I would think, if you move Ryan up, why not Mangiapane up also, or is it a LW thing, as good as Ryan is playing including this game, maybe Jankowski and Neal could have played with Gaudreau, but its the powerplay losing this game not the top line.

He has a good shot. And then nothing else. And he is really small. Not a good 4th line fit. Don't think the Flames will have him in the lineup next year.

I don't think size matters that much these day's on a 4th line. I'm pretty sure Czarnik and Ryan are the same height? Or close to it at least.

but your point is well taken. There are plenty of guys on the Oilers that aren't NHL'ers hahaha

Hopefully they'll push a bit in the final 10.

Don't think there is too much urgency there though.

Kyllington will have a tough time cracking the Flames top 6 in the playoffs. Solid depth though.

Wow, didn't realize it, but Ryan is only an inch taller. Czarnik looks like a small 5.9 player though.

"bouncing puck in the slot"

Yeah, story of the game.

[Kswiss]

I know its a long shot. And on a unrelated request, since the Ducks are out of the playoffs tonight i want to see the FLYING V !! ( love the jerseys)

Sure, but he also hasn't scored in 6, and his last goal vs Ottawa was a back-door tap in which Frolik essentially banked off him. His goal prior to that was an empty netter.

By my count he hasn't been able to beat a goalie for a goal in 26+ shots.
