We keep rolling along here, game three of four in four nights. Expect an unruly mix of established vets and training camp scraps to be dressed tonight. Via Cruickshank at Inside the Flames, looks like the roster will be:
Todd Bertuzzi-Matthew Lombardi-Jarome Iginla
Michael Cammalleri-Mikael Backlund-Curtis Glencross
Brett Sutter-John Armstrong-Kris Chucko
Eric Nystrom-Warren Peters-Andre Roy
Robyn Regehr-Cory Sarich
Jim Vandermeer-Adrian Aucoin
Anders Eriksson-John Negrin
That leaves guys like Spang, Tremblay, Pete Vandermeer, Seitsonen, Wilson, Palin, Watt and Germyn without an appearance three days in.
Also, Lombo gets his annual pre-season turn at centering Iginla while guys like Chucko, Sutter and Peters will see game action for the first time. Im most looking forward to my first look at Mikael Backlund in a game situation, personally.
Anyays...*If you're thinking that...*
*Sutter, Armstrong and Chucko will get torched* You're RIGHT.
*Kipper will be strong in his first appearance* You're WRONG.
*Prospects who haven't seen action yet are low on the "will make an impact in this organization" totem pole* You're RIGHT.
*John Negrin appreciates being paired with Anders Eriksson again* You're WRONG.
*Matthew Lombardi is attractive* You're A GIRL. Or GAY.
*My Dimentia is advancing at an ever increasing rate despite our supposedly Utopian, all-inclusive health-care system" You're A BUNNY RABBIT.
Go Flames!
