GDT: Game #2: Anaheim Ducks @ Calgary Flames, 7:00PM on SNET-W and The Fan 960

[The Gnome]

Maybe our centers can play like linebackers and just rush the opposing centerman on the puck drop.

Haha! I'm pretty sure Kerr said something along those lines last night. Btw props to everybody that continues to do our gdt's, they are always great and good for a couple laughs.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Flames win 4-3!

GO FLAMES GO!!!!!!!

I hope Iginla or Glencross gets a shift with Backlund and Bart tonight. That line needs someone out there who can throw the body and create space. They were easily the best line last game.

Hudler would be a perfect fit with them I think, too bad he likely isn't ready to go yet...get Glenx off the top line though. Totally ineffective there last night.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Who is going to the next player to get a ridiculous nickname after Kerr orgasms in his seat tonight?

What? Not a fan of this?

 

[Gritty]

It would suck to go 0-2 before heading to face a desperate Vancouver team.... I'm just hoping for a consistent effort tonight. Should win if that happens.

4 - 3 sounds about right.

Iginla, Iginla, Baertschi, Stajan.

 

[Bosnian Beast]

Is it confirmed Brodie is in and Smith/Sarich is out? I haven't read or heard anything.

Brodie's not confirmed but many reporters are saying that he will be playing according to this mornings practice. Hartley won't confirm it yet.. Although Jones playing is a lock according to Steve Begin

Agree.

#13 was useless, put him with Tangs. Iggy with Backs and Baer.

Could be good for everyone involved.

Hopefully we can acquire a few more pieces before then...

Chris Stewart is an RFA soon. Latendresse will be UFA. I'd like the Flames to try and acquire one of those two.

Then there's the jackpot of Getzlaf and Perry.

 

[TheHudlinator]

I would love to mix it up and play
Baertschi - Backlund - Iggy
Tanguay - Stajan - Cammy
Glencross - Horak - Stemps

but I really don't care as long as we win.

I can really really see Getzlaf signing here, and I wouldn't have a doubt that Feaster will be trying his hardest.

Was a fantastic Hitman.

I think we would have a shot, at the very least.

Why the **** would he sign here? Anaheim is atleast as good as we are and have better young pieces then we do. He may like Calgary but no way he signs here over other teams that will be looking at him as a #1 centermen.

Brad Richards nearly signed with us... I would say that it isn't likely that Getzlaf would sign with Calgary, but to completely rule it out as a possibility is ludicrous.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Im gonna be risky and say Baertschi gets a hat trick

We offered more money and Iggy was 2 years younger then I think we look less attractive now then we did then. Unless we offer some ridiculous money I doubt he considers us especially when we all know that Toronto is going to throw more money than anyone at him and they are starting their up swing and will look much more attractive.

That would be awesome!!! I just ordered a Baertschi Jersey today.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I'm going to predict Backlund scores a hat trick. I'm just going to predict a Backlund hat trick every game until he actually gets one.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I predict we will win at least 1 faceoff.

 

[TheHudlinator]

I predict we will win at least 1 faceoff.

This is the most bold prediction in this entire thread

 

[haQ Loob]

Backlund will be the "Swede we Need!".

Baertschi will be the "The Swiss Who Can't Miss!".

Hudler the "Czech with no Neck!". Too soon?

I should stop.

Hartley called Sven "our baby." Maybe "Baby Baer" for him. This Swiss is juuuuuuuuust right.
