As the Calgary Flames' training camp continues for another week, a fascinating battle on the blueline is shaping up.
Currently, the Flames still have 10 defencemen in camp and how they manage to trim that number by two or three elicits one of the more lively discussions surrounding the team.
Given the way rookie T.J. Brodie, shown above at centre, has performed in the preseason, general manager Darryl Sutter's job has become all the more difficult. The youngster's offensive smarts -- his ability to join the rush and create opportunities, something the defence sorely lacked last season -- has greatly improved his chances to stick with the NHL squad.
In Tuesday night's game against the Phoenix Coyotes, Brodie scored the third goal in a 3-1 victory, a goal that really wasn't as it sailed through a hole in the mesh. Regardless, it was the 20-year-old's third tally of the preseason. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
