Since the TDL, Wolf has 10 starts, Markstrom has 7. Now, he was hurt for some, but absent that they'd be about even.
Call up young guys? There are injury callups but I'd bet that if they were trying to win, some of those injured players (like Coleman) would be playing. The Flames are now at 27 on the roster, so 4 more than the regular minimum. Plus, I think Klapka was the last non emergency callup allowed. The Wranglers are still playing too.

Again... nothing I've said has anything at all to do with the TDL.
Like... think of it it like this...
In this current Flames regular season, there have been two types of games... games we wanted to win because we had not yet been eliminated from playoff contention (these games we wanted our best linups and icetimes!)... and the other type are the games where winning or losing was 100% irrelevant because it was no longer possible to make the playoffs (these games we wanted to experiment with and try all kinds of neat things in becuase, in fact, losing these games would have been a huge benefit).
That's it. My last time trying to explain that I only care about what we did for the games after April 4th, when we were officially eliminated.
If people aren't getting it, then I guess people just aren't getting it.
