I'll stick with the smart people.

- With Sutter at the helm we don't get past the first round.

- Who replaces Sutter as coach? I dunno...an assistant for a bit.
- Deal Markstrom...high draft picks? We have seen his best stuff, we don't need a player back, picks are fine but his contract off the books (or portion) would be amazing.

- Send Lucic with Hanifin, yeah to dump that contract (or portion) and get him out of Flames silks.
- Kylington? Without a firm timeline from him buy him out or waive him.

- Bring up Wolf to back up Vladar.

- Deal Markstrom. Um...sure....to whom and for whom and what? Not damn likely.

..among other things.

Username checks out.

Think he meant poison him

I have literally never heard this before

All offence in the playoff’s does this:
- with a little luck, you barely get past the kings in the first round
- playing a team having a goaltender meltdown wins you the second round
- you get completely destroyed in the third round

GranteedEV · 12-08-2022, 07:50 PM

The lines I would like to see:

The Drafted Line
Ruzicka - Backlund - Mangiapane

These three hooked up for a goal a few games ago and it was an absolute snipe. Mangiapane is just flat out better with Backlund, and Ruzicka seems to be making Backlund better

The Responsible Snipers Line
Coleman - Lindholm - Toffoli
Three guys who can match up with anyone. Play them against the Auston Matthews, Tage Thompson, Jack Eichel type super lines and I bet they'll come out on top.

The Balanced Skill Line
Huberdeau - Kadri - Phillips

I just think Phillips' speed and soft skill can help Huberdeau, in a similar manner to how Anthony Duclair helped him last year.

I also think Kadri's snarl, speed down the middle, and puck skill can help Huberdeau, in a similar manner to how Sam Bennett helped him last year.

I also think Huberdeau's size and cycle game can help Kadri (he had a lot of chemistry last year with guys like Rantanen and Nichushkin) as well as Phillips.

The fourcheckstra Line
Dube/Lucic/Lewis - Dube/Lewis- Dube/Ritchie/Lewis

Adding a top nine forward to your spare line is exactly where you get depth from. There are options, but it starts with having Dube on that line. It should not be considered a demotion for him. He's the fastest player on the team sans Kylington, and his speed is exactly what that line needs.

Still room for a Pelettier, Zohorna, or Zary callup to really make it potent but this line would be a marked improvement over anything we've trotted out as a so-called fourth line. Maybe Lucic can find some of that level of play he had opposite Dube back in the 2020 play-ins. Maybe Lewis can find some of that level of play he had in last year's playoffs. Maybe Ritchie can be a Garnet Hathaway type for us. But the line is sorely missing someone who can drive the puck north.

Yikes! I'm surprised it's taken me this long, but I've finally used the ignore function for the very first time.

Ok
You’re either 12 and have zero life experience of your own
Or
Not very witty and trying to be controversial

Either way let’s just say you forever win the internet and you don’t have to speak any longer

Job well done Flames, he's earned this, give him a fair chance and it's on him now to sink or swim.

- drivel.

I know, losing to Dallas was unfortunate. What a kick in the pants 2004 was too. We were only one goal away (it was in!) from the second, third and fourth rounds with Sutter at the helm. Look what LA did with one of Sutter’s assistants in 2017-18. They should have made that move much earlier and they would have had more success.
