Johnny puts on a show against his hometown team

 

[koyvoo]

Tkachuk 4 assists

 

[Paper]

Man Philly handed that game away on a silver platter. Why stop playing after two periods?

When did they even start playing? If not for Smith this is an easy Flames win, but some bad goals and luck really. What 4 goals on 7 shots in the second?

 

[GodPucker]

That's some fun hockey.. not that trap garbage.

Yup not the trap garbage that gets 6 and 7 goals in games lol.

I call the Flames style the "Pray like hell you comeback" strategy

So glad Giroux didn't see the ice in OT. Great coaching.

Calgary is still top 10 in GA. It's having the skill to not die when they go down, which will happen. Calgary controlled the play most of the game.. It's the goaltending that will f us.

Practice for when the league moves to two halfs?

Don't want to nitpick but Gaudreau is Jersey born and raised.

 

[Bounces R Way]

What a comeback wtf.

Johnny Gaudreau is amazing. So is Tkachuk. I love this team.

Isnt Philly like right beside Jersey?

 

[aufheben]

Don't want to nitpick but Gaudreau is Jersey born and raised.

South Jersey is Flyers Country to be fair.

Gaudreau says playing for Flyers someday 'would be sweet'

He grew up 40 miles away and was a Flyers fan.

 

[flamesforcup]

Ye he also retweets Philly 76ers stuff so i think he identifys more with Philly.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Flyers Grasping defeat from the clutches of Victory.

Flames are a deus ex machina personified.

 

[Skolman]

Johnny puts on a show against his hometown team

Uh....

 

[flamesforcup]

Uh....

Hes a Flyers/76ers fan.

Grew up right next to Philly. There just happened to be a state line in the way but it was basically still a Philly suburb

 

[qwerty]

This Flames team is truly something else. Comeback kids are back.

 

[Skolman]

Hes a Flyers/76ers fan.

That doesn't mean he's from Philadelphia though... not that I really care though. I just knew he wasn't born in Philly.

 

[koyvoo]

Flames look to be only team in west that might challenge Nashville or Winnipeg for supremacy

 

[Tkachuky]

Yup not the trap garbage that gets 6 and 7 goals in games lol.

Just give up already... we get it. You hate the Flames.

 

[Snakepit]

Goaltending made that game look closer than it really was. Stolarz was awesome for the Flyers and Smith was terrible for Calgary

 

[Paper]

Uh....

Facepalm

He grew up 30 minutes from Philadelphia and has family there. You really think he identifies with the Newark team that was another hour and a half away?

 

[flamesforcup]

That doesn't mean he's from Philadelphia though... not that I really care though. I just knew he wasn't born in Philly.

The NJ Border is right beside Philly. The Devils are way further away from him. Its like someone in Airdrie saying they are from Calgary not that big of a difference.

 

[Noisia]

Gaudreau is a huge Eagles fan.
