Haven’t watched a ton of Bedard this year outside of highlights because Chicago is just abysmal so I’m looking forward to this one

 

[Mobiandi]

Can't believe Huberdeau-Sharangovich-Kuz is still intact. Coronato 4th line. Ugly

 

[Tofveve]

I'll be cheering in spirit from work, just heading out.

Hoping for a couple of goals out of a couple of our goal leaders.

I wish they'd keep going with Wolf though. Maybe they'll be alternating games, who knows. *edit - maybe Wolfie is better used in the minors at the moment, probably.

Go Flames!

 

[FLAMESFAN]

I thought T Hall was back for the Hawks?

 

[flames23]

Hawks like many bottom feeders play us tough. 3-2 somebody.
Both Connors score.

 

[Boomstick]

Greetings and salutations.

If we win this game, I hope JM25 gets himself a shutout.

 

[Felidae]

Nice save by Markstrom

 

[FLAMESFAN]

PK all game. Good Tank strategy

 

[Bounces R Way]

cool cool cool

Great start

 

[Boomstick]

Guess I said the word shutout a little too early.

 

[joescores]

In Huberdeau , we have the right tank commander in charge. The guy is unbelievably overpaid and has incredible amount of giveaways per game. Sure he creates an odd chance that will result in a goal but the amount of lost pucks... Christ!

 

[JPeeper]

Flames and bottom feeders, lol

 

[Boomstick]

Summer is going to be interesting. Can't see many of our vets wanting to stick around.
We'll see I guess. 2-0 Plenty of time left. Have no idea why Chicago is our kryptonite.

 

[joescores]

Nice pinch by Andersson. Has hit his ceiling long time ago. Time to move on.

 

[Boomstick]

Only positive thing is I hope this is the same direction the Leafs will be heading in when Treliving gets done with them.

 

[herashak]

This team stinks, move markstrom + Coleman to NJ and truly give up

Extremely overrated GM.

Sharan to the ref "f***er, I lost 10 teeth, was 10 feet away". Ref "Nah, you are good bud, was a good play".... Our season with refs...

 

[Bounces R Way]

we f***ing suck lmao

 

[joescores]

Coleman is checked out but so is Backlund. Plus Backlund is checked out physically. Once we move away from him (next TDL), Coleman should be the next Captain.

we f***ing suck lmao

And I woke up for this shite

 

[JPeeper]

Flames aren't moving Backlund next season.

 

[Boomstick]

Anyone over 28 years old looks like they've checked out.
I don't blame them honestly, but Conroy had no choice but to gut the team. Can't sign the guys who didn't want to be here.
We're going to need to have a lot of patience in the next couple of seasons.

Veterans are definitely checked out, Backlund, Coleman, Weegar, and Andersson have all had night and day differences since we shipped out our FAs. Can’t say I blame them, you’re battling and making up ground in the playoff race when you get the rug pulled out from under you. Can’t imagine this lasts longer than this season though. Conroy has already talked about adding players in free agency, and players have too much pride to go into a season not chasing playoffs again. Don’t think we have to worry about players trying to bolt unless we truly blow it up. Doesn’t sound like that’s the plan at all though.

 

[Deen]

Can someone explain the conditions on the Monahan trade? Is there a sweet spot where we can suck and not hand it over?

Depends, one of our firsts next year is gone no matter what* (we still technically have two, ours and Florida's from the Tkachuk trade), but what is the most likely scenario is either:

1) Flames are a bottom 10 team, we send them the Florida pick.

2) Flames finish outside the bottom 10 (aka 11-32), we send Montreal our pick and keep Florida's.


*However, if Florida falls off a cliff and is in the lottery next year then things get wack and we could send them ours even if it is is also a top 10 pick.
