Todd Cordell: G72 Calgary Flames @ Winnipeg Jets: Five things to watch

Sounds like Ritter will be starting according to Derek Willls.

I think they’re going to run with Ritter as the number one unless he falls on his face.

Also Neal back skating with the team this morning.

The Jets have the speed, size, skill and depth to beat any team but they seem to only play good against the leagues top teams. If the Flames come out and use their great speed against the Jets and badly out shoot them it will be a rout. Helly can only hold them in games so long before the constant pressure and shots takes its toll and he lets in 1 or 2 softies. It should be a great game.

Never mind...Smith is starting.

Sounds like Stone is in tonight as well.

Who is stone in for? I guess it would be Fantenberg. But man I think he has played fantastic!!! A steady somewhat stay at home D man who really doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. Excellent pick up.

I think they should put stone as the 7th D man tonight. Ease him into a high intense game.

Hopefully Andersson isn't out with a broken thumb from that slash last night.

Loubo is tweeting 7 D 11 forwards tonight.
Quine is in for Mony but another forward who played last night will be out if thats the case.

Peters wants to start rotating in all of our D-Men down the stretch to give them all some time before the playoffs. I have no problem with that as we'll likely need them if we want to make a deep run. The Flames have the luxury of having 10-11 very capable NHL defenseman so it makes sense to me to give them all some games down the stretch and have them all ready to go. Once we clinch it also gives us the luxury of resting some of our Top 5 and getting some extra games in for the other guys.

Any official word on Monahan?

Didn't make the trip due to an illness. They don't want to risk the rest of the team getting it so he stayed home.

Flames dominate and are losing 1-0... and we hit 4 bars.

...and the Jets didn't get a game day blog......therefore, it's all Eklund's fault.

All this time I was blaming Bettman for 2004.
Please forgive me Mr. Bettman, Sir.
