Right, I was thinking that game could possibly improve our cushion. Guess not.

Hearing lots of chatter regarding the Flames and Mark Stone. Given what they got for Duchene, as exciting as it would be, I almost hope Brad doesn't pull the trigger. Unless, and it's a really, really big unless, he could find a way to resign him while keeping Tkachuk (although I have considered a Tkachuck for Stone swap).

NO.. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Do not trade Tkachuk. He is the next captain of this storied franchise. Did Peter Chiarelli hack your account?
I have to look into this Stone thing bit more but never MT...
That happens and I will become a Oiler fan I swear. Ok, perhaps a Seattle fan..(Lets not get to crazy here)

Absolutely right. We already have a Stone anyway, his name is James Neal....just make him do what he is getting paid for! Never trade Tkachuk!!

I doubt it would happen, I just said I considered it. As near as I can tell, the only real downside is that Stone is older and would be a UFA vs a RFA. He's bigger, consistently puts up more points on a worse team, hits, plays 20 minutes a night, etc. He likely isn't the agitator that Tkachuk is either. It is likely to much of a lateral move with the UFA/UFA factor to be taken seriously.

Reports are Stone was offered term and in the 10 million dollar range by the Senators.... would Calgary have the funds to sign him in the off season?

Assuming the cap goes up to a projected $83M, Calgary will have about $17M in space for the 19/20 season. They also have 8 UFA/RFA but none of them are currently making over $2M with the exception of Smith, whom I don't expect to be back.
That being said, I think it is highly unlikely that Stone will get that much. Maybe he wants that much to play in Ottawa? $10M would make him the 7th highest paid player in the league as it stands right now, and, while he likely will this year and I think is a good player, he's never put up more than 65 pts in the six years he's been in the league.

I heard this and I don't get it, as why not put BSD back in against a struggling Ducks team to start getting back in form, as games are only going to get more important as we get closer to playoffs. Unless he is trade material??

I think it would be very stupid for the Flames to trade Rittich. I am leaning more towards maybe he is hurt. I remember before the break there was a game where he was slow to get up, perhaps they just want to use the time to get him better. Smith is 3-0-1 in his last 4 starts so why not.

Maybe it is a test to see if Smith can string together 6 or 7 consistent games. Not wins, but consistent games, because the Flames have usually out scored his mistakes for the 1/2 half of the season. If plays 2 more really solid games tonight and Sunday, I bet nothing happens and the Flames are hitting the playoff with Smith and Rittich. If not, maybe the GM has been speaking with Columbus or LA.

Well...hopefully Smith gets even better tonight...because I really hate the Ducks. Their season makes me happy! Hope the Flames help them continue their downward trend.
Go Flames!

What's going on with Smith, normally he would have let that in.

I'd like to thank the Flames for softening up the Islanders, that led to an Oiler win last night

So, Ducks player trips his own guy and Mat gets the penalty? I hope there is a make up call early in the third....

I just want Flames to kill the penalty...a makeup call won't cut it if Ducks score on that. The ref called that from behind Flames net, all he saw was Tkachuk and a Duck falling and blew whistle. Maybe he could have trusted the other ref who was right there, and saw that he tripped on his own player.

I hate the penalty, but love that Perry got dumped on his cherry picking breakaway....what a POS!
But gee, it's great he didn't suffer a career ending injury. If he had, it sure would have been *cough* unfortunate......
