Post-Game Talk: Flames def. Canucks - 6-3 (Hughes, Garland, Pettersson)

[EpochLink]

Instead of dumping all those expiring deals, if we just paid Seattle to draft Myers we would be in a hilariously better scenario. But noooooo. Let's chase OEL for another albatross contract.

That was all Bennings genius idea, let’s cap the whole out of this team.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

look at the team in front of him… the D core is crap and the whole forward group doesn’t know how to play defensive and it’s also slow and soft

Screens shots, 2 on 1s and his d-man kicking the puck past him. Not sure how that gets chalked up to Demko allowing goals in bunches. It should get chalked up to bad players in front of him.

at first it wasn’t luongo’s fault either. remember all those crazy odd man rushes and bieksa looking lost? but it got in his head

 

[tantalum]

A guy like Myers is just helpless when the other team has a modicum of speed and structure. You just know right before he got signed Benning watched a highlight or two of him throwing a hit with no regards as to how he would fit in. All that mattered that the Canucks needed an RHD at the time.

And right now we're still paying for his foolishness.

Can’t play against speed. Loses 75% of his board battles no matter the size of the opposition player. But every once in while he jumps into the open slot to rip one wide or off the post.

The only thing left for this season is to help Miller stat pad to 100. Maybe get Petey to 70 but that really isn't an important Milestone

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Luongos mental game was bad, Demko will be fine. Demko ain’t got no Gina with him.

that’s the hope

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

hockey gods do not want jtm to hit 100

 

[tantalum]

They are going to let Lucic get an empty netter aren’t they?

 

[tantalum]

Almost!

 

[Kevinsane]

They are going to let Lucic get an empty netter aren’t they?

They certainly tried.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

I looked into it and there's actually a precedent for this -- every sports league in North America for the entireity of the existence of an amateur draft in any of them.

And they are the most successful sports leagues on the planet, with English Premier League in the mix as the only one with a peculiar system where rich teams actually buy good prospects from developmental teams with cash.

 

[HeLord]

PETEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ozone]

Petey Power!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

PETEYYYYYY!!!

[RussianRacket]

E
P
MONEY

YA GOTTA BELIEVE

 

[geebaan]

Petey can just do things that make you say wow.

Too bad he’s been a passenger all game

 

[Canuckle1970]

PETEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SHOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

 

[canuckking1]

Wow what a shot

 

[mathonwy]

Petey ripped that one

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

woo quinny ties the record

 

[PuckMunchkin]

This game could have 10 Calgary goals without Demko. Of all the people to criticize it’s f***ing brain dead to pick Demko today.

Im not seeing anyone criticizing him?

Saying he is tired isn't exactly criticism of him, its pretty obvious. He was puking during a TV timeout vs Dallas.

They did an awful job managing his minutes this year.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Queue a flames goal

 

[HH]

Pettersson snipes it

 

[JiffyPB]

Petey can just do things that make you say wow.

Too bad he’s been a passenger all game

This. Too little too late. I thought he and Brock were the disappointments of tonight. I would include Myers, but you just expect that for every game.

Miller, Garland and Demko were the only ones to really show up today.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

That was all Bennings genius idea, let’s cap the whole out of this team.

It was a infuriating situation.

You NEVER want to put the GM in a position where his own best interest does not equal the long term success of the team.

gross really?

pbp guy said earlier that the flu was ripping through the whole team
