Flames win, Oilers lose, Canucks getting shellacked. I'll take it.
Good : All three top 9 centers were good I thought. Kadri needed a big game like that, he's had a pretty brutal stretch recently. Lindy was excellent, need more 1C play like that from him. Weegar and Tanev I liked, not Weegar more than Tanev who was a little slow on some plays. Dube was flying honestly, gets a little full of himself after scoring sometimes and gives it away getting fancy but I like seeing him play with confidence.
Pretty good : Vladar made several huge saves, suspect slot coverage from the Flames in this one, didn't love the 1st goal, should have got his body behind it. Zadorov strong again. Starting to look like a value contract at 3.75 per. Ruzicka hanging onto pucks and making plays happen, bury that EN tho man.
Not bad : Mangiapane was decent. Going to the net, continuing OZ plays. Huberdeau and Toffoli were ok, the lack of speed on that line is rough tho. Ras was alright, getting better on the PP but him and Hanifin struggled tonight.
Not good : Stone too stationary, beat wide several times and struggles to get to loose pucks. Basically an immobile cannon that needs wheeling around. Coleman bobbling pucks and uncharacteristically missing some defensive assignments.
don't want to talk about it : 4th line sucked. They sucked because they suck.
This team really is incapable of making things easy on themselves this season. Should have buried the Coyotes in the 2nd and instead gave up a 2 goal lead.
