Around the League - ...in 56 Games

[BertCorbeau]

Does it ever pay off to play a goalie on back to back nights?

...not even taking into consideration that Dave faced like 45 shots last night?

Their backup is some undrafted 25 year old Russian who didn't do that great in the AHL last year since Markstrom is out.

Given how Rittich played in the last two games, despite playing last night, it probably made more sense to gamble on the hot hand.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

So all we had to do was shoot from center ice on Rittich?

 

[Zybalto]

I think its more about the Flames coming off getting skated into the ground by us and facing a more rested Ottawa team on a high of a two game winning streak and last change.

Prefect game to bet on. Ottawa can still give up a 4 spot very easily though so the Flames gotta keep playing here. Personally, I have 0% confidence in maybe the most disappointing offence in hockey this year though.

Looks like the Flames used up all their (fuel?) on the Maple Leafs.

The dad joke you're looking for is:

"Looks like the Flames have burned out"

Rittich back to being less than good flames down 3-1 5 mins into second period...how do we always get the god mode of these freaking goalies

To be fair, not many goalies have gone God mode on us this year.

 

[Zybalto]

Oof.

Giordano on ice for 0 goals for and 4 against halfway through the game and sub 20% xGF%

Habs beating up on the Jets early.

 

[BertCorbeau]

So, including tonight, 5 out of Calgary's next 6 games are against Ottawa .. if they can't pad some points and get into a playoff spot after this stretch that's some seriously bad news.

Jets let Armia walk in twice, it's like they don't see him

You got it Bert!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Extra f*** Dave Rittich. Plays like Hasek against us then turns back into a pumpkin against another team.

 

[Zybalto]

So, including tonight, 5 out of Calgary's next 6 games are against Ottawa .. if they can't pad some points and get into a playoff spot after this stretch that's some seriously bad news.

....and 18 of the Jets next 38 are against the Leafs/Habs. I thought we handled the Jets quite easily and if the Habs prove to have the Jets number as well, who knows? Maybe the Canucks might be able to get back into it.

 

[Zybalto]

Jets let Armia walk in twice, it's like they don't see him

So far this year, Jets have been built on Helle keeping them competitive.

Really bad analytics.

 

[Warden of the North]

Rittich lets in a shot from centre ice. Of course

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Rittich looks line Hasek against us then let's in a goal from over the blueline against the Sens... what the hell.

 

[mcleafs]

Anderson hurt and out of the game for the Habs. Who knows how serious, but man alive he’s a good hockey player that simply cannot stay healthy.

 

[willmma]

Anthony Beauvillier picks the pocket of four Broons standing in front of the net and scores a beauty.



Amazing goal and so nice it happened to the Broons

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's actually quite funny how bad the Flames are.

 

[Superstar]

So all we had to do was shoot from center ice on Rittich?

Obviously the Sens are more skilled than the Leafs so they had no choice but to blasts the puck from centre ice...

 

[Zybalto]

Bruins imploding.

 

[Superstar]

Rittich lets in a shot from centre ice. Of course

Probably still looking for Nylander to skate in off the wing...

 

[CanadasTeam]

Bruins imploding.

6-2 now

edit: make that 7-2 Isles!

It's actually quite funny how bad the Flames are.

Their 5 on 5 play has been alarmingly bad in the last week or so.
