I would do this as soon as the 4th line falters but for now that line has been playing well and I don't know who else to take out of the lineup to make room for the big galoot

I’d rotate him in like they are doing with the goalies and defence. You play good you play. You don’t play good? You eat popcorn.

Then he wouldn't play. The 4th line has been good.

I mean the whole lineup. Not just the 4th line. Guys like Kuzmenko, Mantha before he got hurt, Sharongovich, Pospisil ect.

Don’t get too comfy. Klapka’s kids gotta eat too.

Fun fact - he gets paid NHL salary after his call up whether he's in or out.

But he's not taking Kuzmneko, Pospisil or Sharongovich out of the lineup any time soon.

He doesn’t get paid when he gets sent down.

Why keep those three in if they aren’t doing anything? Create some competition. They are doing it in net and with the D corp. Are our forwards untouchable?

The Flames biggest problem is lack of finish. I’d keep rotating in Wrangler forwards to keep pushing the whole group.

Not bad. Spend the weekend in California. Score 2 goals and an assist against Askarov, get recalled.

I'm starting to get excited about Klapka.. If he can figure it out he's going to be a beast.

The don't make decisions based on the one game you saw
