The things people will come up with, in order to find a negative to harp about...
As someone said, they have 3 games in 24 hours, so everyone is going to play. Veterans typically play at home and young guys on the road. Some specific thoughts:
1) new top line, so they will want to get them some time together
2) new PP, so they will want to get them some time together
3) on forward: Ruzicka, Coronato, Hunt, Jones, Klapka, Zary, Pospicil - that's 7 of the 12, hardly 'near opening day' lineup
4) on D, got a look at Oesterle, Gilbert, and Solovyov
How is it false confidence? Why do people try so hard to find the negative? When the Flames play all the kids in pre-season, people complain that the vets aren't getting enough time to be ready for Day 1. Play the vets, and people post crap like this.
Six of the goals last night were scored by: Coronato, Zary, Jones, and Oesterle
