Setting up the play?
I'm concerned that, as a fanbase, we haven't drummed up enough outrage over the first Rantanen goal. At least, not yet. They literally scored the high-stick equivalent of the Duchene goal, but no one seems to have noticed. Imagine if this had happened to the Leaves? 
They lost the lottery genius... they could’ve ended up with Patrick... They’ve built the team well too.

Regarding the 3M line tonight, Backlund was questionable for the game. Could be an injury still affecting him. Tkachuk, still a bit rusty from missing most of preseason. And Frolik is still Frolik. So, shouldn't be too surprising they struggled.
But I do think they should still be broken up. Either replace Frolik with Bennett or completely restructure the line with Bennett at centre.

Still can't believe they gave Zadorov 5 on this.

Five minutes for being a pu**y boi
Lucic did more in one skirmish than Neal did in the entirety of last year. You could tell the rest of the team loved it too.

I love the Looch train so much. Guarantee next game, that Zaddy fella won’t be acting like he’s walking around with a 10ft stick.

Only got to watch the 3rd period. I see the Flames were outshot 14-3 in the 1st. What's with that? Tough to win a game against a team like Colorado when you spot them 11 shots to start the game.
Replay of one of the playoff games last year where the Flames got outshot and dominated?

Frolik is a veteran, who had one bad game, he will rebound, he is a good 200 foot player.
Jankowski needs to be better.

For the first period, 100%. All the same symptoms that plagued them then plagued them tonight in the first. But they were able to put together some actual hockey after the first.
The crazy thing is, if they'd blown the play dead on Landeskog's high stick like anyone with a brain, we would've gone to the first intermission tied.

On CP, they went crazy, stuff like this will happen, sucks it happened to our team(it should have been the other team.)

I really like the idea of Bennett as RW on that line. If he does really well there, try him at C.

Bennett was the RW on that line almost as much as Frolik was and more often than when he was with Jankowski last year and he did very little. Not sure why everyone thinks it will change. Bennett showed the same issues he always does tonight, looks decent, then tries to do too much and gives the puck away as a result.

Avs fan coming in peace. Yeah that was a bad non-call. We got boned on the Zads “fighting” call, but it pales in comparison. Honestly I felt that outside of that missed high stick, the refs were calling wayyy too much.
I was watching an Avs feed so they kinda grazed over it, but did Calgary challenge the high stick?

Yes and no, how often does a play like that actually happen in the neutral zone? It blows and all, but it was a pretty fluke play due to the location.

How is finishing with 45 points for the season not tanking. Just 'cause you lost the lottery doesn't mean they didn't tank.
But continue to troll on the Flames board.
Might wanna give up the Bennett hate dude. He had 0 giveaways last night, so not sure what game you watched. He had a pretty good assist too.

This might be tough for you to grasp, but just because a team is really bad doesn’t mean it’s tanking. If you want to see what tanking actually looks like, look at the Sabres in the McDavid draft.

The NHL doesn't score turnovers right, they may have scored them as takeaways, but there were definitely too
