Series Discussion: Flames - Jets (Flames Win 3-1)

[JPeeper]

I wouldn't go as far as to say Forbort is trash at defence. In the games we saw he was sound and strong and could be good with a puck moving parnter to outlet to on breakouts. But saying he was bad seems wrong to me.

If you can't get the puck out of your own end your trash. Good for you, they didn't score on you on your 2+ minute shift you spent in your entire zone. That doesn't make him a good defensive player. Guy plays against 3rd and 4th liners and is hemmed in his own zone for 2 minute long shifts. He's useless.

Deryk "the most overrated Flame ever" Engelland was the same. I can't believe Flames fans ever thought he was any good. Brodie carried him that year when Gio went down. Engelland's break out pass was to ice the puck, that's all he knew how to do. "hE wAs ToUgH tHo" OK Burke, I'll just watch the Pens win a Cup with 6 no name puck moving d-men.

I don’t think there will be any hockey.

Forbort has probably played 200 NHL games on a top pairing and is a plus career player. He’s used to facing Crosby, McDavid, etc. Not 3rd and 4th lines. He’s used to NOT being sheltered, as he routinely used for D zone starts. I believe Forbort easily fits into any teams 3rd pairing, with experience to slide up the roster.

Also, Forbort was one of LA main PK guys when they led the league. Ward was already using a few games on top PK with Gio.

The guy has some value. No offense in his game, but there are two sides to hockey.

Not with that attitude.

 

[Nanuuk]

Not with that attitude.

Its not an attitude, just a recognition of the current state of affairs that will most likely derail professional sports plans to re-start.

No GA is mission accomplished.

If only there were four other skaters to clear the zone in that scenario...

I never understood why the Flames, an apparent playoff team, were picking off playoff inexperienced Dmen from a bottom 3 team two years in a row.

Top 10 GM stuff lol

 

[Beavski24]

I personally disagree on Forwards. I think their top end guys overall have a higher peak, and have better depth overall but that's just my two cents.

If they have higher depth peak doesn't that make them better

 

[DFF]

Harmonic is done as a flames

Good riddance

 

[Oilwings]

No Hamonic for the Flames.

 

[super6646]

No Hamonic for the Flames.

Sad thing that this probably makes our lineup better as our coaching staff would've continued pushing him into a top 4 role.

Wish him and his family the best nonetheless.

 

[Rubi]

Per Travis Hamonic

 

[SI90]

This kid has always been a man of principles and character. He Will forever be one of my favorite islanders. I 100% agree with and respect his decision.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

‍Goodbye Travis. Those five playoff games were..
well...
yeah

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Love Hamonic. If he’s done as a Flame, I wish him and his family nothing but the best.

 

[JPeeper]

Helps the Flames win. At least this pretty much guarantee's our 2nd pairing to be Hanifin-Ras, thank f***.

Negative take I know, but it is the truth.

 

[Boomstick]

Who do you think will replace Travis in the lineup? I really don't want to see Valimaki until the start of the next season.

 

[crackdown44]

Paving the way for Kylington to take us to the promised land

Can’t wait to suck from Lord Stanley’s nipple

 

[Kranix]

The acquisition of Hamonic was I think a blunder on Treliving's part but best of luck to Travis

 

[Mobiandi]

I think he ends up in Winnipeg

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Gio-Brodie
Hanifin-Ras
Fobort-Gus

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Can't blame him for prioritizing family over this circus. I also still think they'll pull the plug on the season before we reach the SCF, so whatever. Good luck in Winnipeg, Travis.

 

[Beavski24]

It actually does tho
