Mark "tickling the ice" Giordano! Ha!

Everyone is talking about 7 game streak and 7 points up on San Jose, but now that the Flames are at 89 points, they are also 7 from satisfying the snek!

Backs is actually pretty snarly this year, I wouldn't call it a mean streak, but there's times it's close. Love it.

Caller Dustin from last night was just replayed on the morning show.

Just shoot me.

[chummer]

It's so bad that the morning show wants to use more of it.

Another day and another win, this team just keeps on rolling.

That Kevin Rooney goal, 2:03 (not enough to be called a hold or interference?)

Technically, the Coyotes could still win a ROW tiebreaker, so for now, the magic number is 7.5.

However, if the Flames win 4 more games in regulation or overtime, Arizona can no longer win that tiebreaker, and loses the season series tiebreaker.

Technically still 7.5, effectively 7.

Todd Cordell on Oscar Fantenberg's debut:

"4) Oscar Fantenberg and Rasmus Andersson looked very good in their debut as a pairing. In ~12 minutes together, they allowed *checks notes* one shot on goal and zero scoring chances. If the Flames generated literally nothing offensively with them on the ice, you'd still happily take that from the 3rd pairing. But they did. The Flames spent the vast majority of the time on their toes with this duo out there. The ice was always tilted.

I'm not saying I want Juuso Valimaki or Oliver Kylington sitting. It's also important not to overreact to one game. With that said, I thought Fantenberg's shot/chance suppressing ability would nicely compliment Andersson's offensive upside and that was certainly the case in New Jersey. Hopefully it continues moving forward."

"Immediately your thought just goes to hoping he's OK, and I think the other team showed the same response and their trainers were out there too. That's when hockey becomes everyone on the same team, and everyone's hoping Mirco comes out alright." - Blake Coleman

So what happens when Neal gets healthy? I honestly can't see Czarnik coming out of the lineup anytime soon, as he's been flat out awesome since coming back in. So who comes out?

[Toonage]

My best guess is Czarnik comes out again.

Just can't see Neal sitting out, and unless they want to move Hathaway out for the playoffs (unlikely), Czarnik seems most likely to sit despite his recent hot streak.

our PK unit seems to have compressed down to five-ish guys

Backlund - Jankowski + Lindholm
and
Ryan - Hathaway + Lindholm

which means Frolik is really on the bubble.

Frolik or Czarnik is my guess.

Familiar!

Czarnik needs a big points game soon if he wants to stay in the line up.

You know it will be him that comes out when Neal is back. Defensively, he is the worst of the forwards so if he's not scoring, he's coming out.

I honestly don't see a lot difference in his play between before and during his little streak. The only thing that has changed is he got the bounces and the puck went in.

He was still generating offensive chances before and getting shots on net but he wasn't scoring.
