Bart may be the slowest guy on the team and Kulak's skating is above average. He has wheels.

[Toonage]

Nope. Definitely not the slowest.

[stone hands]

Pretty much all Bart has going for him is his wheels

Lazar needs to watch a couple games from the press box. He's been awful the last couple games. A lot of people hate on glass but he brings energy and physicality to that 4th line. Dallas is a big heavy team and we knew Glass would be used in these type of games. Hopefully Versteeg can get back to his form because that 3rd line has potential.
Hoping to see a goal tonight from that line to give them some confidence

[---Hatrick---]

Sorry
Double post

[metal_geek]

Really hoping to see Bennett and Jankowski carry over some momentum from last game.

Win or lose tonight, some chemistry between them will be a difference maker this season.

Bartkowski is a very good skater. IMO, his first two steps and overall speed are in the top third of the Flames and better than Kulak.

Hint for Bennett and Janko: don't pass the puck to Versteeg and you should be good to go!

And for Versteeg, no more blind backhand chops in an attempt to feed it into the slot.

I'm getting tired already of watching Stajan and the ridiculous amount of ice time he is getting - his contract can't end soon enough

He was benched for half of last game. Only played 8:11.

[calgaryred]

Hopefully the boys can come out with a 60 minute effort and score some goals

my guess 3-2 Flames

[Anduril]

Bartkowski can skate. His ability to read the play on the other hand more than negates that slight strength of his.

[dash_pinched]

Hoping to see at least one "Monahan sucks" post from Flash in the GT tonight.

[Backlunds_socks]

Hint for the coach: Fix your PP lines and play a strategy not free for all.

Very underwhelmed by him so far. Way overrated IMO.

How is that? He's come as advertised. Physical, stay at home D man. Leads the team in hits, 2nd to Gio in blocked shots and he's a big factor in Brodie finding his offensive game again.

[shotinthebacklund]

I would like to see a shoot from anywhere approach tonight. In my opinion flames have been looking for the pass much too often.

Stay out of the box- Bennett , Dougie, im looking at you.

Hit the damn Net- everyone.

I hope not, they were terrible last game...hope they do what they did in Nashville but actually produce some results this time.

Don't pass to the guy who has actually scored this season?
