GDT: HNIC - Flames vs. Sens

[Wheels of Poirier]

Well this got ugly fast.

In other news, there's a Flames game tonight.

I'll say 4-2 Flames, Sven 2x, Hudler and Money puts in the EN for the vMoney.

Haha, its all your fault

I'll go with the same score; Sven, Jones, Gio and vMonahan

Just saw this:

Darren Haynes ‏@DarrenWHaynes 2h2 hours ago
Oilers defencemen have a combined 6 goals and 14 assists for 20 points. Those are the exact same totals as #Flames defenceman Mark Giordano.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I got a bad feeling about this. Watch Anderson have a 50 save shutout while the Sens get 16 shots on net and win.

Just a quick question for you guys, have the Flames played Engelland at forward at all this year? I know the contract is a bit of a point of contention, but he might actually be a better forward than defenseman, he scored 6 goals last year on the Pens' horrendous 4th line.

He's been on the bottom pairing D.

Thing is, without him we have virtually no physicality from the back end. Haven't had a hard hitting D since Regehr and Phaneuf

 

[Taranis]

Not sure he would fit into our bottom forward line anyway.

Sarich was Engelland back when Sarich was good.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Glad to hear he's doing well for you guys, he's been a favorite of mine since he was with Wilkes-Barre.

He's another guy who was a victim of Bylsma's bizarre ideas, along with Bortuzzo and Despres. Instructed not to fight, benched for sticking up for teammates, etc.

 

[King In The North]

Sarich was Engelland back when Sarich was good.

Oh yeah forgot about Sarich.

He and Smid have been doing well in their roles. Aren't expected to shut down the top lines but disrupt bottom 6 forchecks and clear the crease, be the secondary penalty killers, etc.

I'm probably in the minority, but I haven't liked his game too much. Not specifically him, but the Smid-Engelland pairing in general. Seems like they constantly end up hemmed in their own zone and hopelessly chasing the puck around. I think the issue is that they basically play the same game. Both hard-hitting, stay at home guys, but inefficient puck-movers. I'd really like to see a more offensive-minded bottom-pairing guy brought in and tried with one of the other. They've both got pretty rotten advanced stats too.

 

[Deen]

Kinda off topic, but does anyone know of any outdoor rinks open in the S.E. yet?

They certainly are our third-best pairing. But it seems to be for the best to have a top-4 and a bottom pairing rather than a top-pairing and two secondary pairings. The former strategy has given us better results by far.

This is ME rn

 

[Yung Rotini]

Best derailed GDT since #MONABAE imo

 

[Steven]

Not sure if I should take full credit for this or apologize to Money Baer for derailing his first GDT

 

[Master Bill]

Hope we destroy the Sens so I can rub it in all my friends' faces.

Hey now, don't do that!

Instead rub it in his face from ALL of us on here.

Hahaha, definitely an epic GDT for one's first, either way. Hope it brings us luck tonight.

 

[Master Bill]

Hahaha yes sir! This place is swarmed with Habs, Leafs, and Sens fans so it'd be good to get two of those groups already.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Going to the game. Grew up a Sens and Flames fan but then last year at the Flames vs Sens game I realized I only wanted the Flames to do good, and wearing a Sens jersey seemed wrong. I am now strictly a Flames fan and for the first time in the last 8 or so Sens vs Flames games I will be attending in a Flames jersey.

 

[GAMO1992]

Wait, it's an 8PM START? Danggit...I don't even get to see the opening...stupid night shift
Go Flames Go! and all that. I hope the JO-BA-BY line does well.

Seriously, what's your problem!!

Glad I could make it back in time for the game! I'm going with a 5 -2 Flames win!
