Seriously so dumb. I don't really care because I won't be watching the game, but why can't Jankowski go to the top line, Lazar to the third and Shore to the fourth?

They think there's more to shore.could also see how working with a RH center works for Gaudreau as well.

Getting upset with this at this point is just wasting energy.

It's obvious now they're just trying some things out in this remaining stretch. I'm sure Janko will get to center Johnny at some point as well.

Entirely likely Jankowski sees some time as 1C tonight

Also, no Stajan. That's a significant thing.

And if there's one thing I would have hoped to see although still pretty insignificant is Lazar get rewarded some top sixinuyes for his consistent effort the past half of this season.

But again, I think they want to also see if Foo has some top six upside as well.

I'm only watching to see Foo and Anderson. Wish there was an app that automatically flips the channel whenever McDavid comes on screen especially on commercials.

This might be the worst loss of the year or hopefully a hatty by Foo

Just brain dead coaching, goin on 2 seasons now.

Hopefully Foo has a good game, this team could use a nice surprise to end the season.

More GG logic. Stajan in no world is worse than Brouwer. Play stajan out of respect now ... not like it matters anyway.

Maybe he's making all these decisions to try and be fired. By the final game, we'll have Brouwer with a shift on every single line.

It's all a conspiracy. Gulutzan wants out as much as we want him gone.

Or he knows he is going to be fired and is just screwing the team?

We call this the "Sam Raimi maneuver" even though it was unsuccessful when attempted during the making of Spiderman 3.

Holy crap guys, relax on the lineup stuff. It's a relatively meaningless games. Let's get a look at some players who haven't played much this year.


Moving on...

Well Shore does fit in with the Flames MO with his 5.2% shooting percentage over 232 games. Lazar has a career 5.8% shooting percentage, and Hathaway has a career 3.3%. All those guys bring some positives but in what universe do they belong anywhere other than the 4th line? And we puzzle on how unlucky the Flames are to outshoot teams and still lose.

I know these games are meaningless but they are also dull as s***. The Flames have one goal in their last 4 games. Now that Johnny is back, why not put him with the centre who has the biggest offensive upside and best finishing ability on the team. You're sure that will happen later, are you? Why? If experience has shown us one thing, it's that just because something makes sense doesn't mean GG will do it.

Ha, so Gulutzan has benched the one guy who's scored a goal lately. Hilarious.
