Both our goalies look weird. Hiller looks like a bigger Peter Dinklage.

I love Hudler, but if there ever was going to be a time to sell high, Hudler is it.
He's just not going to re-sign for a minimal amount. I wouldn't expect him to, he's earned a raise. I'd say the Flames got far more than they paid for during his tenure. I really don't see how it's in the cards to get him re-signed to a non crippling deal.

We should still sell him at the deadline with a wink-wink nudge-nudge to come back in July!

Not at his asking price. Flames already have enough of that type of player. They need to get bigger and stronger. We get pushed around big time and it only gets worse in the playoffs.

Looked pretty solid in the 1st, especially since he didn't stand out in any way. For a defenseman that's a great sign.

He had a bit of trouble clearing the puck first shift, that was the only real negative I noticed. I really liked how he looked on the power play. Good size, seems to have have good mobility, good point shot.

Seems promising so far. If he continues to play well it may give management more confidence to move one or two veteran d-men this deadline.

Monahan getting back on track. I am so excited for him as he looks to be a guy who just quietly does his thing and nets 30-30 every year.

[StrykerSteve]

Raymond is now on a three game point streak with 2 goals and 3 assists with Stockton.

[dissentowner]

Can we trade Eric Francis?

Ramo looked like Samuel L Jackson from Unbreakable there

Oh lord, Julie-Stewart from the Ducks broadcast rivals Kristen Hallett in terms of beauty.

[bob-loblaw]

Just get Dougie on the power play.

[Wolfman]

Did Francis just say Hiller is having a good game?! Lol

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Francis does have a point, we need to surround Johnny with some big, scary power forwards.

[StrykerSteve]

Ducks giving Calgary all sorts of time with the puck at the points. Not being aggressive at all. Really need to take advantage of it.

Contrary to popular belief, Hiller is actually playing good. Those two goals were screened nicely.
