Yup, only the first line has seen any length of time together really.
I'm more in the camp that he should maybe try to settle things down for a few games and then get back to making changes.
But we'll see.

Was going to go, but decided not to bother since the Flames never win - and rarely score a ####ing goal - when I watch them on the road.
So now that I am not going, they will probably win. You are welcome.

Good news and bad news!
Good news: I'm going to the game tonight!
Bad news: I seem to have lost my glasses so I'll basically be like a referee watching the game

Says here you are in Singapore. If so, maybe should worry first about getting some glasses.

It's Vegas... You don't need your glasses, everything is better a little out of focus.

Hoping for a point. Dallas has been tough for the Flames the last few years.

Flames typically get owned by Dallas, hope they buck that trend.
I feel the flames Centers, other than Monahan, have been more or less useless, especially offensively.
Much more is expected from Backlund, Ryan and Jankowski, and they have failed to deliver for 3 games now.
Hopefully, Mangiapane sparks the second line. However, if that doesn't occur, then for me, it means having a star winger in Tkachuk isn't enough for Backlund to establish a solid 2 line offensively, and he requires another elite guy on the right side. In which case, I again question whether Backlund is suitable to play the role of a 2C on a playoff/contending team in this league. I'm willing to give him a pass, given the whispers of injury going into the season, but he's got to be a lot better.
Don't get me started on Ryan and Jankowski. They have offered little to the team, especially jankowski who's actually been a liability when on the ice for the only role he's really been provided which is the PK.

Hope they start the game on time (the Flames, not the refs).
Would like to see Lucic-Ryan-Bennett get some chemistry going. I think that's where all three should slot in the lineup, but they need to figure out their identity and start playing to it.

The Flames have not won a game in Dallas since 2016. 0-3 since then.
