Calgary centre Olli Jokinen, left, and right-winger David Moss are two-thirds of the Flames OMG line, which also includes Curtis Glencross. Coach Brent Sutter reunited the line at practice Monday in the hopes of sparking the team offensively, starting with Wednesday s game against the visiting Colorado Avalanche. The OMG line is back in business for the Calgary Flames.Brent Sutter signalled the nfl jerseys comeback in Saturday s 2-0 loss to the Nashville Predators by shuffling David Moss(notes) from centre to wing on a line with Rene Bourque(notes) and Matt Stajan(notes).On Monday, the coach reunited Moss with Olli Jokinen(notes) and Curtis Glencross(notes).Tagged OMG last season by a grizzled media type, Olli, Mosser and Glencross experienced magical chemistry as the Flames rolled to a 27-11-9 rec nfl jerseys ord to close out 2010-11.Even with that valiant push, Calgary finished out of the playoffs due in no small part to their putrid start to the season. This year, the local heroes are 2-4-1 out of the gates.D j vu? It s frustrating when you don t get results, when you feel like you played a pretty good game, Moss said. If we get a couple bounces and get a couple goals, certainly our record could b nfl jerseys e different. But it s not. We ll have to work our way out of it. As for the change in assignment, Moss is not about to complain. Definitely more comfortable, he said. Playing centre on any line, you have different responsibilities. You take faceoffs. You re responsible in your own end. When you re on the wing, you don t lose all those responsibilities you still have some of it but certainly nfl jerseys you play a little bit of a different game. In seven games this season, Moss has one goal and one assist.Keeping it brief John Tortorella broke the unofficial NHL record Saturday for the shortest post-game news conference for a head coach.Steamed after his New York Rangers lost 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers, the diminutive bench boss marched out and kept his comments brief. I m not taking any que nfl jerseys stions, Tortorella said. We sucked from head to toe, and we need to move by it. So I m not going to dissect it with you guys. I know you have to do your job, but I m not answering your questions. OK. Sixteen seconds.In that same spirit, Niklas Hagman(notes) kept his comments brief and to the point Monday morning when asked about his recent banishment to the press box. I don t think it s ever fun nfl jerseys not to play, he said, concentrating on the slow and painful removal of his elbow and shoulder pads. Are you surprised? an inquisitor asked.Eighteen seconds passed without a word. I don t even know how to answer that, he said, finally. Obviously, the coach decides who plays. I just have to be ready to play when I get the chance to come back. Hagman was benched Saturday in favour of rookie Roma nfl jerseys n Horak(notes). Nothing appeared to change in practice Monday, with Hagman toiling as an extra forward alongside enforcer Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond(notes).Horak centred the fourth line between Tom Kostopoulos(notes) and Tim Jackman(notes) one of Calgary s best combinations in the loss to the Predators. Stay the course As for Sutter, the coach espoused words of encouragement to his players Mo nfl jerseys nday before practice. I wanted to meet with them separately, he said. The most important message I wanted them all to understand is, Stay the course. Let s not get frustrated by what s going on. The fact is we haven t been rewarded we ve played pretty well our last two games. Let s just stay with it. Don t get down. Keep your heads up. Keep trusting each other and believing in each other. Le nfl jerseys t s not worry about what everything else is being said, or may be said, around us. Let s just continue to stay focused on what we re doing, because we re doing some things pretty well right now, and we don t want to get off that track. Play Fantasy Hockey, now with Pro Leagues!
