Isn't hilarious that for how cow dung we've been if two top teams in Washington and Winnipeg can help us out and beat the Kings/Stars tonight in regulation and we beat the Yotes we are only two points out?

Also look at St Louis; they were dead in the water and have gone 4-1 in last five and are right there

For all my whining (lol) in the last week about this team I still have faint hope

 

[Janks]

Heard on the fan - TJ has a sore neck/back, so potentially nothing serious? I'm hopeful he's not out for long.

He's been playing like shit. Bench him for a few games and try out some of the rookies.

 

[Mobiandi]

Time to play Shore. Even if that means shifting Janko out to the wing

Wild play the Kings. - I will be in attendance for that tonight and will cheer hard against the kings.

I do too... 9 games is plenty to get hot and roll. And before everyone jumps on me, yes i know they haven't played stellar past 10 games or whatever. But who knows....

GO FLAMES GO. Lets start this rolling with a big win tonight. Then Wednesday's game will be huge.

Didn't Gaudreau play RW and Bennett LW last time they were on the same line?

 

[MDCSL]

Get Hathaway or Stewart out and put shore in

 

[The Gnome]

I can't believe we still have a chance, lol...at least makes this game worth watching. Go Flames!

 

[DCDM]

Game 1 of the last 9-game segment of the season

11% of the season left. That's like 11% battery and you're about to get on a 4 hours flight with no plugs for charging. very low chances your phone makes it the whole trip but damn it.... you got a chance!


Just don't play music, videos or wi-fi.

This team has been operating in 'low-power' mode all season, so maybe there is hope.

Maybe with Rasmus in it will be like a software update where we go God mode for 9 games.

Heh. We used to have no good RW now we have too many "meh" RW.

What's the over-under on how many shifts the top three forward lines stand?

I'm placing it at four, and that's being generous. Fourth line will stay that way all game.


Edit HOLY SHIT I just saw that Stone was playing his off-side. Is this real life?

Gulutzan knows he's gone so he's just trolling the fans at this point.

 

[Dack]

Super excited for Andersson. I think Stone-Hamonic will be a disaster but I hope they prove me wrong.

I like that anybody can be removed from the lineup except Hathaway.

 

[Lunatik]

Maybe he's ambidextrous?

 

[Lunatik]

Well, with Andersson being recalled and having 5 RHD and 2 LHD on the roster GG had two options, play Stone in the top 4, or play Kulak in the top 4. Only a small handful of people are dumb enough to pick Kulak

Confirmed Stone > Brodie. - Just GG things.

 

[Baxterman]

Glad but surprised to see the changes in the lines. I have given up hope that Stajan or Brouwer will ever be removed no matter how much they deserve to sit so at least there are some changes.

Hopefully that 3rd pair will be used very sparingly as that looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

To be fair I would've pegged Gulutzan as being part of that handful before today

Then you need to pay more attention, he clearly still shelters Kulak
