Clearly, you're correct. Sign of panic. No other explanation for it.
Seriously, there are a bunch of weird things about those lineups beyond missing dudes. Usually you send all the kids on the road; they get to bond and the vets don't have to travel... but maybe they figured Victoria counts as traveling anyway? The fact that they're sending exactly 20 players to Calgary is also pretty weird - what if someone gets hurt?
Also, Goldobin/Horvat/Miller is your third line on a team of AHLers and kids?
At least the Flames' lines make sense; the guys who should make the team being at the top of the lineup.
