GDT: Flames vs Blue Jackets @ the Dome - Mar 4, 2020

[2023FriendshipTour]

Take the win and the salty HF Oil. "Flames are the luckiest teamn in the NHL".. Looks at Edmonton's draft history.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Flames turn up the heat in the 3rd and get a big 2 points after being flat for most of the game.

Classic Flames rollercoaster ride.

 

[Anglesmith]

Get more pucks to the net, play a full 10 minutes, and hope to get a lucky bounce.

Check. Check. Check.

I mean, realistically, the whole "Flames don't deserve this game" mantra that the commentators were pushing was ignoring the fact that there are two teams. Realistically, as much as the Flames were punished for lacking focus and playing without life for a small period of the first period, the Blue Jackets only actually came to play in this one for a small portion of the game.

You want the Flames to not fall behind against a team like this, but after they did fall behind, there is absolutely zero argument that the Blue Jackets were even close to as good as the Flames over the final 40. If they commit so heavily to playing prevent defence, you have to gut it out and score through shear pressure. And guess what? The Flames did that. Good on them.

They have about the same 5v5 goal differential as us but an otherworldly, unsustainable PP and think they're hot shit

Columus sit back and lost...Flames played like shit in the first half of the 3rd period as well

This is so frustrating to watch. Throwing away the decent road trip w more home dogshit play. Well, let's see if we get an unexpected cameo from the cardiac kids.

Well hello, old friends.

 

[BigRangy]

Yeah I missed the first, Columbus might hve had three scoring chances in the 45 minutes I watched. Flames were much better but it would be nice to get ahead of the game rather than always playing catch up.

 

[Corpus X]

We did not deserve that!!!!!!

Correction, we did deserve that; the Flames did not.

They were definitely bobbling way too many pucks, but it's honestly hard not to look like shit if the opposition is trapping that hard.

Timothy Jimothy Brodie to the rescue!!!!!!

The old saying "you can't win games in the first, but you can lose them" especially applies to teams who sit on leads this way.

This team is so f***ing bipolar...

SO f***ING BIPOLAR

It just looks like they don't know what to do when they get all that space. So they drift wide to the boards and throw a prayer through a bunch of bodies.

We are on a roller coaster ride the rest of the way guys....make sure that seat bell is tighten LOL

This sounds just like how I street brawl.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Timothy Jimothy Brodie to the rescue!!!!!!

I'm still laughing at when someone changed his Wiki page to say Thomas Jomas Brodie

 

[Tofveve]

Just saw a few of the final goal highlights. Very exciting and glad for the W. Way to go guys!

They live in Edmonton and it's the only excitement they have in their lives.

A vast majority of Flames fans appear to congregate on an independant forum called CalgaryPuck. The Oilers also used to have an independant forum called OilFans but it was such trash, as would be typical of and expected of Oilers fans, that they all migrated here as their exclusive stomping ground.

The Flames fanbase has a forum called CalgaryPuck. It's a bit of an echo chamber, but it is much more popular than HF for Flames fans.

Good guy scorekeeper giving Backlund the phantom assist to start another huge point streak.

30% PP - 1st
10.7% team shooting -2nd
84.4 % PK (with bad-mediocre advanced stats) - 2nd

The powerplay is definitely one of the leagues best but it's not 30% good. The penalty kill should be much lower based on xGA.
