It was a pre-season game. My takeaways are:
- I love my new seats in Sec 215.
- I just love this section of the dome. Even though it wasn't busy, it's got a better vibe.
Adios 224.
- Dube, Foo, Valimaki, Jank and Ryan were standouts.
- Ryan had some confusion at points, but new line mates, etc. He's offensive minded.
- Gio was in top form. Just grind em win defence along with some great offensive jumps.
- Brodie looked balanced tonight. Didn't push but didn't make too many on ice errors.
- I was reading the last posts and didn't even realize Bennett was out there tonight. (Pre-season non performing fan)
- There is a lot of confusion as to how to fit Dube on the roster, I think there is no confusion.
- Dube seems to have that puck gravity luck the puck loves him and his style of play.
- Lazar is on a short leash. Didn't play this game, but I worry for him. He's physically not able to keep up with the game. We will see him over the next week, but it's decision time.
- Many people have thought there is no roster room, but in a team that is cap-heavy
wanting to win, go with the best players for now and not their draft positions or expectations.
- Hamonic - Still hasn't found his game in Calgary.
All this said, pre-season... so if I had to watch this versus the Flames 2017-2018 season, this is looking a lot better.
