Calgary might actually run Markstrom into the ground this season. He’s not exactly a very durable goalie. He’s a good goalie, I think he’s far more effective as a platooning goalie with a decent backup. Rittich has only played two games so far.
If Markstrom goes down with an injury, their goaltending duo becomes Rittich-Domingue.

[Blue and Green]

Team has played much better in the last five games.

 

[calnuck]

Good game from the team aside from the 4th line from start to finish. A rarity these days, I'll take it

 

[EpochLink]

Satisfying win

 

[JiffyPB]

Brock to Marky after that 5th goal

 

[thekernel]

This series against Calgary has me optimistic about this team turning it around, for real

 

[Ozone]

Solid goaltending. Solid win.

 

[geebaan]

What a strange game. Shots and high scoring chances were basically identical but we won 5-1. One team finished there chances and one didn’t.

 

[Grub]

Lets see if we can actually turn around this season. Our top players starting to dominate.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Mediocrity here we come!

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Big win. Much needed. Long shot for the playoffs but a step in the right direction!

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Really good game by Holtby and nice to see Juolevi get 19 minutes. It will be a really nice help to the team long term if he can be a regular.

 

[NuxFan09]

Looking forward to the back to back against Winnipeg. Hellebuyck is always a test and now they have Dubois in the lineup.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Good game..Looks like Olli Juolevi has solidified himself a spot..played 19 minutes.

 

[M2Beezy]

Man I love this team

 

[Knight53]

The flames are in such an ugly situation. Bizarre offseason for them giving out those contracts and going all in for that shitty core.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Good to win that series in the end. Definitely the better team and finally got to Markstrom.

Gaudreau and Monahan look like anchors to that roster.

 

[LordBacon]

sens and flames are bad

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Great to see that this team is having fun again..Lets see if they can keep it going.

 

[Zippgunn]

Win % with Loui in the lineup: .625...

 

[mriswith]

Boeser pacing for 50 goals now.

The flames are in such an ugly situation. Bizarre offseason for them giving out those contracts and going all in for that shitty core.

They have an identity to uphold - perennial mediocrity. Can't go too high or too low.

 

[Bougieman]

Wow, what a turnaround for Bo -- nice to see him looking like himself. Also loved Holtby this game. So cool and calm.

Still distressing to notice that even the flames are far better along the boards than the Canucks are, and also are much more together looking when transitioning and leaving their zone. That's something this team still needs to get worked out.

It's pretty obvious that Vancouver is trending up, and Calgary are trending down right now in terms of play quality, and it's very good news, because that means we're very likely to pass them in the standings. We've gone through the tough part of the schedule in terms of games played in a short period of time, and they're just approaching theirs. And to top it off, they're already starting to run Marky into the ground instead of being smart with how much they play him.

Hoggle is slowly becoming my favourite character from the movie Labyrinth -- oops, I mean my favourite Canuck.

Mediocrity here we come!

Draft lottery is ours this year
