Todd Cordell: G22 Calgary Flames @ Dallas Stars: Five things to watch
- ToddCordellCGY

When does Lack (officially) clear waivers and who's getting the call? Does Rittich need to clear waivers? These are things I must know and am too lazy to look up...

@geta02it Noon ET. Sounds like Rittich is in Dallas.

Why is Bart listed in the lineup?

Probably his turn to get a shot. Would be great if someone within the organization can take the backup role.

I'll believe it when I see it. There is no reason to put him in.

Well I hope he at least gets to play a few games. It's tough not to play Smith every game, but he's gonna wear down and we need to see what we have!

Also gets Parsons up to the AHL, he's been ripping it up.

Neither Gilles nor Riitch has to clear waivers. That's why it would have been real easy alternating them as Smiths's backup & before they get too stale, trade with each other to get some game action in Stockton. I didn't feel Lack was necessary, nothing against him, he seems like a petty decent dude. We would have been able to keep Parsons in Stockton that way as well.

Yeah, the Lack reclamation clearly didn't work..or at least not yet. I think we have two good young goalies so would have liked to see them platooned and I hope that's the new plan. Not sure what they'll do with Lack because Gillies and Rittich still need to play and that's not going to happen with the big club.

Thanks!

GFG and GFY everyone! Especially you, Clyde! You peice of sh!t!

I dont get where Todd gets his line-up
it's like he randomly takes an old line-up from weeks ago and just hopes it's right?

it gets announced on the flames website...and if its not up yet, then at least make the best educated guess, ie: use the most recent line-up (Bart hasn't been in for a few games now and likely and hopefully will never be again)
From the Flames website...only change being Lazar back in for Hamilton

FORWARDS

Johnny Gaudreau - Sean Monahan - Micheal Ferland

Matthew Tkachuk - Mikael Backlund - Michael Frolik

Sam Bennett - Mark Jankowski - Jaromir Jagr

Kris Versteeg - Curtis Lazar - Troy Brouwer

DEFENCE

Mark Giordano - Dougie Hamilton

TJ Brodie - Travis Hamonic

Brett Kulak - Michael Stone

GOALTENDER

Mike Smith

Thanks!

Moochas Grasious seenyor

The Flames should move Stone up with Brodie. Brodie just isn't playing that well with Hamonic...well, consistently anyway. He and Stone seemed like a good pairing last year and they need to do it again. Overall the team looks pretty damn good if they could see more points from the bottom 6. Johnny Hockey....enough said.

you're welcome

I’ve got a feeling we’re gonna see some secondary scoring tonight for the Flames.
