[Ace Rimmer]

Well that wasn't great.

 

[TheHudlinator]

f*** chucky

 

[CamPopplestone]

Not wanting to be all doom and gloom. But we need to close this out and win at this point. I think if we lose game one at home after being up 6-2, that we don't win this series. We need to hold on and win this

 

[BRobMint]

Chucky has finally awoken. Good

Just as I say this he takes a dumb penalty lol

 

[Straight Fire]

You have to be freaking kidding me

 

[Boomstick]

Calling a Dube shorty!!!

 

[JurassicTunga]

oh Chucky...

Flames just love keeping us on our toes, don't they. goodness.

 

[super6646]

Oh dear god.

A 2 goal lead against Dallas was as safe as Mount Everest. A 2 goal lead in this game seems easier than a cheap hooker right now ffs

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Someone needs to post a gif of that

I would like this very much.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Shamelessly stolen

 

[TheHudlinator]

Calling a Dube shorty!!!

I'm going to need a dube to deal with this game

 

[DFF]

Just as I say this he takes a dumb penalty lol

Shut up lol

 

[Straight Fire]

Hey remember before the game we said a key to us winning was staying out of the penalty box? Yeah.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I'm going to need a dube to deal with this game

Way ahead of you

 

[Bounces R Way]

I love Mikael Backlund

 

[TheHudlinator]

Koskinen is lucky that wasn't lucic coming down on him

 

[super6646]

I love Mikael Backlund

Guy has been amazing in the playoffs

 

[BRobMint]

 

[RasmusAndersson]

This is INSANE lol.

We are absolutely dominant tho and its not even like we're playing a run and gun game, just some awful d zone coverage and goaltending. Fix that and we're by far the better team. Now we just have to relax and hold on

 

[Some Other Flame]

 

[super6646]

So about that

Better than hanifin giving up a 2 on 0 against Mc drai

Seriously sometimes it truly is wtf with him. Andy has been doing the heavy lifting so far.

 

[TheHudlinator]

What a good guy offering to help out a rival

 

[flames23]

We are dominating and are beating ourselves. I'm leaving the vezina nominated guy in to figure it out over putting in a backup and expecting him to make 0 mistakes

Yep I totally understand your position. Sutter shares it. There's also the psychological aspect. Maybe Sutter feels letting him stay in to figure shit out live is better than making him overthink it for 2 days. I just feel like Vladar is a solid option when the team needs a wakeup. Maybe going in cold to a third period of a 6-5 game isn't the best time to do it. I remember throwing Rittich in game 6 vs Dallas and he couldn't stop a beach ball either.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I could see him yelling "you poor bastard" over and over in the penalty boxes.
