GDT: Flames @ Avs - 7PM

[OvermanKingGainer]

We're missing Bennett and torpedoing our 2nd pairing with Hamonic in their so it's almost even I'd say

At this point Hanifin - Hamonic may as well be our 3rd pairing. Kylington - Andersson are smooth as butter.

Edmonton gets thoroughly dominated by Colorado and loses with Landeskog and Rantanen out of the lineup: “wow what an incredible team, class of the league”

We beat them without Kadri and Makar: “lmao flames lucked out Colorado had everyone injured”

Don’t forget the back up goalie excuse. And also because a game was on a Monday night in December with Jupiter a few inches further to the right than usual while having 2 airplanes flying over Pepsi Centre during the game.

It’s very good reading material. Snobby little shits.

Hanifin without Hamonic so far has been stellar, like almost our best Dman. Together, they're abysmal. I would personally chauffeur Trav to Winnipeg before the roster freeze because he doesn't look good in our system anymore

Needs to be adjusted to reflect our lucky wins as per coil fans

Man you aren't kidding, this is just sad to read.

Eh, Hanifin's had his moments for sure, but we could stand to trade him for a Dougie Hamilton type once Valimaki is back. Ollie and Juuso are beastmode.

I didn’t need to watch this game to know this

The only other guys in the league that remind me of Hamilton are Trouba, Risto, and Sergachev and I don't think any of them are quite as well-rounded as Hanifin.

Hanifin with Andersson was our top D-pair. Hammer comes back and the 2nd pairing goes straight into the toilet again.

It won't happen, but when Valimaki comes back the pairings should be Hanifin-Ras, Valimaki-Ollie and Hammer traded off for picks and keep Stone (this kills me btw) as the depth d-man.

I'll never understand their obsession with the flames. So insecure. I'm an Avs fan and have even noticed it.

Avs beat the Oilers with a even more beaten down Avs team. Their PBP guy was going on the whole about how the Oilers were at a huge disadvantage because of the altitude....

CP is now posting gifs of Ghost as well.

They really love me over there.

I just want to mention that the Flames only took 2 penalties tonight. Outstanding.
Do we really want Bennett back in the lineup? You know for sure that he's going to take 1 or 2 stupid ones every game once he's back.

You seem upset tonight.

Huh?? Not sure why you think that. I think the team, in general is playing very good.

I just read two of your posts. You took a shot at Johnny for being small and not being a top 2 player in the league in one, then took a shot at Bennett who isn't even playing tonight in the other.

How about Dube-Bennett line?

I took a shot at Gaudreau because I thought, after watching the excellent game he played on Saturday, the Johnny Hockey we all know and love was back. Tonight's game just showed that Saturdays game was an aberration.
I mentioned Bennett because he'd been mentioned a couple of time in this thread and as far as I'm concerned the Flames are playing better without him in the lineup than with him and the stupid penalties he takes.

They've also been better with Geoff Ward behind the bench, and we haven't seen what he looks like in that scenario. The Flames were bad with or without Bennett before the coaching change.
