Glad Jones isn't in.
Setoguchi needs to prove he can still produce (but at 750k it's probably not as 'important') but his effort level is there.

Feeling like that Backlund-Raymond combination should be very interesting and could open up more room for Gaudreau to work the ice.

Colborne clearly on the top line to try to instigate Monahan's scoring.

Really like the forward lines as a whole.

Byfuglien on the top line for the Jets is interesting, he's requested in the past to stay as a defenseman but clearly the Jets are trying to get their game going through any means possible. Will be a very intimidating presence in front of our net… could be trouble.

Worth mentioning, I have a 100% winning percentage when I'm at a Flames game. *Knocks on wood to prevent Jynx. *

Colborne on the wing. Thank you, Hartley!

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I love the Backlund Gaudreau combo too.

I love the Backlund Gaudreau combo too.

Been wanting Hartley to try it all year. Excited to see if it works.

 

[Anglesmith]

TFG, where's yo' GDT at?

 

[Gritty]

Should be a really good game tonight! The Flames could return home from a long road trip above .500 and the Jets are desperate to turn this around before the hole gets too deep!

Expecting a battle!

Backlund will be giving Gaudreau a lot of looks. He's just a nice guy like that.

If hartley does keep the lines together johnny should get 15 minutes tonight with backs.

My favourite line combos of the season so far. I think Stajan gets a goal and an assist. Also, Colborne has played LW with the Leafs to, so this won't be his first game on that side.
