Bahl 6'6"
Mantha 6'5"
Honzek 6'4
Lomberg 5'9" (but plays like he is 6'9"!!)
I look forward to adding McQueen (6'5") into the lineup next season! (I wish).
Lots of sandpaper and lots of size in the prospect pool, alongside a lot of skill too (and with skill in some cases, which is the best combo).
I wouldn't be surprised if the Flames catch these guys looking past them tonight and take the win - the Canucks will really have to work tonight to get the win, and they just might get overwhelmed by the Flames' skating tonight. Should be a fun game, win or lose.

Agreed. Speed and size - it's a great combo, and Conroy seems to be moving the team in that direction.
The Flames have been small and soft for several years, and it's gross. I am not asking for the Broadstreet Bullies, but you have to have physicality and swagger. You have to be able to play a big game, as well as a fast game. Guys like Pospisil, Klapka and Lomberg make a HUGE difference in that department.
