Hockey Talk

Flames discussion on the FAN960 with Peter Maher.

Highlights:

- Flames are kicking tires with salary floor teams, trying to dump some salary. No surprises here.

- Teams needs include: a better start by Kipper, more effective defense (Aucoin and Sarich mentioned).

- Adam Pardy has a chance to stick with the team.

- The first line scoring unit will likely be Bert, Langkow and Iginla to start. Organization expects Lombardi to step up as a 2nd line center.

- Some discussion of NW division opponents.

Nothing ground-breaking but, hey...it's the middle of August. Plus, it's good to hear from Maher, who is close with the players and coaches and always has his ear to the ground.
