I can't embed tweets but Leslie said today he is the host of Flames road games for the whole season. I assume Roger will work all the home games, or someone else will.
Interesting that Millions has been scaled back to home games. I wonder why? I think Leslie is pretty good at the gig

If I had to guess I would say they're slowly going to phase out Roger. Sucks for him but if I'm being honest I think Leslie does a much better job and has a better pulse on the team.

I honestly think picking up David Schlemko was one of the biggest factors in us making the playoffs that year though. Our 3rd pairing of Schlemko-Diaz had this wierd dominance against 4th lines etc that stole us some huge games. The opposite of The Bartkowski Effect.
Relax, I simply looked up the 1st game of the year in 2014. I know it's not perfect, and many changes were made.

They could hold their own in the defensive zone, and they were pretty decent with the puck on their stick, both in making the breakout pass and controlling the play in the offensive zone.
They were fleet of foot and skilled enough to largely avoid the 4th line forechecking - although I do recall neither shying away from physicality, usually they got the short end of the stick in a collision.
Inserting someone good with the puck and who can also skate well in your bottom pairing will do wonders for the team. It's why I look forward to Kylington - Fox pushing Kulak, Bart, and Stone off our blueline and also why I was so disappointed when Kylington got sent down instead of Kulak.

Pretty much never the line up? Dude, his is so much more closer to reality. Your first half roster is especially bonkers!
You're missing both Colborne and Backlund, who had some healthy scratches but played regular roles in the first half. You have Baertschi and Setoguchi who only played 15 and 12 games that season for us as regulars. Regulars like Raymond, Jones and Stajan just vanished.
Ferland is a first half regular after only playing ten games until the end of Feb?
Being fair you stated you're just going off memory, but I had a good chuckle at that mystery line up.
I'll say it again - there were a whole bunch of one of a kind years for certain players. Jooris for example. Wideman (as a Flame) for another. Bouma for a third.
Does CP always have to nit pick everything to death? Honestly, the first post on the 2014 lineup was more than sufficient for the discussion. The "no your wrong" posts on CP lately are ruining a once good thing.

Hartley should win a Nobel Prize for making it to the second round with that team.
Not to downplay getting into the 2nd round, but they got the best possible match-up in the playoffs. They probably lose playing any other Western Conference playoff team.
