[GDT] Flames vs Flyers, 7:00 MDT. Sportsnet 360, Fan 960

[tvp2003]

Flames are playing on home ice, coming off back-to-back losses. I'll be concerned if they start the game by laying another egg like they did versus LA, but something tells me they'll look much better tonight. Settling the lines down should hopefully help -- especially if we can play with the lead and roll four lines.

Oh yes, Sam Bennett has sure shown he can play center though.

Just play well for 60 minutes.

Hahahahaha, thanks for that, Puppet! I needed it today

At work for this one. GFG!

The Flames are playing again? The schedule maker hasn’t been kind so far. 5 games in 8 nights travelling 7000kms.

Bennett played center two nights ago with Janko out, I believe. In faceoffs and defensively he is pretty good in that role. He does poorly, especially in the offensive zone, if he is not familiar with his linemates.

I wish we could have gotten Hayes, as a Flyers fan I've watched him play, he's big, smooth and controls the play well. Stands out from the others on the ice, I feel that's someone we need

Even with Couturier there, Hayes has been playing top line. Actually they have been spreading out their scoring threats so they are really well balanced. Deep young defense, too. With Hart in net, I actually see a lot of parallels with Calgary.

It will be interesting to see, in this game, what effect coach's utilization has on two teams that are constructed in a similar manner.
