Jan 21 Practice Notes

[Flames1217]

I wonder if we see Lucic-Bennett-Tkachuk when we face the Oilers.

Quite confident that Lucic can take anyone on the Oilers and Bennett is pretty much the second best fighter on the team.

The only problem is Lucic seems to have two speeds...guys he knows / guys he doesn't know. He knows a lot of guys on the Oilers still and doesn't do his job as effectively in those games, in my opinion.

Changing the lines like that does the Oilers a favour. The Flames are the better team and should just worry about their own game. Changing the gameplan because of Kassian is idiotic.

Tkachuk can handle himself as well no need for a bodyguard.

Hoping Looch gets involved in the physicality of the rivalry now that he is in year 2 as a Flame

Lucic would actually undermine Tkachuk's effectiveness as a pest IMO.

Last game Tkachuk bumped or fell into Demko 3 or 4 times, then on the early whistle play he rested his hand fully on Demko's helmet while arguing with the ref. Finally Myers had enough and on the next scrum he suckered Tkachuk with the buttend, taking the 5 on 3 penalty we scored on to effectively put the game out of reach.

If Looch was out there he probably would have retaliated with a KO punch to Myers, taking a coincidental penalty.

The striping pattern is identical and really both are bad.

If anything the home one was worse because the Blue flag clashes more on the red jersey than it does on the white jersey.

Honestly for me I think it was black collar on a white jersey with no red or yellow around it.

Seemed wrong.

The black collar was less obvious on the red one.

Plus I think the complete chaos of the stripes in the armpit and the bottom going the other way stood out more in contrast to the white. Same mistakes and problems, but more visible.
