GDT: Flames @ Islanders (5pm on Sportsnet)

[JPeeper]

Smith with a huge stinker against. Close the legs man.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wow.... Terrible effort all around.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Goal against on NYI's first shot against. f***, are we the Oilers now?

 

[Bounces R Way]

 

[Mobiandi]

What the f*** was that Smith?

I'd also be lying if I said I'd heard of half of the Isles players

 

[MDCSL]

That’s a pretty questionable penalty, he barely touched him

 

[Mr Snrub]

Take a shot every time they show Travis Hamonic onscreen for no discernible reason

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Barzal is so good haha.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

That was a weak call tbh.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Pretty aggressive PK, I like that Gerrard will actually switch up things that don't work.

 

[Mr Snrub]

That was a weak call tbh.

So was the call on Frolik, refs are probably just trying to send a message early on that they're gonna call it pretty tight

 

[JGaudreau]

Well, I hope they lose this badly and hire Darryl Sutter. I can't stand Gulutzan hockey; predictable, uninspired, rarely prepared, can't take the momentum back. He'd put Brodie back on the right side in 2 minutes. The lack of confidence and their overall instability is palpable at this point, it's like a house of damn cards waiting to tumble every game. I'm not even surprised when we make stupid mistakes anymore.

I don’t plan on dying from alcohol poisoning before the first period ends

Pretty aggressive PK, I like that Gerrard will actually switch up things that don't work.

I know I'm piling on him but the PK is and will be better without Brouwer he's too slow to actually apply any pressure to anyone.

 

[Mr Snrub]

When the Flames have the PP I open another tab and look up players I don't know on EliteProspects because I know nothing will happen

I went and made myself a sandwich

 

[Mr Snrub]

Hahaha, Hamonic "sorry buddy"

What a good dude

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Nice.

 

[Mobiandi]

Mike Stone takes so many penalties

 

[Mr Snrub]

Mike Stone takes so many penalties

We could get a guy who does what Mike Stone does for 650k.

 

[Mobiandi]

Stajan's been really good lately

 

[Jags68]

Mike Stone takes so many penalties

Bennett syndrome?

 

[JPeeper]

Mike Stone takes so many penalties

Because he sucks. He plays the Bartkowski school of defence where you don't actually defend, you just play physical and hope the other player gets taken down to goes away. He isn't as bad as Bartkowski obviously, no one is, but he is massively overrated by some Flames fans.

Really hope we trade him in the offseason and just graduate Andersson already. Yeah sure depth is good, but I guarantee Andersson in a full season would be better than Stone.

Unpopular opinion but I’d deal Stone this summer and I’d play Andersson with Gio next year (same kind of Mete/Weber, Chara/Mcavoy mentorship deal). Then Brodie/Hamilton and Kulak/Hamonic. Third pairing becomes much less of a liability and you can spread icetime out more evenly

 

[JGaudreau]

They're playing like a team full of passengers. Johnny excluded. Why is the smallest guy on our team our only impact player? It's kind of pathetic.
