wat?

 

[Felidae]

Backlund with an uncharacteristic giveaway there.

 

[Tofveve]

This is a barn-burner. Not the boring Stars hockey of not too long ago.

 

[super6646]

Les sigh

 

[Bounces R Way]

hideous goal

Markstrom hasn't looked as good since he had that maintenance day or whatever it was. Wonder if he's battling something.

 

[super6646]

The lack of high end talent for this team is showing. Zary doesn't look 100% either.

Flames went from 2 stars to no stars when Johnny and Tkachuk left.

Can't win a Cup without star players.

 

[Mobiandi]

This team has fine depth. But I can’t remember the last multi-goal game a player of ours has had. Can’t have happened more than once or twice this season

 

[Boomstick]

Thanks for the reminder, Francis. Only time he pumped Johnny's tires was when he's long gone.

 

[Boomstick]

Yay! Tie game.

Nice finish Sharangovich.

 

[Felidae]

Damn that was some pretty passing on that goal

 

[super6646]

That was a very nice play.

 

[Tofveve]

Sharangovich, nice- great passing play

What's everyone eating tonight? I started the conversation the other night lol.

They're basically all depth. Greer has the same number of goals as Kadri.

Agreed. The depth is very good actually, but Huberdeau absolutely busting for this team is a disaster.

 

[Boomstick]

And that was short lived. Wish we had some offensively gifted players like Dallas does.

 

[super6646]

3 on 13.

Nice shot, but from well out. Markstrom isn't a difference maker.

 

[Tofveve]

Back and forth goals.

Honestly not that strong on Marks part.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Flames need to find a Wyatt Johnston in this next draft.

Made some tortellini with bacon and italian sausage with rose sauce and pesto.
It was really good

Agreed. The depth is very good actually, but Huberdeau absolutely busting for this team is a disaster.

Huberdeau has stunk definitely but it's not his fault this team continues to try to build around wingers. By far the least impactful position. Gaudreau carrying our sorry ass offense for years made them think it was still a good idea.

 

[DFF]

Flames needs Hasek just to make the playoffs.

Markstrom ain’t it. No reason to keep him if someone wants him

 

[Boomstick]

Pavelski always scores against us. He's the new Mike Ribeiro who also used to always score against us.

Flames have 13 guys between 3-5 goals (pretty much everyone on the team outside of Backlund, 4th liners and the defensive d-men). Extrapolated to a full season and pretty much our entire team would be 16-20 goal guys, which is good for depth I guess. Not having a few star players to get 30-40 goals a year means the team relies on all 4 lines rolling or we don't win.

Stark contrast when Gaudreau or Tkachuk could put the team on their back and pick up 4 points a night every week or so.

 

[Tofveve]

Welp that ain't good
