GDT: Flames at Oilers: Stoppable force vs. movable object. 7pm MT on SNW

[InfinityIggy]

I hate how fast McDavid is.

So does his girlfriend.

 

[Calgareee]

Money loves to go low blocker? Huh?? His shot has always been high glove....

 

[Mobiandi]

Monahan's troubles can all be traced back to that game in Minny where he missed three huge chances in OT. He's been terrible since

 

[Skobel24]

Flames didn't deserve the win. Got a point at least, but they need to get their shit together after the allstar break. Can't keep getting hot streaks and then go cold.

 

[Tofveve]

Gross.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Can't score on the powerplay against a team with a 50% PK. I mean just defer to the players on the PP and let them draw something up it's clearly NOT working.

Or fire them and bring in Josh McDaniels once the Super Bowl is over.

 

[tmurfin]

"Of course Edmontons beats a backup goalie!!!!!!" .

Flames are f***in weak right now. Throw a f***in stick or something Gully, wake this team up.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

This team needs another offensive weapon or we will forever be playoff fodder for the real contenders.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Actually wrong. Money went low blocker throughout his entire rookie season. Was absolutely golden. Changed his approached and hasn't been nearly as effective since

 

[Sparky93]

He was once good at shootouts.

The real question is why Ferland

 

[seatsy]

Monahan with as many hard strides as hits tonight. Zero

 

[DCDM]

Lmao who do we eve have that's good at shootouts? Tkachuk and who else?

 

[DFF]

Unless Monahan steps it up, he will always be in the second tiered of center.

I guess that's good but not good enough to lead this team to the playoff

 

[Fig]

So many kind words to the refs by Kassian and CMD tonight.

And the PIMs lol. Wow

 

[Dack]

Lmao who do we eve have that's good at shootouts? Tkachuk and who else?

Honestly it's a shootout we know Gaudreau, Ferland, Monahan and Backlund all suck at them so just use someone random Hamilton or something.

 

[Volica]

Team needs a huge amount of help up front.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

This team needs another offensive weapon or we will forever be playoff fodder for the real contenders.

In fairness, Jagr, Frolik, and Versteeg are all out right now. Healthy, all three of those guys are huge offensive pieces for us (Frolik less so, but still an upgrade on Troy B)

 

[Mobiandi]

Lmao who do we eve have that's good at shootouts? Tkachuk and who else?

Gaudreau once upon a time. Versteeg too

 

[tmurfin]

The only dude out there who doesn't deserve to get shit on is Chucky. Backlund somewhat redeemed himself at the end of the game, but for 90% of it he was HOT garbage, he literally gave the puck up 3(!!) times in a row, ON THE POWERPLAY.


How does our powerplay always shit the bed when we need it most.

 

[Mobiandi]

Remember when we had Hudler? Dude gave no f***s and would score slapshots in the SO

 

[DFF]

huh...since when Jagr was a hugh offensive piece for us?

Versteeg was horrible before he got injured

 

[Anglesmith]

If I was the coach of this team right now, my practice would consist of PP work and breakaways. These are supposed to be the times you tilt the odds of scoring in your favour, but we waste so many of these every game. It is very bizarre with Gaudreau especially. Reminds me a lot of Byron in that I think it's just in his head right now, as opposed to just being part of who he is as a player. Hopefully it doesn't take that long, but I bet he works hard on it over the summer and comes in with his confidence back next season.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Loser points! Wooooo

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

The only dude out there who doesn't deserve to get **** on is Chucky. Backlund somewhat redeemed himself at the end of the game, but for 90% of it he was HOT garbage, he literally gave the puck up 3(!!) times in a row, ON THE POWERPLAY.


How does our powerplay always **** the bed when we need it most.

Get Bennett, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Hamilton, and Ferland out there as PP1. I'd be stunned if that group didn't score.

 

[Anglesmith]

Loser points! Wooooo

I mean, it does look like we're going to pick up a point on San Jose tonight.

Take the ASG to regroup and come back with some confidence hopefully.

You trust this team after a break?
