Heiskanen on the PP

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

The Flames may never score again

Bishop was never this injured in Tampa. I don't know what the hell happened to him

I don't think he was injured this much, as in he wasn't in and out of games every other week, but he did have some injuries at the most inopportune times.

First one that comes to mind was his injury before the 2014 playoffs, which left Lindback in the nets for Tampa, who had the Bolts go kerplunk in a round one sweep to the Habs.

Two others that comes to mind are the 2015 SCF (forgot what was wrong with him, but he was playing with a torn something or another and had surgery at the conclusion of the year) when he appeared to be laboring for much of the ECF and the SCF, and I'm pretty sure he didn't even start one of the games. I know Vasilesvskiy started one game in that SCF. Even though he managed to stay on the ice for most of those playoffs, his performance was sandbagged because of an injury.

Then the 2016 playoffs. He was injured in game 1 (I think?) of the ECF against Pittsburgh and never came back. Vasilevskiy did a pretty good job that round, so I don't think he would have helped them much. I think that was just Pittsburgh's year. That was probably the most perfectly and masterfully run and executed team that we saw this decade. How they badly outshot and crushed some pretty good teams like Tampa and San Jose, with only goaltending making the scores close for the opposition in a lot of those games.

The Flames may never score again

Don't worry.

Sharks are on the schedule next week.

 

[koyvoo]

MacKinnon with two points tonight and a period left to play up to 94 pts on the year now.

Would love to see him hit 100 too.

 

[Bleedred]

Malcom Subban is so bad. What a shame.

Yes, yes he is.

Subban is really just one more piece of ammo to use for the ''Don't draft goalies in the first round'' argument. Is he the most recent goalie picked in the first round? I know Vasilesvskiy was picked a handful of spots ahead of him in the same draft, but I'm not sure if he's the most recent first round pick goalie or not?

They way we have played, especially against McKinnion pencil it in for the 10 minute mark of the third.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

This was a topic on the Lightning board from Monday's game, but, as I said there, what I probably appreciate the most about Jack is that he treats his viewers like adults. He's a homer, as you would expect on a regional broadcast, and of course he's more prone than most to hyperbole, whatever the reasons for that may be, but he's always called the game as he's seen it and, if the Bruins opponent is playing an excellent game, if someone scores a beautiful goal, if the B's themselves are playing poorly, whatever, he doesn't sugarcoat it.

There are plenty of things you can criticize Jack for, but his ability to be fair towards opposing teams has never been in question.

Plus, he puts in yeoman's work to make sure he knows who the opposing players are, and how to pronounce their names. If I heard Doc Emrick call Conor Clifton "Clifford" one more time I was gonna throw my iPad out the window.

 

[Former Referee 68]

f*** Hrudey is Really Really bad!

 

[Glove Malfunction]

Malcom Subban is so bad. What a shame.

There was a lot of bitching from bruins fans when Subban got claimed. I wasn't that distressed. I don't think he's technically sound enough to be consistently good at this level.

 

[koyvoo]

1:30 left in regulation and Brodie pulls the flames to within 1.

Oettinger in 2017
Samsonov is 2015
Vasilevsky and Subban in 2012

The Flames may never score again

and then they did

 

[DJJones]

80 shots and 1 goal.

Wtf. Oh well, purge the system now. Hopefully Monahan remembers how to play hockey.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Stars pretty much made the playoffs tonight.

 

[c9777666]

Stars pretty much made the playoffs tonight.

Which is amazing to think considering their offense is not what it once was.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Dallas just lulls teams to sleep. Amazing because they were the polar opposite a couple years ago.

 

[Pia8988]

Subban shows why he was drafted so high though. Athleticism leading to saves like that.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Which is amazing to think considering their offense is not what it once was.

This is true, however there goaltending and D has improved miles beyond what it was.

Maybe one day they'll get everything on the same page lol

 

[kducks]

So close

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Vegas came so very close to tying that game up. If the Sharks don't take advantage of Vegas and Calgary losing, they don't deserve Home Ice.

 

[hangman005]

Clinching and Elimination Scenarios for 27th March

	Will be eliminated if they lose to Toronto in regulation	Still in the Hunt
	Will clinch a playoff spot if EITHER of the following happen: 1) Win against Colorado 2) OT or shootout loss against Colorado	Did Not Clinch
	Will clinch a playoff spot if Vegas defeat Colorado in regulation	Did Not Clinch

Doesn't help that Subban shit the bed tonight. He's been better lately but at least two of the goals he let in were easily stoppable.

 

[c9777666]

Flames lock up at worst home ice in round 1.

First time they don’t start a series on the road since 2006

 

[El Travo]

Doesn't help that Subban **** the bed tonight. He's been better lately but at least two of the goals he let in were easily stoppable.

It's nice running into a below average goaltending performance for once.
