Flames win 5-2. Also, I've seen a lot of people mention how much Johnny would fit on this Devils team. High-flying, fast and young. CBJ looks like they'll be bad for the forseeable future unless they land Bedard, NJ is a team on the cusp of being a playoff contender. Is the anonyminity in CBJ worth the trade off playing for a actually good team?

Be butter. Go Flam!

There's a lot of pressure on him in CBJ for sure. I don't think he had a lot of offers on the table even though IMO he should have. He is playing decently and we all know he is a legit superstar in his own right. Hope it turns around there eventually. But yeah, I'm sure he thinks about his decision once in awhile.

 

[Felidae]

Haven't been able to watch the past few games in full. Finally have time today, which means the losing streak ends now

This should be an exciting game though, NJD has a lot of young talent and they've been playing incredibly well, and it looks like your first line is finally starting to pick up steam. Now if only we can get a decent goaltending performance. He's been below a .900% in the last 3 of 4 games, and barely above .900 sv% in the other one.

With the way it happened I doubt Columbus was an option until he realized he couldn't go to Philly and didn't want to go to New Jersey. Him ending up there just reeks of Philly tunnel vision and scrambling afterwards to make something work. NJ is the better fit stylistically but I doubt he wanted to play there as a Flyers fan.

 

[23Monahan]

Not feeling to good about this one tonight, jersey has been very solid this year and are very quick, hope the boys can prove me wrong and Vladar can help get the W!

He grew up a Flyers fan and his best buddy Hayes is on the Flyers.

0 doubt in my mind that Philadelphia was his 1st choice. Unfortunately for him Fletcher was too busy throwing money at scrubs to make room for him.

Yeah I'm amazed Fletcher was completely fine with letting a FA like that who wants to sign go for a couple of easily replaceable players.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Huberdeau out apparently

 

[Mobiandi]

Gaudreau will end up in Philly by year 4 of that contract. Columbus is never gonna come close to the playoffs in the short-term.

Markstrom again

 

[23Monahan]

Wow huberdeau, tanev, kylington and stone out and back to back markstrom going for our 6th straight loss ahaha atleast my expectations have lowered, let get it done boys!

 

[Backlund]

Huberdeau out apparently

I'm not nearly as worried about this as I should be. Huberdeau hasn't done much this year at even strength, this is more of a PP problem.

Did he actually have an offer from NJ?

Regarding Huberdeau hopefully it's not anxiety issues or something like that. Total speculation on my part. Maybe the flue which is definitely going around.

 

[flames23]

What the hell. "I want to give Vlad a game a week" enter Marky b2b edition. Guess he'll play Thurs then and/or start the second in this one. Looking at the sched it actually looks like he's giving Vlad the chance to play his old team Thurs. I thought we played the rags next for some reason.

Oh welp shit lineup. Expecting #6
It is only the second game of the year that we're betting underdogs. Beat the oil in their barn in the first. We were slight faves yesterday.
That'll happen w our crazy home stretch we had there.

Hopefully it's not anxiety issues or something with Huberdeau. Total speculation on my part. Maybe the flue which is definitely going around.

The rumored deal was for more money. So he took less money from us and New Jersey to go to Columbus. Doesn't really make much sense until you factor him really only wanting to go to Philadelphia and being a Flyers fan his entire life.

 

[JPeeper]

Sutter ripping our defensive depth is kind of hilarious when in pre-season we were talking about having 8-9 NHL ready d-men. He ain't wrong though.

And I'll re-iterate what I said a few days ago, there are still fans who want to trade Hanifin for a forward, f***ing lmao.

 

[Tofveve]

Decent start

 

[Tofveve]

Wow Kadz demolish

 

[Felidae]

What a hit by Kadri

 

[Tofveve]

Hope that hit doesn't get a look

 

[Bounces R Way]

Take a seat son

 

[flames23]

Whoa a pp 4 mins in. Huby gotta be shakin his head.

 

[BRobMint]

It’s time

 

[flames23]

Mangia gotta bury that. Glad to see him get a grade a chance tho.
