GDT: [Apr 30] Rd 2, Gm 1: Flames @ Ducks 8:00pm MT (Sportsnet)

[Pirate King Luffy]

I say we play Ortio I know that we shouldn't force a rookie goaltender right into the playoffs but both our goalies haven't played well the past couple games.

Punch to the face of Hiller. Same thing happened to him last season.

 

[tmurfin]

This series is as good as over if Hudler is out

Why do you say that? He was basically "out" for 4 1/2 games last series and we didn't do too bad seriously though, big loss, but others can step up just like last series.. Let's just hope neither him or Ferland are seriously hurt

 

[Lunatik]

This series is as good as over if Hudler is out

why? he only showed up for 2 games in the first round.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Still 25 minutes left. We can score 5. Everything is fine.

 

[Flaming Satan]

So Jooris missed a breakaway, we messed up a true 2-on-1 and a 2-on-1 down-low where Stajan put the pass in a bad place for Jones, and Backlund got hooked blatantly on a breakaway. Meanwhile, I can remember exactly one Ducks chance that they didn't bury.

This is the Honda Center curse, folks.

I swear to god it's that God-awful mascot that they have.

Time to call in the big bad wolf

Huh? Ramos barely played. Ortio won't see action unless someone gets injured.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

The Ducks are a better a team than the Canucks. I'm still optimistic though.

Yeah, when they get to double digits then I'll be concurned.

 

[Mobiandi]

Yeah and our playoff push was over when Gio got hurt. Never say die.

Our first line has done most of the offensive damage this season, and Hudler's been the heart of all that, making it happen after we lost Gio. If we lose him too, the hole will be too big for someone else to fill. We're almost devoid of any scoring talent on the right wing, and there's no one good enough to replace him

 

[Tofveve]

Playing hockey is hard.

I'm optimistic we'll get one haha

 

[Mobiandi]

Nice one Shore

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Are you Shore you wanna do that?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

No goal, surprise, surprise.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I'm not Shore we are going to win this game.

 

[Mobiandi]

Three hours ago, here I was, thinking I'd go to sleep after the game feeling anything but sad

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I could Shore use a chocolate milk right now.

 

[Calculon]

Bennett looks a little lost. Might want to rethink burning off a year of his contract.

At least Shore went to the net there. :/

Anderson with the easiest shutout of the playoffs. No way the Flames even score a single goal on him. Or ever again at the Honda Centre.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Someone might get offended or upset but were in trouble if Engelland is still our number 4.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Just score a goal plz.

 

[Lunatik]

The Ducks are a better a team than the Canucks. I'm still optimistic though.

I'm optimistic we win 1 game in the series.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I'm optimistic we win 1 game in the series.

Never quit!

 

[tmurfin]

Meh.. Letting the goalie off easy, once again.

I don't disagree with how important Huds is to us, I mean we are huge underdogs regardless, but everyone in the Media and most Flames fans thought we were done without Gio. We got through the first round without Huds being a dominant factor except for game 6. I just feel this team is very resilient. Yeah we have our backs against the wall, but i'm not counting us out.
