Should make the tank crowd happy, if nothing else.

Hope Cundari is -10 in two minutes played, rite guyz?

Not good at tanking if we're 6th last lol

 

[Noori]

If he can provide a steady ten or fifteen minutes while making a physical impact I'll be over the moon.

One more reason to fire him.

So what does our D look like tonight?

Giordano - Brodie
Butler - Sarich
Babchuk - Cundari

Pretty awful..

Watch us win tonight's game. It honestly wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Curious to see how he does tonight. Wouldnt mind him playing with someone like Sarich because he is on the smaller side.

Yes let go hire Tambo lol, he's sure to tank properly haha.

our first pairing is a second pairing.. second is third and third is AHL quality... hell half of those guys should be in the AHL

What?! Babchuk is an elite #1 Defender

Cundari is not playing tonight.

Pat Steinberg‏@Fan960Steinberg
Hartley confirms Butler is good to play tonight. Cundari likely debuts Sunday in Minnesota. #Flames

i would guess we go with;

Giordano-Brodie
Sarich - Butler
Carson - Babchuk

 

[Double Dion]

Babchuk should be on the top pairing. We'd lose for sure then. Pair Babs with Sarich against Perry and Getzlaf. Guaranteed loss.

No kidding.
Both seem to be in quick sand all game, I honestly wouldn't want either one on my team, neither is really an NHL level top 6 anymore. Babs is debatable if he's even an AHL'er anymore, and Sarich is tops a 7th guy lol.

He doesn't play small though.

 

[Calculon]

Wideman supports the tanks, etc.

But really, Wideman's a big loss. He was pretty good this year, even with his defensive gaffes.

Should be interesting to see what Cundari can do.

 

[DCDM]

Can I post this here? Found it interesting..

Feaster also telling us Leland Irving will come back with the #Flames for the final road trip.

 

[Calculon]

Well, that is certainly peculiar. Irving was all but written off; now's he's re-joining the team in the final stretch of the season?

Are the Flames going to go with 3 goalies, or is Kipper not even joining the team on the road trip? And of course, does Irving even get the chance to start another game?

So many questions. Should be very interesting to see what happens with this.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I don't get the Irving recall - unless Kipper is going to retire after the game or something.

I do like these quotes from Mark Cundari from the Flames' website.

"It's great. Obviously I've never had one before," Cundari said. "It's good to finally be in an organization where they appreciate what I bring to the table and I'm looking forward to showing this team, the fans, the entire city what I do here."

"It's obviously an honor to get traded for a guy like Jay Bouwmeester, obviously one of the best defencemen in the league," Cundari said. "For me, huge shoes to fill. I don't think I'm going to fill them on my own but I'm definitely going to do my best to take advantage."

You're allowed extra call-ups at this time of the year. Generally they sit in the presser, enjoy free food and an NHL salary for a few games. Irving is only up because Taylor I believe got injured.

Since Abby sucked to an incredible extent this year, there's nothing to lose but let some of the kids enjoy the rink.

 

[TylerSVT*]

So AHL Flames to finish out the season?

Everyone has "the flu"
