I'd say that the "Maher in the Morning" segment from 8 until 8:15am on the Fan 960 is the most reliable place to get Flames news. In fact I set my clock radio just for that.
Sources I am likely to believe in order from most likely to least likely:
- Bob McKenzie
-
- TSN in general
-
- Team Staff/Management
-
- Local beat writers
-
- Eklund/Hockeybuzz on draft or deadline days
-
-
- HFBoards posters I'm accustomed to seeing
-
- Random HFBoards poster
-
-
-
- Eklund/HockeyBuzz when it's not deadline day or draft day
I'll give you a guess as to where I would slot you in, Marquee.
Yeah okay, because the goaltending market is so hot Joey MacDonald will become suddenly worth somethingTheres no conspiracy here, they were showcasing Joey Mac, its pretty obvious given he has gotten the easier starts.

No, in all seriousness, I wonder if the Dallas Stars would have any interest. Kari Lehtonen seems to be plagued by minor injuries and their current backup, Dan Ellis, is maybe playing pretty badly from what I can tell (which is only based off his stats).
pitt's still makes a ton of sense given how terrible their backup was and how uncertain Vokoun's recover is.
The Flames are not showcasing MacDonald. The suggestion is so out to lunch it's downright hilarious.We got him for nothing.
I am not trying to argue they are looking to trade him for a 1st rounder for him, but if they can use him to recover one of those 4th or 5th rounders that we have traded it would be worth it. Seeing as he is still a capable backup goalie, so giving him the starts/a shot to prove himself isn't a bad thing.

You don't need to showcase a 33 year old goaltender who is in his 8th NHL season and 5th NHL club. Teams already know what they would get from him, the only reason why there was a question mark when we got him was his back injury he was coming off of.

good to hear karri is getting the start in dallas
Never in doubt. MacDonald was just plain weird yesterday. What kind of goalie gives a guy a wide open net to shoot at for more than a half-second with the puck on the perimeter?
It's like Joey was saying "nah, no worries, he's not going to shoot... **** he shot."
Are you talking about the first goal? Because what happened is that he did not see the beauty slap pass that Yandle made to the far side of the net. He thought the puck was still coming straight at him as he was screened. I admit his reaction was a little slow, but he clearly was not engaged with the right shooter until it was too late.
Not a chance. Ramo has been solid. Mac is always flopping all over the place. A goalie making a bunch of highlight reel saves in a win isn't exactly a good sign in itself. Hopefully the team will give Karri a good game next time he's in though.Joey Macdonald has been the Flames best goalie so far. Sometimes he wins too.
