Vladar is going to play against his old team on Thursday I was expecting Markstrom to start tonight.

I don't get why Marky is playing b2b. Did they lose faith in Vladar after last game? Darth might get 8 games this year. lol

He is playing Thursday most likely

Same split as expected...if he wants more games he should play better

That is 65% more penalties called on the Flames. Then add that 2 of the calls against them were in OT - directly resulting in the loss of a point, each time.

Do the Flames get treated a little more fairly tonight?

I think we're lower on the possession metrics. Which could probably be explained why we get more penalties against.

Awesome, give him a chance for success

Flames win possession almost every game, what are you watching?

[btimbit]

They played much better last night and teams always seem to get over the hump of a losing streak a game or two before actually winning. Injuries are starting to really hurt but I think we get a good one tonight

If possession metrics resulted in penalties, the Flames would have had 5 PPs in the first 2 periods last night

With these lines, I actually hope the 4th line gets lots of ice time tonight

Crazy how a few injuries destroy our defensive depth and force Ruzicka to the top line.

[agulati]

Huge opportunity for Ruzicka here.

[Mr.Coffee]

Mackey as healthy scratch makes sense.

Interesting discussion on HockeyCentral where they showed the Flames are ranking very low on pass attempts and completed passing. Just goes to show the new guys and chemistry can take some time sometimes and this should get better over time and speed their overall game up.

Hope they win tonight.

On the one hand it's hard to say he's not giving the rookies a chance with Ruzicka on top with Lindholm but I would have expected Mangiapane and Ruzicka to be flipped in that lineup.

These moments of silence lately are literally seconds

[GioforPM]

Millisecond of silence.
