GDT: Feb 25 - Flames @ Devils [5:30pm on SN]

[Pirate King Luffy]

Diaz on the second pairing is like having David Moss as your #1 centre. Sorry Brent, not interested.

The lineup would be more balanced. 3rd paring is alright. Tspoon is better all round than Diaz, but Diaz brings a better offensive game. Playing with Russell would be beneficial for Diaz rather playing with Englelland. Engelland is not the greatest of skaters unlike Russell who can cover much better if Diaz decided to pinch. I wouldn't hate or love it, but it tells us how bad our defense depth lol.

 

[Calculon]

You gotta appreciate how he hasn't soured on the team even though he was fired.

He was for a bit earlier in the season.

Couple of quick questions as I was only able to catch the last few minutes:

-What did Glenny do? My buddy was like "Glennie is an idiot!" in a fb message and now I'm wondering why.

-What did Backs do? What was Feaster talking about bailing him out for?

-How good is Ramo? Told you so.

- Dunno what Glenny did. Thought he was good today. Maybe the fight.

- Backs took a delay of game penalty late in the game

- He's good.

Glencross dropped the mitts and fought Zajac, so I would assume that is it.

Backlund took a penalty for clearing the puck over the glass in the final minute.

 

[Anglesmith]

How is fighting Zajac a bad thing? I figured maybe he made a crucial error on the goal against or something.

And I did see the Backs penalty. Just didn't make the connection.

Diaz is god awful defensively, putting him in a position to play against even better players it like stripping naked, covering yourself in honey, poking a bees nest and expecting not to get stung.

people get paranoid about people breaking hands, that's at least what I chalk it up to.

However you put it, the defense is crap.

If Gio's going to be out for more than a week the Flames may as well sell off whichever non-core players they can at the deadline, because that would be the end of their playoff chances.

 

[Gritty]

It just shows how important signing a good/reliable 3/4/5 defender in FA is next season. Hopefully Gio is OK and he's back in action against the NYI

Hopefully by next season TSpoon will be ready for full time NHL duty. He can't be worse than the guys who are currently taking up space on the 3rd pairing.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

What did he say? I was only aware of his BOA tweet.

I'm not trying to be negative, but that's exactly how I feel to. Even if he doesn't miss a game it's going to be extremely hard. I just remember what happened when he went down last year, we were in the running for a top 2 or 3 pick. We're just a different team without him for so many reasons. Our whole offence goes through that top pairing, he makes Brodie better, if he's out, the depth on our D pairings are really affected, lastly he's our best defensive dman as well. It would be an enormous blow.

I really hope he's alright.

 

[Mobiandi]

Classic.

"If 0 nice 2 say, say 0!"

I had to say that out loud to get what he meant

 

[Master Bill]

God, I miss a game and Gio is being evaluated?

I have no worries, he will be back fresh as new. *sweats*

 

[TychoFan]

Sorry I still don't get it? XD

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I was told the same thing by my mom as a kid too lol

Ah ok thanks!

 

[CraigsList]

If Gio is in fact injured for a few games (maybe for precautionary reasons), it's a good test for our team.
