GDT: Flams(17-11-7) @ Gary's Golden Goosers(24-8-3), the Vegas Venereal Edition 6PM MDT SNW

[Bounces R Way]

Nice play

Rooney should have just stayed high.

 

[Felidae]

Well, still very much winnable only down 1.

That being said, we had ample time on the PP and still couldn't score. Not saying it is, but it feels like one of those games you know they'll lose despite the score.

 

[Straight Fire]

Stajes, one of my favorite Flames! Glad he's still connected to the club.

 

[JPeeper]

Watching two hockey games and the scores are 2-0 and 1-0.

When did hockey become soccer? zzzz

This is how it felt in about 2009/10 if I recall

 

[super6646]

That’s a dumb penalty to take with 10 mins to go

 

[Straight Fire]

Surprised we're still in this one

Zary dangled so hard my screen froze

 

[super6646]

lol flames just trying to blow it.

 

[JPeeper]

Holding the stick in the o-zone with 5 minutes left.

Now that is how you tank.

 

[super6646]

That’s game. Really is something when you know a 2 goal lead is a done deal.

Dumbass 3rd period by the team

 

[Straight Fire]

Dan thinking why why

 

[Dack]

Remember when we thought we were going to win the Eichel sweepstakes?

 

[Mobiandi]

Call up Kerins. Lotta useless vet fwds this year

 

[Bounces R Way]

We're just not talented enough to get through Vegas. They've shut us out for nearly 120 minutes. Best blueline in the league for my money.

 

[Felidae]

Damn

Well, honestly they played decently. Vladar had a good night and they had their scoring chances. Vegas was just better.

 

[Straight Fire]

Yuck

 

[super6646]

Expected loss. Tired of the limp dick scoring hockey leading us to 9th or 10th in the conference. This team’s playoff hopes rests on Hughes being out for months.

Musn't give up Valimaki
far too valuable for the franchise

I think you are misremembering that situation because Valimaki was apart of the Stone sweepstakes, and I don’t take issue with not giving up our best prospect for a rental that would’ve walked at the end of the season.

We were a distant second in the Eichel sweepstakes and it had nothing to do with valimaki.

 

[JurassicTunga]

What a game.

 

[herashak]

Undisciplined hockey, also boring

 

[Straight Fire]

Seeing Kuz walking into the hallway off the bench . . . Seriously dude, where is the even shitty scoring pace

Shari not scoring

Our offense is woeful

But I do see them purposefully protecting Dustin. They stick in Dan for the 2nd of a back2back against Vegas, Wolf got Sharks. It's not too hard to see that this is a pattern of what's going on. And not that I hate it. I'm just hoping DW can take over the reins full time at some point and not disappoint having been really eased into his gig. I only saw the 3rd but to see we were down by 1 only shows Vlad's not the worst goalie in the world.

You're right it was Tkachuk Treliving balked at.
And what a boon keeping him turned out to be.

I would have given up Valimaki for rental Stone and I liked Valimaki. Maybe he gets us passed Dallas.

I… don’t think that was quite it from the retrospective that I’ve heard.


Buffalo chose the Vegas package over ours, and for good reason too. If Tkachuk was skiddish about his future in Calgary, why would he re-sign in Buffalo of all places? He had one year till ufa status and Vegas offered Buffalo pieces that were good and had control certainty. Tkachuk might’ve been a better price than anything Buffalo got on its own, but so what if he decides to f*** off?

My interpretation is we simple got beat.

Hard to say. We'll probably never know for sure. I heard they were both big packages and Treliving when asked by the Sabres would not include Tkachuk so they went with the one with the guy from upstate New York. But it was a while ago now and I dunno where that even came from.

All I'll say is that is the exact center you should sell the farm for if made available and you don't have one. If another comes on the market like that Conroy should consider nothing from this organization's stables untouchable.
