icon53 Flames vs Flyers, 7:00 MDT. Sportsnet 360, Fan 960

Let's ditch the negativity - tonight the Flames hit the ice again to host the Flyers! Time to get back to the winning ways, and home ice is the place to do it.


The lineups (www.dailyfaceoff.com). As always, subject to change.

FLAMES

Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Mangiapane - Ryan - Reider
Lucic - Czarnik - Bennett

Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kylington - Andersson

Rittich

FLYERS

Giroux - Hayes - Voracek
Lindblom - Couturier - Konecny
van Riemsdyk - Laughton - Twarnyski
Bunnaman - Raffl - Pitlick

Provorov - Braun
Sanheim - Niskanen
Hagg - Gostisbehere

(#### You) Elliott


...and this has been building for a long, long time. The Twin Titans of Madness meet in a battle the likes of which neither Ray Harryhausen or HP Lovecraft dared bring to life - That Darn Puppet meets Gritty!!!!:


Spoiler!



Go Flames

Roll lines that have chemistry (like Sunday night). Limit your mistakes (also like Sunday). Get back to basics.

Earn it.

Looks like the Flyers have signed ex-Flame Chris Stewart in advance of tonight's game. He is expected to play, per Frank Seravalli

I think the Flames will win this one. Despite the result, the SJ game was arguably the best they've played so far this year, as they dominated for large portions of that game. The Flames' biggest problem against the Sharks was their inability to bury their chances, of which they had plenty.

If they can start to find the back of the net more consistently and get a bit more out of the bottom 6, I think they'll be in good shape going forward.

Key for the Flames, they need to start the game strong....

Their depth lines have to find a way to generate offense....

Backlund had enough chances to win the game himself. Plus Ryan's breakaway, Monahan clipped the post, etc.

According to Frank Servalli the Flyers are signing Chris Stewart to a 2 way deal and he may be in the lineup tonight.

I suppose one positive of Lucic is that his presence compels some teams to ice players like Stewart.

So we're already down 1-0 what with the inevitable Stewart goal against.

He has to go down as the least effective "Gaudreau-Monahan-X" player of all time.

He was unlucky that first chance at the side of the net did not go in. He chipped the puck over the pad, but Jones caught it between his glove and the pad.

Games v. Philadelphia are always entertaining. Both of them last year were incredible.

Why this guy still gets interest from nhl teams is mind boggling. The last time he was good was about five years ago.

Oilers get our next 2 opponents on the second half of a back 2 back. That’s fair.

I approve of many things in the vid, including knocking Gritty out with the wine bottle and then beating him with the duck stuffy.
Great stuff, as always, PuppetGuy
