Apparently Bart draws back in next game?

Oh, I do enjoy each and every game, have no fear.

I also have no problem giving credit where and when it is due, my dislike of certain players is not irrational and one sided.

If Brouwer has a good game, I will give him credit for such. Same with Bartkowski. Nothing would make me happier than to see Brouwer earn that $4.5MM, or for Bartkowski to be a steady hand on the bottom pairing.

I'm still waiting for the opportunity to heap praise on them to present itself.

Brouwer has had lots of good games this year. Maybe try watching without ####-stained glasses on.

The issue with Brouwer is you have to forget his contract. Once you do that you can appreciate his play on the 4th line. As it is right now that contract isn't killing the Flames cap situation, so I try not to get to fussed about it. The year after next it will be amnissie, and I'm guessing he gets bought out.

COLUMBUS - Glen Gulutzan has confirmed he will run with the same lineup he used on Monday when his club faces off against the Columbus Blue Jackets:

Sam Bennett - Mark Jankowski - Jaromir Jagr

Kris Versteeg - Freddie Hamilton - Troy Brouwer

DEFENCE

TJ Brodie - Travis Hamonic

Honest question but why? What has Lazar done to be in over anyone?

Not to say Hamilton has either because I think he's not an nhler but at least he's better defensively.

Lazar's time in Calgary is likely coming to an end. Never seen someone work so hard and accomplish so little. He skates hard for zero purpose.

The poster I was replying to said "If Brouwer has a good game, I will give him credit for such. Nothing would make me happier than to see Brouwer earn that $4.5MM." Sure he's over paid, nothing we can do about that, it's crying over spilled milk. He's had more good games than bad by a fair margin.

Buying out a guy with the nickname of Shankapotamus should be illegal.

I would also like to submit Olli Jokinen, the original behind the net swooper, for consideration.

Yea sorry guys..

I noticed the tweet and, although I know it's somewhat irrational, got mad about it cause in all honesty he is the one player on the 23 man roster I have lost all patience for.

I've been to games live and said to my buddy "hey Bart's actually playing well tonight" and before the night is through he's made a couple mistakes that cost us at least 1 goal.

I can see positives in Brouwer, Lazar, F. Hamilton and all the fringe players but I just can't, for the life of me, do so for Bart anymore.

I didn't mean to get everyone worked up with the tread haaha just to inform on what a (somewhat?) reliable source reported.

GFG!

Stone has been better at getting shots through. In fact with Hamilton/Gio struggling and Brodie possessed by Tanguay, maybe he's been our best D in that regard. Kulak has been better in the D-zone and neutral zone while still having moments in the O-zone.

They're a good pair, and neither deserves to sit. But I do think that overall I have had more positive to say about Kulak than Stone on a game-to-game basis.

Maybe Stone should be playing with Brodie, but ideally Hamonic finds his game.

Don't change what you're doing! You were just posting info that we didn't have and for sure a reliable source.

I don't want to see Kulak sat for Anyone unless he's dogging it, but if he was being sat there must have been a reason. I just think there are some that pull the pitchforks and torches out at the drop of a hat.

You're good lets beat the Jackets, GFG!
