GDT: Flames @ Blues Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, 6:00 MST (1:00 AM GMT)

[Straight Fire]

This is a bad hockey team that’s been propped up by elite goaltending. Wolf’s expected save percentage is like .878 from the start of November.
The talk of adding a UFA or two is insane. So is signing Andersson for 70+ million. This team has had the easiest schedule in the league up until this point.

Well put

YEGOAL

great dig from the call ups

 

[Straight Fire]

Sharongoalvitch!

Left wide open in the slot, had to score there - and did!

 

[Felidae]

Well, steep hill to climb. Hopefully we come out swinging. Didn't like the 2nd goal, not sure why that got by Wolf.
Conroy interview was good.

Besides the PP has Coronato played with Huberdeau and Kadri yet this year? Why not? I get it, Pospisil is strong on the attack to try to get these guys the puck, but man he's not contributing on the score sheet at all, unless you count PIMS.

That's why I suggested Pelts on the Huby - Kadri line. The same hustle with better offensive ability.

They've also played together before and did reasonably well.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Sharky! Him and the team needed that.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Pelts really is the #1 hypeman. Wish I had half his energy

 

[Boomstick]

I missed our goal, my firestick was acting up, had to reboot etc etc.

 

[JPeeper]

That Flames patented Penalty "Tank" Kill.

Blues just walk in and make it 4-1.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Great pass from Neighbors there

I have never loved Ras on the PK. Giordano he is not.

 

[herashak]

I have no idea how a team could make the playoffs with the 29th best pk, doesn’t look good

 

[JPeeper]

Flames outshooting the Blues 17-8 this period and now have more shots after being heavily outshot. Losing 4-1.

If Wolf isn't playing at a Vezina level we ain't winning.

I have no idea how a team could make the playoffs with the 29th best pk, doesn’t look good

We also have the 28th best offense. By almost every metric the Flames should be a bottom 5 team.

I mean even if we make the playoffs is anybody expecting more than 5 games against the Western conference winners? I dunno about the rest of you but I have seen my fair share of weak wristed 1st round exits.

When is it time to try Bean-Weegar?

Call ups + Rango's line has been our best in this one

Nice to see Rango pick up his game. He’s looked dangerous for about 6 straight even if the points haven’t been there.

Sharangovich and Kuzmenko looked pretty good together for a bit there..

 

[Boomstick]

Not very impressed by most of the team tonight. Not much of an effort.
Oh well, play like this we'll get trounced by the Jets too on Saturday.

 

[Mobiandi]

The Blues are one of those teams. Feels like wins against them come very difficult.

Hoping to see some new faces in defense at some point. It’s good that the farm team is rolling but our #4-6 Dmen are out there doing cardio most nights and it would be nice to try something else

 

[Boomstick]

Should have been some fisticuffs after the 3rd goal.

 

[Boomstick]

Well, that sucked. Have a good Friday everyone, see ya Saturday night.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Not a very fun game.
Flames just seem to keep crapping their pants anytime the get into a playoff spot, or have chance to create separation from teams behind us. So frustrating.

 

[JPeeper]

I just knew after winning the previous 3 games we'd blow both games against St. Louis, have to stick to .500. Without the 5 game winning streak to start the year we've been .500 the entire season (actually a few games below now). Need to get on an extended losing streak to bring us back down to earth.

 

[Straight Fire]

I got pulled away for the 3rd. We got spanked.

Let's see if they can get us to glass half full again next game.

 

[Anglesmith]

Completely missed this one. I'm super upset because it sounds like a really fun game. Anyway....

 

[Body Checker]

Boring game, release the Kuz, need some creativity out there, not sure about Huska, seems like a placeholder

Huska is a good coach. This is a bottom 5-10 roster that is in the top half of the league.

The PK is bad but they lost Lindholm, Hanifin and Tanev. 3/4 high end penalty killers they had.
