GDT: Flames @ Avs: Battle for the Basement Edition - April 8 @ 7:00

[Ace Rimmer]

Game on: Sportsnet, Altitude. Also listen on Fan960

Fortunately (?) for the Flames, it's a road game. Chances at the first overall pick that is. 0-11-1 in the last 12 road games. Gotta win one sometime I guess. So perhaps there's hope?

Game Preview (if you care)

I recall hearing McGrattan is out? Glencross and Smith are both questionable for tonight's game. So are any hopes for the season...

Imaginary* lineup (by Stewie)

Tanguay - Backlund - Cammalleri
Glencross - Horak - Cervenka
Baertschi - Stajan - Stempniak
Reinhart - Begin - Jackman

Brodie - Wideman
Giordano - Butler
Sarich - Carson

MacDonald

*imaginary in the sense that I don't feel like looking them up.


Go Team!​

Avs should win this as they have a better roster.

Mcdonald is starting too...

Nice to see the young guys play and maybe gel a bit.

Battle for the Basement, aka the Ryan O'Reilly Bowl.

I expect a real South Park baseball effort for the tank tonight.

Was trying to find a video of that episode to post . The Losing Edge is the title of the episode if anyone is interested.

 

[Gritty]

Ughh...

Here's hoping for a solid game! Also hoping for a big game from Baer and Rein!

So that means we need to bring up another forward, correct?

[Haatley]

Isnt reinhart playing?

 

[InfinityIggy]

I think you mean...

 

[Calculon]

Hudler supports etc., and so on and so forth.

Wonder who they call up as a replacement, assuming they can call someone up and there's enough time for it.

Looking at the roster my money would be on Kolanos.

 

[Calculon]

Looking at the roster my money would be on Kolanos.

That would be unfortunate. Nothing against the guy, I'd just rather an actual prospect gets the shot. Even if that prospect is Nemisz or Howse.

Edit: Looks like no call up necessary.

Pat Steinberg‏@Fan960Steinberg3m

Curtis Glencross gets back into the lineup after missing Saturday night in Vancouver with a lower body injury. #Fla

 

[Foppa2118]

Big game tonight, got to pull this one out.

Go Avs!!!!!

 

[Foppa2118]

Go Avs!!!!!

I think we should all switch boards for one game, that would be hilarious.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Hudler most likely out tonight

Tanguay Reinhart Stempniak
Baertschi Horak Cammalleri
Cervenka Backlund Jackman
Glencross Stajan Begin

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hudler most likely out tonight

Tanguay Reinhart Stempniak
Baertschi Horak Cammalleri
Cervenka Backlund Jackman
Glencross Stajan Begin

 

[TheHudlinator]

That was my first thought too. But clearly Hartley is seeing what we have at center in the organization most likely for next. Even tho I don't think Horak is going to be an nhl centerman and I think Reinhart is needs more team in the ahl they have a real chance to make an impression that could help them make the team next year. If nothing else it will be interesting to see how they do.

Yeah im excited that we are giving these guys a chance/seeing what we have but man...that team is going to be terrible.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Hudler most likely out tonight

Tanguay Reinhart Stempniak
Baertschi Horak Cammalleri
Cervenka Backlund Jackman
Glencross Stajan Begin

It should be:


Tanguay Backlund Stempniak
Baertschi Horak Cammalleri
Cervenka Reinhart Glencross
Jackman Stajan Begin


With Hudler out, I don't see the Backlund line dominating like they have in the past.

 

[Qubax]

Yeah this lineup is perfect.

If the kids do well, we lose 3-2...if they do poorly we lose 5-2.

I don't see us winning more then 1 or 2 games the rest of the way.. which should be good for the highest bingo odds come draft time
