GDT: 2019-20 GM#58 LA Kings vs Calgary Flames @7:00pm 2/12/20 We get to be embarassed on national tv now!

[Raccoon Jesus]

what was it at the beginning of the season? the favorites coming out of the west and an "elite" team

**** em

best d in the league, possibly three norris caliber players

 

[ru4reals]

Frk better not get sent back down.

He did well today he's going down for sure. Not good for the tank.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This will very likely remain the highlight of the season.

 

[Kingspiracy]

It does seem like our boys enjoy pissing in the flames cornflakes, its about the only game that they get up for.

 

[ZJames]

Peterson needs to clean up his positioning. Only got to see the highlights, but it seems like every single goal against him was due to him overcommitting and getting himself out of position.

 

[Johnny Utah]

MacDermid!

 

[Steve Zissou]

Peterson needs to clean up his positioning... although I only got to see the highlights

 

[SlimCharles]

Always nice to beat the Farts.

 

[BigKing]

Good for MacD.

Again, this is an example of being engaged physically in a hockey game. They actually don't look like complete trash when they skate hard.

Hard work can make up for talent deficiencies in regular season hockey games. I guess it's good for the tank that they don't work hard enough regularly but that shit better stop next season since they need to build a culture.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

 

[Johnny Utah]

Sometimes MacD looks like an 80’s goon but sometimes he looks like Brent Burns. Is there untapped potential there?

 

[King'sPawn]

I see there are no claims today that the Flames are living rent-free.

 

[ZJames]

In all 3 goals, he got caught out of position. I'm not saying he's going to be a bust or anything. Just that he has to clean up that area.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

It is Petersen, not Peter his son.

I read that everywhere.

 

[lumbergh]

He needs to clean up his play with the puck behind the net. Took lessons from the Jonathan Quick School of Puckhandling. The other two goals were not due to overcommitting.

This part made me laugh.

 

[Lt Dan]

Should Calgary be more ashamed of losing to us or for Wagner scoring on them?

 

[Oil Dood]

I see there are no claims today that the Flames are living rent-free.

Ugh, we have been hearing that on the northern side of the BOA.
What they fail to understand, and I think you guys will get it, Tkachuk wakes up the wrong people with his antics and his team pays the price.
Good on you guys for beating them.

 

[seamore]

I think it was when we beat the Flyers 5-3 twice in the same week. Around New Year's maybe?

New Years 2019?? ;|

 

[TruKingFan]

Guess Rittich is getting the shutout.

Not having a good night are ya? LOL

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bonus, that was on national tv. I know no one was watching, but the Flames shit themselves for a national audience. That's heart warming. Pretty sure some angels got their wings.

Also give Martinez the C for now, guy is doing anything a player can do, if he does that for a contender for this year and next, he'll be worth much more than his salary.

yeah

As much as I want him traded, I also don't want him traded.

It's their go to message for essentially everyone.

Having a talented pest is one of the few things they can fall back on this season.

I actually think it has worked the opposite way for them. Calgary is the type of team that needs to play a boring unemotional game, the second they wake up another team their stars vanish and it becomes the Tkachuk circus.

I hate that you guys are having a bad year, I love watching Doughty vs McD so much, would love to have seen a best of 7 of that.
