GDT: Flames vs. Buffalo 7 PM MT Dec 5: Wake me up before you go go.

[Rubi]

The Flames played well for 56 minutes. Things are improving.

 

[Mobiandi]

Brodie was only ever bad when forced to play the left side under GG

He’s a god damn treasure and he should have been an Olympian

I will cry if we let him walk in favour of Hamonic

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Geoff Ward undefeated just sayin

 

[Bounces R Way]

I would like to see my favourite hockey team play a good hockey game from start to finish at least once this season. I don't think that's too much to ask.

I guess I can live with 57:44 of good hockey.

Giordano was great tonight. Gaudreau had some jump. Flames generally were skating well. Rieder and Lucic lol

Kylington had a real high event game, lucky to have Andersson covering for him.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Just a great game all around. I like the Geoff Ward era.

 

[Anglesmith]

Well, that's a type of game I've not seen for a long, long time.

Finally a full 57 minutes.

 

[viper0220]

Great game but I think this need still needs another good top 6 forward.

 

[Kranix]

atta boy Looch

Great game but I think this need still needs another good top 6 forward.

That's not the only problem I still do not trust the defense

Kylington is good for at least a couple giveaways

Hanifin and Hamonic are a joke at time

Great game but I think this need still needs another good top 6 forward.

This team could have six Milan "Soft Hands" Lucics in the top-6 and still the fans would want "another good top 6 forward."

The greed never ends.

Eichel feasted on that pair tonight. I think they had an xgf of 11% when playing him lmfao.

Also our only pair underwater possession wise. What a surprise.

 

[Shawnofthedeadz]

While I think our schedule has been favourable to the new coach, I am glad he was rewarded for blending the lines. I felt that's a large part what made Bill successful in Calgary last year. The unpredictability for opponents and the new linemates internally so you couldn't play in auto mode. Our team tanked when we stopped doing this later in the season, in the playoffs and the start of this year. Hopefully, we keep this up.

 

[JPeeper]

Ward seems to have calmed the roster down a lot after a lot of players have seemingly been gripping the stick too hard. Monahan looked better, had 2 points, Gaudreau was quite good and had a goal. Backlund played while but is still stupidly snake-bitten.

Also, can Rittich also get a night off. I know we had a long break so of course he's getting this game, but the last thing this team needs is to burn him out for the last quarter of the year, especially since he's been our MVP this year.

 

[crackdown44]

I think we need to continue to play Hanifin with Hamonic

Really just only play those two together in all situations. Bench all the other defensemen

I lol'd when Looch scored a tick tak toe. Overall a pretty good game.. the 8 penalties is an issue and Hammonic is just a blackhole at this point. Hanifin and Andersen weree lights out together. Dube has definitely taken a step since last year.. if he can become a solid top 6 forward it would be a god send.

LA will be a test those d bags always show up to play us lol.

 

[SKRusty]

For the first time all season the entire team has shown up for a game. The whole this was a weak schedule is BS in that the only team that Buffalo has a similar record, Philly is one of the top teams and the Pens are always good with Malkin and Crosby... FYI they just shut out the Blues... Remember the reigning Stanley cup champs.

The parity in the NHL is insane so when you play 29 games before you have an outing where everyone shows it is going to be rough. You can see a huge shift in a few players demeanor that they like the change to Ward. NBow if the boys can ramp their games up until April we will be in good shape.

Just about 60 days since I posted here last and the energy is still so negative.

 

[Kranix]

Bogosian was the D man getting victimized on at least 3 of the goals. I know he's been out a while, but he looked bruuutal. Literally a pylon.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Lotta positives. I thought Backlund had his best game in a long time, and everyone else has mentioned most of the other names, but I wanted to throw his name out there too.

Full credit to ScrewOfficiating, Monahan's winger goal was great

Repair your frayed relationships with this one weird trick (purple gatorade).

Blame the fans...the team is full of positives in the last 60 days

Liked the hustle by Kylington on this play when his stick breaks.

Also lol when he tries to kick a breakout pass:

 

[Kranix]

Monster sequence by Kylington. Start getting pumped!!! He was Pierre's monster of the game for sure.
