Great game. Two good teams battling. Lots of action. Go Flames

 

[Rubi]

GG Flames. Top of the conference for you.

Thank you

 

[Armourboy]

Flames depth is definitely their strength right now. 3/4 of their goals tonight are from guys that aren't even in the lineup if they're fully healthy

Playing against a team minus it's two best wingers, #2 center and a top Dman certainly helps.

 

[flamesforcup]

Man Gaudreau is so good. We are so lucky to have such an entertaining player. He is getting really underrated this year too

 

[Tobias Kahun]

His stick sure did. I'm sure there's video out there.

Dumba had like 2 seconds to line this up. You can't tell me that's the only hit he can throw or that he couldn't avoid the head.

Arm tucked, what is he supposed to do? And I like how you got a picture of after contact, Dumba didn't leave his skates until after contact, cause of a thing called physics.

Both teams are missing key players. Not a good excuse.

 

[Bounces R Way]

The Predators were honestly very very good tonight. The Flames were just better. Crazy to think both teams are missing some key players.

 

[Armourboy]

Both teams are missing key players. Not a good excuse.

Yeah the players missing, not exactly on the same level.

 

[Rubi]

Yeah the players missing, not exactly on the same level.

Ok sure. Have it your way

 

[tarapoto2006]

Lol the Flames number 1 d man and #2 center are also out and we have 4 AHLers in the lineup...

 

[Osprey]

The Calgary PA guy is playing Nashville's goal celebration song ("I like it! I love it! I want some more of it!") in the final minutes. That's just mean .

 

[Snakepit]

Yeah the players missing, not exactly on the same level.

Flames missing their best defensive centre, second best RWer, and half their defense, including their #1.

It's closer than you're giving them credit for

 

[Rubi]

Looking forward to the Oilers - Flames game tomorrow

 

[King In The North]

The Predators were honestly very very good tonight. The Flames were just better. Crazy to think both teams are missing some key players.

Crazy given how many of their guys were missing and they weren't missing a beat out there tonight.

 

[Armourboy]

Flames missing their best defensive centre, second best RWer, and half their defense, including their #1.

It's closer than you're giving them credit for

Nope

 

[tarapoto2006]

Nope

Well, when you put it that way...

 

[Paper]

Yeah the players missing, not exactly on the same level.

Agreed, Giordano is better than anything the Preds were missing. But give credit to the Predators, those are some very good players out of their lineup.

 

[DFF]

Playing against a team minus it's two best wingers, #2 center and a top Dman certainly helps.

lol they beat them when they were healthy also...

excuses are for losers

Not elevate into Backlund's head causing concussion. Not lead with his right shoulder. The NHL suspended Wilson for that same thing just last spring.

The NHL addressing brain injuries doesn't just fall on the league's office. The players need to be smarter in their approach to throwing the body as well. The onus is just as much on them if not more to have their fellow player's health as a priority.

 

[Keenan87]

Nope

What a sore loser. Just move on and get some sleep.

Don't worry, Nashville still has a very good chance of being first by the end of the seasons. Using injuries as an excuse is lame though.

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Big win over a quality team tonight, both teams missing key players

 

[Skolman]

Thank you

 

[SSJ3 Lunar]

Agreed, Giordano is better than anything the Preds were missing. But give credit to the Predators, those are some very good players out of their lineup.

You're right, everyone would pick Giordano over Forsberg, Arvy, and obviously Subban. Ridiculous.

GG Flames.

The onus is also on the player to not put himself in that position like backlund did.

 

[Snakepit]

Sooooo was Calgary playing Nashville's goal song near the end of the game a troll job or a coincidence? I've heard that song a lot at Calgary games but can't help but connect the dots in this case lol
