The ice time is interesting to watch when the 4th line consists of Lucic and friends its in that 11-12 minute range and when its one of the younger guys they are getting 8 minutes a game.
Or ... we could go with facts!
Lucic has been 10.5 or under in 7 of his last ten games averaging less than 10 minutes for that duration. Under 9.5 minutes per game in his last 5.
So not so much interesting to watch, but interesting to make up!

Late start so I probably won't watch the whole thing, but I hope the Flames can win and pull themselves to within 2 of Winnipeg and 4 of Seattle tonight.
If the Flames win tonight and tomorrow and Seattle loses to Dallas then things start to get really interesting in the Western Conference. Seattle has two back to back games in Nashville this week and Winnipeg has been doing their best to let the other teams back into it (5-10-2 in their last 17).
The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true. Go Flames Go!
The Flames have never been able to get better than 7 games over .500 this year. On Jan 14th, they beat Dallas to get to 21-14-9, their best winning percentage this year (.580).
Since then, they have gone 10-10-6
They need to break through, and start working towards being 10 games over. Absolutely have to get 3 points out of these 2 games, and obviously, they really need 4.

I was personally surprised that "Kadri has been very blunt about the communication between the players and the coach". I wonder if the room is really starting to turn on Sutter, or if it's a heat of the moment thing.
