Peluso played 2 games, didn't put up any points, but didn't have any goals against - he is an even player. Heck, he played much better than what I was expecting him to.
Flames have a history of not doing well against some bigger, more physical teams (like the Ducks). Throw him out for some short shifts and let him bang some bodies, and whomever is playing well can be rewarded with extra ice-time. Sounds like a win-win to me.
We all know that Peluso and Prout are here to come into games where the opposition is a big and physical team. Ducks, Oilers.. maybe the Kings. Flames are a very small team. I don't really have an issue, as long as Peluso skates well and plays physical without hurting the team.
