2013/14 General Heat Discussion Thread

[Drury18]

So Ramo went down with an injury tonight in the Flames game. If out for awhile, they will need to call up (or sign) a goalie. MacDonald is out, so maybe Ortio gets a look?

[StrykerSteve]

I want Ortio to stay in the AHL this season.

[Drury18]

Brady Lamb has dropped the gloves against Owens.

End of 2nd

Heat lead 2-0

Shots on Goal - 23-15 Heat

[RyZ]

Hanowski sitting for Gilles is garbage.

If Ortio gets called up to Calgary, does Olivier Roy get a chance?

[Henry Fool]

I don't mind Ortio getting a couple of NHL games even if he struggles. Get that NHL shock out of the way this season so he knows what to expect when he challenges for a spot at the start of the next.

What's with Ortio wearing his old helmet?

At this point he would have to as MacDonald is injured. Roy would be the top, healthy goaltender in the system.

I think he was losing a bunch in the new one (that bad stretch in December/January) so he put the old one on. Goalie thing.

Granlund with another absolute beauty of a goal:

[Gravitykillr]

not sure if Sven meant to make that play but that was a beauty looking move to get it through to Jooris

[Lanny_McDonald]

When does Granlund get the callup? That is NHL talent on display. That is what Baertschi should be showing in the AHL. Great passing. Great head for the game. Great hands and a lethal shot. Granlund deserves to be in the NHL. He's quickly becoming my favorite under rated prospect, surpassing Bill Arnold.

That goal looked almost identical to the play he made to Jooris on his goal the night before as well.

The popcorn disintegrates like cotton candy as soon it touches liquid and the pretzels will make the inside of your mouth shrivel up like a slug that had salt sprinkled on it.

Somehow they've been able to get the Sleeman's and soda below freezing point without it turning to a solid, which is downright awesome. (That's just my theory).

Sleeman's, Panago and edible burgers... Sounds like heaven compared to the crap they sell at the Dome.

[Alberta_Beef]

Glad to see Baertschi contributing in back to back games. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
