Agree what pylon Ericksson was. Grossman should change his number too. #8 as a Dman for the Flames is bad memories lol.
I don't see much of a difference with Grossman sadly. I doubt he plays much.

Watching Grossman play, he actually reminds me of late stage or poor man's Robyn Regher. Even has an Ales Hemsky plastering on Youtube. He's nothing like Anders Ericsson.

Not sure about the signing. I guess it's for depth and better than Kulak sitting in the pressbox.

I'm not a fan of splitting up Gio and Brodie, but I can see the the benefit of having one of the top 3 on the ice the entire game. I haven't seen any preseason games to notice GG new system (more possession, less block shots).

Grossman is a great character guy. During the lockout he paid his own insurance to be able to play a few games for his home team Södertälje in Sweden. It was quite a lot of money bc he had just signed a 4-year contract then and Södertälje would have never been able to afford him.

Thats one of the worst intros as a flame I've ever seen. Responsible for 2 goals in half a period.

Between him and wideman elliott is gonna have a stroke this year

I assumed he was just signed to maximize the LTIR relief or something like that. I didn't expect him to actually play.

Yikes.

Bit of an understatement. More like a poor man's Richie Regehr.

I don't see why a thread asking if Grossman should be sent down was locked. It's a reasonable question. Just some mod going all power hungry again. Good on ya big guy

I know he's big and all.. but hopefully he learns to play defense.. He's been brutal so far.
