GDT: Flams @ Nucks Volume 3: The Consistently Inconsistent Flames (8:00 PM)

[DFF]

Good thing is the extra point only hurts the Canucks tank.


Maybe ward is a f***ing genius

You guys had control of the puck in a 5on4 situation and basically dumped the puck in. Thanks for the point

4d chess making you draft higher

Anything to keep Benning at the helm.

With the new rule, Lindholm's skate doesn't have to be making contact with the blueline upon the entry. It has to be in the same plane with it. So as long as any part of his skate blade hovers above the line, it's onside

He asked Oiler level descriptions.

Johnny got me feeling blessed

Have you seen those jerseys they are clearly colour blind

Me to Van fans after their excitement with their team tying it under a minute earlier:

Great no look feed from Mony here.


Phat Ras was great tonight. Jussy V struggled on the PP but was otherwise really solid. Mackey had some good moments gaining possession but some brutal penalties. Still want to see Kylington.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Buddy thanks for coming out. Only 3 mins of ice time lol

 

[Mobiandi]

This was a bad game. Hopefully Backlund comes back on Wednesday so we can shuffle the forward lines and get it going. Gaudreau's hasn't been this deadly since 2019 and we've seen this story from Monahan too many times before. Tkachuk is still fighting it hard while Lindholm is a goal machine right now. Separating those duos is a must

 

[Bounces R Way]

Lindholm was godly tonight. That penalty what is he going to do, Myers is already in full timber mode.

Buddy thanks for coming out. Only 3 mins of ice time lol

Ouch. Hope he got some nice hotel towels out of the deal.

 

[Mazatt]

That game was enjoyable from start to finish aside from the penalties. Mackey is apart of that, but otherwise he isn't bad. Looks comfortable and there's no part of his game that stands out as poor. Even for a game where I thought Gaudreau struggled handling the puck he finds ways to make himself dangerous. Tkachuk also looked engaged. All in all it was a classic bounce back game from the team, and being able to reconnect with a 3rd line that works, and actually putting Mangiapane into the top 6 were the big things. I don't think Mangi necessarily caused them to preform well, but I think that his play is a lot more suited to the grind, cycle, dish style of play that Tkachuk thrives on. I just love Mangiapane no matter what.

 

[Tkachuky]

I don't get how the new off-side rules makes that okay. Explain it to me like I cheer for the Oilers?

F u . Did I explain it well?

 

[Bounces R Way]

Love Lucic, Iginla who.

Just quoting this so this gets more love.

James Neal sucks.

Lucic > Neal

Thanks for the 3rd.

No one wants Neal for free.

Boy, I was super pissed off when they tied the game.

Cheered up considerably when we scored the winner.

I do not understand giving the puck to them so willingly with the PP. I don't think I will ever understand.

I don’t think Mackey deserves to come out of the line up. Fairly solid play minus the penalties. All the other defence men are playing decent, minus Giordano, whom will not get benched.

Would another (competent) coaching staff play Kylington as a 7th D since Buddy/Rinaldo/etc hardly play?

You could tailor the defence’s minutes more appropriately and give well performing forwards a few extra shifts.

 

[DFF]

The Flames actually was the worse team in all 3 games so far to a lottery team. Luckily the canucks have the 2nd best goalie. You have to be blind to think ward is making progress

not sure if I want to celebrate

kylington can probably play better forward than those guys

Obviously a better effort than Saturday, but that isn't saying much. This dump and chase stuff doesn't work well for most of our team.. I feel it works for lines 2 and 3, while line 1 gets crushed when they do it. Also, not a huge fan of how our D scheme is just to collapse and keep shit to the outside, as it gives up the zone way to easy, while the other team clogs the zone and kills our breakout. We're really lucky to have Markstrom, as he's buying us time to figure shit out, which can't be said for Edmonton and Vancouver.

Seriously. This team has maybe 3 wins without Markstrom.

 

[Body Checker]

Aside from the penalties I’ve actually really liked Mackey’s game. He’s made some great outlets and a nice pass to Andersson in the OZ.

Id be more upset with Johnny for the one stupid penalty than any of Mackey’s.

I agree. Just his 2nd game in NHL ever and you can see the confidence increase from game one to game two. He looks and carries himself like an NHLer. He also looks bigger than 6'2" to me. I really like our size back on D. If Mackey can emerge and with Nesterov, Kylington and Stone in the press box maybe Brad will actually trade for a top 9 forward this trade deadline instead of grabbing more defencemen.
