GDT: Flames at Golden Knights: 5pm MT on SN

[Dack]

Vegas enters the zone with ease on the Powerplay, I'd like Geoff Ward to take notes.


Also Talbot is playing great.

 

[super6646]

Wow. Guys just stood there doing nothing and almost allowed another goal.

Team is broken.

Same song and dance at ES. Defense backs off with the slightest bit of pressure and then we get f***ed.

 

[super6646]

Alright, I got a new shtick to induce positive thoughts... moral victories!

Moral victory for period 1... we won the corsi battle. Yes!

The annoying thing is that their easy entries were mostly because right before they entered, we either deflected a pass or barely missed an interception. The reach, and the uncertainty about what is about to happen, creates the chance to enter.

Just like their goal. A lot of what we're giving up, we're giving up because of bad results from good things.

 

[DFF]

who knows scoring is so hard.

 

[super6646]

Why do we need that when we got more corsi than the opponent?

 

[super6646]

Very yikes stat...

"The 2016-17 Colorado Avalanche are the worst team of the cap era (scoring first goal). They finished with 22 wins and 48 points and only scored 165 goals. They only scored the first goal of the game 24 times and only scored 43 goals in first periods.

Well, these Flames are on pace to score the first goal 28 times and they're on pace to score just 35 first-period goals all season."

 

[Boomstick]

Just got home from dinner. My nephew turned 13. Went to The Keg.
1-0 eh? So we're not going to score any goals tonight either?
I don't think that's the way to win games.
But, what do I know?

Nothing! Don't you see that we got more corsi so far? That's almost as good as actually scoring.

Indeed. And their goal came because they gave the puck away right in front of the net, and we failed to get the puck to the gaping net three times with Fleury flailing around, then gave up a 2-on-1.

 

[super6646]

Flames just shoot from 30 feet out because they get isolated.

This is worse than GG hockey at this point.

 

[DFF]

f*** Glenn Gulutzan...I blame him

 

[super6646]

Team cannot cycle at all. Shut down with ease.

 

[Anglesmith]

Pretty sure Rittich has been penalized this season for that trip.

 

[DFF]

Lots of work for an easy shot

 

[Anglesmith]

Lots of work for an easy shot

Those two Andersson shots were dangerous. They're the type of shots that other teams score on us with. But of course, not the type of shot we score on ourselves.

 

[Anglesmith]

Wow, what a concept by Giordano there.

 

[Anglesmith]

So what exactly do the Flames do there that they shouldn't have a PP coming out of that play?

 

[Calculon]

Mangiapane going after Engelland. That would have been a sight.

 

[Anglesmith]

That is absolutely absurd. Fleury starts a scrum, so the Knights get a PP.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

So what exactly do the Flames do there that they shouldn't have a PP coming out of that play?

Being Calgary Flames?

Oh dip, a pk to boot.

 

[Anglesmith]

Talbot should've punched Tuch there so we could even things up.

That is absolutely absurd. Fleury starts a scrum, so the Knights get a PP.

Oh lord...

 

[Anglesmith]

There we go, Jankowski gives an extra shot to his guy and starts a scrum, so the Knights get a penalty.
