Probably because Shink's playing for a spot and Sven believes/knows he's got it sown up so isn't trying as hard. JB better start telling some of these vets that if you don't play hard even in preseason, you'll be cut/traded/whatever even if WD likes them.

Weber so far looks like the only D man capable of carrying the puck out of our own end....

Bartkowski as well...this what the defense looks like without the top 3 and the offense without the Sedins/Vrbata

Nobody looks like they're trying very hard, wonder how many of the bubble players were told they're heading to France after tonight?

Calgary's lineup is just flat out better. But yeah, I wonder if some guys were told.

Not even close.

First of all it hasn't been as horrible as the score indicates. The first two goals there was no chance.

Horvat Tanev Edler Hansen Grenier Hutton in

Wacey H. Fedun Jones And a few others out

it's been pretty bad, the Flames have controlled the play when not shorthanded. They usually have the puck.

Agree with this.

If they truly want to cut the fat, then Sbisa should be the 7th dman or waived and Vey should be waived altogether. Give the young guys who are showing something a chance.

What are the odds that we have another goalie controversy this year?

They have their NHL roster playing . We have about 8 guys at least going back to Utica.

We have looked good at times.

I don't think our transition years are going to be that bad.

Add Tanev Edler , the D looks a whole lot different. Still even without Hamhuis.

Put in Horvat Hansen and we look a little better offensively

No diggity, no doubt.

Now I see him skating....

It's not like you are playing all rookies either. You trade Vrbata get a pick and use the cap space to bring someone in, same with Hamhuis

I liked JV tonight


Best line was Shink JV Jones

Except instead of two legitimate starters, it's two legitimate backups this time.

I'm just joking Thunda, calm down.

Shink and JV had some good moments in this game... Shink really stepped up the intensity and the two of them started flying in the 3rd.

I have a good felling about Markstrom this season. As long as they don't let him get too cold.

holy poop what a shot

I must be crazy, I don't think Vey has looked bad.

He was outplayed by Jones tonight and McCann the other night. Two players looking to win spots

We'll have to agree to disagree. I think that he's been distributing the puck well. Still not strong enough though.
