Taking a while to get to 5000
|
They send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue!
Or maybe just the penalty box if they send one of ours to the ice. Let's keep this somewhat civil.

Hopefully the Flames kick off another win streak to get some breathing room in the pack. This road trip could be a blessing.

It would be nice if the Flames win and create some distance between themselves and the Hawks.

I had a dream last night the Flames went down 5-0 in the first period against the Sharks in San Jose before I shut it off. I dunno how that relates to this game...

That game mentally broke me for a bit as a fan.

Nystrom was a beast in the first period of that game... couldn't believe it when Kaner sealed the deal that day on the comeback. Crushing loss at the time no doubt.

The other day's thread still applies (mostly)

The 'Hawks are struggling offensively, and Q has gone to the Ultra Line Blender to finds some magic...I haven't seen a Chicago source with probable lines, but, one has reported AA to WING with Schmaltz/Kane
Line 1 (but really line 2) Duclair Toews Debrincat (only Debrincat has been any good lately)
Line 2 (but really Line 1) Anisimov Schmaltz Kane ...With Schmaltz at C and AA at LW for the 1st time this season
From here it is guesswork, as Who knows what the Blender will spit out
Line 3
Hartman Kampf Wingels (lately)
Line 4
Hinostrosa (has bounced up to line 1 often) Bouma Jurco (Could be Sharp at C or LW with Hinostrosa filling the other, if Bouma is a scratch)
Probable forward scratch Sharp (he seems done, it was a nice career)
Defense (this,again has been mix and match)
1st Pair Keith Oesterle
2nd Pair Forsling Kempny (wouldn't be surprised to see Rutta dress for Kempny, although Kempny leads the team in +/-)
3rd Pair Murphy Seabrook (Gustafsson might dress for either, Seabrook has been a slow, turnover machine this year)
Glass has the Net...Rebound control, IMO, is why the guy has been a career minor leaguer...although Forsberg has not been much better.
If you get a chance, look at a shot chart from the Vancouver game from Thursday. The 'Hawk D has been TERRIBLE at denying quality chances.
Also, 'Hawk fans are praying that we get NO power plays...we are far more likely to give up a SHG or a wretched odd man rush against that we are to score a PPG...The other night the 'Nucks got a 2 on 1 against Debrincat, the only man back in a 4 forward set that was caught on the ice when the Vancouver guy came out of the box!
This is NOT the 'Hawks you are used to. 10 of the forwards on the roster weren't on the roster 2 years ago. Only 3 of the D-Men on the active roster were NHL regulars, even last year. And the 2 goalies are rooks with less than 10 career wins COMBINED.
I'll be around to take whatever abuse that my team earns for me...but, THIS Chicago fan recognizes a rebuild "on the fly" with the way the current team is constructed.
Good Luck to you and your guys...catch you at game time.

The changes are Bouma and Wingels out...to make the 4th line Saad/Hartman/Sharp, the 3rd line Hinostrosa/Kampf/Jurco and perhaps a swap of D-men, likely Rutta out again.
Glass and his bad rebound control will again be net. If Forsberg does come off the bench, watch how awful and adventurous his puck handling skills (or lack thereof) are, behind the net...he is good for at least one egregious giveaway per game.
I am battling bronchitis, and have decided that I am an infection control risk, so I called in sick, and will be able to join you guys and gals on the game thread tonight, when I decide to crawl out from under my blankets...good luck and see you then.

Glass. The gift that keeps on giving. 8-2 Flames. If Forsberg is in net 4-2 Flames. If a combination of the two, 6-2 Flames. If the Flames decline every Blackhawks penalty 10-2 Flames.

It was. Hammers home just how much I hate those aft games... reminds me too of the playoff series against Detroit where it seemed every game at the Joe was an afternoon game that we got slaughtered in.
