[GDT] Flames @ Canucks | 8:00PM MT | FAN960, SNWEST

[hockey.modern]

Fan960Steinberg: #Flames have sent Dustin Stevenson to Stockton. Mason McDonald assigned back to QMJHL.

@Fan960Wills: Ryan Miller will start in goal, likely go the distance for #Canucks vs. #Flames tonight. #VANvsCGY

Hey, Blair Riley is on the gamesheet tonight

[CroFlames]

Each preseason game takes us a step closer to the regular season. Can't wait boys.

[dammage79]

Defense pairings made by me:

Andersson-Wilson
Kylington-Morrisson
Kulak-Wotherspoon
Kanzig
Still a better D corps than what VAN brought to the table last night. Very young though, those kids are going to into the furnace against the VAN mainstays.

[btimbit]

Should be interesting. Last night we iced more NHLers, tonight it's the opposite. Pretty young D against the likes of the Sedins

[mrdonkey]

Flames icing an entire roster of players fighting for spots, against 3/4 of the Canucks opening night lineup. Should be interesting to see who rises up to the challenge.

Gonna be a lot of cuts coming after this game, methinks.

[H2SO4(aq)]

pretty awful lineup. Thought we would at least see backlund.

[CroFlames]

Six NHLers in the lineup, two of which are Bollig and Raymond haha.

Watch them still light up the Canucks

I like how Raymond is just listed as 'F.'

So fitting, somehow.

[XeO]

Time to play make your own lines! I'll go first

Agostino - Jooris - Poirier
Klimchuk - Arnold - Granlund
Raymond - Stajan - Jones
Bollig - Colbourne - Hathaway
Van Brabant - Elson - Riley

Kylington - Andersson
Kulak - Morrison
Wotherspoon - Wilson
Kanzig

Ramo
Ortio

[GranteedEV]

Agostino-Stajan-Jones
Klimchuk-Granlund-Jooris
Raymond-Arnold-Poirier
Van Brabant-Elson-Hathaway
Bollig-Colborne-Riley

Wilson-Morrison
Wotherspoon-Kulak
Kylington-Andersson
Kanzig

Ramo
Ortio

Haha, if we come out of Van with a W it'll be glorious.

[GoJetsGo]

I think Ramo steps up and plays a big game giving our less experienced roster a good shot at taking this one.

Derek Wills @Fan960Wills
#Flames projected lines vs. #Canucks:
Bollig-Stajan-Jones
Raymond-Colborne-Poirier
Jooris-Granlund-Hathaway
Klimchuk-Elson-Riley
#VANvsCGY

Aaron Vickers @AAVickers
#Flames D looking like: Wilson-Andersson; Kulak-Kylington; Wotherspoon-Morrison. Again, expect Ramo for 60 minutes.

[Moneyhands23]

I'll be sitting 15 rows behind the Canucks goalie for 2 periods! Hope our kids give them a serious beating tonight!!!

Arnold dealing with dental pains

Wes Gilbertson @SUNGilbertson
Despite being listed on potential game roster, #Flames C Bill Arnold is not on ice in Vancouver. Spent yesterday in dental chair.

[Reggie Dunlop]

The Raymond-Colborne-Poirier line is interesting.

Colborne has been playing with a bit more snark this camp. Poirier needs a big game here. They could make for a good pairing.

[Mony]

Vancouver has 5 Alexs on their roster tonight.

[curves2000]

I have a really dumb question but it appears that the both the Canucks yesterday and the Flames today both flew into their away cities on game day. According to the Flames Instagram feed, the Flames arrived in Vancouver this morning and are currently practicing at Rogers Arena. Where do the players nap and eat during their afternoon prior to the game? Usually for short flights like this the teams fly out right after the game so I don't know if the Flames got a hotel for their Vancouver stay.

Just an interesting observation if anybody knew the answers.

It sounds like he took an accidental high stick from Gio in practice yesterday. He was supposed to play last night, but instead had to have an emergency double root canal.
