GDT: Flames at Canucks - 8:00pm Sportsnet

[Lunatik]

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

And then takes a penalty.

I like Hunt, but this is why I don't think he should be an everyday player. He's fine as a 13F though

 

[super6646]

Coronato looking very good. Again, his puck carrying skills surprise me.

 

[Boomstick]

Wow, all the premiere superstars are scoring on us tonight. Myers, Blueger and DiGuissepe

PGD has surprised us over in Canuck-land and really found a home on our second line as a mucker with enough skill to keep a play going.

 

[Rubi]

Well if this game is a sample of what we should expect to see in the regular season, I won't be a happy camper.

No worry. Wait till December

Heard that before?

 

[Fig]

We have the firepower of a cigarette lighter…

 

[Rubi]

Weegar obviously got tired of waiting for a fwd to carry the puck.

 

[DFF]

Weak offense but good luck winning with 0.85 save percentage

 

[super6646]

Weegar obviously got tired of waiting for a fwd to carry the puck.

We have 3 fwds who can do it. Its kinda sad.

 

[DFF]

But can they complete a pass when they get there?

 

[Boomstick]

Since we're all not in a great mood with how the Flames look tonight, did you see TSN's top 50 NHL players?
Not one Flame in the top 50. Way to represent, boys.

At least this year I'm not going into the season with high expectations which I normally have.
Stranger things have happened. Maybe we'll find some chemistry.
I for one am still happy there's some new young blood instead of the same old slow and old 4th line plugs.

I'd be stunned if they are a playoff team. Sutter was a toxic POS, but the team is older and the goalies need to get a lot better. They look so slow too.

 

[super6646]

If I'm correct, Huby-Lindholm have 2 (maybe 3) es pts amongst them this pre-season?

Same thing last pre-season. They didn't figure the chemistry out after the fact.

 

[Rubi]

I know Sutter was an asshole but do you think Huska is too nice?
These guys tonight are playing like they are in the 4th game of a 6 day road trip.

 

[flames23]

Rough game to watch. Don't want Lindy anywhere near $9M. Oof. The ol' 16th pick locked in for a near decade.

 

[Rubi]

That sucked

 

[Boomstick]

All she wrote. See you all on opening night.
Cheers gang.

 

[super6646]

Have Huby-Lindholm made even one cerebral wow wow play in the per-season?

Like seriously, its one thing to say you have to establish chemistry. Those two don't have it.

Ugh. Just painful and boring hockey.

 

[Rubi]

Demko has his mojo back. Finished the game with a .944 Sv%

 

[Lunatik]

It's always hilarious to me that people quote single game SV%, it's the definition of tiny sample size.

 

[JPeeper]

More hilarious is people caring about pre-season hockey. Vets know the season is 82 games long, they aren't going out there to do anything other than get their cardio back.

Markstrom letting in more soft goals though is concerning, losing another season because we couldn't get any goaltending until after the All-Star break will be beyond painful.

Soft goals?

Goal #1 was through a screen. Goal #2 was a breakaway and #3 was shelfed from in tight.

You are right about the pre-season though. Get cardio and timing back, and try not to get injured.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Bring on the regular season

Ugh. Just painful and boring hockey.

Is there another team out there with a less inspiring group of players? Old, expensive, tepid, devoid of any creativity. Treliving utterly destroyed the near future of this franchise.
