[GT] Flames Host Wild - Hanowski's First NHL Game

[Lanny_McDonald]

On the bright side the Flames have the makings of a three pretty decent lines for next year.

Glencross-Backlund-Cammalleri
Cervenka-Horak-Huder
Baertschi-Reinhart-Stempniak

Yes, they are small, but they sure play their asses off out there. They just need to find some defensemen that aren't playing as bad as Giordano that can keep the defensive zone clear.

Confused, and sometimes just makes dumb plays not in the "oh shoot i can't believe i just did that" but in the "whatever i'm still going to do it anyways" way... on the 3rd Minnesota goal, he turned the puck over at center ice by trying a drop pass in an area that already had 3-4 players buzzing around in it.

Not a chance, team is making huge changes

[djsFlames]

Oh please don't bring up Havlat.

There's no way I could hate Pominville a fraction as much as Havlat

Doubt Cervenka sticks around and there's no Tanguay.

You're right in that nobody is going to put up good numbers on the Heat because they are a defensive team, but it's definitely not because of lack of skill.

The Heat weren't scoring when they had Walter, Kolanos, Street, Horak, Baertschi, Brodie, and Reinhart in the lineup. If you think the skill level is getting any better than three AHL stars and four young, talented NHL caliber players, you are kidding yourself.

That's the role you can expect Hanowski and Agostino to play. Be the big body that creates space on a line with a couple of high skill guys, but not kill plays like some of the guys we've had the past couple of years.
