In the Flames lineup that night the defense was Regehr, Phanuef, Pardy, Gio, and Aarron Johnson and Bouwmeester.
Gio was the smallest Flames D-man. |
How did that lineup have anything to do with Giordano dominating Brown? Are you suggesting that the presence of those players gave Giordano the talent to dominate Brown, or are you suggesting that they gave Gio the balls to dominate Brown? Both are ridiculous suggestions.

There is no way that Gio plays that way against Brown and the Kings with last years Flames line up.

Why? Why would his individual talent change? Last year I saw him trying to do too much rather than p,ay the type of game that made him successful. That was not a result of size of the roster, that was a result of him believing he needed to step up his game.

I really have trouble understanding how so many posters here can not see that this team would be a very hard place for Gaudreau to succeed.

That's okay. So many posters here fail to see why you can't seem to understand that player talent is not dependent on the average size of the roster.

Is there the will and direction to trade Hudler? Cammalleri? Wideman? Butler? Smith? Stempniak? Stajan? Horak? Byron? or somehow move them along.

Wow, you have got to be trolling. You're talking about accommodating Gaudreau and including guys that won't be playing for the Flames next season, don't have a any impact because they play defense, or are minor league players who will be long gone as well. Try making some sense. You we're okay when you were suggesting a line that included two or three small players trying to play together, but now you're saying the whole team must be Keegan Kanzig size to make up for Gaudreau's lack of size. That's got to be a subtle joke no one else is getting but is making you laugh your arse off.
