Mkay then. Go whoever, idgaf.
This organization is a joke.
Sign the top collegiate free agent last season? play him just three games all year despite being NHL ready, and sit him when there is absolutely nothing on the line. Yeah.. great way to attract guys in the future.
Top prospect in the organization who has struggled to acclimate to the NHL game? Sit him when there is nothing on the line.
21 year old who is the organizations AHL leading scorer looking to get his feet wet in the NHL? Sit him in favor of veterans who contributed nothing all season and will not be returning.
Continue to play Markstrom despite having started every game since trading Rittich, and having a chance to better your draft odds with a loss?
go figure 3 forwards, 2 dmen and the goalie should all be sitting tonight to let some kids play but sure lets play our 5 vet league min guys Nordstrom, Leivo, Ritchie, Nesterov, Stone ...they should play Simon too just to get them all playingLines
Johnny Gaudreau - Elias Lindholm - Matthew Tkachuk
Joakim Nordstrom - Mikael Backlund - Andrew Mangiapane
Milan Lucic - Derek Ryan - Dillon Dube
Josh Leivo - Glenn Gawdin - Brett Ritchie
Pairings
Mark Giordano - Christopher Tanev
Nikita Nesterov - Rasmus Andersson
Oliver Kylington - Michael Stone
Goaltender
Jacob Markstrom
We have a great team. Awesome. Epic. 10/10 lineup Sutter.
We've had 1 game in the last 7 days. Markstro is going to want to playI'm not going to say that the Flames should throw the kids into the lineup if they're not ready, but man, they really should be giving Markstrom a night or four off.
Still there's an opportunity here that is incredibly unique because most/all of their prospects would be available for a call up, and would let the Flames evaluate their younger talent at this level. That's a Treliving call, no?
Sutter wants to create winning culture
winning when it doesn’t matter counts too
Joakim Nordstrom in the top 6. This f***ing hockey team man
