TurdBurglar Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The 3rd period of last nights game they were speculating Romanov might be taking Chiarot’s place along side of Weber. I also misquoted earlier in the other thread, Chiarot isn’t playing tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’m happy for a game that I can watch! I want the new KK line to dominate tonight. Screw that Sutter guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor is obviously evaluated as not as good as Kulak or he would be playing, coaches like to win ... likely also evaluated as not currently as good as Romanov, but there is the possibility that Romanov has been played even though Mete is currently seen as some tiny bit better as AR is the future ... would IMO make no sense to play Mete ahead of Romanov or Kulak unless as a last resort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just the best player but also the best fit for Weber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 What an opportunity for Kulak. If he nails this like he did with Petry he might be an answer to Weber‘s mobility issues. I really want another dominant win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Didn’t Weber play his best games yesterday? From what I heard on radio and the highlights, Weber didn’t seem to be suffering from mobility issues lately But maybe I am wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard on radio and the highlights, Weber didn’t seem to be suffering from mobility issues lately But maybe I am wrong There was one instance where he got burned pretty cleanly at the offensive blue line. The Canucks player gained about 8-10 strides on him. I’m generally not too bothered about Weber’s mobility and think it is overstated but that play really stood out. I believe it was when we were on the power play and Price had to come up with a big save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But unfortunately, the alternative is a D that is skewed toward immobility. It's the single biggest structural weakness on this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Random Thought: Was there any reason the second Vancouver game couldn't have been Tuesday ... or tonight's game tomorrow? Would seem a logical rule for scheduling this season that there is no travel before the second of two-in-two-nights. Playing Tuesday would have meant back-to-back after one day to travel to the west coast ... but at least they could have gone "home" to bed Monday night. Likely/undoubtedly TV interests (i.e., the almighty dollar) were involved ... actually I'll say hopefully, as otherwise there seems to be no logical reason.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Given the scheduling, and the fact that the Flames will be highly motivated to impress Old Man Sutter, a win tonight will be an impressive statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 isnt Ducharme stating Romanov will line up with Weber and not Kulak? And look at those numbers from Price over 4 starts! Wow!!

DON Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hope they can solve Markstrom this time. PP up to 14th in league. PK still not great, maybe with no Chariot that will change, good or badly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
