Harvey Specter said:Flames will win this game to keep up the pattern of inconsistency and so the coaching staff can continue to lie to the fans that we’re on the right track.
“Yeah, we needed this one tonight after the BAD LUCK we have been dealt lately. Nice to see the results come after sticking to the system and see some guys get rewarded”. Flames will then proceed to win the next game as well, then lose the following 2. Par for the course.
Prolly the same lines and junk.
Bad break for Frolik but now's the perfect time to mess with the lines
Might we see what needs to be done with Gaudreau and Monahan on separate lines?

Hopefully some young blood from the AHL can get some ice ti....
Oh wait this is the Calgary Flames, where nothing is earned and everything is given to the bloated corpses of awful veteran borderline NHLers who don’t do anything but make this team worse.

Frolik (out) as 2nd line winger sounds like a really solid guess. Could you please try to do your job, just a little bit?
If the coach doesn't give details, there's not a whole lot they can do.
But why?
I get wanting to reward loyal foot soldiers in Lazar/F.Hamilton but they're still terrible. What more does a top scoring 21 year old prospect need to do to get a call up.
It’s really frustrating.
Considering how miserable our 4th line is; no idea why they don't make some demotions/recalls, especially with Frolik's injury.
Brouwer should be in the AHL, see if he can get his game back. Stajan should be waiver/popcorn fodder. Bring up Hrivik, who can play a good 4th line role, bring up someone like Mangi to play on a scoring line.
A 4th line should be guys who give it 100% each shift, and create. All ours does is swing the tide against us because they'll be hemmed in all night and can't skate to save their lives.
