Bollig with a Gordie Howe Hatty, calling it right now

Those are our players, who else would you expect to see in the bottom 6? Only Jooris sitting, and does he really make that big a difference that you call a line up with him in it a non tank job if you are willing to call this line up a tank job?

Swap Jooris in for Raymond and that would look fine to me

Ashasx · 10-10-2015, 02:07 PM

Wish Backlund wasn't with Billing.

Jooris is very meh to me. Not that Raymond isn't, i think Jooris has been better of course last season and the pre season. That said, something about Raymond makes me hope we may see him resurge, where as I kind of think Jooris' 15mins of fame are now over and he's never really going to be anything more than a meh utility guy who's an ideal 13th forward. And that's not meant to be a slight on Jooris, that's more than any of us dreamed he'd be at the start of last year, but I'm ok with him taking the odd sitting here or there when Hartley wants to see what someone else might bring.

Lines are fluid and can be changed at anytime, so I also don't think we should worry about combos too much. Like that Bennett is getting some time with Frolik my B's

Harry Lime · 10-10-2015, 02:10 PM

Bollig is being rewarded for working hard and having an extra jump in his game so far this season. When Smid comes back it will be to jump in and out of the 6-7 spot with Kulak, and I would think that he will stay on the shelf until the goalie situation rights itself. Maybe a week, if we are all lucky.

I wish Hartley would be more willing to split up the top line and Russell-Wideman.

I'd doubt we see the Russell-Wideman split up until Brodie comes back.

Don't necessarily disagree, I just think there's more to see now that his wrist injury is healed. Also think Raymond is done

No Birthdays today? No one here in CP turning 50? or 61 or 82?

I think we return the favour... 5-1 good guys

heep223 · 10-10-2015, 03:14 PM

4-3 for the good guys in OT, Russell with the winner

Galakanokis · 10-10-2015, 03:15 PM

Monahan turns 21 on Monday, so I'll predict a 2-1 OT win. Flames rally back after Hiller let's in an early softy, Sean with the winning goal 23 seconds into 3-on-3.

That's the plan, even brought my charger.

Go Flames!

dammage79 · 10-10-2015, 03:57 PM

Just ruin their home opener.

calgaryblood · 10-10-2015, 04:05 PM

4-0 Flames.

schteve_d · 10-10-2015, 04:09 PM

I hope the Flames come out angry, or truculent, after their display on Wednesday and push the pace. Hard physical Flames hockey forcing the 'Nucks into making mistakes and looking sissy. They should be as mad as fans were at that poor performance and really want to take it to a much lesser team.

5-1 Flames.
