Probably wait for Sutter to suck on the first line and bump McCann out of the middle for a couple of games.

I think the plan is to stretch out their 9 games each, then lend 1 or both out to the WJC.

No rush to get JV in the lineup. Him and McCann will get a fair audition.

Last year Bo was in a make or break situation. This time, I think the kid's are here for the long haul. There's just no rush to get them in the lineup.

I think Flames come ready to play tonight. 4-3 but don't know who wins
- VANTEL

Ya Flames will show up. I called a 4-3 OT game for Wed night and I'll stick with the same as well. 4-3 in OT...take your pick. Russell scores for Calgary and Horvat scores for Van if they win in OT.

Very possible. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get JV in. Don't want too long of a layoff from game action.

We play back to back on the road so I see JV getting a game Mon or Tues.

That may not happen for awhile though.
Think back to last year when Sedins and vrbata were on fire to start, until teams adjusted, which resulted in Vrby on the 2nd line.
I see one of the 4th line needing a maintenance day, Allowing jv to slot in

Frustrated not knowing when JV will suit up. Whats the point of being in the line-up as a young guy if you dont play. Lets see what this kid can do!

It will be the game after this. Reason being is that last game was well played vs the flames with this same line up. I don't think Willie wants to make any changes after such a positive outcome in an away game. Now is a chance on home ice. You haveto give your team the benefit of the doubt when all played well except Sbisa.

(quoting Vantel)

For now, Vrbata gets the benefit of the doubt due to his senority.

Did you see my response to you in the last blog? Why don't you msg General Fanager to ask about the salary-cap situation?

I suspect you're right, that they'll put Markstrom on IR before game time today.
- Carol Schram

General Fanager responded to me( great guys) , they said Higgins will be placed on LTIR or Bachman called up on emergency , thus no cap hit. They will update soon .

Any puppies I can kick today

I think Willie expects a certain type of game vs Calgary that he prefers both Prust and Doresett in the lineup for it. I am willing to be JV is in next game in the 4th line wing spot

I'd rather JV be in Jr then sit at all really. And I actually would prefer if he was in Jr. His consistency is terrible.

Can we not make Sbisa the new luongo? You remember how no goal was ever schnieders fault and every one was luongos? Last game Hutton got caught and people blamed Sbisa. In preseason Hutton got undressed by nuge but sbisa was to blame. I'm not saying LS was at no fault on either goal but can we blame the guy at biggest fault?
