Perron plays well with Crosby, and I am pretty sure Arcobello is filling in for B. Bennett. They probably don't want to move the chemistry.

I wonder if we'll get Fleury tonight, or if Greiss might get the start? Fleury has only started back-to-back games once this season, and he got lit up in the second game and was pulled less than a minute into the second period. Chances are that Greiss starts one of the two games this weekend, and they might want to keep Fleury for the Canucks (like the Sharks did with Neimi).

Great write up, one of your best, I think. I obviously want the Flames to win but I have both Crosby and Malkin in my pool so I hope the score is high. I am hoping for a 5-4 Flames win!

[Vinny01]

I love going into every game legitimately thinking the flames will win. I know they won't win them all but they certainly can beat any team (unless they are on the road in Anaheim that is)

The rest of your pool-mates should get lifetime bans from fantasy hockey.

hahaha To be fair I had to trade both Claude Giroux and Ryan Johanssen for Malkin and Landeskog, so it was actually pretty even

Will be interesting to see if Bollig makes him answer the bell like he did with Aulie.

You could put a pylon beside Crosby and it'd score 30 goals.

[polak]

Early morning to hit all this fresh cocaine in the mountains tomorrow so I'm happy there's a game on tonight since I'm staying in. Chalking this one up as a loss in my head but hopefully they can surprise!

[AcGold]

Really looking forward to watching Gio covering Crosby, how good is Gio exactly?

I have Crosby and Gio, so hopefully they don't cancel each other out.

I think the flames do well tonight if they keep with the speed game.

Also have Gio, Brodie, and Hudler, so a high scorer would really help me out

I have Monahan and Gaudreau so I agree

[Ozy_Flame]

Boy that left side sucks for Pittsburgh.

[killer_carlson]

Dont forget Calgary's Craig Adams is a Pen. He played minor hockey, soccer and basketball in Lake Bonavista growing up.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player-bio/craig-adams

He's had a decent career always as a depth forward and a couple of cup rings for his efforts. 927 games. Not sure if he'll get another season after this one, but I hope he does and that he can hit 1,000.

Enough with the hockey pool talk. Nobody cares.

[Poe969]

(he must be doing bad in his pool)

I think the pens playing a skilled game will benefit Johnny and Monahan, I'm excited to see how they compete against elite talent.

[Camronius]

Time for JG to demonstrate why he was selected over Crosby for the all-star game.

[GranteedEV]

Whether the Flames win or lose is almost solely dependant on how well Russell / Wideman can keep the play out of their own zone. Hartley might even want to mix up the pairings to make sure one of Brodie or Gio is on the ice at any time Malkin or Crosby is... obviously keep Gio/Brodie together at times, but also double shift them for Brodie/Wideman + Gio / Russell

[_Q_]

^ interesting idea, although I'd be more inclined to do Giordano-Wideman and Brodie-Russell since I believe Gio and Wideman have had experience playing together this season (same with Russell and Brodie I believe).
