Wow. I we did the exact same thing as we did in Dallas with the lead. Play prevent defense and let them take it to us. I do not understand this. You play the 3rd period like you did the first, you hold them to limited shots and make it easy on yourself. Man, way to go Wolf, played amazing as usual.
Put it in the win column.

 

[Boomstick]

I guess I forgot about the road trip, guys must have been exhausted. But we need to be better when we have a lead. So happy for a big win.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Both teams showing why they shouldn't be in the play-offs tonight. This game might put offense back 80 years.

6 points back of your Oilers

 

[Zirakzigil]

Just give Wolf the damn Calder trophy already.

 

[JurassicTunga]

This Wolf kid is something else, my goodness.

Not a bad effort overall considering the schedule the Flames have gone through lately, and the first game back home after such a road trip is really tough.
That's a huge two points.

Team just came off a brutal road trip. This would of been an easy game to not be skating and have a let down. Team played strong. Fatigue is a legitimate factor.

 

[Anglesmith]

Love that Montreal got to watch Wolf up close and for him to have a game like this.

 

[Darth Vladar]

Ahead of the Cansucks again by a point, though they have a game in hand, and don’t play tonight. The Blues can pull ahead of us with a dub vs. the Kings, since they have more wins, but they also have two games in hand. LA currently leads in that game 1-0, still early.

 

[Volica]

Likely won’t catch the Kings, but this has been more fun than I anticipated this year. Great race we find ourselves in.

The cost Conroy paid for F&F out of Philly compared to what the cost was yesterday was a masterclass in a lot of ways.

 

[Bounces R Way]

love beating the Habs

Thought the team played well. Habs are going to be stuck in the mud forever if they don't find a center better than Suzuki.
Should maybe put literal cancer on the Backlund-Coleman line and see if they can fix that.
Zary and Coronato need to get hot if we're going to make the playoffs. Don't really have any faith in anybody else doing it. Bean and Rooney out Klapka and Solo in would be my lineup next game. Canucks on Wednesday should be a good litmus test for the rest of the season.

No et le but for the visiting team please and thanks.

Dusty Wolfman gotchu homie

 

[Bounces R Way]

Love that Montreal got to watch Wolf up close and for him to have a game like this.

inb4 some Montreal writer leaves him entirely off his Calder ballot and he finishes 2nd

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Guys?

Even in Mexico, Bean is not good.

El frijol no es bueno.

 

[Lunatik]

Had company so I couldn't chat and missed part of teh 3rd, but saw he Farbee goal.

@Zirakzigil regarding Backlund looking better, Eric Francis has stated more than once that Backlund was nursing an injury before the break and has confirmed the time off helped him get healthy

Yeah, that seemed very obvious to me. The fact hes the only center who can win a draw on the PK makes it even worse.

 

[Mobiandi]

A necessary break now. Then a 4-pointer against the Nucks.

 

[flames23]

Superb Wolfie. The day after I changed my pfp to him. Coincidence? I think not. Flames23 is Flames32 in spirit. Lol.

My name is originally in honour of the great Clarke Wilm of course. Beauty handlebar.

 

[Rubi]

A little video collage of Wolf saves in this game...

 

[Straight Fire]

Way to go Flames, way to go Wolf! Woo-hoo! Glass looking more full than not again!

 

[BRobMint]

Yeah, Wolf is too good for this team to bottom out. I don't blame Craig for not selling at the deadline lol

 

[joescores]

Farabee’s been soooo good the last 3 games

That is correct and he should get some PP time over Backlund or Sharangovich.

 

[joescores]

Fkn Roondog thought he did something there lol

Travesty that he is still in the lineup, just get rid off him.

 

[VladDrag]

I've been following the two former flyers since the trade, periodically watching them when I can. He's struggled the last calendar year, and it's nice to see him get a few. He's got a decent skillset, and can score, particularly at ES. Hopefully he'll continue for the Flames.

I didn't get to watch this game specifically, but I watched the extended highlights. Frost appeared in it quite a bit - showing up with decent passing on the PP and at ES. Given his playmaking abilities, I think he would look good next to Huberdeau or Coronato.

Just curious what this board thinks about Backlund. I recognize he's been with the org for 10-15 years, and is the current captain... But what I've personally seen from him; he seems like he's taken a step or two backwards. My outside perspective is they are playing him at 5v5 too much.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Love that we're still in this, but man I need some playoff hockey!
All I know is that the next game basically is a WC spot.
Lets Go Boys!

Chips and gravy! In all my years I have never had poutine.
