Gonna start this conversation about Johnny. He just made the team. If not fire the President, GM, and Coach. Even when Johnny does not score, gets rubbed out, he makes high skilled hockey plays. He is a goal scorer that is an elite playmaker. Awesome.
Monahan looking good too. Bigger, and I could see the gears grinding, is this my first NHL hockey fight? It will happen this year. Guy isn't even 20 yet, one of the best on the team. I don't see no sophomore slump!
Bennett, love him. Love him to play all year on the flames. Would have a solid year. Yet he is better served in junior. He is too physical for his body to hold up. 10 15 pounds of muscle would serve him so well. Throw on 10 pounds of fat too for a cushion lol! A future star, lets not rush him though.
Jooris! I thought he was AHL fodder. To be honest he is..... Yet heart and work ethic. You cant tell me he is more skilled than Setoguchi. Yet he makes you notice him in a good way from effort. He has impressed me. Does he deserve a shot on the team, absolutely.
Russell? He has played so much preseason hockey, did he piss the coach's off or something? He has played great. Really great!
Nice to have Smid back. Just solid.
