Yup. Tavares might surpass McDavid on spotlight.

Where the Flames are deficient is in the area of an Engelland-type player - a guy who can contribute regularly, but also fill the role of enforcer.
Prout may be that actually. He's logged regular NHL minutes in the past and seems to play a pretty, strong, tough game. Don't know about his fighting in particular though. I liked what I saw of him in the preseason. He could be another Engelland. He's played 242 NHL games.

And probably the first guy who wanted to.

I find that helps.

Can only go up from here, IMO.

It was the Gudbrandson goonery that threw them off more than anything I think. Can't get rattled that easy, but they can regroup now only down a goal.

Is it just me or does Petterson seem to score freak goals but otherwise be invisible?

There are guys in the league who can play but can also drop the gloves.
Are you suggesting Iggy should come out of retirement?

Does anyone know who scored for Vancouver? I’ve been watching but I just can’t tell.

I wonder if these losers are going to do a James Neal feature at his high school in Whitby?

If you're worried about the season after watching the first period tonight, don't let the door hit you in the @$$ on the way out.

I just don't get why we don't go to the PP setup we saw in the very first Preseason game against Boston. It's as if the coaches saw the tape of us absolutely dominating on the PP and decides "nah, let's do what Cameron did last year, it'll work eventually"

Just you. Canuck or not, he is a legit player and will be for a long long time.
