Anyone know why the PP centers seem to have such an edge over the PK guys?

They are a pleasure to watch, though scary sometimes -- let's hope they keep it together today and play the way we know they can!

GFG!!
BPs will usually show the regional Flames games with sound if the Canuckleheads aren't playing. What part of the city you in?

I would guess having the extra forward on the ice helps turn many of the scramble draws into wins for the center.

Very good point. They can win it to an open wing too.

Calgary Flames @NHLFlames
#Flames defenceman Ladislav Smid has returned to Calgary for personal reasons.

and it looks like Hartley had a change of heart and put in Baertschi instead of McGrattan:

Randy Sportak @SUNRandySportak
#flames Smid has gone home for personal reasons. Coach Hartley said Baerschi will play with Bouma and Bollig.

Is this Svens last year of waiver exemption? Management probably pushing to see what's there

Hartley let us in on lines. Should look the same as against San Jose if he doesn't have a change of heart. #Flames

I hate hearing about players taking time for personal reasons, especially after the ordeal Matt and Katie Stajan went through.

Hope everything is ok with Smid, hoping his wife is giving birth.

Does Wotherspoon get recalled?

Not talking about tonight only. They need another defencemen up I'd think if Smid is out for some time.

Thinking the same. If Smid is gone for a few games do they want diaz in the lineup every game?
