Todd Cordell: On strong 5v5 numbers, Czarnik's role, and Hanifin's penalty killing

James Neal Brouwer ?!? They said he sat the WHOLE 3rd period last game he played so poorly. I swear we are snake bitten when it comes to signing free agent veterans..

Rittich was a UFA also

I think at this point Brouwer has more points.

Smith is what scares me the most, its rittichulous

only 4.5 more years

Of course smith is set to start against the habs, so dumb given that Rittich is coming off a shutout win. Just brutal. Bennett on the 2nd line with Backlund and Tkachuky.

Dube on the third line with jank and Neal

I think Peters is afraid of upsetting Smith

At least Peters recognizes this. Glughead would have had him stand in front of the net on the power play!

Going now and voting yes.
If we can hold a Stampede within a couple weeks after being underwater the Olympics is no problem.



Plus we already did it once. The best Winter Olympics ever.

I'm a yes-man too - it's nice to finally find one. Seems like everyone is against it. I can understand it if someone is tight on the dough but for the most part people are just being stingy. Once in a lifetime opportunity and I for one would love to have that

That being said everyone is entitled to their own opinion - just make sure you go out and actually vote!!!

In flames news...

The good is that Dube is looking ready to return!

The bad is that I still can't believe Czarnik is looking like the scratch... His time on the second PP in LA was the best that unit has looked all year.

Czar and Rittich for Hath and Smith and we'd be celebrating the win on Thursday.

Anyone who doesnt vote shouldnt have an opinion. They make that choice by not voting.

I have heard mixed reviews on the matter. It should be close. I'm on the no side of the fence.

Done. Yes. Next time let's just agree to meet at the bar instead.

I agree man. Czarnik has looked fantastic so far, just hasnt finished yet. So annoying. Another loss to montreal

I've heard so much negativity to the point that I feel bad for saying yes

I understand that city debt is the main concern but overall I can't help myself thinking of how cool it'd be to live in the heart of the olympics. Especially ones that Canada are so good at. Vancouver 2010 was my own personal favourite olympics (wasn't around for '88) and I'd love to have that energy right at home.

He's still put up some points despite getting no opportunity though. Even looked great in his short stint taking over Frolik's spot in 3M.

On the other side, I haven't hated what Hath has brought to the table. He has been noticeable on most of his shifts despite not providing all that much offence. Still want Czar but it's nice to have too many players over not enough... finally.

Still think we'll pull the W but it's gonna be a close one if Smith is in

We win and Bennett sheds em with Domi

Hunk? Is that you?!

Listen I am trying my best to stay positive- but its just baffling that they keep giving Smith starts, especially after Rittichs solid performances. Its stupid, why not ride the hot goalie for a bit? reward Rittich for his strong play. Its costing us points and Smith is consistently letting in soft goals, that's why the team is in comeback mode almost every game

If Smith was off for a couple games, sure, I would get that. But hes been absolute dog poop since last February for fck sakes.
