Either people are trying to be cheeky or have zero desire to even try and win the next game.

Because if you want the Flames to win, and there's no reason to not want them to win and at least try to pull off the miracle, starting Gillies makes zero sense in my eyes.
That's nice and all. But with Elliott: 0-3, Johnson: who the heck knows, is his groin even ready to go? Just because he sits on the bench doesn't mean he's healthy.

Gillies should start because even if he gets shelled, it's first hand experience to use going into the off season.

And the wackiest gambits usually pay off. Just ask Tim Brady when he supplanted Drew Bledsoe
