Backlund should be our number one centre right now I think. There are 5 flames that are bringing it and everyone else is completely invisible. Gulutzan should just shift the effective players because this is some jekyll and hyde craziness.

Might be too early to say this, but Johnson looks super comfortable out there. Looks to have great awareness and puck control.

Backlund has easily been the best Flame in these first 3 games.

And Tkachuk taken off that line. Good choice as that line was really raw.

It's definitely reflecting on the minutes. Backlund and Frolik the only two forwards over 8 minutes played right now

Can't say I agree with putting Tkachuk down the depth chart...

I'm not sure I understand. Isn't Jokipakka pretty much guaranteed to be the player we lose to expansion?

If you had 6 backlunds in your bottom six, you win the cup.

Man, I really like Brouwer, Smart move by Trelving to get him into CGY.

Bennett is trying to finesse pass too much. Someone tell him to drive the net!

Unless we expose someone more enticing, yeah - you have to think it's almost an automatic.

They are playing ok, but man that 1st line needs to do something offensively. Right now it's Backlund's line carrying the weight.

Johnson looks great.

I think another 2 or 3 games and this team should be ok.
