I'll take that bet. I think he has looked fine on a line of plugs.

I think Kulak looked fine last season, and as a left hand shot I think that gives him the edge. Can Andersson or Stone play the left side? I honestly don't know. That might change my opinion.

Plus, I love the way Andersson is progressing, I think I'd rather see him in Stockton for now and playing a ton of minutes in all situations, will be great for his game. Call him up when a righty gets hurt.

I blame him for 2 of them with very bad rebound control. But I have high expectatiins for goalies.

Hate to break it to you also but he's a hopeful and a grinder and an AHLer. He needs to go and earn a spot.

Hate to break it to you, but he is an NHLer and will be on the team from opening night until the end of the season.

Bet he'd look better if he was in foo's spot tonight...

I doubt it. In an interview, Backlund confirmed that the coaching staff has already indicated to him and his linemates that the 3M line will be left together this year.

[Jeff Lebowski]

That was bad on Kulak and Lack.

[Enoch Root]

I don't think you can blame Lack for any of the goals, but his rebound control has not been great.

Edit: and again

Judging from how many times he's been a healthy scratch the last few seasons I would suggest he isn't an nhler.

[bubbsy]

Lol what dman was that?

[AC]

Wotherspoon with another turnover to start that I think as Laine came in for the hit.

[JurassicTunga12]

Kulak, bartkowski and wotherspoon have not looked good

[codynw]

This is gonna be another wasted season because of bad goaltending isn't it?

[Kovaz]

"The Jets will record their first 5 on 5 goal of this powerplay"

Uhh, what?

[Jeff Lebowski]

Trouba is lucky Bennett isn't on ice to smash his face repeatedly.

[tremorchrist]

Living in BC...if I subscribe to Rogers NHL Live will I see all Flame games here? Anybody know? Thx.

[dissentowner]

Lack is terrible, does not track the puck well at all, horrible rebound control. Would rather have Gillies as backup this year.

[AC]

"Trouba gives Matthew Tkachuk a shot"
"And so he should!"

Professionalism.

[dammage79]

Kulak coughed that puck up badly on that goal.
