2 year deal for Zad would be great. Not sure anybody is going to give him 5-6 years.

Interesting. 2 years is pretty short, I don't blame Zad. Pretty reasonable to want 4 or 5 or longer. I think I'd give Zad the bigger longer contract.

Zad is just 28 yrs old. Pretty tough to expect a guy entering his best years with most contract clout to sign a 34 yr old's 2nd to last contract (ie Backlund) IMO.

Ras' stick is soooo long

The one thing I dig about the new arena is the community rink, it'll be the Flames dedicated practice facility, will free up the main rink so the Wranglers and Hitmen can possibly practice more.

Thanks for the tip

Is a new arena a done deal? I missed this if true

Ras sure has the reacharound hand ready at all times when defending

I see it from both sides.

With Z's style of play wouldn't want to sign him for 5 or 6 years either. If he was 2 years younger I'd go 5

Yeah they announced it a bit ago... I'll find you links to the thread

Crazy how much better Huberdeau's pass conversion rate is compared to earlier in the season. Still a few duds, but it's not nearly every fumbling or missing a pass.

I think Zad would sign a compromise. I'd sign a 4 or 5 yr. He's been solid this year and last year here. Wheels might fall off by 33 or 34 though.

And Zad to the box as I write lol

Confidence sure goes a long way

Thanks. Interesting. I'd prefer they kept the Saddledome somehow still, kind of like the Pacific coliseum in Vancouver. But it's great that a new arena is being finalized. Hopefully it's truly class of the league when finished.

Then we'll need a new football stadium like Winnipeg or Regina.

 

[joescores]

Awful period so far

 

[Tofveve]

Frig off lahey

 

[joescores]

If Mangiapanne doesn't do anything positive in the second half- he should ride the pine in the next game. The play dies on his stick.

 

[Lunatik]

Dammit

 

[Tofveve]

That 5 Hole was pretty open

 

[super6646]

Sigh

 

[Felidae]

Vladar has to have that.

 

[Mobiandi]

With the way the flames have been playing these latest games, I'm actually excited to watch them.

A little bit of that is maybe because Huberdeau is playing better these last 2, not gonna lie.

But that Kadri line is the main event in Flames games.

The Flames are typically a difficult watch from October-mid November. It's hard to understand why it's like that no matter who is on the team

I was one of the few that were into the Calgary Next project where we'd have gotten the new arena and stadium all in one, somehow lol

 

[deleted user]

Lol. Vladar.

 

[Lunatik]

What the actual f***

 

[super6646]

Why is Vladar still f***ing up!

Come on! Goaltending is still doing this team no favours

 

[Mobiandi]

It’s Wolf time

 

[JPeeper]

The Cheifs lose because of dropped balls, turn to the flames we instantly get scored on to tie it up and now Seattle takes the lead.

I'm the tank commander now I guess.
