conundrumed

My fave NHL C. Does it all. When Bennett was dealt there, figured, "well, I'll be seeing him". Zito's been a very good mgr for them so far. A good mix of players to compliment 3 bonafide stars and a great coach. Bobo's contract though, eeks.

No kidding. Huberdeau will be needing that.

Rumoured Barkov extension: $10mil x 8 years.

Sutter has mentioned Mony and Hanifin's conditioning coming off of injury before. That's the likely scenario. Sutter wants to see Dube too. I think he likes him.lol

Remind me not to miss TBay-Fla games!! These teams HATE each other. Great to see, 2 great teams not giving an inch.

Saw a Quick highlight where he started pounding the guy that crashed him. Every goalie in the league should do that. Maybe get the paddle up where his face is. Can just say, "I was protecting myself".

I'd stick with Richardson, but I'd really like to see Duehr get some reps in on RW. He was really good vs preseason AHL rosters, but he sure wasn't out of place vs the Oilers full roster. Interested to see him vs Winnipeg. Shame we never got to see Zary. Gudbranson's been better (for what he is). Valimaki's coming together. Hope Kyl can maintain as play and competition ramps up. Kinda fun that Sutter said upfront, "We think the game the same way." Interested to see how this all comes together.

McDavid sure has a, “I deserve a free lane to the net” ego. Knock him out.

No Idea what Sutter told Kyl in exit interview, but wow. He’s looking very good.

I wonder if JG actually had anything wrong or if Sutter just didn’t think it was worth it.

it'll be fun. They'll all be penalties. Whatever. Kill them..

I kinda feel bad for team's that wanna skate all over us again. It might not work out for them.

Pulling Lindy and Hanifin out of Carolina for Hammy, a decrepit Ferland and a "no"-fuscktard Fox was a great move. They had Aho coming in and were rich on D. They could have kept Peters though.And Ryan.

Canada doesn't seem like a desired choice. So lets's eff Satoshi Nakamoto up and call it fun...but Americans have god to protect them, lol.

Before Eric's mom deletes all of them? Sure...let's cast it in stone. We hate Eric Francis. His mommy's fault, not mine. https://thehockeywriters.com/flames-nikita-zadorov-media-remarks/

I get the feeling that this cat will be needing his own thread. I hope he's here for the long haul because he is everything that we haven't been since Regehr left to Buffalo. "Ohhh, you like the hitting part"? Funny he should say that. I love blue collar players. He already asked Francis, "Do you guys even watch hockey"? I think we love him. He needs his own thread. Finally that element (workboots) where we aren't a pushover team like we have been. This was a very good player for us to grab. Something tells me that he'll be needing his own thread. Here's him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Zadorov

But Zadorov is what Gudbranson aspires to be. Why are we giving him $2mil? $4 for Zad I understand, more than $750,000 for Gud? He's gonna have to make us understand why. Nothing against the guy, but he has to be a lot better than he's ever been or I hope that we aren't afraid to bury him. The contract is almost like waiver protection.

He may not be the worst 3oa in NHL history, but he can't be far off. He's not exactly Ekblad. This was a PTO, don't understand the $2per. Makes me wonder if Sutter reached out AND THEN BT secured a much better version in Zadorov. I can't see him drawing in much beyond Zadorov's suspensions. Zadorov loves the hitting. The NHL, notsomuch. He'll get suspended for being a really good checker. It's the NHL. Surprised the refs let his "pop" on Podkolzin(?) let it go to a Flames goal. That's the Zady we need. A Dman that introduces himself properly. "POW". "Hi everyone". Can't wait to see more of that. Love that we have a "I love hitting" Russian dman. So far, he's making me forget about Phaneuf. Next up, if Zady can be Regher, I'm calling BINGO. Exacting intimidation, good D play. We need more Russians. Hope he reads this, seeing as he isn't from NA and probably knows how to laugh. Lucic wasn't enough. Ritchie became 1st line just to protect Johnny. We've intimidated zero teams with aggression for too many years now. So everyone laughed at us last year as, "a team with no identity". Constant. Nobody was afraid to get hit in our Dzone, Completely owned in the neutral zone. Opposition didn't worry about us being tough with big checks. Thank you for choosing Calgary. You'll be loved.

Zadorov starting to bring what we need on our backend, opposing fwds getting nervous. Let’s face it, we had zero intimidation. Sutter discussing a Kyl question on the PP. Indicated it’s Ras, “that’s what he has to do”. For Kyl, “he has to make plays if he wants to make this team”. Reading between the lines, those 2 are our guys that need to replace Gio’s offence. On Colemen, “he played 23 games in the playoffs”. Wants him rested. Sutter, again, is crazy like a fox. I love how he’s crafting this team. I have zero complaints about how he’s run camp and preseason. He’s got his finger on the pulse. It’ll be a fun education to watch him ramp it up. What a relief having a coach that’s a lot smarter than us.

Pius Suter, 3 assists. I don’t know Chicago, are you sure? Stevie in the D. I’d have fired Holland than watch him go to TBag. Easy in hindsight but always thought that. Like Sakic in Colorado. Only Yzerman was always a bit better than Sakic. And the D is home. When the news broke he’s “stepping down” from TBag gm, I knew in my heart he loves Detroit. It is Hockeytown. Bar none. Opponents like Chicago and St Loo fans don’t come rowdy. Unlike the many Flames/Oilers/Jets/Canucks games I’ve seen. Fistpumping aggressive and arrogant. Wow. I should take you to a Detroit game. They talk hockey. Don’t embarrass yourself being a yob. It might not work out for you. It takes all sorts. I’ve been in 6 CDN arenas, counting Deadmonton and TML twice. They don’t hold a candle to the D. And it isn’t close.

I’m out. This is why I have a guitar.
