Lindholm back at RW on the top line please, Backs and Tkachuk together and bubble Bennett line reunited.....with how Mangiapane’s game has evolved we would really have an answer to matchups on the top line as a Chuck-Backs-Bread line would be lights out I think.

Wow, 2 vs. Edm, then 2 vs. Tor before 5 of the following 6 against the Sens!
We don't need to solve the world's (team's) problems in the next 4 games, we just have to take steps. Winning both against EDM would be a big boost, but winning 2 of the next 4 in any arrangement, keeps us in this.
The best part of playing the Sens 5 of the following 6 is that other teams are NOT playing the Sens and wins will be harder to come by for them.
Back to the game at hand, with no Kass in the lineup, I think this would be a great time for the Flames to set the tone physically. EDM doesn't have the battleships that we do (even with Kass) so it's a great time to restart the BOA. But, take coincidental penalties - don't give up powerplays. GFG - Let's put a 6 spot on Mike 6mith!

I for one look forward to seeing what Ritchie can bring to the top line a lot of untapped potential. To bad Bennett has to be scratched for him but Ritchie deserves a chance.

Flames should have it in them to show up against the Oilers, just hope things stay consistent and there's an effort. Brett Ritchie popping a hatty from the top line
I'm not sure anymore if the posts about Bennett being scratched are true or just jokes about Ward's line combo lottery, so please stop 
Never...because no one knows if its the truth or just a planted story to drum up twitter hits...I'm not sure anymore if the posts about Bennett being scratched are true or just jokes about Ward's line combo lottery, so please stop
but if it helps, daily faceoff has Ritchie as 2nd line RW and Bennett as 4th line center.

Remember when we claimed Chris Stewart off waivers and put him on the top line for his first game
One would think that having so many games left against the Sens is a bonus..but...if the flames keep playing like they are or even if they are slightly better they are going to lose to Edmonton, the Leafs and the Sens...

Here's what I don't get. Lindholm was able to move to centre under the assumption that Leivo preforms and could play with the 2nd or 1st line. Leivo doesnt produce, yet the Flames keep the same combinations as if they have a top 6 winger laying around, but it's actually just Brett Ritchie. The Flames best centre is arguably Lindholm but people can make arguments for Monahan or Bennett or even Backlund skill wise. The Flames best RW is Lindholm, and behind him you have Mangiapane/Tkachuk. Like, it seems like a no brainer we should have Lindholm playing as a RWer as it's our need and that's what he was brought in to do. No one on the roster comes close to what he does on that top line and putting trash with the top line is only hampering them. They've never made scrubs look elite, they've made already good players look even better, that's what the Flames should be doing. Getting good players to play there and find chemistry, not Brett Ritchie. If not Lindholm at least give Leivo some leash there.

Schrodinger's lineup, Bennett is on the first line and scratched until you look at the lineup and find out.

Flames are 3-0 in games where Bennett plays with Gaudreau for the whole game.
Just saying, maybe Ward should take note.

Win 2 against Edmonton, People will talk like we are a contender which we are not.
Lose 2 against Edmonton, Full tank mode is on.
Anything else is just prolonging the misery.
