Lol @ kings fans on HF wanting one of their goons to fight Tkachuk, why doesn't the little bitch Doughty fight his own battles? Hopefully Brown is playing so we can see Gio ram his ass for 60 minutes per usual

Who takes those PK minutes if you sit Brouwer? Glass? Jagr? Haven't seen much PK from Lazar either. You can of course give more PK minutes to Backlund and Frolik, but that takes away from 3M lines 5-on-5 time, which you don't really want.

Brouwer might not be worth his cap hit, but I don't see how anyone can argue he didn't earn his TOI in Anaheim.

One reason to keep Glass in the lineup is because the Kings will likely be looking to go after Tkachuk.

But the main reason to keep him in the lineup is because he has played well.

Johnny always seems to play well at Staples and vs. the Kings in general.

Looking for a goal and assist from him tonight.

I remember being in L.A. For Johnny's first hat trick as a Flame. Since then we've always played the kings well.

That said, Quick looks to be having a strong start to the year. Maybe his injuries are behind him. One things forsure, pacific division is going to be tight this year

I think Lazar could easily fill Brouwer spot on PK. I've actually really liked Lazar in the d zone.

It’s not worth taking that risk if he hasn’t practiced there at all though. It’s a long season, Lazar will get his playing time.

LA is still a big heavy team....may be the reason for Brouwer over Lazar.

So far this season, Brouwer is behind only Frolik in PK ice time for forwards. That's why he stays in the lineup.

Brouwer had a really strong game on the PK in Anaheim. Also, the 4th line played pretty well in general. So maybe the idea was to keep them together

The fact that the largest complaint fans have about the Flames is who is or isn't playing on the fourth line is all you need to know about the severity of the Flames problems so far this year.

a. Usually you have to pay more for that, and the title won't show up on your room bill;

b. 60 minutes seems like a pretty tough go for all concerned.

Good in the D zone is a little different from the PK. There's positioning and switching off issues that he would have to learn. I have no doubt he could learn it in time - just not overnight.
