Which poster said that about Warrener that time he couldn't start the season?

His injury lead to Boyd being sent down despite a good camp and a few posters lost their minds.

Because some people fail to see the difference between a fourth liner or 7th defenseman and a young player that is more suited to be an upper roster player.

So any player under the age of 25 playing anywhere in any sport with any background is better than a guy in his 30s filling a role on the fourth line of a hockey team.

Re: Begin -- Besides guys, we've had so many game winning goals this season that his kind of just gets lost in all the awesome. Amirite?

Any word on Alui's status other than lower body day to day. No details have been mentioned from the Flames.

Maybe too much reading between the lines, but the timing of the Aliu injury and the acquisition of Testwuide may imply Aliu is out for a while.

I was thinking the same thing. Very similar kind of players and size.

He tweeted yesterday that he's in Minny, so he obviously traveled with the team.

Hopefully in the lineup for Jackman.

Jackman is not creating energy and isn't protection get our players. Without those two things he might as well be in the press box.

^ yep, really poor observation. Jackman has brought a lot of energy the last few games and scored a goal.

Really odd comment.

Why do you say that Moon? You're not excited Aliu is with the big club?

I wouldn't have guessed that from your 25 posts about it the other day arguing incessantly with anyone who didn't have a problem with it....

I usually don't have much issue with you or your posting style, but your post that he was responding to wasn't any better.

Aliu hasn't played an ECHL game since getting a fresh start in the Flames organization, and is now getting his second look with the big club.

You might not think much of him as a hockey player, but your post was ridiculous IMO.

Its on topic and not directed solely as commenting on another poster.

You may not agree with it but we are allowed to have opinions different from each other on topic.

Either way no need to keep going should have just ignored another personal attack from Captain Obvious and moved on.

It would be an apt comment if it was made last week. But Jackman has been very good - relative to his role - the last three games.

As others have said Jackman was good last game.

I read that at practice it was Aliu-Begin-Jackman

Comeau was back with Hudler and Sven

Cervenka was not on a line at practice, so he might be the odd guy out.

We will see tomorrow.
