#Flames D pairings tonight:

Giordano-Hamilton
Brodie-Stone
Kulak-Bartkowski

this is so ####ing gross. makes me not want to watch the game. bartkowski is pretty much among the worst in the league at every single aspect of playing hockey except maybe skating in a straight line. in no game with calgary since he's been here has he done anything to warrant being in the lineup over any of kulak, wotherspoon, or now andersson.

i'm so looking forward to seeing all offensive momentum being torpedoed whenever bartkowksi steps on the ice. i can't wait to see how bartkowski messes up routine control in his own zone and give it away and run around his own zone for 2 minutes after he's due to come out because he can't clear it with control and every forward line he's paired with get exhausted. i can't wait to see how he fails to keep the play alive in the offensive zone if the other skaters somehow overcome the odds and get it there

not only that, but gg goes against his own arbitrary lhd-rhd pairings. there is a chance now for a guy who should never have gotten cut to begin the season, and who is already better than bartkowski and will only improve, and yet again gg insists on not icing the best lineup. infuriating and sickening

LOL I'm not a Bart fan either, but you should be thanking the lucky stars that we have Stone as the #4 and not a 6/7 guy like years past. Even now the top 4 looks pretty good still.
