Ongoing NHL Thread Part V minutes for fighting

In order to be a regular Stanley Cup contender, you need a true 1st line center and the Flames haven't had one since Joe Nieuwendyk. The Flames traded Nieuwy for Iggy and that was a great trade for both teams, but the Flames failure was not acquiring a top line center for Iggy (and no Craig Conroy doesn't count). Sean Monahan is a 2nd line center that has been put on the Flames top line because Brad Treliving hasn't been able to acquire anyone better during his seven years on the job. It's time for a new GM in Calgary.

I know that feel.

The entire time we had Rick Nash, he needed a top C and as soon as we draft Johansen we trade Nash. Then we finally get some wing depth in Atkinson, Bjorkstrand and Anderson and we trade Joey away. We finally get it together with Panarin and PLD and both go away.

We might already have a 1C, but we'll never know because our idiot coach keeps scratching them or putting them on 4th line wing. And of course making them dump and chase and block shots. In order to block shots, the other team has to have the puck. Hard to create offense when you don't have the puck.

Speaking of horrifying...

McDAvid will get his 100pts in these 4 games vs the Canucks

I am sure Jim Carey is available.

allllllllll righty then

I hope he has a really good game. Goalie stories are fun.

But he’ll probably get shelled since he doesn’t have a defense like Carolina’s playing in front of him.

Here's another fun goalie story...Alex Lyon is looking for his first win of the season tonight.

But I don't wish him well.

Casey DeSave!
One of the seasons best right there

Scratch that it is a goal.

Is it too early to wish Malkin to be scratched? Not that he is playing that bad but with him they suck.

Sean Monahan for Evgeni Malkin - The trade is 1-for-1

He needs the Tomas Sandstrom treatment Dave Brown dished out.

I'd have to think long and hard about ever letting him play again if it were me.

Of course it's not me and who knows what the league will do. He might not play until 2022 or he might win the Conn Smythe Trophy this year

Hey now, it's clear he's learned a lot from that 7 game suspension earlier this season.
