Flames 2, Islanders B Squad 0: So we watched Strome and Kabanov
This is the type of preseason game I call "prospect pulp": All due respect to Jay Pandolfo, Tim Wallace and Trevor Frischmon (who was 11-4 on faceoffs), but they are guys fighting for fourth-line or AHL call-up status. Likewise, veterans Steve Staios and Milan Jurcina are what they are. (And...
