Episode 112: Shaking Up The Lines

Posted on March 9, 2016

Joni Ortio picked up his first win of the season during a good week for the Flames, in which they earned 3 of a possible 6 points. This week Flames fans got to see some different forward lines and defensive pairings than usual, which we’ll discuss our thoughts on.

After having a terrible start to the season, Joni Ortio has emerged as the Flames starting goalie. Will he remain the starter for the remainder of the season? Who plays more games from here on out – Hiller or Backstrom?

We’ll make our predictions on who the Flames use their last 2 call-ups on, and what will happen on the blueline this week when Wideman returns.

Plus we give our thoughts on the World Cup format, the new uniforms, what this means for the future of the NHL at the Olympics and more.
