Janko better show up. I'm tired of him making me feel sad when I watch him play the hockey.

Not sure about this.  This is supposed to be Rittich’s team.  I think he should have got the chance tonight to sink or swim.

Gilbertson disagrees.
 
Wes Gilbertson  @WesGilbertson 
Looks like #Flames forward Sam Bennett will centre third line. Fourth line looks like Rinaldo-Ryan-Rieder. And Mark Jankowski sits Game 1.

			If Talbot can get past the first few shots he will be okay... if he fails, I can see Rittich coming in hot.

			Steinberg tweeted he jumped the gun... It does look like Jankowski is out and Rinaldo is in.

			Damn, I'd pretty much rather see anyone else than Jank right now. If we had a whole preseason I'd give him the chance to earn a spot back but IMO he has lost that and should be well behind a few of the scratches. 
 
EDIT: Okay, I'll just wait and see who skates out on the ice.

			That third line is going to be energy for us. They each have something to prove. 
 
One is not washed up, one is not a burn out, one still has more to prove. 
 
Love it.

			How sad that it makes me excited when a particular player on my favorite team is a healthy scratch. I'm not alone on this either. The Jankowski/Flames relationship needs to end this off season.

I really hope Bennett has an impact at centre and shows well tonight!!
