I don't mind those lines actually. Butler isn't actually going to play top minutes so don't worry about it. D pairings are just being evened out but Wideman and Russell will play the most so I got over it.

I hope you're right, seeing him on the top pairing is bringing back memories of the JBo - Butler pairing from the dark days.

The lines on the Flames website are up, and they look a bit different from what you've got. MOST NOTABLY BUTLER IS ON THE TOP PAIRING.

The lines combos don't look any different. They are simply in a different order. I put them in order of who's going to get the most minutes. They put it in order of whatever was most convenient given what they had last game.

Anyone else watch that video on the OP and notice that there are zero players on our team who played in that game? And that was only 2008!

You mean where he has been since Gio went down? If anything Brodie has been the weak link on that pairing (although his last few games have been great).

I'm gonna get everyone to go back to the first page and have a gander at the OP.

Surprise! All credit to Unlimited Chequing.

Hopefully this changes our luck a little. Otherwise...

Yep, noticed... also, did anyone else instinctively think "Glencross" when they saw Huselius' #20 streaking toward the net on that left side?

I miss the old C of Red atmosphere that we used to have during playoff games. I hope when we finally make our return to the postseason, it still feels just like that.

Yes, I had exactly that thought! Man, the crowd was so pumped in that video. The noise when Sarich hit Marleau was incredible. Does everyone now maybe understand why a certain portion of fans would be happy to just make the playoffs at the expense of a top-5 pick?

Stempniak must be a real warrior, broken foot and still in the lineup. OP should really make up their minds :sarcasm:

He put da team on his back, doo.

link.
I know. I'm saying maybe you guys should stop copypasting the GDTs if you're getting lazy when you stop updating information outside of lineup info. :shakehead
Maybe, for instance, you should check if you have Stempniak on IR in your post. Maybe you should remove him from there if he's confirmed to be in the lineup.
Also missing out on the morning skate report from the Flames' website on the past few GDTs... too much work to update that too maybe?

Just maybe...

I'm liking that there's more activity with GDTs and stuff looking better the last couple seasons but if someone is going to make the thread, I'm just asking that they take the time to scan through it and figure out if it needs to be updated or if it could be improved. Piggybacking on the work of others just so you can say you made the thread =/= effort. Lots of great posters here contributing but again would be nice if we actually took at look at what's being posted, or even what isn't being posted and should be added in. :)
