Since the team I got used to didn't have Giordano on it (last third of last season including playoffs) ....
I'm really looking forward to improvement.
The Flames established themselves as a top line and three top dmen in the playoffs. This fall we can look forward to ...
- adding back Giordano
- adding Hamilton
both of which make the defense core way more fun to watch, because the third pairing is fortified and won't require you to watch through your fingers
- young forwards getting better in Monahan and Gaudreau
- adding Bennett for a full season
- fingers crossed on a healthy Backlund
- Frolik
should mean the Flames are more of a possession team, and have more depth to role three lines that can all have an impact
- the Ortio Situation
really hope they iron this out before camp as I think he's up there with Backlund and Bennett as the difference between a team that likely makes the playoffs, or a team that serves notice that the could do some damage in said playoffs
nothing but positives.
