Nice to see Ferland playing with Jooris - those two seemed to be doing well during the preseason. I bet Ferland gets a few looks with Granlund as well. Loved his quote at the end of that article that Miss Teeks shared.
I love Reinhart, but I don't see him being mistreated or getting the short-end of the stick. Baertschi plays well, he gets more time. Same should go for Reinhart, or Ferland, or any other prospect out there. It doesn't matter as much if a vet gets his ice-time reduced - guys like Setoguchi are not part of the future, so who cares. You need to make the young players accountable and make sure they play hard in every shift. Heck, Seto has been scratched a lot and so has Wideman - nobody is really safe, especially prospects that need to be developed properly and held accountable from day one.
Looking forward to this game and see how the Flames match-up this time around. Doubtful they will catch the Hawks off-guard as everyone definitely knows the type of game the Flames play, and the Hawks needing points here.
