[GDT] Preseason: Flames @ Jets. 6pm MT Sportsnet 960. (TSN 3 Jets region only)

[djsFlames]

Can we dress an NHL lineup for the last two games please?

[Jeff Lebowski]

No kidding waste of a shot.

[skcli]

With team structure like this I will not be surprised to see the team struggling out of the gate with a 0-7-2 record or something like that

But you can do something other than stand to the side and watch.

Calgary dressed an AHL defense and Monahan and Tkachuk barely played. Mehhh

If they were worried about winning the lineup would be very different. It's just not worth getting all worked up about

Give me a list of 5 NHL defencemen ... but Chris Butler has to be the best player of the 5.

Has Rittich even got a half decent chance to make a case for himself?

That said I haven't disliked Lack tonight. Hard to be perfect behind the turnover machine the defense is tonight.

Well there's your problem. You thought I was getting worked up. It was just a post stating the painfully obvious.

Or... maybe you put guys out there to see what they can do because, pre-season

He's been hung out to dry all night

[GioforPM]

Winnipeg winning like I expected Calgary to do against that AHL Canucks team last week.

Were there any soft goals? 4xpp goals.

I'd like to see him behind an NHL defense before making a real judgement on his play.

[Firebot]

Butler also wore 44, just saying. We need to say no to guys with 44.

Bartkowski? It's Bartkowski, he's done nothing but hurt the team all pre season. I can't be the only one here that thinks putting him on the pp is wasting valuable development time for other players in a preseason game. It's not possible.

[1qqaaz]

Okay, so now we know a team of 6/7 defensemen can't win against actual NHL teams.
Other than that, there's not much to take away from the team effort.
Lack struggled again, albeit 4 of the goals against were from the PP.

Most of the actual roster players were decent. Jankowski continues to look good.

[foshizzle11]

I'm liking what Dube brings, I think he will be an NHLer, not this year but really soon. Especially if no one else is stepping up. He seems to get it.
