Is Hrvic playing center? Maybe he can be 4th line center next season for the Flames

Why wait though?

[Svartsengi]

Mangiapane is listed as a LW does anyone know if he can play RW as well?. Leading the team and AHL in scoring may want to give him a chance with Calgary on RW.

he hasn't been used in any other position besides LW since he went pro AFAIK.

don't you know? you need to fill out the bottom 6 with character gritangibles leaders like glass and brouwer and give them plenty of ice time to set examples while prospects get buried in the ahl. there's certainly nothing to learn or contribute for good ahl prospects in the nhl, just ask the repeat championship penguins

Mangiapane was clearly not ready for the NHL based on his pre-season. Give him at least 20 games in the AHL before calling him up.

Agreed - he definitely needs more time (remember when Klimchuk was on fire for 10 to 20 games last year?)

Having said that, as someone who didn't think he had what it takes to make it to the NHL, I have to say I am really impressed with his play, and more than ready to admit I was wrong.

Then right after the goal. Rittich springs Poirier on the breakaway, but Poirier fails to score

End of the 1st.

Heat give up a 5 on 3 goal. Robak lost his stick, so effectively a 5 on 2.5.

Also, the "David" in David Rittich is pronounced the Czech way. "Dah-vid" (rhymes with "avid.")
