Rebuild over lol

With their win tonight, the Flames are back in the 2nd wildcard spot, but only a point behind the Kings for 3rd in the Pacific Division.

No salary retained - The Con Man did well.

I will miss Pelletier, but he's on the smaller side and is injury prone. Kuzy was gone at the trade deadline, but to include him in this trade for Farabee and Frost and a couple of picks heading to Philly (neither of them a 1st rounder), it's good work by Conroy.

/Pelletier was put on waivers earlier this season, any team could have had him for free.

Guess the flip is if Farabee is actually washed his contract sucks. Frees the Flyers up more to chase after Rantanen/Marner in the summer.

But if Farabee can be a consistent second liner it’s not bad. Bonus if Frost can too but next to no commitment.

It's quite conceivable that Kuzmenko will be playing in the KHL as early as next season. Obviously, the Flyers are betting on a bounce back and that he can help bring Michkov along, but just an exercise in tremendous patience by Conroy as Seravalli says he has been talking with the Flyers about Frost since September of 2024.

They took a goal away from Matt and awarded it to Blake Coleman post-game. Oh well.

I can't wait to see Kuzmenko benched by Torts.

I can't wait to see Kuzmenko benched by Torts.

that ... and I cant wait to see him be the go between/translator for Torts and Michkov

Torts: *screaming old hockey man blather at Michkov*
Kuzi to Michkov in russki " he said pass the puck to me and everything will be ok "
Michkov to Kuzi in russki: " I dont believe that old fuck face said that ... you tell that dog fucker to stay away from upper floor windows or else I will make sure he is going out "
Kuzi to Torts : "he say ok coach "

Kuzy to Michkov - Playoffs/KHL let's go

 

[forty_three]

I didn't realize that Kuzy was pending UFA.

Damn, Conroy made out like a bandit here.

Damn, Conroy made out like a bandit here.

I see it as a low risk potential high reward trade, but I like the fact that Conroy is bringing in two young guys that have some talent and will certainly get every opportunity to showcase that talent. Pushing Backlund down to third line center just makes sense at this point in his career (depending on how Frost plays obviously).

Not good enough for Team Canada, though...

Defenceman of the Month – Zayne Parekh (Saginaw Spirit) Nobody was matching the offensive output of Calgary Flames first round pick Zayne Parekh on the back end in January. The Saginaw Spirit rearguard finished the month with 11 goals, including a pair of hat-tricks, 10 assists and 21 points over 10 games along with a plus/minus rating of plus-14. Parekh produced points in all but one January matchup, with a five-point effort that included a hat-trick on January 18 against the Guelph Storm headlining his resume. Parekh added another hat-trick as part of a four-point effort on January 26 in Ottawa. This marks the third time in Parekh’s career that he’s received OHL Defenceman of the Month honours, following previous recognition in March 2024 and November 2023. An 18-year-old from Nobleton, Ont., Parekh sits tied for the OHL lead in points by a defenceman with 61 (22-39–61) through 40 games in his third OHL season. The ninth overall pick of the 2024 NHL Draft by Calgary, Parekh became the Spirit’s all-time leading scorer among defencemen this past month as he enters February with career totals that include 76 goals, 118 assists and 194 points over 156 regular season games. Last year’s OHL Defenceman of the Year and Memorial Cup champion, Parekh was selected by Saginaw with the 19th overall pick of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection.

Young Crosby with a nice snipe...Cam Talbot is going to shutout the Flames tonight.

Frustrating game against the Wings last night, I thought the Flames played quite well, but Cam Talbot was outstanding between the pipes.
