Looks like Pospisil might have a NHL debut.

Are they going to Seattle after the practice or are they already there?

kipperiggy · 11-03-2023, 10:09 AM

Hunt over Greer is awful. Actually so is Dube over Greer

I don't mind Hunt over Greer ... just glad it's not Hunt in the top six anymore.

Harry Lime · 11-03-2023, 10:13 AM

Hey, they remembered that dube is a better center than winger! And they are stopping shoehorning a natural winger into the center position. And they are one player away from Hube-Dube-Duehr.

Was bizarre seeing him used like he is a star or something.

Don't mind a 4th liner playing on the 4th line.

I like that we're getting different looks right now. Pospisil has played well so it's good to see what we have in him.

Huska has a man crush on Hunt.

TheIronMaiden · 11-03-2023, 10:30 AM

Pospisil is a loose cannon. I hope he doesn't do anything dangerous or stupid.

Enoch Root · 11-03-2023, 10:31 AM

Came to see why Huska is a terrible coach today, leaving satisfied

FBI · 11-03-2023, 10:36 AM

I will actually be at the game tomorrow.. When we booked the tickets a few months ago I was super excited, but now I guess I'm just cheering for the young guys and an entertaining game..

Today? He just is.

Coronato needs a break. NHL workload so much higher then college. AHL stint is a good idea.

Too early to celebrate, but they may have finally found some chemistry by adding Zary to the Kadri line.

They haven't found chemistry with Huberdeau yet, but it's not Lindholm. Time to try him with Backlund for a sustained period of time.

Dube continues to be the odd man bouncing around the line up. I get he is versatile, but he changes lines and positions just about every night. He had some chemistry with Kadri. Put him on the RW on that line.

Stop messing with the one good line the Flames have. Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman is consistently good. The one exception is if Huberdeau is joining the line.

The "they will call up Wolf regularly" crowd has been pretty quiet. The Flames haven't even been able to get Vladar starts despite Markstrom being very mediocre and the Flames on a 5 game skid. It's time to make that crowd right by giving Wolf a game or two. A top flight goalie could make a big difference to this team.

Enoch Root · 11-03-2023, 10:48 AM

Personally, I would like to see the team playing a little better before I put Wolf behind them.

What I would be doing right now is playing Vladar regularly, to get him going, in order to build up his value.

FanIn80 · 11-03-2023, 10:51 AM

Well at least Coronato's finally been moved off the 4th line.

gvitaly · 11-03-2023, 11:01 AM

I think Duehr might sit for a game soon.

The 4th line energy has slowly been decreasing each game. I have a hard time recalling the last time they swung momentum the Flames way. In the last 3 games that line seems to give up more chances against, get hemmed in their own zone, and rarely generate anything offensively.

Personally, I want to see Duehr on the Backlund line. I think his checking game would be a good fit on that line.

868904 · 11-03-2023, 11:12 AM

It was pretty stupid to have Coronato playing centre between Walker and Greer last game. That line got caved in. Were caught out against the Stars top line twice and were lucky they didn't get scored on. Huska benched them after that, but it really wasn't the players fault there. Why did he put a rookie winger at centre between two AHL/NHL tweeners? What did he expect was going to happen? Of course DeBoer was going to try and take advantage of that situation.

He could have easily had Sharagovich centre that line, which has been effective, and had Coronato with Kadri and Zary.

I have no opinion on the topic, but I respect that this is your brand now. Please never stop.

Paulie Walnuts · 11-03-2023, 11:23 AM

The team isn't playing the way Huska said they would for sure.

I would not subject Wolf to this until maybe later in the year as we integrate him into the team to become the starter for next season.
