Lavoie should be slotted on one of the top 2 lines. No reason to have a few AHL journeymen on the top 2. Would like to see what he can do with some talent around him.

It was sloppy, chippy, boring hockey with very few chances on either side.
In fairness it looked to me like the Flames coaches knew they only had three players worth a damn so really tried to shut it down. Zagidulin played well but wasn't overly tested.

I think I'll watch another horror movie instead. Seems to be no jam on this rooks team.
This is hockey. Stand up for yourselves a bit.
I know its not the Battle of Alberta but not one of the kids really stood up and responded to the goons in game 1.

Eh. It was a fairly clean game, but Starrett definitely got jumped and sucker punched and the reffing was one sided. They were laying the body, but it was clean for the most part.

Bought tickets for the game - won't be getting there until about 8:30, but I'll try and get some visuals down from the ice.
Dang, I wish Yamo was playing though.

Surprised Bro didn't even show up to camp to assess where he's at relative to his peers.
I thought going through at least the start of training camp would allow him to see what it took to get to the next level.

Hasn't his team already started back in Sweden. Hard to leave the team you are playing for and travelling half way across the world for a couple meaningless rookie games.

Would have liked to see a response for the Starrett sucker punch, but I was content with Desharnais stepping in on the borderline play against Marody. Otherwise, I didn't notice anything too stupid by the Flames rookies.

Hopefully they don't out outworked again. That was annoying to see. If Bouchard plays how he did the first game and can keep that up, he is a lock to get 9 games in the NHL again. He looks dominant. Tippett is looking for a RHD to play with Klefbom after the Nurse-Larsson pairing. I think they're hoping Bouch is that guy.
Bouchard needs another year for sure imo

Samorukov did his level best to elbow him in the head - he threw twice - but the puke was waiting for a response and dodged them.

He does seem to be a real puke. I'd even bet he took 97 to deliberately agitate. If I read correctly he wore 66 in a rookie tournament last year as well.

and again...
Hopefully Starrett has the full football helmet on for this game for protection from the sucker punching goon.

Are any of the guys we have known for fighting? Maybe it would be worth while inviting a guy that actually does this if there isn't any.
