I was hoping he wouldn't be claimed. I really think he could be a NHLer at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started strong, but they let him rot. For the most part, he came in when Rosie went out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 So, the easy change to the system is put in Klapka in Dube's spot. But due to the Pospisil injury (week at least), we are back to 12F. And rewarding Dube by bumping him to the top 6 seems wrong. Ruzicka was used after the injury and it seemed fine. Coleman was on when Zary scored the non-goal. I don't know if it makes sense now to bring in Coronato. It doesn't help if you keep yanking him up and down. He will be at the AHL All Star game on Feb. 4-5th. We play again on Feb. 6th. As far as skill goes, he is the best we have on the farm. Difficult to integrate him with Kadri without more practice. Tough game to get in against EDM.

travel_dude Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 More serious to the debate is that if a concussion, it's at least the 2nd one of his pro career. Given his play style, he will get one more in his career. I worry about a fast/rugged player with a concussion history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Projected lines against EDM. Notice Klapka and Coronato in, Dube out. Pospisil week to week at this point, but could be shorter.

He has been by far the worst player on the team this year, he isn’t an NHL player. Gilbert, DeSimone, Solovyov, Kuznetsov would all be better choices than Oesterle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just post em, don't try to understand em. Oesterle and DeSimone were clearly the worst against TOR. Oesterle has not really had any good games since TC. Gilbert is okay, but really just as a guy that can hit and get a shot off. Kuz did as well or better than Oesterle. Solo was looking like he had improved in his last showing. Against one of the higher scoring teams that has a lethal PP, we put out a fringe NHL 3rd pair. Make a trade for F's sake to improve the D. Either we are losing Hanifin or not, but we still need a NHL pairing. I have no idea why we waived Oesterle if we are just going to play him. He's an ex-Oiler that hasn't done much.

redfire11 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 If your going to put in Coronato and Klapka you might as well play Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to run the goalie whenever possible, since that's waht they do. I would have played Kuz over Oesterle, but that's just me. He is tougher than most of our other D. Gilbert is up there.

robrob74 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Could it be mental strain due to team Canada? Not saying he's guilty but the guilt due to association can be quite tough. Maybe there's a lot else going on though, like needing to succeed and pushing himself with his own expectations and not able to live up to them. Must be hard to be an nhler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebrewcrew Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Hopefully Dube is ok. This long pointless streak couldn’t have helped matters. From a roster management standpoint. It opens a spot up for Pelletier. He might be ready after the all star break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be hard to be an nhler My first thought, but I will give the kid the benefit of doubt there. We don't know his family situation or any stress he is under. Unlike Kylington, there was no hint. Two guys that were in top form before camp and both are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling one might mistake guilty feelings with being guilty. I definitely don't mean he's guilty, just that if you choose to opt out of shinnanies there might be more to knowing something went wrong... but true, there's a lot going on in the lives others that aren't at the surface and many tend to think, just push through, get over it. Some can work flawless at 100% when the poop hits the fan and good on them, others can hit a wall in the same situation and deal with things opposite to that and others somewhere in the middle of the two scenarios. Tough both ways! I hope he gets through it alright and is getting the help he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Flames tied for 10th worst overall, but only 3 points ahead of 6th worst team. Bottom 5 is a bit out of reach right now, as we are 10 up on 5th. Three games this week against STL, CBJ and CHI then 9 days off. 3 wins does little, but 3 losses puts us in lotto for 1st overall. Long season yet, but 3 games against bottom feeders sets the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play did more than enough to ensure he was going nowhere. I still love the logic that we can trade all the players who are underperforming.

travel_dude Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Flames call up Schwindt. Not really a surprise they need another body. We are down a C/RW with Dube out. CS can play either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
