GDT: calcar

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I don't think there needs to be a game to do it, even though many of us would like to see him play. He's only played 11 AHL games in his career so there's no rush to get him a game at the NHL. The coach is worried about winning games and obviously thinks Lack gives them the better chance (he may be right or he may be wrong, but it's not an unreasonable position to take). During the all star break, they can send him to Charlotte to get meaningful games in so that's a non-issue.

If Altshuller is the real deal, he'll have plenty of chances to prove it in the coming years. If Lack does terribly for a few more games, then he'll likely get his chance this year as well. If we don't see him get a game at all this season, it's not a big deal. Seems a bit like a "shiny new toy" syndrome.

And anyway, this game is an automatic loss already. Not a B2B and not a Hank GDT.

 

[AD Skinner]

Yeah hank needs to get us out of this funk

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Hank as been trying to, but unfortunately, others don't respect the streak.

On a side note, we thought the Canes would need 93-94 points to have 70%+ chance of geting into the playoffs. Let's say 94 to be safe. They are at 50 points today and have 33 games left in the season. If I use the same ratio of OTLs the rest of the way, that means they'd need to go 19-8-6 over these 33 games in order to get in (and that might still be tight depending on the teams ahead of them). Tarheel had some website (can't find the link) that might have a better estimate than this.

I don't think they are that good of a team, but will never say never. Needless to say though, they can't afford to lose this one.

Rask. Holy ****.

Dougue Hamilton looks likes he's aged 20 years since going to Calgary

Malone going for more PIM than TOI.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

GRONK CATCH a

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Malone is a good 4th liner, but he can't take as many penalties as he does.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Good call...and good shot

 

[Stickpucker]

Da powa of da sweedes!

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Lack with a great save.

 

[Novacane]

Sounds like quite the game to not be watching

 

[HisIceness]

Yay for 2-0 lead.

 

[VAcaniac]

Guess Flames didnt get the Lack scouting report.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

On the Flames broadcast, they interviewed Darcy Tucker and Geoff Sanderson at the intermission. Man, Sanderson still looks so young...almost like he could still play. I loved him as a player when he was in the NHL.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

wow. Great pass by E.Staal

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Nice up by Hainsey, and perfect execution of the two on one by Eric and Versteeg.

Nice bounce back game from the boys.

 

[Joe McGrath]

wow. Great pass by E.Staal

The move to create the pass was quite good.

Edit: And hand grenade with a hell of an outlet pass.

 

[Novacane]

Touchdown and goal almost synced

Credit where credit is due. I agree...a great pass.
