GDT: Flames go to Greaserville Saturday Oct. 15 - 8:00 pm game start

More hot takes: Mangiapane-Kadri-Dube is the first line

 

[crazyfisherman]

Waiting for the top line to get going. 2nd and 4th(!) Line has been great so far. 3rd line is good enough, but top line isnt doing much rn

More hot takes: Mangiapane-Kadri-Dube is the first line

Is that a hot take?

 

[Body Checker]

Really enjoyed that game. Toffoli looking better, defence was dope, love Kadri line, kept McDavid quiet mostly. Solid.

 

[Mobiandi]

Our powerplay entries have never looked better. Sutter made a good call to ride PP1 for 1:40 on that last powerplay

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Lewis had almost 16:00 of ice time. More than most every forward except for Backlund and Lindholm. About the same as Huberdeau. Crazy.

Is that a hot take?

Kadri is still ridiculously underrated

 

[Rubi]

Great game! Skinner was the only player keeping the Oilers in the game.

More hot takes: Mangiapane-Kadri-Dube is the first line

That’s not a hot take at the present.

 

[Rubi]

I'll sleep with a smile on my face tonight.

Trevor "pucks in deep" Lewis ahaha nothing to fancy, but has been very solid for us this far!

 

[RasmusAndersson]

Kadri has been the best Flame so far and is legitimately incredible. Best player on the team

 

[Anglesmith]

I don't understand how Kadri is so good and managed to hide it for so long in Toronto.

 

[Bounces R Way]

The Flames earned every inch of that win. That was a veteran performance by a veteran team in enemy territory. Loved the pressure the Flames put on the puck tonight. Pouring out a stiff one for the local hockey team.

Great : Vladar was very impressive. Shut the door when called upon. More starts for Vlad is a good thing. Tanev was quietly incredible, everything we were missing in round 2 last year. The 2nd line of Mangiapane-Kadri-Dube also excellent. Mike f***ING Stone holy shit dude save some for the rest of the season , Is Kylington's job in jeopardy?

Very good : Both special teams I liked a lot, even if you want a little more scoring from the PP. Hanifin and Andersson I felt really good about. Noah showed up in this one. Weegar I like this player a lot, made great quick decisions and very physical breaking up the cycle. Backlund, Lewis, and Coleman that's what I like to see defensively, PIA against the Oilers all night. Lucic made Evander look invisible, quality physical presence. Toffoli again I liked but he's got to finish.

Good : Lindy was solid. Zadorov when he makes the smart small simple play is really quite a good NHL dman. Ritchie was skating well, maybe I've judged this player too harshly.

So so : Huberdeau a little too hesitant, not moving his feet enough. Overall not a liability tho. Rooney definitely played and did stuff.

Complete shit : Draisaitl was garbo. Oilers also were diving all over the place.

Dude is what we wanted Tkachuk to be. He will be the captain next year the guys clearly feed off his energy.

Literally. And the way he drives the play up the middle and can carry a line is just amazing. What a stud

 

[FlamerForLife]

I genuinely did not realize Kadri would be this good, this guys a stud

 

[Some Other Flame]

Gotta wonder if they're holding the C back as incentive for Lindholm to re-sign but yeah, just give it to Kadri

 

[Mobiandi]

It begins

 

[Rubi]

The final score wasn't indicative of the game. The Flames dominated for most of the game. Skinner made the Oilers look more competitive than than they were.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Same with Hubby since he was down in Florida. Was freaking beautiful to watch that game. Ah so glad you guys won!

I genuinely did not realize Kadri would be this good, this guys a stud

We always loved him...just had horrendous playoff luck with us. If someone sneezed refs would put Kadri in the box. Then cap juggling...I was happy when he won it with the avs.

It begins

they'll realize soon...

All I know after watching this game is that the Oilers are complete crap and we were winning the Cup.

We were? Again with the pessimistic outlook.

I think your biggest hurdle in the west to the finals will be the avs. The wild factor IMO is going to be between the wild and vegas. People sleep in the wild quite a bit.
