GDT: Game 4 Flames (2-1-0) @ Blues (0-1-1) 6:00 pm MT (Sportsnet Flames/ Fan960)

[Unlimited Chequing]

Holy, if Matty had gotten that that would have been a beauty

 

[Anglesmith]

St. Louis defence: *pushes Tkachuk into the goalie*
St. Louis defence: "Hey! Get off our goalie!"

 

[FlamerForLife]

Man if only those 3 posts had gone in.
1st and 2nd were horrible but I like the fight back here in the 3rd.

 

[Shawnofthedeadz]

I wonder if Gaudreau is still feeling the hits from against Nashville? He was hit more than normal that game.

 

[Tkachuky]

Brodie has been solid out there. And boy is Valimaki good!

Even though we will lose this one, I like the push back we had. Wouldn’t have seen this last year under Gulutzan

 

[Anglesmith]

I'm torn. Am I happy that in two of our games so far, we've been able to absolutely dominate and try to come from behind in the third, or am I sad that we can play that well, but have been completely flat for 40 minutes in two of the games?

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Man, I just love it with Chuky's right up to the net like that.

 

[Shawnofthedeadz]

Monahan has no luck this game

 

[Shawnofthedeadz]

Why no time out there?

 

[Mobiandi]

I actually liked our game tonight. Better than those moral victories from last season. But you won't win many games in the NHL when your best skaters are at their worst

 

[FlamerForLife]

Good push in the 3rd, now just play that way for the full 60 on saturday

 

[super6646]

Well, good effort in the third, but we need to play like that a full 60 minutes next time. Well at least we have our positive goal differential still. Now lets kick Colorado's ass on Saturday.

 

[Anglesmith]

I'm not overly annoyed with losing to St. Louis, because they're a good team and they did play pretty well tonight. But the Flames had great chances in this game start to finish, and fantastic and timely PP opportunities and a penalty shot, so to see the game slip slowly away while we miss chance after chance like that is very annoying.

Colorado is another very good team, so I'm nervous for Saturday.

- first line was a let down
- neal has been an anchor
- very undisciplined
- Gio often gassed- concerning
- 5 on 3

- really liking Vali and Ander, they make mistakes but that is expected
- this team can score
- this team can fight back
- Rittich is more than a back up, play him more
- Sam Bennett

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I know a lot of this is Lindy, but that Bennett, Lindy and Backlund looked so sick.

I’d be fine with rolling with that as a line and putting Chucky on the topline.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Can't play one period and expect to win. Better come out with some intensity on Saturday.

 

[JurassicTunga]

They had quite a few chances to make this game look different. Couple bounces here, hit some posts there etc. Just didn't want to go their way tonight. The Flames kept pushing and didn't fold after being down. Held that belief that they might come back when that wasn't the case last year.

Win on saturday to make this a solid road trip.

And take so many penalties...

 

[Mobiandi]

Valimaki's getting better with every game. Has some cojones joining the rush during a PK. Wish he would stop getting beat on the outside so much.
Andersson needs to move the puck quicker.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

This is the second time in two games Gaudreau has gotten laid out on a zone entry. This needs to stop. The book is out on us

bring back Joe Colborne? He used to be pretty good at carrying the puck in with his puck protection.

And then after that he can run back to the bench and play about as many minutes as Peluso did.

 

[Bounces R Way]

And take so many penalties...

Also this. Hopefully also the goalie doesn't giftwrap one for the other team.

Least the rest of the Pacific lost tonight . Other than Van

Giordano looks fine.

 

[joescores]

Too soon BUT we are still missing some pieces to make this team a valid, regular PO contender. I haven't noticed Hanifin a lot in this game. He has to play with urgency game after game.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

How did Smith play?

 

[joescores]

Giordano looks fine.

Not to me but hopefully you are right.
