Game day, guys.

Not sure why they're mixing up 3m, but I suppose Bennett getting moved up isn't a bad thing either.

Also, Blackhawks seem to be playing a bit better as of late. Could be a tougher test than expected.

Go Flames!

5-2 good guys.

 

[Nanuuk]

Peters broke up 3M last game as I recall. Benny played well so they'll get another chance to play together. I thought Frolik added stability to the 3 line and felt they controlled the puck well. Chicago is playing a rookie goaltender tonight, but he's notched three victories so far so the Flames can't take it for granted that they'll win tonight. They'll need to work harder than we've seen the last couple or at the least, start on time.

It looks like 3M is used against better teams as a shutdown line. Blackhawks is not that good at the moment, so 2nd line can have a more offensive role

 

[Tkachuky]

Just win.



Are we getting a back up? Are they playing on a back to back? Are we going to get 10 power plays? Did Johnny cry the whole game?

Love reading the pure salt in their heads.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Go Flams, do the thing.

 

[DCDM]

Wrap this roadie up with a nice W. GFG!

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Gotta keep winning since the Sharks and Knights do. Keep it up boys.

Hopefully the Flames put out a better effort than the last 3 games they are starting to slide a bit after the big San Jose game.

Flames (outside of the top line) have been on kind of a slide for the better part of the last month. Johnny can't outscore their problems forever. I don't expect this to be the game where the underlying problems come home to roost as Chicago has poor depth and an aging core, but it's a good warm-up for the guys to get back into their top form.

I felt that way too, but the comeback win helped restore some of my confidence. Every game in this league needs an A effort to win it. That's how tough it is.

Chicago was good enough to end Pittsburgh's 8 game streak, so we can't just expect them to lose if we don't play well.

At least Rittich is back and healthy. Praise Satan.

Big night from the top line again.

6-1 because some boner on our team turns it over or puts it in our own net.

This is today's free game from the NHL gamecentre.

The Flames have something to beak at when they play the Hawks.

4-2 Flames

I assume that means I can watch it on on Telus's NHL Center Ice? Or is that something different?

 

[Rubi]

A win by the Flames and a loss by the Leafs who are playing the Preds tonight will give the Flames sole possession of 2nd place league wide.
If that happens will HF now believe that the Flames are a legit cup contender? Probably not.

Not sure. It just says free game in the ticker - NHL Hockey Standings

 

[Mr Snrub]

People in Chicago sure love America

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Johnny!!

 

[Mr Snrub]

Johnny! More top line magic!

 

[Bounces R Way]

Gaudreau is a flat out ridiculous hockey player

 

[Corpus X]

Nice

 

[Corpus X]

That was Mony's patience which created that opportunity.

 

[Anglesmith]

Nice.

 

[Mr Snrub]

All Flames to start, nice to see.
