Looking forward to hearing Wills again, I liked his calls from Penticton.

That is also a super green / bubble line-up. It could be in tough depending on how experienced the lineup is that the Avs ice.

[RyZ]

Thats a pretty weak D group. I sure hope Ramo plays at least 30 tonight as well.

This could be another boring night for Flames fans. We'll get to see some of the kids and D tryouts respond to tough minutes.

[indes]

Heh, only 3 right wingers in the game!

[Prufrock]

All I want is Johnny and Bennett playing in the same game... Hear my plea, Hartley!

[old-fart]

That D doesn't look like anyone that will actually play for the Flames this year (I don't hold out much hope for Diaz as he seems redundant but not as good as Russell). The forward lines look average as well. The goalies should get a good workout.

edit: I see in the lineup Sureloss posted that Russell has been added - so one actual D from the likely opening day roster.

I like how it says Johnny on the official roster sheet.

That's right, Bennett is not listed amongst the potential Flames players who can play tonight in the post just 7 above yours that you read.

The Flames site has it a bit different, they've got:

Culkin-Diaz
Yonkman-Ramage
Sieloff-Brookbank

That was the projected lineup from yesterday's practice.

Sounds like more work for Ramo tonight. Got just one period on Friday, likely to see two periods tonight. #Flames

Baertschi on the team list but not included in the expected lines??

[IliketoPuck]

I noticed Schumacher is playing for the Avs. Is he pretty fast?

[djsFlames]

Happy to see Ramo get more net time.

What a weird roster though. Won't be surprised to see us get shutout again. I don't know if any of those lines have the right mix of players to produce offence (well against the Avs top guys). What's going on with that second line? Would be nice if we could do a game like Van did and dress a near opening game lineup just to see how we fare. This is getting kind of stupid. Bollig Reinhart and Bouma aren't going to be able to outplay any of Iggy/MacKinnon/Tangs/Duchene/ROR, no matter how well they play. Neither is that third line. How is this "testing" the guys... it's setting them up to fail.

It's gonna be a bad one again unless Ramo can steal us the game, that's for sure....
