GDT: Flyers @ Flames, December 4 @ 7:00 - The "Nuke Everything" Edition

[Tofveve]

This is our catching up to games played game. We need a win.

Also, we had a great second half of 3rd but I'd like to see us firing on all cylinders earlier in the game. Including our top line.

Goah Flam!

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Meat and potatoes.

Well that's just gravy.

 

[Skobel24]

I do think the third line steps up again this game. Another 2 goals from them.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Just cheering for Gaudreau points at this point.

This team will be mediocre for this cores existence unless they get a coach that can get everyone to settle down and stop making ridiculous mistakes. That won't happen.

That's not just a coaching issue. This also falls on the team leaders.

But if losing makes you happy then good for you I guess?

I want to see Brodie with Stone, Hamonic with Kulak.

I'd like to see the lines that were producing late in Saturday's game, and move Brodie back with Giordano.

We didn't really have that great a second half of the 3rd, to be honest. We didn't generate a lot of high quality chances, but a lot of low-quality chances went in thanks to Brossoit. They didn't generate anything, but the fact that they were defending a lead probably led to them changing the way they played.

It looked like we had some fire though, which was good. But you're right in that we did get a lot of bounces and they starting playing like the Lottery-pick Oilers for awhile there.

It reminded me of the Flames/Ducks series last year with roles reversed. The Flames not really playing well or generating anything, but scoring a bunch of goals anyway.

 

[Volica]

Would love to get a full 60 minutes; I don't think there's a team this year who's under-performed as much as Calgary has so far. Too much talent to be having dud games.

Gio, Smith and the top 6 are playing well. Can't really ask for more from the leaders.

This is starting to fall on the backs of Management and Coaching Staff. It's the Jay Bouwmeester "Best D in the league" enigma that we all know and love so much.

That sounds like a good analogy . . . I still say for 5 - 7 minutes they showed some passion. Bennett looked possessed. Johnny was flying. It was nice to see some emotion. Even though it was too little too late.

 

[Mobiandi]

Would love to get a full 60 minutes.

I'd like to see one at home. This team completely folds for periods at a time when playing in the Dome. Only 60 minute effort we've seen so far that I can remember is the Blues game

 

[Flameshomer]

Excited to see Brodie get walked for the 100th time this season tonight! For someone who skates so well he is often way out of position.

 

[Fig]

I'd like to see the Glender mix up those D-pairings. Clear they're not really working on a consistent basis

I like this nick name.

 

[Mobiandi]

I like this nick name.

Pretty sure I saw someone else use it here before so i can't take the credit for it

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I'd like to see Gio-Brodie, Hamonic-Hamilton, Stone-Kulak.

 

[Mobiandi]

Gio-Brodie
Stone-Hamonic
Kulak-Hamilton

Roll the pairings evenly

 

[Volica]

Gio-Brodie
Stone-Hamonic
Kulak-Hamilton

Roll the pairings evenly

That middle pair would get hammered, spending most of the night in their own end.

 

[Lunatik]

Someone has to eventually be the team that loses to Philly

As someone who likes to watch the world burn, well played my man, well played

 

[Flameshomer]

Hamilton > Brodie in their respective times beside Gio. Not sure why everyone is so hard up on splitting up a pair that is tops in the league statistically just because one guy can't remember how to play defense.

Put Brodie on the third pair, maybe he'll wake the f up.

Gio-Hamilton
Kulak-Hamonic
Brodie-Stone

Last pairing gets just north of 15 mins.

 

[Anglesmith]

Calgary and Philly have lost in regulation the same number of times. Interesting.

 

[Mobiandi]

That middle pair would get hammered, spending most of the night in their own end.

I actually think the third pairing would be weaker.

Imo the second pairing has the worst puckmovers, but that could be fixed with better support by our forwards. They're our most positionally sound and physical Dmen after Gio and also both possess heavy shots. Stone's is more accurate, though.

 

[MonarchFlames]

They are playing Oilers on Wednesday

They are playing us today. Pretty sure Flames are known for ending streaks like this.

Maybe we win.... hopefully!

 

[Calculon]

The only way you'd see the LR defensive pairing switched for any significant length of time (i.e. more than two games) is if Gulutzan is fired and the new coach doesn't pointlessly limit his own options.

Should that day arise:
Giordano-Brodie
Hamonic-Hamilton
Kulak-Stone

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Yeah the fact we haven’t put Brodie with Stone yet is bordering on insanity.

 

[Mr Snrub]

I am going to this one and I am 2 for 2 this season.

A winner is us.

Gaudreau hat trick.

I am going to this one and I am 1 for 1 this season.

A winner is us.

Bennett hat trick.

A Bennett hat trick AND a Gaudreau hat trick??
