Pre-Game Talk: Calgary Flames vs. the Panguins

[Pancakes]

You know we're just going to keep on winning just enough games to keep Johnston on until we lose in the first round again too.

 

[ibar726]

honestly if there isa worse d-man in the league than Cole I would like to know his name

Scuderi???

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

COle is a piece of dog ****.

Pretty much.

To be fair, every single one of our defenseman is except for Dumo.

Letang throwing a nice little temper tantrum after the EN goal there. Solid. Maybe put some of that emotion into actually playing like a god damn NHL defenseman with your talent and athleticism, Kris.

I'm sure it is, but Sid needs to be better. A $9M floater out there.

The whole team needs to play better minus a few guys. It's so weird how everyone at the exact same time forgot how to score. I'm betting MJ is here for the long haul, so RIP to the next 2-3 seasons.

 

[crossicepass]

Cole, what do you have to say for yourself?

 

[canadianguy77]

It has to be demoralizing being Sprong or Bennett.

 

[Rocket of Russia]

This team isn't even fun to watch when they're winning...when they're losing it's outright tragic

Haha you are correct.

trade for MAF in fantasy. 4 GA in first game

 

[Scandale du Jour]

No Mr CBC analyst, the Pens are not a great team.

Lovejoy had a worse game. Cole is a 5 6 playing a 2 role with a 1 who is playing terribly

So, you're saying it's your fault we lost?

Systems aside, there should still be an obvious difference in the play of Sid ($9M) vs. Bonino (less)....and it shouldn't be in Bonino's favor.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

It isn't Cole's fault that the **** for brains coach continues to force him on the top pairing. It's caught up to him and it is going to ruin him.

yes. im sorry

 

[Rocket of Russia]

That turnover was awful, and was entirely his fault.

He, Cole, and Letang all were -4.

 

[66-30-33]

yes. im sorry

Please make us lose 20 in a row, scoring a total of 5 goals and allowing 100. Although i'm sure we will hear "teams slumping, MJ will get them to be better" lol.

 

[madinsomniac]

The optimal top pairing is maatta Letang... The optimal 2nd is dumolin with clandenningor pouliot... But that means scuds or Lovejoy needs scratched

 

[Extra Texture]

No Mr CBC analyst, the Pens are not a great team.

It sickens me, this national media campaign to whitewash their ****tiness. The fools on NHL network are GOBSMACKED that the Flames just smoked the "red hot Pens" right now. "Pens have been on fire lately, how did that happen?"

This is the apologist garbage that keeps this organization happy with warmed over mediocre hockey from inept coaches and personnel.

It starts with the sycophantic jokers on ROOT and then goes outward form there. The org never gets called out and its all the same "Nothing to see here, everything is fine" mentality. Garbage.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

honestly, sid has been something i've just tried not to think about this season. don't want to know the answer to any of the questions around him, and don't think any would be positive

Sid's been off for about two seasons now (this entire year, plus last season). It just so happens to coincide when he had that wrist injury he refused to have surgery on and decided on rehab instead.

If his wrist is ****ed up, get it fixed. Because THIS Sid is so frustrating to watch. He doesn't look like a threat to score at all.
