[News] Flames recall Zac Rinaldo, Rieder assigned to Stockton

Ah yes, calling up one of the worst players the Flames have ever signed to play 6 minutes a night should solve everything.

Maybe it’s wrong though

It's wrong. Quine was assigned to Stockton on Nov. 17 and hasn't been recalled since.

I dont get this way of thinking, and I don't just mean you.
The consensus is that Colorado is bigger, faster and more skilled. What's your suggestion of a game plan? Call up a large, tough, fast, skilled player? Suggestions?

Rinaldo is fast and tough. That's more than can be said for Janko, Reider and Ryan who bring absolutely nothing to the table right now. Maybe he, Bennett and Lucic can provide a boost to our top players who I might add, looked pretty fast and skilled most of last season? Did they lose skill and speed or are they lacking confidence and "swagger"? I don't believe in the former, but a case can be made for the latter.

Rieder for Kuemper sure worked out nicely for the Yotes.

I get a sense that Chayka is like that annoying GM in fantasy pools that keeps offering lopsided trades. Eventually he picks off a dumb GM.

ugh, in the brief moments of games I have watched the past week or so, Rieder actually looked like one of the flames better forwards.........

[rain_e]

He couldn't be worse then -5 could he?

[oldschoolcalgary]

not opposed to giving a guy that GAF a shot at energizing the lineup...

so long as he doesn't take any bad penalties, i don't see how this is a bad thing for the lineup as it is currently playing
