These are the lines the Flames practiced with this morning. Would they actually run a bottom D pair with only 13 NHL games between them against Nashville?

#Flames lines/pairings at morning skate in Nashville ...
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Czarnik
Bennett-Dube-Neal
Frolik-Ryan-Hathaway
Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Stone
Valimaki-Andersson
Well, uh, that was rather distasteful. At least Neal is starting to score, I guess.
Big shakeup in the lines today:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett
Tkachuk - Backlund - Czarnik
Dube - Lindholm - Neal
Hathaway - Jankowski - Ryan
This is how the lines should have been from the start of the season. Hopefully this can get the team going.

thanks.

So Monahan not injured which IMO was pretty obvious. Lots of speculation that he was but it seemed pretty clear that he wasn't.
Rittich was injured second half of the season though. That's interesting.
Lindholm, Gaudreau, Neal all healthy.
Basically in the playoffs they just got outplayed in a short sample. Shit happens.

I’m surprised about Monahan as he looked so lethargic and disengaged for most of the series.
Andrew Mangiapane - does he make the team this year? or is he just another bubble prospect?

.......He played the first 12 games in the AHL, and only went down after that for a conditioning stint after injury. He's already made the team.
