Around the Dome v3.0 - Flames news & notes

[Flames Fanatic]

That's pretty awesome! However they totally missed the opportunity to add this at the end

Ran into this guy last night at one point I'm pretty sure. Wasn't positive enough to say anything.

I notice he's on TV a lot more now after a goal or win. His wife (?) usually has a different jersey too.

Saw him on tv too. Same spot. Probably shares seasons tickets.

But nobody compares to the lady behind the flames bench. That lady... she’s been there for past 15 years I think

Lol, I used to work with her. I remember walking into her and just being like “HEY! YOURE THE FLAMES LADY!”

Her husband must have a good job, she mentioned the 04 playoff tickets ran them about $30k

Dang.... yeah I’m sure those seats aren’t cheap reg. Season either.

I've never sat near there but I have to think the view from those seats is terrible. Being blocked continuously by the coaches. Not a great view of either end of the ice, angle wise. Glass distorting your view at both ends.

Anyone know if there’s an easy way to check a teams record when an x player is injured?

Easiest I know of is make note of the time period(s) they were injured, then go to NHL.com and compile team stats for that time period.

I sat around there for a game against Tampa (back in the Brent Sutter and MSL-Stamkos days) and I did not enjoy it for the reasons you state.

The "Comeback Player of the Year" award should be re-named the Gary Roberts Award for being Too Much Man.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Honestly I feel like all the names from our team on that list are worthy of winning. Gio should win the Norris hands down, and I feel like Peters and Treliving should their respective awards as well.

Question though, why is Monahan more worthy than Lindholm of the Byng?

Peters I wouldn't mind seeing win, but I could see Trotz with the Islanders is a good bet as well though

 

[GAMO1992]

TBH as good as Peters has been with this group I feel like Trotz should win the Jack Adams being in NYI. He took that team and made it great. made them from the legit worst defensive team just last season and turned it into the best defensive team in the NHL. Peters def deserves the nod for sure. but what Trotz has done in Long Island has been nothing short of a miracle

 

[Anglesmith]

The funny thing is that yes, we look at the Islanders as a massive success story this season almost entirely because of a coaching change, but we also made a coaching change and have had a bigger improvement in our record thus far in the season than the Isles have. The Islanders were the worst defensive team in the league last year, but they were also one of the best offences, which they have slightly sacrificed. I believe the Flames have improved in both regards.

the thing is, the flames have a vastly superior roster, and they(Isles) LOST Tavares to free agency, while we added Lindholm, Hanifin, Neal, and Ryan as great depth options. so yeah while our improvement has been better overall, our roster is also improved upon last season. I'm not saying he shouldn't win the award at all. any other given season absolutely. but this season, Trotz has done some absolutely magical stuff over there.
it is very close. but i would absolutely give the award to Trotz. that team should not be around the top of the Metro with teams like Pitts/Wash/CBJ etc

I don't disagree with you. Mostly just playing Devil's Advocate.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

trotz for me. Peters #2, the Flames have a lot more skill

 

[beakerboy]

Trying to identify the best defensive defencemen in the NHL - Sportsnet.ca

I don't know if I fully agree with this, but he's arguing (using stats even!) that the top ten defensive defencemen in the NHL are:

Brodie
Jensen
Tanev
Spurgeon
Pesce
Giordano
Theodore
Vlasic
Pietrangelo
Klefbom

No way of knowing how the graph is sorted.

Think of all the hilarious chirps she gets to hear, though.

Every time I discuss the Iginla and Bouwmeester trades, I mention that it's difficult to find comparables. Today's Muzzin trade seems like a very similar trade from a lot of perspectives, and the return is actually quite similar.
