JT Miller has played 22 minutes.
That was shocking to me.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Mr Freeze out there with less than a minute left

 

[Mitts]

Yes boys !

 

[Tofveve]

Good win boys!

 

[User1996]

Stole one

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

It was ugly but it was needed. Just keep the lines the same until we lose I don't care as long as they keep winning.

 

[Mobiandi]

Good half-assed win. Win the next three

 

[JurassicTunga]

Jacob Markstrom rules the land.

 

[TheHudlinator]

We needed that win bad.

Markstrom yet again first star
Backlunds line was probably the most consistent line for us tonight again

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

trash win

on to the next one

 

[DFF]

Don't even have to try

 

[Volica]

Good half-assed win. Win the next three

They woke up in the third and were by far the better team.
I’d even say in the first two there weren’t many major chances for Vancouver. Flames were just the better team.

 

[DFF]

We would have lost that one with rittich

Can you imagine paying Myers 6 million a year and then having to let Tanev walk at 4.5 million.

Or toffoli at 4.25

 

[User1996]

Or Leivo

Tanev, Markstrom and Toffoli all contributing to your own demise. This is beyond shooting yourself in the foot, this is setting your own bear trap to step on.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Rough first two periods but a strong third to close it out. Definitely gotta play better in the next 3 games.

Also, lol from the Oilers ATL thread:

Calgary is last years Canucks. Get outshot heavily every game but win because of Markstrom.

Flames 5v5 SF%: 50.00% (ranked 13th)
Flames 5v5 xGF%: 55.02% (ranked 5th)

Oilers 5v5 SF%: 47.39% (ranked 26th)
Oilers 5v5 xGF%: 49.67% (ranked 20th)

Oilers fans definitely aren't the smartest bunch.

Van’s offseason was Essentially the Super Bowl episode of Always Sunny.

Great : Marky Markstrom resident raidboss

Good : Backlund, Mangiapane, Lucic, Giordano, Tanev, Gaudreau, Leivo, Nordstrom

Meh : Hanifin, Valimaki, Monahan, Froese, Bennett

Bad : Nesterov, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Andersson

Unrated : Dube - got benched? Not sure what for.

 

[Mazatt]

That kinda happened and that's alright. Hopefully Saturday is better but shit, can't complain about a win. Don't get Dube being benched though, hopefully this sparks him like the last time he was benched.

Dube seems to have been benched part way through the 2nd and came on for the final powerplay the Flames had. Not sure if he was having issues before that though because he had three spaced out shifts in the 2nd, all of his shifts lined up with Tkachuk and Lindholm outside of his final 5v5 shift where he came out with Lucic and Backlund in the 2nd. Weird all around.

Because we can't have nice things.

I've been pretty disappointed with Tkachuk so far this year.
