Post-Game Talk: Flames at Capitals: Ovy breaks a record PSYCHE we win in OT.

[Yarborough]

We won? Holy **** we won

 

[Anglesmith]

So... I put down 1225 vCash tonight on the three non-Flames games. Bet on the underdog on all three and won. I'm going to be vRich.

Vcash money!

 

[Anglesmith]

I think this is the vRichest I've ever vBeen.

Good to see Monahan's game rounding into shape. He is Calgary's best player imo and both he and Bennett are keys to getting this team moving in the right direction.

If he keeps up this level of play, then he'll be a good edition to Team Canada this spring heading to the WHC, along with Giordano, Brodie and Bennett.

oh, that's quite a contingent.

 

[Unkki]

So how many OT goals does Monahan have now? Pretty many I think.

The only guy that may qualify is Brodie.

Gio is playing like **** and Monahan and Bennett are not ready

I liked the way Snet said it, and it seems about right, Monahan may have his slumps time to time as a young player, but when he scores, it's big, it's clutch, it's just what the team needs. I'm sure there's examples, but I honestly don't recall Mony scoring much for "meaningless" goals, he always seems to tie the game, pull ahead, or outright win. Or at least, more often then not.

I trust Gio gets back up to a decent level. perhaps not at last year's level, but it's the WHC, he doesn't have to be at last year's level to be an effective player at that tournament. So, let's see how he's doing in March. If he's still struggling, then ya, he doesn't get the invite.

and of course Monahan and Bennett are not ready to be the go to guys on a senior men's team...not even for the WHC, I wasn't suggesting they were ready. but they can be decent complimentary players on a 25 man roster playing a specialized role surrounded by experienced elite players who will carry the mail. Again, we are talking about the WHC here.

 

[L13]

Oh, it feels so good. I was glad they were giving Ramo consecutive games regardless of performance because I thought all our goaltenders would continue to suck equally until one of them found his confidence. Let's hope Ramo has found his.

It's such a relief not to feel like I'm watching a car crash any more. Seriously, keep it up, everyone. Monahan and Hamilton are finding their groove, Bennett has been awesome for several games... I'd like to see Gaudreau and Bennett on the same line again, and hope Giordano rediscovers his magic soon, but other than that, not too shabby.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Ramo has a higher sv% than Talbot!

 

[Kahvi]

So apparently Rämö was good last night? I watched the highlights and the goals didn't seem to be those easy goals he's let in earlier in the season.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

So apparently Rämö was good last night? I watched the highlights and the goals didn't seem to be those easy goals he's let in earlier in the season.

Yeah. He was pretty good the night before too.

 

[Kahvi]

Yeah. He was pretty good the night before too.

I'd say he's been good, or at least ok, for the last 3-4 games. Except the first period against Florida. Hopefully he can continue this way.

Monahan and Bennett would qualify for team North America, along with Gaudreau and Hamilton I think. Would love to see all four be on the team

 

[Volica]

Gaudreau will be on the US team. He's a top US player in the entire world.

 

[Dack]

Gaudreau will be on the US team. He's a top US player in the entire world.

As stupid as it is I'm pretty sure that the U23 team gets dirty dibs on players that are U23

 

[Volica]

I think you're right, which is beyond stupid

Gaudreau would be a guarantee top 6 forward for the US, and instead will play on the baby squad. On a different note, him and Monny will likely be paired together.

 

[Lunatik]

It's not stupid at all if they want the youngsters team to be able to compete with Canada and the US

tbh i'd love to see McDavid centering Gaudreau

 

[Calculon]

 

[DFF]

LOL...he has 15 yrs to score that 1 goal to catch Iggy

 

[Lunatik]

the difference 4 on 4/3 on 3 and the loser point makes

 

[Anglesmith]

4-on-4 was brought in for the 1995 season, IIRC. So, realistically, all of those guys had 4-on-4 overtimes for most if not all of their careers.
