Feb 26 Practice - Gio = "maybe a gametime decision." Ramo starts Friday.

####ty news. Sounds like he'll miss some action but hopefully not to much. The Flames need to step it up.

usually when a top guy goes out a team picks it up for a game or two...hopefully they do and hopefully he is back after that

Gio is a tough #######. If Hartley is calling him a game time decision for tomorrow I'm betting he will play.

[BACKCHECK!!!]

Yeah, no news is not necessarily good news.

Just because the medical staff can't yet tell if something is torn/broken/whatever (for example they may need the swelling to go down before they can do the appropriate scan), that doesn't mean it will be any less torn/broken/whatever when they do find out.

Gotta give Ramo mad props for stepping up. These are the most pressure filled games of the season and Ramo has delivered twice in a row.

That's the feeling I have as well.

Game time decision =

I almost wish we could leave Ortio in AHL next season and continue to run with Ramo and Hiller

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the 'game time decision' comment is just smoke. It could be a game time decision that he's out for a month. Just have a bad feeling about this one, really hope I'm way off.

Does Raymond and/or Stajan get paid while away on personal matters? In "our" world, we normally get two "paid" working days leave before having to return.

That is a good question. Although, somehow I don't think they'll be hurting for the cash if that isn't the case.

Brad was probably ecstatic about the chance to call up Emile.

Hartley let it out of the bag when he said "we'll probably call someone up"

Let's see how Diaz handles 24 mins. per night!
