GDT: Its after 3:00 PM and there's no Flames vs Isles GDT... so here it is.

[Rubi]

I think you can put this one in the win column

 

[Tofveve]

Lindy bless! Must have got a hand massage

 

[Tofveve]

Johnny breaking his 1 pt a game streak. 2 assists tonight.

 

[Mobiandi]

They won this with their B game tonight. Well-earned break ahead for the Flames

 

[JPeeper]

Flames only a point back of Vegas for the division lead with 3 games in hand to pass them. Still have 5 games on Anaheim LMAO and 2 on LA. Back to 7 points up on Edmonton.

 

[Dertell]

Much happier with the play after the first 30 minutes or so.

I think it's easy to see why, to be honest. They are playing a 0-chance game. They aren't pinching at all, aren't sending defencemen on the rush... they basically require the other team to make mistakes in order to do anything offensively. It's Glen Gulutzan hockey.

Trotz needs to make some adjustments, because I think the league may be catching on to how to beat them.

After we stopped choking on every entries they stopped generating anything.

To be fair though, they're on the last period of a b2b.

 

[Rubi]

25 GF and 9 GA in the last 5 games.

 

[Tofveve]

Could use a good 80085 flash about now. Almost one there.

 

[Dertell]

Quite happy I bet 10$ on this game.

 

[Boomstick]

Yay! Big 2 points. Keep it rolling Flames. Way to go boys.

 

[Tofveve]

Yeaaaahhhhh babieeeee!

 

[Tofveve]

Yay! Big 2 points. Keep it rolling Flames. Way to go boys.

Ditto that!

 

[Rubi]

Flames still trying to score that 6th goal even though there was less than a minute to play in the game. This team just doesn't take their foot off the neck even if they are comfortably in the lead.

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Everyone getting on the scoresheet tnite other than the usual suspects… Monahan, Dube, Ritchie to name the obvious ones

They want to hear the snap, crackle and pop before they stop

 

[Boomstick]

I kind of wish there was an After Hours. I really enjoy Scott Oake and his show.

 

[Igright]

One more win, one more step to the top of Pacific!

 

[Bounces R Way]

So used to this team fading down the stretch and having to scratch and claw to barely make/miss the playoffs. Not this year.

Darryl Thrusters are engaged.

As focused a hockey team as I've seen in a long time.

 

[Tofveve]

Honestly props to that old school Gudbranson tilt. That was a f***in old time scrap. Not the most fists to the nose but it was long and vicious intent was there.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Darryl Sutter hockey is the best.

 

[Tofveve]

Darryl Sutter hockey is the best.

I never thought I'd agree with this but amen.

 

[Rubi]

Darryl to Ruzicka:

Adam, why don't you move out of that hotel room and find yourself an apartment.

 

[Dack]

I thought Dube played good after his penalty. Set up Monahan a couple times but Monahan didn't do anything with it.

 

[JPeeper]

Flames need to find a way to acquire Toffoli to replace Ritchie on that 3rd line. I feel like Dube-Monahan-Toffoli would help Monahan (and Dube) pop out of their offensive funk. Ritchie is useless, literally; 20+ games and no points and a - player, like why is he still playing?

Is there a Kristian Huselius type player out there? I feel like he would be excellent for Monahan.

I totally expect Toffoli to be wearing Flames colors by the TDL unless Montreal's ask is completely out to lunch. However it wouldn't surprise me to see Monahan as part of the trade.
