Yech.
Aliu does get the call.
I guess it isn't any less stupid than many of the other personel decisions this year but sure doesn't make much sense.

Can anyone tell us if Aliu is deserving of this callup?

Aliu and Sven coming back. What is going on at center ice? Are they ever going to try Cervenka there? 2 guys that can play C going down for 2 wingers coming up.
What are the lines going to be Saturday?

So another centre sent down? Does that mean Cervenka is going to get a chance to play up the middle now?

It is a desperate attempt to add toughness. Aliu will do what it takes to stay he will hit everyone and fight anyone is my guess.

I guess they feel the team needs a bit of a pest.

Have to believe that Cervenka is going to play center. I don't think he is ready. Maybe they are moving Cammi back to center. Anyway you slice it the flames got worse at center.

He's been fine, but his defensive zone play is a bit iffy. He's minus-13 for a reason.

Yeah... WTF is going on?
I get that the Flames feel like LA picked on them last night, but we need C's... this is all very bizarre.

Obviously something happened behind the scenes. I'm not pretending to even begin to speculate on what but some benign must have happened.

I don't know if Horak has been playing centre with the Flames, but he's been playing on the wing all year in Abbotsford.

"Centers? You don't need centers Bob. just throw Tanguay and Cammy down the middle you'll be fine!"
"Jay, I need some centers, Cant do my job right if I don't have all the right parts to this puzzle I am trying to put together."
"Nah Bob, the answers you need are in the room. Look at the bright side! I brought you Akim Aliu! Toughness!"
"Yeah.....great Jay. Thanks"

Fight anyone?
He hasn't fought throughout his whole career why would he now?

My guess is the line-up looks something like this:
Glencross-Stajan-Stempniak
Hudler-Cervenka-Iginla
Baertschi-Tanguay-Cammalleri
Comeau/Aliu-Begin-Jackman
Why not I guess.

First Line Centre

Boo Feaster, this sucks. Solution isn't in the room or on the farm. Need to go outside the organization to get tough and gritty. Still waiting for you to address same like you said you would during training camp.

Aliu has the highest points/game of all active NHLers.
