The top line waking up would sure help things. I guess we'll see where that goes. If Mony and Johnny get on their crazy pace from November, the could fight back into a wild card. A win tonight would be really swell, but realistically the Kings are near the top of the conference and we're not so I'm not overly optimistic. Frolik on IR doesn't help either. Still, the Flames have been able to get into LA's heads recently. So you never know.
I'm glad for Freddie that he got claimed. If anything Dougie should be happy for his bro, because the first team with waiver priority grabbed him so he should see his ice time go up. Someone on CP floated the idea of a Hamilton for OE-L trade.
Tonight's lineup:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Brouwer
Bennett - Jankowski - Hathaway
Lazar - Stajan - Mangiapane
Giordano - Hamilton
Brodie - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone
Smith
Man that right wing looks light right now. I'm guessing it'll be a stingy game both ways 1-1 for most of the game, Flame give up a back breaker at the end of the second and an empty netter towards the end. 3-1 LA. :S
