God, I keep forgetting Zac Rinaldo is still in the game.

Why? Why is he still in the league? Stop that.

After Maurice's comments, and the loss of Sheifele and Laine, one has to expect the Jets will be taking liberties on the Flames top players.

You would not pick Gandhi as your winging man in a tag team match, why would you pick Janko for what could be one of the most physical games of the year?

This is the exact reason you have Rinaldo and the only thing he does well. Let him flourish!

I didnt realize until Saturday game how much smaller the Jets are on D without Big Buff, Myers & Trouba. As Burke would say, that's a lot of beef not there. Lowry is a big boy but he really didnt seem to want to engage Lucic. If Benny & Lucic & Chucky keep pounding on the likes of Pionk & Morrissey, they will wear them down. I noticed, especially in that 2nd period they were looking behind them when they went to retrieve pucks. Flames need to keep pounding them.

Totaly agree. They were hearing footsteps all night long and I would expect the Flames will change nothing about their game plan this afternoon.

Funny thing, even with Trouba, Byfuglien, and Myers, the Jets were still horrible on the penalty kill.

Maurice is a clown that has not adapted systems that meet his team strengths.

Gentlemen! How are you this fine game day my friends. I’m actually more excited about playoff hockey than getting laid...

What happened to Lie Anny by the way?

Jets will be head hunting. Flames need to be able to respond, I think Buddy gets the nod (although not a thug....you can't buy size).

DD! 😇

I fully agree, now is exactly the wrong time to take out Rinaldo. Even tho Shalilifée’s injury was just bad luck, Benny and the Jets will be out for blood. Rinaldo is sure to get something to eat tonight. 😈

Losing Buff really hurt them. Did we ever hear why he decided not to play? Was it the management in Winnipeg that Buff had a falling out with or did he just lose his love for the game?

Jets just seemed like they did not want to engage Calgary physcally after the Tkachuk fight. Add Rino onto your list of guys that will grind the Jets down. He is not a good hockey player but Flames need guys that bring the energy and the extra effort.

Was never a big fan of Maurice & was surprised when they extended him. But you have to admit, those 3 were pretty formidable when the games got nasty. I remember Trouba & Bennett getting in a doozy of a fight.

Agree I would keep Rinaldo in the lineup if things get a little whacky otherwise I dont see a lot of minutes for him. Reider & Ryan were superb on the PK & that's where they'll get their extra minutes. Thats ok by me.

Very sloppy. They cant beat a jets team without schiefele and Laine they dont deserve to be in the playoffs.
