Pre-Game Skate Update – Game 1
The Flames and Canucks have skated in advance of Game 1 of their series later tonight.
Here’s what we know afterwards. I’m not in Vancouver, so here are a bunch of tweets from some fine media persons who are there.
THE CANUCKS
The Canucks didn’t ice a full group, so no lines from morning skate.
THE FLAMES
Sure does sound like Sam Bennett is IN tonight, and Karri Ramo will dress as back-up. From what I read, Hartley didn’t disclose a starter, but it’ll be Jonas Hiller most likely.
