Flames Game Day
Flames host the Coyotes tonight, 8PM MT, RSN West.
This isn't really my wheelhouse, but here are some early season numbers for Flames prospects (Amateur division):
I'll pass on noting any stats for the Pro prospects, as looking at the numbers for the 3-7-1 Quad City Flames is pretty damn depressing (exception: Matt Keetley).
Tonight: I suspect that Phoenix is probably the worst team in the conference, even though they are no longer the worst-managed, and they are probably headed (eventually) in the right direction. The Flames generally beat them, and in every game I can remember, they have massively outchanced the Coyotes. I fail to see why tonight should be any different, though the bottom D pair(s) need to be a lot more on the ball with Regehr out.
Calgary 5 (Iginla, Phaneuf, Moss x3 -- this kid is going places, I'm tellin ya!)
Phoenix 3 (let's say Doan, Special Ed, and Mueller -- I think he's shooting about 75% career against CGY)
Go Flames.

That young Lundmark kid could be a real go getter!!!
Seriously, though, rough start for Ryder and it's likely he's shaking off that year's rust.
If a team loses to the worst team in the conference on home ice, does it then become the worst team, or just a bad one?
ya, backlund is playing on västerås's first line with the leagues leading scorer (14gp, 28p) so hes put in good position to develop me thinks
