I don't like to pick on players but I know I am not the only one saying Mason Raymond was terrible vs the Stars. I wasn't really into Raymond's signing bandwagon in the first place. I don't mind him being signed by the Flames but I was too thrilled about how much he signed for. So far in his play this season he's been a dissapointment. He's got a few good games before he gets injured but just bad games after coming back. I thought give him a couple or 3 games after he's back and I am sure he'll get better. Nope. The guy's got speed but not using it. I must have seen glide along a few times vs Stars. I think Hartley should sit him out a game to let him think not to be comfortable out there. I am hoping he starts getting his mojo back.
Glencross. I don't really have any problem with his play but I am hoping he starts shooting more. He seems to be trying to pass more this season. He's got one of the best in the league and he's proven he can score goals. He cannot just rely on getting garbage goals by standing in front of the net. Come on Glennie shoot first pass later.
How about putting the Colborne-Monahan-Hudler line back together. It works very well last season. Have Gaudreau play with Granlund and put Jooris on the wing. So Gaudreau-Granlund-Jooris. I agree on some that if we put Stajan in the lineup, he should centred Glencross and Jones/Raymond/Byron, Bollig-Bouma-Raymond/Jones/Byron (Byron can also play centre on this line).
I am sure the Flames will beat the Canucks tonight to end the losing streak.
