GDT: Wild @ Flames, Old Folks Version. 7:00PM on SNET-W and The Fan 960

[TheHudlinator]

We're now 1/4 through the season. Don't like the way this is starting to look. Only reason we're even remotely close is because of the loser points.

We have 9 points in our last 8 games if we keep that pace up we get 52 points at the end of the season it is the same pace as 92 point season I don't see why we should be worried.

 

[Gritty]

Can't say enough good things about Feaster's summer acquisitions! Wideman and Hudler look fantastic game in - game out! Brodie is solidifying himself as a legit top-4 D!

Trying to be positive.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Why the **** was Jones a shooter?

The $64,000 question.

 

[StreakingRed]

Hudler and Brodie continue to impress.

Shootouts are now guaranteed loses for this team. Couldn't win one to save their lives.

 

[tmurfin]

Meh, that was clear Veterans abusing a young goalie in that shootout. That's another game we really should have won. However, points are precious this season, I'm not very disappointed.

Quick hitter. I don't like this Flames lineup at all to be perfectly honest.
This team went from one of the deepest three lines in the NHL, to one of the most fringe NHL lineups in the league.
Cammy will help when he gets back, but Sven and Backlund are huge hits on this team. It really sucks.

If a by the Kings game, this ship hasn't been quite righted... I think it's finally time we start pulling it apart.

Best Flames tonight:
Irving, Wideman/Brodie & The Czechs (5 I guess =o))

Worst three Flames tonight:
Jarome, Stajan & Comeau

Currently, I don't see how Blake scored so many goals just two years ago, his hands look like they've been frozen in carbonite.

Stajan?? He was great tonight.. A hound on the puck and had a great blocked shot on the first period.

I can see why you would dislike the guy, but c'mon, give credit where it's due. He's been great this year.

Haha great name change

but yea, these overtime losses are gona bite us in the ass. I really hope Cammy is back for wednesday and hopefully he finds his game.

There's reason to stay positive, but have to start flat out winning when you outperform someone.
That's what? 5-8 points we've given away this year, when completely outplaying an opponent.

Don't you mean "still guaranteed losses"?

 

[Volica]

Stajan?? He wa great tonight.. A hound on the puck and had a great blocked shot on the first period.

He's like Tanguay Jr out there. It's like he's afraid of the puck. I counted 4 times entering the zone with either a sloppy pass or forced pass for the counter.

I notice these things, because he's a waste of Cap and I don't like him lol.

 

[BrodieGoat]

next shoot out

Hudler, Brodie, Tanguay

Healthy

Hudler Backlund Tanguay

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Holy smokes, that was uploaded fast

 

[tmurfin]

Man he made that look easy..



And **** we need Cammy and Sven back ASAP..

 

[Volica]

next shoot out

Hudler, Brodie, Tanguay

Healthy

Hudler Backlund Tanguay

Cervenka. Have to let him try a few more.
He probably has the best hands on the team.

His good this season has by far outweighed his bad.. I think you need to take the hater goggles off for a game or two and notice the good things he does

 

[Sean Monahan]

Hartley certainly likes Stajan. He gets a lot of icetime and he's earned it

 

[MuffinMerc]

He also wins us faceoffs, which is why I like him.

 

[Volica]

Winning a few faceoffs, playing some defense and playing the penalty kill, for 3.5 million. I see it pretty clear. 5 points in 10 games; give me a Stajan moment where it was him clearly that sets the play up for the two Czechs to score.

I'll be waiting.

What he does, is what you pay players like Begin for.

 

[Northern Neighbour]

Another year, and another year painlessly watching this team lose in the shootout.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Don't bother arguing with Miokid about Stajan, he could be a ppg and yet be a waste of cap space.

The team in general played good just couldn't bury their chanes.

3 games ago when he had 2 assists in 1 game he past out from behind the net to Hudler who scored, or the same game where he passed across the ice to Cervenka creating a 2-1 that lead to a goal.

 

[Svenner]

Cervenka played a huge chunk of the game at center. Looks like Hartley feels hes ready to make that transition. I would like a line-up like:

Hudler-Cervenka-Iginla
Tanguay-Stajan-Cammalleri
Glencross-Street-Stempniak

Thats not a bad top 9 for an injury riddled team like us. This is of course assuming Cammy is good to go for wednesday. I didn't really like him RW last time but we simply have too many left wings.

 

[MuffinMerc]

I'll repeat something that Mike Babcock said when the Flames played the Wings: "We had lots of play around their net, but not at their net if that makes any sense."

It could have been me being zoned out, which does happen, while watching but there weren't very many quality rebounds given. Just lots of one timers and slappers that missed the net. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Problem is he only took 6 faceoffs and only won 2, I would rather try

Tanguay - Stajan - Iginla
Hudler - Cervenka - Cammy (cammy can also play center if needed)
Glencross - Street - Stempniak

LoL, I'm not that close minded my "All is good in Calgary, everything Calgary does is good" friend.
If Stajan was a PPG player I'd be wearing a number 18 jersey. I'd be happy:
Calgary gave away a top tier Dman, that could have returned probably Giroux at the time; for: A waiver sale, a UFA, a trade for the geat Babs and a fringe NHL third liner That was resigned to 1st/2nd line money.
He's a constant reminder of how much of a Mickey Mouse organization Calgary's been the past decade. I think it contributes to the fact why I dislike him LOL.
