I don't want to like Shinkaruk (that face) but he is working hard out there and is battling in the tough areas. He's taken some hard hits but he pops right back up, no whining, looking around, just focused on the play. Takes some abuse in front of the net but fought for his ice and was in the right place at the right time. He doesn't look out of place at least. I would say he has a legit shot at camp to stick on this team.
Overall a decent game, hard to complain too much about anything. The team needs to compete, it's not about wins and losses really but how they are playing. They played hard last night and competed against a superior team but lost. That's all you can really asks for at this time of year.
After hearing the stat last night that the Flames have the most goals of any team from sub 22 year players things are looking good. There's talent on this team and it is young. A few tweaks to the system and a goalie and the Flames' future is looking bright.
