Varlamov starting tonight. Jackets are a good team to get their sh!t together with. Hopefully that happens tonight.

Yeah he normally takes a few games to get going but he was great last game. Hopefully that continues tonight. Team needs to tighten it up quite bit.

If they can stay out of the box, they should be able to win this game.

The goaltender is the most consistent and prepared part of this team. Everything else, not so much.

Did some digging.

Of the 23 players that have played to date. 1 game minimum.

16 players have 1 penalty or more.
7 players have no penalties. This includes both goalies.

1. A. Pelech D 6 GMs 5-Pen 1-Maj 4-Min 13-PIMs 2.2-PPG
2 H. Fasching RW 3-GMs 1-Pen 0-Maj 0-Min 4-PIMs 1.3-PPG
3 M. Martin LW 6-GMs 2-Pen 1-Maj 1-Min 7-PIMs 1.2-PPG
4 A. Romanov D 6-GMs 3-Pen 0-Maj 3-Min 6-PIMs 1.0-PPG
5 C. Cizikas C 6-GMs 3-Pen 0-Maj 3-Min 6-PIMS 1.0-PPG

As per a note from a recent Spectors Trade Rumors post about Flames that mentions Isles.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Seravalli goes on to say the Flames don’t want to become “the New York Islanders of the West” where they have a team locked into long-term contracts with a group of players that can’t get over the hump.

Hockey purgatory just like the Minnesota Wild for years.

Well when your players don’t want to stay there then you don’t have to worry about that ask Tkachuk, Toffoli, and Johnny Gaudreau.

Holmy seems to be finding scoring opportunities lately. Hopefully some of these chances find the back of the net. What’s his upside, 20-25 goals? Or is that too optimistic.

Has anyone actually hit the net with a shot?

A second goal would be nice.

Varly may be the best backup in the league.

He just made a huge save.

BTW Lee blows. I know all the intangibles, blah blah blah, 2 pts in 7 game and he’s slow as balls and sucks along the boards and in front of net.

A win is a win
