Flames seem to be getting into the groove, and we have to get ours back. I'm assuming Demko's in goal tonight.
Let's get some payback from that last game. Petey & Hog scored our only goals in that one.

Zadorov and Myers pair tonight. 6'6"and 6'8". Chaos and destruction awaits.

Hope the 'Nucks destroy them and we all have a fun relaxing night.

Until Big Zaddy came home, Juulsen was our most physical dman by a significant margin. His play has stabilized of late as well. Freidman is fine, but imo Juulsen is clearly the better player.

As long as Juulsen is the 6th best dman dressed, I'm fine with him being in the lineup. Freidman and Irving in the press box until Sousy (or Bear) are ready to go.

Yeah I'm not a fan. I would have paired Zadarov with someone a little more stable so he can get acclimated to the team in a slightly less erratic way.
I just noticed that Myers played with Z in Buffalo..so maybe some familiarity there.

Flames are something like 8-3-2 lately..on fire.

I wouldn't read too much into it. They played on the same team for about 50 games 9 seasons ago, and Zadorov was just breaking into the league. I just think it's that with Hughes-Hronek being a set pairing, there is really 2 combinations of LHD-RHD pairs without substitution.

@SeawaterOnIce it is going to happen

Trying to defend with Myers is like trying to ride a giraffe. Oh wait, there's a gif for that.

Thing is, Myers plays like he’s Garlands size and this pairing can really bleed goals against … not sure I like this combo. Who’s going to defend? Both are terrible cycle defenders. If opposition sets up, it’s going to be a goal or high quality chance.

You can break up 17/43 now. The new car smell has worn off them the last couple weeks they haven’t been great.

But this is our “win one” game. Next game is the “lose one”.

Maybe Tocchet thinks Zadorov-Myers pairing can be like Zadorov-Gudbranson for Calgary.

Apparently that pairing had success - lol I think we better have the popcorn ready for tonight

From someone who hasn't seen a lot, is Zadorov literally as mistake-prone as Myers, or not so bad? I guess we'll see shortly.

Zadorov and Myers are both mistake prone but I'm assuming they're going to be sheltered 3rd pair minutes (behind Hughes-Hronek and Cole-Friedman), which ought to be good.

Flames signed Mark Pysyk today, he missed all of last season with a torn Achilles. Always liked him, would be cool if he could resurrect his NHL career.

Here’s an interesting development;

Zadorov-Myers become one of the best 2nd/3rd pairing in the league

Today is when the legacy begins
