I think Burke was right - Backlund has really improved his skating and looks way more dynamic.
Can he take Monahan to Sweden with him in the offseason?

I agree with this. Move up the two best performing forwards to get our top left wing going. Seems logical enough.

Are they saying that if that puck had crossed the line, they may have counted it even though the whistle went? Elliott may have well given up on it after hearing the whistle, so if that is how they are calling things now, then that's just dumb.

Monahan and Johnny should be forced to trade pay cheques with Backlund and Frolik this month.

Leave Brouwer with Bennett, promote Backlund and Frolik to line 1 with Johnny.

Why only a game? Give them a few weeks.

Flames got a goal on a play just like that earlier this year.

I made a little joke about it and people took it to heart. Sometimes I forget how sensitive some can be on an internet forum. Moving on.

Johnny looks completely ineffective. His stick handling is not creating dangerous chances. Changing his line mates will not correct that.
