Post-Game Talk: CGY 2 @ NSH 1 (OT): Praise John Ramp.
- Thread starter Yung Rotini
- Start date
Defense was pretty good Ramo played well (reason we were still in it) and the team played very well after the first. Exciting game and it seems like the team is finally clicking! Great to see and I think we go on a tear soon, like we are currently I guess.

I think that was mainly because they only had 11 forwards because Frolik left in the second with upper body injury
Nevermind, the Flames aren't in a playoff spot. Coyotes have the tie breaker, with 14 ROW to the Flames' 13.
Still, the Pacific is a joke. It's good, in the sense that it gives the Flames the opportunity to overcome their terrible start. But it's bad, in that, if the Flames start losing again, it's always an excuse to not sell.
But regardless, Russell, Jones and Hudler should all be traded at the deadline or sooner. No cap room to re-sign any of them and none of them are really long term solutions.

With the Oilers loss tonight, the Flames are now solely the hottest team in the NHL. Feels good, man.
Edit: Streak wise, at least, L10 not quite #1.

Setting up the play?
Yay we won. Nice to find this out after forgetting there was a game going on while I was lying on the beach.

I dont know how the Flames keep on winning these games...
As much as I love to see a win, part of me thinks they deserve a loss. What these wins are doing to the team, is once again setting unrealistic expectation and postponing facing the fact that this team has a long way to go until they are a true threat and a contender in this league. So a loss or a truly poor record would force the team to focus on themselves more and examine their system (or lack of). Its tough however because wins boost confidence and confidence is a part of what you need to develop as a team or player.
That first period was a perfect example of what this team truly is. They were completely out played there and were lucky to come out of that period not down 3-4 goals. What is most frustrating is that never has this team looked like the team Nashville was in that first. The Flames entry and possession in their offensive zone is crap poor and without Johnny it would be non existent. I dont think there is a team in the league that ever truly feel a treat from this team when they enter the zone. That is the development I want to see from this team eventually. Build on your game and hopefully in 1-2 years time we can be a good possession team with true full depth threat. But what I fear is that these random scramble wins are just postponing getting to that in some sense.

First period was probably the worst period I've seen this season. Rämö was solid, and that maybe saved the Flames. On the other hand, when you look at the whole game, Nashville managed just 9 shots on the last two periods.
And I'd say Flames have looked as good as the Predators in the first period. Not a full game (or even period), but for the first 10min of 3rd period of that OT game at Chicago, Flames absolutely dominated.

According to the AHL website Nakladal has not been recalled and the Flames have not made an AHL/NHL transaction since Smid was recalled after his conditioning stint.

So is there an Award for most disallowed goals in a season, Bennett has to be leading that race.
Also how in the name of all things hockey was their no Penalty, let alone a penalty shot for Ferland.
But most importantly Yay we won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
