Sunday night against the Oilers was a big game and a big win. Always tough to come out swinging hard in the next game.

Yep, that's the challenge. Have to avoid a malaise, because it'll be hard to pull out of it when it comes.

Enjoy being a top tier team while we can. We might have days of this, DAYS!

Boomstick · 2024-10-15T13:33:08-0400

I'm on board. Let's go Flames.

The Gnome · 2024-10-15T14:05:02-0400

I mostly lurk HF these days, but this is the most fun I've had as a fan in over a decade. Been waiting so long for management to pull the plug and do a proper rebuild. Watching them go 3-0 to start and turfing the Oilers is just gravy at this point.

Like everyone else, I'm sure the young team energy surge will normalize and the winning will dry up, but what a time to be alive. Go Flames!

Volica · 2024-10-15T14:42:34-0400

I like how many young guys are being big parts of this roster.
Would love to see us start the season 4-0, just to keep the fun rolling. I think everyone's aware that we'll eventually hit a wall, but let's have a bunch of fun while it lasts. Love this team so far, just a bunch of guys who want to be here, playing good team hockey. Our stars finally look like who we ponied up for, Huby reaching 5 points in 3 games is so damn cool, more points than he had the entirety of October last year.

Pospisil, Zary, Bean, Bahl and Wolfie all being important pieces is nice.

Would love for Honzo to get his first tonight.

Rubi · 2024-10-15T14:44:07-0400

No lineup changes tonight. Wolf is in net. I'm hoping Honzek gets a pt or two tonight. Coronato needs to start producing.

Bean is in for Barrie, that would be a lineup change

Zary really reminds me of a modestly more skilled Sean Monahan. Funny enough, his rookie season matches up pretty similarly to Monahan's; furthermore, Zary has also shown an extra step in his second NHL season much like Monahan did.

Eh, Zary is much more cerebral and more of a play driver than Monahan ever was

herashak · 2024-10-15T15:11:04-0400

Zary is closer to Horvat than Monahan, that’s been my upside comp for some time

Lunatik · 2024-10-15T15:42:30-0400

I swear I need to get loaded before reading this board sometimes... claiming Zary is more skilled and cerebral than Monahan? A multiple time 30-goal scorer than always knew where to go... f***ing christ the relentless number of terrible takes here is overwhelming sometimes.

Rubi · 2024-10-15T16:14:20-0400

Zary has a long way to go before I would consider him to be equal or superior to Monahan in his prime. I like Zary but he's still in the infancy of his career and still has a lot to prove, IMO.

Ah.. you're right. I'd forgotten he played last night.
Which I guess is understandable given his forgettable impact on last night's game.

What does Monahan being a multiple 30-goal scorer have to do with comparing skill between those two players besides saying "well he accomplished x stat that the other player hasn't so duh obviously he is more skilled what a crappy take!" An incredibly simplistic view of looking at things; one because counting stats don't necessarily conflate with skill, and two because Zary has yet to have the time in the league to produce those counting stats. And it's no slam on Monahan, he has some damn fine hands (see the game against Ottawa in 2017 when he scored behind the legs), but Monahan could never make a play like Zary did in OT against the Canucks.

Some Other Flame · 2024-10-15T18:04:59-0400

Monahan still hilariously overrated. Some things never change

Ace Rimmer · 2024-10-15T18:50:58-0400

To quote the delightful Andrei Alexandrovich Kuzmenko:

Go to ploffs, let's go!

Lunatik · 2024-10-15T19:16:05-0400

Columbus did the Johnny tribute right.... but seeing Mony holding Johnny Jr as they raised a memorial banner was too much for me

Bounces R Way · 2024-10-15T19:21:26-0400

God damn that tribute Columbus did for Johnny had me tearing up again. Nice job from them.

Really liking how big and fast the forwards are looking this year. Two things that always struck me as a roster deficiency during a lot of Treliving's tenure. Also a total lack of an outside threat to score, which I think has also been remedied nicely.

Could see a high scoring sloppy affair. Seen a lot of Bedard already but his 1st time on Saddledome ice in the NHL.

That's a very weird comparison because they don't really play the same at all. Monahan was big but rarely used his size to shield the puck, was a mediocre puck carrier and would find soft spots in coverage so he could shoot because of his ability to elevate quickly from in tight. Zary hangs on to pucks much better and skates into open ice to try and make plays. Monahan was always looking to score and would try to make the right play if it wasn't there while Zary is much more of a creator who wants to hold onto the puck and make things happen.

Bounces R Way · 2024-10-15T19:47:55-0400

Imagine we finally get our new PBP guy tonight?
Is he with Hrudey or Millen? Cassie seems like she's on all the US Networks now.

Ace Rimmer · 2024-10-15T20:38:50-0400

No Cassie?

Shame.
