420since1974

I counted 24 jersey jabs, 10 rights and 4 lefts thrown by Gabriel, 19 rights thrown by Lucic. Neither of them landed every punch, but I feel that Gabriel made Lucic appear rather unimpressive.

I have a CCM red "away" jersey from 1986.

Ya, I think he must have darted off a couple of times when we weren't looking. I've never seen The Dude move that quick before.

A tough loss considering 4 shots rang off iron (3 posts and 1 crossbar). With just a little luck, it could easily been a win.

Nice block by Gio.

That was a sick goal by Johnny. Great vision by Tkachuk.

It may be helpful that three of the Flames defense-men have NHL experience playing on both sides of the ice. I feel that Brad Treliving has built himself some solid defensive depth for the play-offs Giordano (LD) - Brodie (RD/LD) Hanifin (LD) - Hamonic (RD) Fantenberg (LD/RD) - Andersson (RD) Kylington (LD) - Stone (RD/LD) Valimaki (LD) - Prout (RD)

I'll miss his posts. RIP Flyerfan52.

Maybe it was just to reward him with some NHL cash. Other than that, I think that he was just here in case of emergency (injury). I have a feeling that we're going to see both Dube and Quine before the season ends.

Rittich skates quickly into the scrum, gotta love him.

I like your proposal for the first PP. With that in mind, I'd be tempted to try this group for the second PP: Bennett, Backlund, Ryan, Tkachuk Hanifin

Brodie, Hamonic, Prout, and Stone are all very close in age and will be UFAs at the end of the 2019/2020 season. With Andersson, Hanifin, Kylington, and Valimaiki looking to be the Flame's future on D, I don't expect more than 1 or 2 of the first 4 remaining on the Flames past next season.

It is looking like the Flames will probably finish the season in the Top 5 or at least the Top 10 overall. IF Calgary does NOT trade their first round pick prior to the draft, whom do you think that they should/will choose? Here are a few players that may be available when the Flames make their pick: Spencer Knight - Goalie, 6'3", 195 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Spencer-Knight Moritz Seider - RHRD, 6'4", 185 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Moritz-Seider Matthew Robertson - LHLD, 6'3", 195 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Matthew-Robertson Phillip Tomasino - C, 5'11", 170 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Phillip-Tomasino Jakob Pelletier - C/LW, 5'9", 160 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Jakob-Pelletier Raphael Lavoie - C/RW, 6'4", 190 lbs. http://www.mynhldraft.com/2019-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Raphael-Lavoie Do any of the above players interest you? Who else do you think might be available when Calgary's turn comes up? Would you choose BPA or try to fill a specific future need?

Ya Baby!
