[News] Flames recall Connor Zary - Page 4 - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Hunt is in the lineup because of injuries. No matter where he plays, people will be unhappy.

Hunt's usage is not the problem with this team.

With Dube out for maintenance, at least one of these slots is a placeholder on these lines. It could be Coronato and maybe they just want to see how he looks at centre. In practice. But what do I know?

We already have Big Z and Little Z flamed out. Zary is more like Just Right Z.

Speaking of Hunt, Zohorna is back in Pittsburgh and has 3 points in 5 games.

He should not be in the top 6.

Feels like we have had different lines the last 4 games.

I get the we want chemistry but chemistry doesn't happen after a game.

Hunt has actually played hard, no problem with him getting ice time over guys out there for a sunday skate

3-6 Pens must be loving that, good thing they doubled down on their old ass roster adding EK

Hunt will be in the lineup tmrw, I have little doubt. Zary will probably sit or Ruzy.

Was really excited for this guy until his play fell off a cliff during the ahl playoffs, hopefully that was a fluke and he continues his strong play this year.

Cool. I am sure he is what they are looking for, to get themselves back into the playoffs.

Wonderful plan.

What's wrong with the lines? Top line was showing chemistry before it got split up, so I'm happy with that. Backlund makes everyone better, so having Hunt or Zary there makes sense. I'd probably put Zary with Kadri for offence, so having Hunt with Backlund is fine. This also allows Greer and Dueher to stay together and putting Coronato with these 2 guys who have created a lot for the Flames might result in some goals for Coronato.

Worth a shot.

Backlund and Lindholm have been dumpster fires this year. 45-46% expected goals flurry adjusted aint gonna get it done.

Monahammer · 10-31-2023, 02:30 PM

So, is Backlund being punished? Or is Ward really going hard for the tank and intending to play Hunt for 15+ mins a night?

Coronato as 4L C?

Unless Hunt is a placeholder for Dube.

I'm sure Hunt is a placeholder at practice. There's no reason to beleive otherwise- they haven't looked at Hunt in any other way than as a bottom 6 guy to date.

EDIT: Dube is maintenance I see. That means he's back asap.

dino7c · 10-31-2023, 02:33 PM

Kadri actually scored last game too...don't hate on him just to hate

Monahammer · 10-31-2023, 02:34 PM

Kadri has been dog #### all season. A single goal in a game where the team played like total trash (kadri inclus) does nothing to wipe away that stink he's accumulating this season. Put in an effort for 60 minutes and we can talk absolution.

Enoch Root · 10-31-2023, 02:36 PM

Scoring on a deflection, during a 5 on 3, does not change how poorly Kadri has been playing.

dino7c · 10-31-2023, 02:38 PM

he is #1 on the team in expected goals but okay

not sure how sitting him helps anything...Flames should be doing whatever it takes to make him and Huberdeau look like players again.

Kadri has been better than Lindholm, Dube, Mang, ect. lately

Hunt played 16:58 last game with Dube and Lindholm and was on the 2nd pp unit for some reason.

That is not bottom 6 minutes.

About 10 more minutes than he should receive.

Dube has been pretty bad especially defensively he should be buried on the 4th line and Coronato moved up.

Huska screwed up the lines and team in Detroit and now he is panicking to find combinations all over the place.
