No Game Day Thread yet for tonight's game, so here's a quick one.

We should be getting a projected lineup soon, but for now, here's what we know from the morning skates...

Interesting that we're seeing Vladar & Cooley for a second straight game. I don't know if that's good news or bad news for Wolf.

I'm going with good news and Wolf is penciled in as the starter.

Yeah. To me that indicates they are certain on Wolf being on the team to start the year but are considering Cooley vs Vladar. I still think Vladar has the inside track based on experience and contract. Get the feeling the coaches and management think really highly of Cooley though and don’t want to lose him to waivers.

They're really giving Honzek a fair chance, nice to see.

Backlund/Coleman wing is up for grabs as per usual

Going to the game, and that looks like a pretty decent lineup. I wanted to see Grush, but I could see those as the 6 to start the season. Solovyov as a top 4 might be a stretch, but pretty much anyone else will be a problem (other than perhaps Bean).

Edit: Forgot about Bahl as well. OK, not the top 6 starting the season and I am not sure we need to sign Barrie in that case.

Weegar/Miro
Andersson/Bahl
Bean/Grush or Sol
Pachal as the 7th.

Big (and maybe last) audition for the kids on the cusp.

Gotta think this is the last real look for some of these kids.
We’re winding down to real roster time.

Yeah, two games after tonight, so you'd think they'll want to be pretty close to the opening night roster for them.

If the sole method for picking who goes down is based on waiver exemptions the Flames are in trouble.

AHL goalie of the year twice. AHL MVP once. How could you possibly justify sending that guy down.

I’m guessing this is the last try out game and the starters are going to play the last two on Wed and Fri

I know Cooley gives a nice interview but he’s played a grand total of 6 games with bad numbers on a bad team

You really think this is a Vladar vs Cooley thing?

People do like their shiny new toys

Cooley will be packing his gear for Winsport after tonight.

Hope Bahl can get into the last two preseason games.

If Crushnikov is getting the short straw I hope he can get one last game to crush some Jets.

I suspect Vladar will be getting the lion's share of starts to begin the season, especially against the tougher opposition as Wolf is eased in to a regular role.

I think they’ll give them an equal chance to take the starting role.

I think the goalie rotation will be close to 50/50 this season. Unless someone gets really hot.
