[News] Flames recall Horak

[CGY12]

I don't care what they do in terms of the other 3 lines, don't split up;

Hudler Tanguay Cervenka

They had unreal chemistry.

I'm not sure you have to call it chemistry, rather than just "three guys playing really well"

I would say that tanguay is one of the few that thinks the game on the same (or higher) level as the Czechs. I'd like to see cammy stajan and iggy as a line with horak centering glencross and stemper

No reason not to believe in Horak, he's a pretty surefire 2nd/3rd liner for years to come IMO.

I was coming in to type this. Works hard, does whatever the coaches tell him, and does it with a smile on his face.

His attitude reminds me of the 60s and 70s when the young guys had respect for the older guys, the coaches, and the game. Love him for it.

Baertschi is the same way and that is why I root for these two much more than I typically care about individual players. I hope they are both leaders on this team for years to come.

Also, I do believe that being part of the Erixon trade earned him some populatrity points as well.

[GreenLantern]

Not to overhorakt or anything.. but I am pretty excited to see this kid play tonight and think he might just be able to add a good spark out there.

I remember reading about how when he went to Calgary, they asked him to take an eye exam and it was discovered that he needed glasses. Horak mentioned that it really improved things.

So I think there is also the hope that his vision was one of the reasons why he wasn't more highly regarded before.

This.

Cammy Stajan Iggy
Hudler Tanguay Cervenka
Glenny Horak Stempniak
Begin Jones Jackman

Gio - Jbo
Brodie - wideman
Smith - Sarich


Looks really good actually. Weak in the faceoff dot but overall a solid team

[CampbellsTransgressions]

Stajan might do well in a more 08-10 Leafs oriented system. He just needs more time to de-Sutterize.
