Solid Effort

I had the pleasure of going to the game last night and was very happy with the win. Other than the first period which wasn't that bad just alot of turnovers, I thought the Flames played a pretty good game not their best but who cares they got the W.

I liked the line combo's(even though they didn't stick at all), that Keenan put together at the start of the game. Obviously the Iginla line but I liked the look of both the CONROY-TANGUAY-MOSS and the NOLAN-LOMBO-BOYD line but since the start of the game was a little sloppy, Keenan made some changes. The one change that Keenan made that I think should stick was the Yelle and Lombo combo, they played great last night and seem to have some chemistry going. Here are what I think the rest of the lines should look like after the break.

1- HUSELIUS-LANGKOW-IGINLA
2- TANGUAY-CONROY-MOSS
3- YELLE-LOMBO-NOLAN
4- PRIMEAU-BOYD-SMITH
E- GODARD, NILSON

Anyways overall it was a pretty good game. I also have to give kudos to Conroy cause at the start of the year I really questioned his play and I thought he was going to be really bad but he has been no where close to bad this year especially recently. I love what he brings to this team and hopefully he keeps it up. Good Luck to Iggy and Phaneuf at the All-Star game and hopefully they light it up. Finally one last note, Eric Nystrom was sent to back to Quad Cities today, mostly because we have alot of bodies up here right now. I dont like the move at all cause I thought he was a very good 4th liner and provided the Flames with way more energy and talent than Smith, Nilson, Primeau or Godard. Hopefully a couple of these guys are moved so we can make room for Nystrom full time.
