GDT: Flames vs Devils (HNIC)

[Wheels of Poirier]

Jooris and Glencross were definitely 2 of the 3 stars last night; it's anybody's guess who the third was.. Johnny was everywhere, but Gio and Brodie each had a gaffe that cost us a goal.. very uncharacteristic of them, unless the new thing now is to make sure we're losing in the 3rd to make things interesting lol either way, Brodes and Gio redeemed themselves later in the game, and Brodie was actually quite good other than not picking up Zajac on that one goal. You could tell he was pissed with himself afterward. On to Anaheim Tuesday, let's hope Hiller didn't use up all of his revenge power last game

About Knight being in the shootout, it may have just been a gut feeling but Knight made a nice little move there.

He looked like some guy in an outdoor rink shootout warming up a goalie.

I'd recommend seeing your optometrist.

Page 11 of this thread is epic. Not as epic as the Oilers PGT, but still epic in its own right.

Ramo will be in net. I'll be shocked if it's Hiller.

Was at the game last night. Great atmosphere and i called it to my buddies that we were winning this game, just before we made it 4-3.

Yeah he didn't look out of place at all.

I just watched the game again.

I ****ing love this team!

As expected. San Jose hasn't done very well this season, so it make sense to put Ramo in net versus them.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I thought Ramo played particularly well in the 3rd and OT, I'm starting to think it looks as though Ramo plays best under a heavy work load.

 

[Volica]

Boy. It's hard not to love this team.
Last night, in the middle of the second, I started getting this feeling like... is this finally the game that we start slowing down? We missed 3-4 high quality scoring chances (like when Gooch missed a gaping net), and I was like, this reminds me of the Flames from a few years ago, we can't even capitalize on scoring chances.

They never quit, and when they scored at 3rd goal, I turned to my girlfriend and was like; we're winning this game. When we got that 4-4 goal, I nearly exploded out of my seat. I can't remember a time I was so jazzed about this team.

That Johnny Hockey kid is something eh. On the other hand, I'm all for sending Sven and Gooch down. They don't need to be playing 7 minutes a night; that's not how either of them will right the ship (Although each time I think Sven looks great; this might be the only thing I think Bob's out to lunch with). You have guys in the organization who can play 7 minutes a night and do something more with it (bang, fight, be a tool, etc).

None-the-less. Incredible game.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yeah I can't remember who posted it earlier in this GDT, but I haven't been this excited about the Flames since 04'. My wife is so pissed at me because of how obsessed I am.

And back off AF, she ain't that mad.

 

[Anglesmith]

I really liked that Ramo kept coming up with the big save when the team was down by 1 or 2 goals. Guy plays the same regardless of what's happened before. And I really like Ramo in the shootout. Hiller as well. I feel like we should have a good record in shootouts this season.

So last night when I was watching the game, I thought I was quiet when we tied the game... turns out I still woke up my roommate with my restrained "Yeah!"

It's alright though, he's a Canuck fan.

 

[Sean Monahan]

I literally screamed and started shaking my roommate uncontrollably when Glencross scored the 4-4 goal. I'm having so much fun watching these Flames play!!!!!!!

I thought it was a nice touch too when they interviewed Lanny after the game and asked him what made the 89 team so special. Lanny said it was the fact that every guy on that team wanted to be with each other and bought into the team mentality. There was no "I" on that team and everyone worked towards a common goal. It is pretty evident that the Flames and the coaches have installed this into our locker room, as a result the boys are having fun and playing great.

I'll reserve my expectations until after this California trip, but if we do well...

This.

This team has my attention and emotions! Ever since that game in Vancouver I feel like this team has found it's identity! This place will explode if we make the playoffs! And we will worship Aaron Ward and elevate him to hockey god status!

So many epic comebacks! So many great moments this season! I'm trying to debate which comeback was better? This one, or the game around Christmas last year against St. Louis? Either way, this team gives us sooo much to be happy about!

I think it's time for a new roommate

Did you guys notice how pissed off Gio was when he was the reason the 4th goal went in? You could already tell he wanted to make up for that goal. It just shows how passionate he is for the game.

Could say the exact same for Brodie on that Zajac goal.

Completely agree. Everyone wants to make up for their mistakes, we all want to win. We don't stop playing our butts off until the clock says 00:00.

I'm pretty excited for this team.

You win!

Man, I went back and re-watched the highlights from last night and they honestly felt like highlitghts from the '04 cup run. Just amazing atmosphere.
