[News] Flames recall Drew Shore

[genetic_phreek]

Colborne to D - No

Remember when we put Jim Vandermeer and Steve Staios as a Fwd? That's just as bad too. I think D should stay at D and Fwd stays at Fwd. Case closed.

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Drew Shore will become waiver eligible once he plays in 2 more NHL games. Was previously speculated it was 1 more NHL game.

Pat Steinberg @Fan960Steinberg
Shore could play in 1 NHL more game without becoming waiver eligible. Don't know if it'll come into play, but wanted to clarify.

I'm wondering if Bolig might find himself on waivers soon.

Rumour is the Rangers are looking for a bottom 6 forward.

Really? I find he adds nothing thought-inducing to the conversation. I'm not really sure why anyone would care about his opinion, to be honest. To each their own.

I disagree, Brent Burns made a great winger when they switched him.

Bollig and Glencross for Staal!

It's too bad Rhett's career ended so early, but his style of play made it so. He's better as a player than he is as a radio personality; can't stand Rhett on 960 in the morning, but I digress.

I'm with you, a grating annoying entitled attitude. He complains about everything and is generally unprofessional. I'd rather just listen to Steinberg talk to himself.

Thanks

Stephane Yelle played 991 NHL games. Closest comparable I can think of.

[Enoch Root]

yeah, rumours of Bouma's death are greatly exagerated

Bouma is in his 2nd full NHL season and is 24 years old. Unless we are planning on an Oileresque rebuild he should be still a valuable bottom six forward when the Flames come together.

Actually he was switched from W to D right after Minnie drafted him.

He is an anomoly - going from D to W is IMO a lot easier than vice versa. Wingers can play a straight line game, bang in the corner and feed/shoot to the middle. D positioning is so much harder.

Can't wait to see what he can do.

Shore's on the 2nd pairing D now?

Dear lord no. Steinberg's circular monologues are basically waterboarding.

[GioforPM]

Maybe Gratts should try D down in Addy and resurrect his career as a Regehr-type net clearing D presence.

I like Warrener in the am. You all do realize that the attitude thing is an act, right? That he's the comic relief? The thing I find funny is that he is the least knowledgeable on current hockey events - he's basically just like a fan perspective on a lot of things.
