GDT: Flames @ Jets 7pm

[Mobiandi]

I can't even remember Giordano doing that in the last two seasons. I'm so excited to see what he can do with Brodie

 

[FlamerForLife]

If only 1 can make the opening night roster, who would you say has that spot right now, Mangiapane or Dube?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Klimmer!!!

 

[super6646]

Yeah baby!!!

 

[Calculon]

There's the Brossoit we all know

Finally noticed Klimchuk

 

[Anglesmith]

A Klimmer of hope.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Probably Hathaway

I think they have been our two best forwards this pre season though

If I had to guess I would say Mangiapane because he already has two years of pro experience. But Dube is more NHL ready just because he’s so complete

Mangiapane but I'd guess management would say Dube

I've been pleased with him, but I don't know if he needs to be on the NHL roster.

Does anyone really need to be on the NHL roster?

 

[Mobiandi]

What a pass by Andersson

 

[Lunatik]

Klimmer!

and Ryan Jankowski gets his first NHL point!

 

[Anglesmith]

Mangiapane but I'd guess management would say Dube

All I mean is I think he's good enough to replace a guy, but I don't know if he improves the team by doing so. I also don't think he's as well-rounded as Dube.

Dube is currently edging out Mangiapane imo. So I'd pick him to see if he runs out of steam after the first 10 games. If he does, then there's no shame in sending him down and calling Mangi back up

 

[Lunatik]

Dube is much better than Mangiapane so far, it's not all that close

 

[Anglesmith]

Mangiapane is also benefiting from Ryan this game. Ryan has probably been the best Flame this game.

Mangiapane if he starts hitting his stride is a Ferland/Cammalleri level shotmaker - any line that utilizes him well will see a benefit. He's also a fair bit more polished than Dube at this point in time. Dube is the more talented player but you can also see some rawness in his game that could lead to growing pains IMHO.

 

[super6646]

Seriously...

 

[Volica]

Juuso and Rasmus have been a good little pairing today.

 

[Lunatik]

well that sucked

 

[Lunatik]

I blame Ryan Jankowski for the loss

 

[Volica]

Brutal turnover by Lindholm there.

 

[Mobiandi]

Weak sauce from Lindholm. He won't be out there at OT anyway so it doesn't matter I guess

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Brutal turnover by Lindholm there.

It happens, overall what did you think of him this game?

 

[super6646]

Flames really need to work on their ot. Second time they lose in ot in the first 30 seconds.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Weak sauce from Lindholm. He won't be out there at OT anyway so it doesn't matter I guess

Eh he might lol.

 

[Lunatik]

Brutal turnover by Lindholm there.

yeah, that was an ill-advised pass. M y gut says if this was a regular season game, he doesn't take that chance

 

[Anglesmith]

Mangiapane if he starts hitting his stride is a Ferland/Cammalleri level shotmaker - any line that utilizes him well will see a benefit. He's also a fair bit more polished than Dube at this point in time. Dube is the more talented player but you can also see some rawness in his game that could lead to growing pains IMHO.

I'm seeing him make plays routinely that I don't expect him to make. He's continually surprising me. He's also an extremely effective forechecker.

Mangiapane is doing well, but everything good he's doing seems to be largely based off combining with Ryan.
