Ras is still pretty young, I hope he doesn't get dragged into this. I think we've got enough strong leadership and experience around the team to stop that from happening.
Flames smart to keep Rasmus away from media today, no need to fan the sparks because Dallas and Bowness are looking for anything to hold onto as far as motivation after a tepid game last night.
As for Tkachuk's words, he's not captain yet because this is legitimatly the first year where he actions speak louder(or as loud as) his words. Him maturing, the Sutter influence, and different leaders in the room/no Gio, have made that transformation into approaching captian material, but guys like Tanev and Gudbranson and Lucic have authority in the room, just not tenure, all of which matters to Sutter.

Yeah, for real. Nobody from the Flames would have said that, so who is he quoting? The media? Their own media from Dallas (LOL)? Get over it and be clear on your quotes. And Raz as a fake tough guy? He completely owned you in the fight and dropped you with ease, actually. Shut your mouth.
Edit - re-read my post. Why am I getting angry? LOL. Stupid Dallas.
Because it’s playoffs

They want to draw the Flames into some undisciplined play by going after Klingberg.
Don't take the bait. Just play your game. If you happen to have him lined up, hit him hard. Otherwise, play your game.
Yup.
Dallas showed absolutely nothing in game 1. They weren't offensive, they didn't hit hard, they didn't sacrifice bodies to make big shot blocks.
Their goalie played well and everyone else looked meh.
Klingon sees a chance to get his teammates amped up, that's all this is. Don't give it to them.
Pretender? I try not to look at things through Flame colored glasses but would Rasmus really have that reputation? I guess he is a bit of a chirper but he answers the bell doesn’t he?
I guess he could come across as an arrogant SOB to the opposition, but not pretender IMO.
Yeah pest, rat, weasel ... all fit.
Pretender not.
