GDT: Call me Ishmael, return of the Blasty - Canucks(12-3-1) @ Flames(5-8-2) 7pm SNW

Man, when Hoglander scored and then Popsicle took that penalty, I thought the Canucks might end up scraping out another comeback.

Gonna need to see a few more wins before I learn how to relax.

Nice dig by Coleman and Backlund. Like Backs reaction to Huberdeau scoring, and for that matter the rest of his teammates too. They know it's been kicking his ass lately.

Quality game from the Flames. Thought all 4 lines had a pretty good night. Nice to see Huberdeau and Lindholm get on the scoresheet. Extra nice to beat a divisional opponent that's been on fire at the Dome.
big ups to AJ Greer, thought he was great in this one

Beating the Canucks never fails to brighten the day.

I didn't think I'd like Popsicle this much.

Looking forward to a good day of gloating tomorrow.

Go flam.

Best game of the season and I pooped myself in the bed. The start was set to 2am my local time and I didn't want to have a miserable weekend! Ooh terrible. Well done Flames, happy for Huberdeau and Lindholm!!

Islanders on the menu tomorrow who must be tired after 2 back to back draws on the trip.

Also re Ruzicka, he doesn't look 100% to me but those questioning his points production- since he got back he has hit post 2 or 3 times, goalies made fantastic stops or his passes in key chances were not converted. Could easily have extra 4-5 points. He is super versatile and will rack the points soon.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

That’s a big win by the good guys.

4-1-1 in last 6?

 

[flames23]

Told ya. Hopefully @flames23 bet on it

Wish I'd seen it. No goal bets today. My pvr failed tonight too. Just got to watch the yt 8 min highlights. Good job on blasty Dube basedness.

I give Ruz a pretty long leash as he never got one in his career so far. Indeed he came close a few times but I agree I think he's still not quite 100%. I

Vancouver have first round exit written all over them

 

[RasmusAndersson]

Hanifin might be our best player this year. He’s flying out there and seems like his confidence is all-time high

I didn't think I'd like Popsicle this much.

I always liked him, but a few years ago it felt like he was in the AHL doghouse. So happy to see him succeed at the NHL level

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Good game but I still hate this f***ing jersey.

Good game but I still hate this f***ing jersey.

They should wear the 04 reds as an alternate

I didn't think I'd like Popsicle this much.

This is exactly what I was thinking watching him before his recall. He's a completely different player than before. At first I was concerned about him being on the Wranglers top line, but he was great.

Good game but I still hate this f***ing jersey.

Oleg Saprykin disapproves



On a related note . . . It'd be almost threadworthy to discuss who had the most taped ankles in history. Oleg and Pavel Bure have to be in the discussion. I also wonder if it contributed to Bure's knee problems as it seemed his legs didn't bend at the ankles.
