[GDT] Flames @ Avs - 7PM (MDT)

[buyakasha]

The you better bring your A game or you're cut line up

[Samiz]

Any chance the Colorado broadcast team picks this up? I agree that it's not a huge deal since it's preseason but it's still kind of ridiculous that some games have coverage and some don't

That sucks about it not being broadcast. So much for eating tacos and watching the Flames play.

No their website says they aren't streaming it either.

I was going to say, "Can't wait to watch how Wilsson plays together tonight."

But I guess I have to wait on the edge of my seat for tweets to tell me...

Unfortunately, due to stupid work obligations, I won't be making it to the game tonight.

You need priorities sir.

[gilligans_off]

At least we don't have blackouts during the regular season anymore.

[Erick Estrada]

This is probably an important start for Ortio. I get the feeling the Flames are willing to roll the dice and put him through waivers if he doesn't have a good preseason showing.

[SportsJunky]

I just heard Sample00 on NHL radio raving about Ferland's physicality in the playoffs last year. He made great points. Then, the very next caller was named Chad and he made some great points about Emile Poirier. Flames talk on the airwaves, I loved it.

[Finger Cookin]

Eh, not too worried about no broadcast for a preseason game.

[puckedoff]

I prefer my games livetweeted anyways, that's how I follow along during the regular season and playoffs.

[redmile04]

Probably in the minority based on the posts but could care less about a preseason game being broadcasted especially on a TNF NFL night and I watch all 82 games, both on TV and live tweeting lol.

On a positive note for those that are upset, next 2 games are on TV!

Even If ortio gives up 5 goals in each of his next pre season games, we won't be exposing him to waivers.

[Poe969]

I wouldn't be too sure. If BT can't find a taker for Hiller and the Flames are "stuck" with him they'll have to move down Ortio. It isn't the most desirable situation but it is possible. At the beginning of the season, aren't a lot of pretty decent prospects put on waivers but make it through because most teams can't really take any more contracts or something like that?

[calumniate]

Lineups:

[icarus]

I wonder if number #24 on the Avs roster is, you know, going to get pucks in deep and give it 110% and leave it all on the ice and try to get a big two points.

[GioforPM]

They list Jooris, Colborne, Granlund as Cs despite where they played most of last year. I bet the Cs will be only Stajan, Bennett, Shore and maybe Granlund. Apparently the Flames will only have Jones on RW, too.

I'd like to see how Bennett/Poirier or Bennett/Colborne work.

[Finger Cookin]

Wasn't Granlund a C most of this time here last year?
