[DCDM]

That third line is literally the worst thing I've ever seen.

 

[Janks]

I like the top 6 - 3rd line is garbage. Just win tonight - sick of losing to the bottom feeding Oilers.

 

[Mobiandi]

What on earth is that third line? Yikes

 

[Anglesmith]

I predict a dominant performance from the good guys.

I prepare myself for disappointment.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik
Hathaway-Shore-Stewart
Brouwer-Stajan-Lazar

 

[FlamerForLife]

That new look 3rd line scores 3 goals all with McDavid on the ice and Flames win 8-0. Game 1 of a 12 game win streak.

 

[Anglesmith]

A lot of negativity, but I am excited to see what Shore can do at centre.

 

[Corpus X]

A lot of negativity, but I am excited to see what Shore can do at centre.

If the Flames lose we can call him North Shore...

 

[The Gnome]

Updated the OP. Not that Janko has been good, but how is Hathaway our 3rd line LW and not Janko? I really don't get GGs roster decisions, he's an idiot.

 

[dfunk]

Anyone know why Backlund shows as DTD in my fantasy pool?

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

If the Flames lose we can call him North Shore...

Not Pauly?

 

[Anglesmith]

Anyone know why Backlund shows as DTD in my fantasy pool?

This is automatic whenever a player misses practice.

 

[Mobiandi]

A lot of negativity, but I am excited to see what Shore can do at centre.

Shore looked good in his lone game for us but he'll be centering two offensive duds tonight.

 

[FerklundCGY]

"Hey, Shore. Get ready. You're going swimming with Dolphins tonight!"

"Thanks, coach! Does that mean I'm playing in the game? I am so excited to get back into game action!"

"Yes, but I should rephrase what I said. Instead of swimming with Dolphins, we're actually gonna place you in a 30 metre deep pool... with two 200+ pound anchors tied to your arms... and we'll probably feed you to the sharks (McDavid) a few times throughout the game... you'll do great!"

 

[Yung Rotini]

That third line lmao. Oof.

 

[Mobiandi]

You'd think we could feast on a Russell-Bear pairing but we weren't even able to score against their historically bad home PK. I don't know what to expect tonight

 

[dfunk]

This is automatic whenever a player misses practice.

Ah. So nothing to worry about then, I’m guessing just for maintenance or something

 

[Dack]

Let's line match the 3rd line VS Mcdavid for fun.

 

[Tkachuky]

1. f*** the Oilers and their fans
2. Although that 3rd line looks ugly on paper, that is a lot of grit and we need that against the Oilers. I think it will be a very physical game.
3. Flames win tonight. I have 0 doubts. AINEC, BOOK IT, whatever you want to call it.

 

[Tkachuky]

Ah not liking Chucky being out tonight....

 

[Flames Fanatic]

No Tkachuk, we're f***ed

 

[The Gnome]

The only silver lining here is that perhaps Stewart will mash in Kassian's smug face. I don't like being the pessimist, but the Oilers have dismantled us over the last 2 years for the most part. No Tkachuk, and Janko is scratched for a newbie not familiar with the team. I'm predicting our bottom six is gonna be a disaster. Please prove me wrong!

 

[King In The North]

Jank scratched really?

 

[lightstorm]

Garnet Hathaway - Nick Shore - Chris Stewart​

The only thing missing is Bartkowski - Grossman out there with them against McDavid.

You know he wants his hardware and knows that Calgary Gulutzans are free points, its gonna be ugly.
