Head Tale

CalgaryPuck has lots of ideas and here’s a team preview from the Calgary Sun.  But here are some of the things I’m excited about for the Flames this year as the NHL season begins tonight…

• A completely re-vamped line-up with lots of good young players
• Same with the coaching group which is (almost) completely revamped as well.
• No more Troy Brouwer!
• A healthy Sean Monahan who underwent 3-4 surgeries in the off-season and is apparently the healthiest he’s been in years.
• Hopefully a way better power play than last year.
• Giordano paired with Brodie on defence again
• I’ve got a soft spot for Mark Jankowski and hope he has a breakout year
• Dillon Dube makes the team out of training camp.  How will he perform?
• Having a team that should make the playoffs.
• Having a team that could be a sleeper to make the Stanley Cup Finals!
