GDT: FLAMES (27-22-13) vs. WILD (35-21-6) \ 8 p.m. MT | TV: CBC/Sportsnet | RADIO: Sportsnet 960 The FAN

[Anglesmith]

Why is Ritchie not in the line up?

He was traded.

 

[Felidae]

He was traded.

So then why is Ritchie not in the lineup?

 

[Tofveve]

Ok that hit was to Duehr's shoulder. He got a bit lucky.

 

[Bounces R Way]

lol some beers and some bongs here for me, although I might switch over to the ufc pretty soon to see jones return

Nice. Yeah I don't have much interest in the rest of the card but I'd watch Jones get his ass kicked again for the lols

 

[JPeeper]

A Flames loss and a Preds win will move them into the bottom 11 tonight

It's happening

Was gonna say lol, 4 teams in the East all won and all passed us. Currently sitting at 12th overall with Nashville a win away from passing us (also with games in hand).

I don't know where I heard the Flames have a tough remaining schedule, but that is the opposite. We play Anaheim, San Jose, Chicago, and Arizona a combined 7 more times, the Canucks twice, all of which the Flames should win; not only are those teams bad, but they also sold assets off to make them even worse. The rest are pretty much just divisional games (Vegas, LA) and some games against the Central. Ottawa the loan East team remaining to play.

So conversely, the Flames should be able to me a run quite easily if they buckle down and play good hockey. If the Flames can't make the playoffs with this schedule we deserve to draft 16th overall.

For the Flames to have any shot at Bedard, et al. Tank Commanders Markstrom and Vladar will need to report for duty.

 

[Tofveve]

Whenever I hear the name Lewis I always think of Walter White Jr's friend by the same name. Yeah I know that's weird.

 

[JPeeper]

 

[JurassicTunga]

that's a shame

 

[Tofveve]

Sigh.

Not Marksy's fault but how can we come back from this deficit.

 

[Mobiandi]

Just got to throw it on net and it's a goal

 

[Tofveve]

Is Looch moving up the lineup again?

Just got to throw it on net and it's a goal

Pretty much.

Flames' tendency to play down to their opponents gives me some cautious hope for that stretch

That and Sutter's refusal to change anything even when it's not working

 

[lightstorm]

Unlucky on the tip, lucky with the crossbar that went right through him

 

[23Monahan]

Nice. Yeah I don't have much interest in the rest of the card but I'd watch Jones get his ass kicked again for the lols

I got 50$ on gane, just a bet with my brother lol so hoping for the same thing!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not the zoom in on the skates

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Jones is legit the GOAT. You just wasted 50$

 

[Mobiandi]

As soon as Huberdeau touches the puck on the PP, you know the other team will clear it in the next 5 seconds

 

[Tofveve]

Jones is legit the GOAT. You just wasted 50$

IMO GSP is, but it's a bit subjective

Yeah, when Sportsnet showed the stat a few games ago of our record against playoff and non-playoff teams it was a joke, our record against playoff teams is actually really good, but against non-playoff we suck.


like, we're 0-4 or 0-2-2 or something against Chicago and Montreal this season. Bruh

 

[Boomstick]

Sigh.

Not Marksy's fault but how can we come back from this deficit.

We won't. It's over.

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

IMO GSP is, but it's a bit subjective

True.

Don't get me wrong. Dude can't stay out of trouble, and I don't agree with it, but from a pure technical aspect. Noone was as dominant as he has been. He hasn't even really taken much damage over the course of his career.

His fights with Gustafson and Cormier were close, tough battles. Plus his toe almost fell off.

 

[Boomstick]

Lol this thread is now a UFC thread. Sorry I can't contribute, I don't watch.

 

[23Monahan]

Oh common Jones looked rough his last couple fights as the competition caught up and ran away with a couple razor thin decisions, and has never fought guys his own size, and hasn't fought for years. Honestly if Jones did pull it off I wouldn't be that surprised as the guy looks like a monster st heavy weight but honestly I think he's going to get caught.

 

[Bert Mckrakken]

Jones hasn't fought in years cause he cleaned out the division, and wanted to put weight on properly to move to Heavyweight.

Granted the competition has caught up to him, but I still think he is the best fighter I have ever seen. If he cut out all the distractions and took it as seriously as GSP it wouldn't even be close
