[News] Flames recall Gillies on emergency basis. May start 1 of last 2. Lazar will draw in.

They can't just payout the bonus anyways.

The minimum number of assists necessary to earn an ELC schedule A bonus for a forward is 35 assists as defined by the CBA. Paying him a bonus for 34 assists would be a violation of the CBA.

I would rest Tkachuk vs LA for maintenance and then play vs San Jose.
By the time that game rolls around, seeding may be decided, in which case both teams will play to win, but not to annihilate each other physically

I'll be honest, I'm expecting him to be Craig Conroy 2.0, based only on his personality lol.

It would be great if Lazar can do what we expect from Brouwer and Bouma. Just get your nose dirty kid and don't back down from anyone or anything. Put yourself in the middle of the action and hold onto that spot into the playoffs.

I hope to see if the Flames and the Kings go on a line brawl, Gilles and Bishop will go at it on a super heavyweight goalie fight

[Stay Golden]

I like the injection of Lazar. I hope Gulutzen sits Tkachuk, Johnny, Monahan, Gio they are too important.
Force Brouwer to step up vs LA and call up Hathaway as well.
Rest Elliott too.

Excited for Gillies. First top tier goalie prospect to come through the system since... forever?

One game won't define his NHL career but you can only make one NHL Debut. Hope he kills it.

I would have called up Riddick. Has been playing better than Gillies in STockton. Gillies needs more time in the minors, IMO.

I'm happy with either. Rittich's cooled off lately and Gillies has started to heat up

[KelVarnsen]

The Flames have a goalie named Riddick?

No Johnny, no Tkachuk. If Monahan or Backs want the day off, I say give it to them. The team has played a crapton of hockey this month, and if last night is any indication, our top players need a bit of a breather.

Gillies in the cage, kids throughout the lineup. Go

they have 2 available. Andersson was converted to a regular recall and Hathaway was a regular recall.

Is his nickname "Pokey?"

There were still 12 eligible skaters when Hathaway was recalled, so it was a regular recall. They wasted one because they were on a road trip.
