GDT: Battle in Music City: Calgary @ Nashville. 6PM MT, Sportsnet Flames

Stone...

 

[Dack]

To be fair he’s be miles better the last two games

Which is awful because this game has taken a penalty and is like 2/5 on breakout passes.

I hate to beat the same bush but holy f*** Stone sucks. Takes penalties cause he is too slow, gets turn styled cause he too slow, can't defend 2-1 properly where both Vali and Ras can, ices the puck cause he can't pass, can't hold the blue line after a shift where 2 rookies with a combined 14 games held it in 3+ times each.

Please tell me why Flames fans you defend this guy.

Pretty unimpressed by Neal, he’s really floating out there. I was expecting more after that big contract we signed him to

This is false, he was just as terrible. His first game against Vancouver he was even worse than tonight.

He's saving that mojo for the Stanley Cup Finals

He's a floater, which is why Peters can't have him with Monahan or on the shutdown line with Backlund. But he can wire the puck if his linemates set him up, and I think we'll see that chemistry emerge.

 

[super6646]

Backlund. Crap.

 

[Dack]

I took Backlund in my hockey pool this year and this man has had like 15 grade A chances this season and has yet to get a point.

 

[Anglesmith]

Man.... if Backlund only had a shot.

 

[Asimplehockeyfan]

Love games like this, its coast to coast with just fantastic plays by both teams.

 

[Volica]

This has been a fun game.

 

[MDCSL]

Stone is real lucky he didn’t get a penalty there too, stupid stupid move hooking him after the shot. I like stone, but if you’re too slow to catch him in the corner pinch him off don’t get lazy.

Preds pushing and Smith has been holding us in.

I don't mind this at all. It's been so long since we've had leads to protect.

No question. Smith looking a lot better, but he doesn't have red pads either

Seriously, how can you have a 4% difference in save % from the road and home? Ditch those f***ing red pads, it helped Elliott a lot when he was leaking left and right.

Must be playing Fortnite with his kids

Saddledome crease is too old and shoddy. Somebody buy him a new one.

 

[tmurfin]

Man I still feel for Bennett losing that goal , finally gets rewarded for his play and it’s taken from him

 

[Mobiandi]

Woah Ball has a beard

 

[Anglesmith]

Need a big period here. A good push at the start would make the rest of the period very easy.

 

[super6646]

MONNY!!!!

 

[Calculon]

That was okay

Boring goal

 

[Anglesmith]

Yup, that's preeeeetty much what I had in mind.
