GDT: Flames at Canucks - 8:00pm Sportsnet

[JurassicTunga]

69 seconds.

Nice.

 

[Rubi]

That was a pretty anemic PP.

 

[flames23]

Markstrom is so so bad

So crazy how MCD and company completely ended his short lived reign as a top tendie.

 

[DFF]

Has Sharangovich scored a point or done anything useful?

Huzzah! Huby!

Or Kadri. I'll take it.

 

[super6646]

If Lindholm is moved back to wing we really can't be paying him 9m+

And that's the only way I can see it working with Huberdeau. Good goal

 

[Rubi]

Markstrom is struggling. Its only a matter of time before he lets in another one.

 

[super6646]

The rebounds are awful

 

[Lunatik]

I'm not sure I like the combo of Rango, Coronato and Backlund, I think a grittier guy like Coleman fits better than Rango.

Nice moves by Weegs

2 assists in 5 games.

Zary was +4 and had had 3 points in 4 games and was still sent down because who needs skill when you can have Schwindt's 0 points and -4 in 5 games.

Huby-Kadri show more chemistry in 30 secs than the top line has put together all pre-season.

Its inevitable at some point. You have to put guys in a position to succeed...

Probably but they aren't going to put the guy they got in return for Toffoli on the 4th line and he certainly doesn't belong on the 2nd or 1st from what I've seen so far. Politics.

Politics. They want the guy they are paying $10.5m and the center they are going to pay $9m playing together.

Dirty politics.

Sutter went apeshit last year, but he was absolutely right about giving up on that duo.

Lindholm is not a f***ing puck-carrying centre!!!! Huberdeay isn't a puck-carrying winger!!!! They each need others to do that sort of work!!!!!

Same sort of thing going this pre-season as last one. They are just dumping the puck and going for the cycle and generating nothing. They aren't dangerous.

Honestly, what you or I see means nothing, it doesn't make it political. He needs time to find his footing on a new team. He's been bounced around so far and will eventually find a role.

I'd even be fine with Rango flanking Coleman and Backlund, I just think both Rango and Coronato are both shooters first and we'd benefit if they were on different lines.

I suspect Zary was sent down because the only spot for him on the Flames was on the 4th line and they didn't want him languishing on the bench playing 8-10 minutes a night.

 

[Boomstick]

Just wanted to say when the Nucks were in our zone for well over 2 minutes, it was all because of Oesterle. Had a chance to dump the puck twice and turned it over.

Coronato just got rocked and mayhem ensues.

He's not a top 6 NHL caliber dman. He can play #7 minutes in a pinch, but I wish we put someone else there.

I remember they told Bennett there was no spot at C for him. It belonged to Derek Ryan

Back of eyes feel sore as fffff. Good luck Flames. Time to turn off lights and TV.

 

[Three On Zero]

Marky looks dialed in, if he stays healthy I think Calgary is going to be a big threat this season. Look miles better without Sutter

 

[super6646]

Marky looking better.

Tanev struggling tonight.

 

[Boomstick]

Goal scoring legend Teddy Blueger.

 

[super6646]

Zadorov-Oesterle pair so so awful

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Hunt can’t be puck watching there. Let his man get away while the D were spaced out.

And then takes a penalty.
