What a hurting looking team. If we lose by only 1 i'll be in shock

The first of many 'owskis in the lineup tonight. Fantastic. If only Feaster were here to see it; I'd bet he'd shed a tear... or eat a doughnut.

GFG, excited to see how the kids perform tonight.

 

[Anglesmith]

I find it fascinating to note that despite all the youth that just came up, there's still only one debut tonight. Oh yeah, and I need to fix the goalies. Just noticed.

 

[Calculon]

Did Burke do enough today to give the Flames a legitimate shot at a lottery pick?

Absolutely. He did after all elect to keep Cammalleri and Butler.

I don't know. I think that Edmonton had the more impressive deadline. They got rid of Hemsky and Schultz for basically nothing. I feel like that will have more of an impact than Stempniak and Berra.

 

[Taranis]

Should be an interesting night, at least we get to see some guys who care play.

Funnily enough, it seems like this has been the first season in a while where we haven't really had an issue with that.

 

[Trae]

LOL, forgot there was a game tonight. "Arm not behaving as expected", hahah

4-2 flames, kids motivate win.

 

[Guido Sarducci]

Training camp for the 2014/15 starts today. 7 rookies in the line up. I want to see them steal some jobs.

 

[TheHudlinator]

My god looking at that lineup we might have kept Cammy so we could ice a line with at least 1 season of experience if we needed it

My god that is a young lineup good luck guys.

Just to pass the time, here's a fun activity:

Rank the 12 Flames forwards in order of who you think is the best player right now. I'm interested to see the 4-6 range:

1. Hudler
2. Backlund
3. Cammalleri
4. Byron
5. Monahan
6. Colborne
7. Bouma
8. Reinhart

People will question why I have McGrattan at 8, but for the kind of player he is, he brings his game consistently. He does a decent checking job (I can't recall once this season where a goal was specifically due to his blown coverage) and the grit plus experience he brings is more guaranteed than what the prospects bring to the NHL ice right now.

Loving the youth in the lineup!

 

[Anglesmith]

Basically what I expect from Knight in terms of his play tonight:

Basically what I expect from Knight in terms of his play tonight:

And then he will proceed to have all his limbs hacked off?

 

[Anglesmith]

And then he will proceed to have all his limbs hacked off?

And keep fighting? I hope he has that kind of heart.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Noooooooooooooooo.

I wouldn't be against it. He is effective blocks a lot of shots. Less than 2 million I would be fine, a little I would be fine as well.
