Haha. Both groups have their warts and benefits!

Of course there's subsets to each group ranging from "Burn it to the ground! Fire & trade everybody!" after losses to "We're definitely winning the cup this year!" after wins.

It's a more pleasant ride at the middle of the road. Let it ride.

Let the mediocrity begin!

I have a good feeling about tonight. I think the streak ends. Go Flames go!

Anyways, I am bored and work and obviously it is showing in this thread, so don't take my pestering to heart. It's not personal.

All good.

Anybody here know how late a team can add a player off the taxi squad? Steinberg was guessing it was a couple of hours before game time. If so, any team with only 20 players on their squad after that time will have to hope no one gets injured during warm-up or they'll be playing with less than a full complement.

3 PM MST per Ryan Pike. But the team might announce call-ups later than 3 PM.

It's bad luck.

I look forward to Gaskal's PG Yanet GIF

Someone should probably text Nordstrom and let him know his jobs on the line tonight and an entire fanbase will be watching every little detail from water bottle to mouth velocity and friction from his pants as he slides over the boards.

So don't go after fancy stats, as they support your argument.

I think you said it earlier ... they should dress both, but to me having one in and not the other (especially Nordstrom) suggests they want to roll three lines hard, and use the other line for energy and PK.

I did see Bennett killing penalties in the ex game as well.

Not what i was told in the post i quoted.

Bennett killing penalties would be great if he is any good at it, He needs another skill on his resume and would really allow the lines to slot correctly....mind you he is often the one serving the penalty so not sure how much it would really help

aha nah I'm a flames fan that's just being real no need to get my expectations high when it's the same result year after year.

Oilers are garbage, they wish they can be mediocre.

Came to see if CP was geared up for the first game of the season. Leaving very confused as the vast majority can't get their head around one of our forwards (who every team in the league passed on less than a week ago) being out of the lineupon opening night.

So fired up to see Markstrom do his thing tonight. 4-2 for the good guys.

Go Flames Go!!

Gaskal is ATL. Zamler does the Yanets.

Ryan is in. Domingue will be the backup.

Hope all is well with Rittich.

So does Ryan need to clear waivers again if they send him back?
