GDT: Flames vs Sabres - 5:30 PM - SNET960 - SNET West

Bennett!!!!

As an aside does anyone know how they hand out assists in the NHL. It seems that as long as you were on the ice in the last 5 minutes before a goal they will give you an assist.

Johnson clearly hit that puck out to Bennett with his stick how does anyone get an assist there?

It's interesting because the Pittsburgh scorers didn't give Gaudreau an assist last game when he got poke-checked. Poke checks are a bit of a grey area as to whether they represent controlled play of the puck or not. And usually with goalies I think they generally ignore their touches of the puck.

But if you want to see pity assists, watch an Oilers game in Edmonton. From Sam Gagner's "8-point night" to Connor McDavid's "100 point season" (which featured two phantom assists), they generally don't consider clearing attempts to be possession.

EDIT: Actually, looks like they did go back and retroactively credit Gaudreau with the assist. I thought it was a bit mean not to give him one on that play.

That rush right there is textbook Bennett, yet I don’t know what he has to change to make it better.

 

[Baxterman]

Not one person has lauded it as an accomplishment. Most people are just happy he scored. Only one person had something negative to say about this latest Janko goal.

And that person is a genius and was bang on in his assessment.

 

[Anglesmith]

Lmao get rekt #10.

 

[Tkachuky]

Chucky behind the net is sexy stuff

 

[Anglesmith]

I love how Tkachuk makes guys look like rookies defending savvy veterans, when usually they've been in the league for years longer than him.

 

[Anglesmith]

And that person is a genius and was bang on in his assessment.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Brady Tkachuk for Brodie.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Completely forgot this was an early game. Glad we had a good first

 

[Deen]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Brady Tkachuk for Brodie.

Brodie wouldn't return Tkachuk. We are more likely to lose Matthew because he wants to play with his brother than get Brady.

 

[Baxterman]

Plus Brady isn't close to worth Brodie.

I would much rather use Brodie to get us a player that will actually help the team, not a guy that has a last name that we like.

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh no, we've caught the penalty Doug.

 

[Anglesmith]

Impressed Jankowski didn't get caught there.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Rittich!! Hopefully he can get his game back on track.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Love that pf move there by Dougie.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Gio!

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh Chad. You're too kind.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Giordano has one of the filthiest shots in the west.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

G G G G Baby Baby

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

It’s about time we got some weak goals

Nvm- that was Girgensons

 

[Tofveve]

Gio baby!I

 

[Mobiandi]

Ocho was always a Flames fan

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Mony!!

 

[MonaHan Solo]

What a goal.

Wow.

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh very nice, very nice.
