzig, Hiller, Thiessen.

Ben Kuzma‏@benkuzma·15 mins
Flames forwards vs Canucks: Bouma, Stajan, Jones, Setoguchi, Monahan, Bolig, Baertschi, Arnold, Agostino, Bennett, Hathaway, Ferland.

I am receiving cancer treatments daily and I have no problem with this GDT. Kes was a cancer to the team. He was a malcontent.
What I want more than anything is to be rid of cancer. So do the Canucks.

Cheers for being a beacon of humanity.

I think it is in reference to kesler being a locker room cancer?
