You're too (frank)ing happy. It doesn't suit your uncouth demeanour.

I really liked the way the Flames responded last game after falling behind. Sam is also looking great alongside Neal. Lindholm

Agree with Brother´s Squilly and BSimm,

Lindholm is looking like what Pierre McGuire would once call a MONSTER!

One of the things the announcers said last game is that they want Bennett to start enjoying himself more and get the draft position monkey off his back.

Looking like he is starting to figure things out!

I want to see the D start to score some goals. Its only a matter of time till Rass and Val get their first!

Shut your wh0re mouth!

I can see some D getting moved out here soon. The young guys look too good. Hamonic and stone perhaps?

I think they hold onto one of Hamonic or Stone just in case of injuries. Still not a bad problem to have too many D!

So who is expendable on this team right now?

Has Dube taken Janko´s spot?

But it’s my money maker.

Glad Lindholm seems to be working out well.

Ferland's been fantastic.

- BINGO!

Is that trade gonna go down as one of those annoying win/win trades?

I hope he keeps it up for you guys. I’ve always like Ferland but he tends to fade as the season wares on.

That's okay. Honestly all he has to do is park his ass in front of the net and Aho will bounce it in off of him.

Pretty happy for Lindholm, though, as he's usually a pretty slow starter so this is a promising look for him.

Hamilton left a bit to be desired the first game or so but he seems to be getting better and better each game, which is nice.

You just hate them because it's something your team hasn't seen in a decade.

He is so creative and has excellent vision... and a nice shot!

Hanifin has looked solid defensively too!

you guys have looked UNREAL! I grabbed Aho this year in fantasy and he has been destroying it!

I'm pretty pumped about it. Brind'amour has these guys believing in themselves. The whole "If you're going to make a mistake, err on the side of aggression" attitude is working well.

Now you just need a legit starter. Nothing will stop you then.

Really happy Ferland is doing well. I love the guy and want him to succeed. Lindholm's been pretty solid for us too, so this trade is starting to look like a win-win, especially given how Hanifin's been playing and how Hamilton's starting to gel in Carolina. I watched the Winnipeg game last night and man, this Carolina team is really fun to watch. They could have a really big year.

As for Bennett, he's definitely starting to pick it up. He's had stretches of really good play before, but I'm cautiously optimistic that he's going to do it consistently this year. It feels different this time.

i agree withe bolded statement. Scheifele was 22 when his game started coming together. It takes some players time before they figure things out!
