Great to see Sam and Austin getting close but who do you sit when you’ve just won six in a row?!?! |

Probably don't want to make any line-up changes at this point
they'll let Benny adn Czarnik take it slow in their return
at some point you probably rotate guys like Jankowski, Reider, Rinaldo (maybe even Frolik if he goes cold again) for the likes of Bennett and Czarnik
I relal yhope they don't take out Dube and Mangiapane....these guys are showing why they could potentially be top 6 players in the future |

Depending how bad Chucky is, I can see Benny filling in with Lindholm & Magpie.
Reider may be the odd one out initially & I have even liked his play of late.
I have a conspiracy theory I wonder if Im watching too much TV but the way Ryan-Lucic & Dube have played amazing of late, does anyone find it weird that Ward is starting Gaudreau with Ryan & Lucic here. I noticed Gaudreau hasnt been as ecstatic as they other guys have been on this little run we've had. Is it possible Flames have been acclimatizing Monahan to 5 V5 without Gaudreau & Gaudreau, even though he's playing better may not like being pencil marked for the 3rd line these days? Just saying & Monahan has been carrying the puck more when he isnt with Gaudreau.
Just curious. Yeah they get PP time together but I just find this a little strange.
Otherwise I am enjoying watching the games again. Dube has earned a spot in the lineup & so has Rinaldo. In fact Frolik seems to be enjoying playing with Rinaldo & it is showing on the ice. If this 4th line keeps it up, Im back in the keep Frolik camp for the rest of the year.
Sorry Oiler fans, but that Hamilton goal in the 3rd truly brought a smile on my face even more than the muffed penalty shot by McDavid. |

The look on Dougie's face afterwards was so good. Just stunned, like "I can't believe that actually worked" |

I'm hoping Ward is taking a page out of other teams playbooks with their top players (e.g Mackinnon, Mcdavid, Mathews). I don't think Gaudreau should have any permanent "line". I'd rather see him get used like he has been the last few games.
Throw him out whenever you can on all four lines to get ideal matchups. He's not killing penalties so it's not like he can always be with Lindholm anyway. Johnny still gets top line minutes and he doesn't always have to be matched up against the other teams top defenders

Yeah, he's getting his ice time and getting lots of chances so I kind of like that he gets moved around a bit. Plus he looks like he's developing some chemistry with Lucic and Ryan. |

Was funny though that the Flames posted that locker room video and in the pic, he just looked MISERABLE. Doubt he loves playing "down lineup", but I've never seen a guy in such a happy locker room looking like he just hates life... |

Zack has played well yes but not good enough for a starter like benny to lose his spot too Rieder frolik Jankowski 2 of the 3 come out for benny and Czarnik you don’t lose a spot cause of injury |

I know, thats what is puzzling me. I hope what others are saying is bang on as they are absolutely valid points. But if there is any truth to Gaudreaus party style & other rumours, well, there could very well be a real block buster at the draft. Eks mention of Flames in the Hall sweeps is coincidental. I can see a rental of Hall with the likes of Kyllington & Janko & a 2nd becoming a first if he resigns. Any trade of Gaudreau will come from left field & I would imagine at the draft where Tre likes to do his major moves. The team I se that can easily afford Hall as a rental would be Tampa. The have multiple 1st round picks & lots of propsects like Radysh & they could get them to take Palat or Tyler Johnson, with a 1st & Radysh. Not bad rental return. |

Rhino has straight up proven that he truly deserves the shot of showcasing what he can bring on a nightly basis and even though Janks has played better in the last couple games, it’s a no brainer on who is helping the team in more ways then non...When Bennett and czar is back we’re gonna have a healthy and serious competition with getting the nod to play...
Love it😉 |

Indeed he has!
Rhino skates much better than I thought he did and his ability and willingness to finish checks gives us an element we were sorely missing.
Going to be some tough choices for the coaches and management if the team keeps working like they have on this streak. |

I think he always looks miserable. Seems whenever they focus on him on the bench he looks pissed off. I kind of like that about him,. I think he's super competitive and he probably has a massive chip on his shoulder, being the smallest guy at every level his played. Maybe he's not happy about something to do with the Flames but that's just speculation. |

He wants to go back home to the east coast, plain and simple. |

To Philadelphia? If part of the return was Konecny then I'd be ok with that. |

Who knows. Pretty sure the team is smart enough to sell high in they guy if they sell.
Guy is so fun to watch with the puck but if he does not want to be here I just hope we get a good deal for him. |

I think rhino deserves to be in the lineup for the next couple games. Good speed and relentless in the puck. Always lays a couple of hits too |

It would seem there are many teams trying to pull what St. Louis did last year.
First the leafs, then us, then Dallas, now the Sharks! |
