[GDT] Flames vs Isles - The Big Jankowski's debut (1620 days in the making)

[TheIronMaiden]

Dailyfaceoff has this as the line Jankoski is on.

Sam Bennett Mark Jankowski Alex Chiasson

can somebody confirm if this is correct?

[Toonage]

Just a guess.

No skate today, so no line rushes or anything. Won't know until prior to the game.

No reason Jankowski can't do the same in something as simple as his very first NHL game

[GreenLantern2814]

I've never been so excited for a late November game against the Islanders

[Toonage]

If I had to guess at the lines for tonight:

Versteeg-Monahan-Brouwer
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Bennett-Stajan-Chiasson
Ferland-Jankowski-Hathaway

Giordano-Hamilton
Brodie-Wideman
Kulak-Engelland

Elliott

Didn't he just lay there filling his diaper?

We should tamp down expectations a little. Some are acting like he's going to show up and be saviour Lundmark on day one. No one is that good.

I say let the kid play some minutes with decent linemates:

Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Ferland-Monahan-Brouwer
Bennett-Jankowski-Versteeg
Chiasson-Stajan-Hathaway

[Poe969]

It's his first NHL game, I wouldn't rush him too much or expect too much from him. I'm only expecting 20+ minutes and 3 goals, 2 assists and 9 PIM

Feels like the Flames play to the level of their opponents though I know this isn't always the case. Hope for a big night from Jankowski and a statement game from Elliott.

You know what, the Flames are still fragile. Maybe a bit of playing down to opponents too, given their recent losses.

But if there aren't any more QUESTIONABLE consecutive PHANTOM CRAP calls on the Flames today, then they may well stand a chance even with moose. Both the Sabres and Flyers games the Flames were not resilient and got down after the opposition pulled ahead, couldn't recover. Yes that's on the team. But both were spurred on by some eyebrow raising onslaughts on the team by the guys in stripes. I really hope the calls are substantial today at least...

No Tkachuk or Wideman getting the box for incidentally bumping into another player....please and thanks.

Really need the good Elliott to step up tonight. Best of luck to the kid.

Sean Monahan will never score a goal again.

Nah it's supposed to be Jesus.

[Table 5]

Ha, that's actually pretty well done.

[TheScorpion]

^ From an artistic standpoint, maybe, but from virtually every other perspective, it's No Good.

Should have done a Jesus google search, probably would have answered my own question and not looked like a dumb bum lol
