Want to see Monahan and Poirier there on opening night

[TheDebaser]

Lol, this goal song is so baad, it's sooo bad.

[Ashasx]

Monahan is an unbelievably efficient player.

[HitterD]

Havent seen Monahan very much.....but its going to be tough to keep him off this team if his 2-way game is as good as advertized. He seems to get mixed reviews but yet finds himself on the scoresheet nearly every game in camp. Guy just produces

Jooris is an interesting player. I really hope he makes it.

Feaster may have to make some room if he makes it. Seeing as Monahan is likely a shoe in at this point.

Can all of Jooris, Bouma, Monahan, Poirier make the team? If they're playing well enough I don't see why not.

They would have to move at least 2 players, that would be tough. Not to mention Horak has been great and even old man Jackman is playing well in pre-season.

Jackman could be replaced by Bouma fairly easily imo.

Calgary Flames ‏@NHLFlames 41s #YQR: WHAT A SAVE! @RamoKarri just robbed Strome on the power play! #grandlarceny #CGYNYI

Calgary Flames ‏@NHLFlames 14s #YQR: Our apologies - @RamoKarri's ridiculously great glove save was on Moulson, not Strome. #CGYNYI


Wes Gilbertson ‏@SUNGilbertson 44s #Flames G Karri Ramo just made a terrific save on Matt Moulson on a two-on-oh in Regina. He has been very solid tonight.

And Knight

Sure but Horak with Bouma and Jackman has looked very good tonight. I could see that being our 4th line.

How many points does Monahan have through the rookie and preseason games now?

Guy just seems to produce. I look forward to actually watching him one of these days. The Oilers stats geeks really liked him predraft.

Thanks again for wining those meaningless games at the end of last year.
