GDT: Jan 19: Flames @ Kings [8:30pm MT: Sportsnet]

[Anglesmith]

Luckily, the other thing they warned us about, his tendency to blame other players for losses, has not carried over. At least not to my knowledge.

It has a little. He let in a few softies in Anaheim and he cost us a game against Chicago and all he said was that the players need to work harder. Never took any real responsibility for either.

To be honest though, with such a general statement like that (from Hiller) it can be construed in many ways. Obviously he isn't taking the responsibility himself directly in that statement, but the statement can be interpreted as the whole team (including himself) needs to step up, or he is blaming the team.

Let's hope the Flames win this one in regulation?

If we just keep playing the way we've been playing as of late, we should win this one easily. Using our speed, drawing penalties, forechecking, great defense.

I don't take LA lightly though, they can have those random games where they just turn it on and light it up. Toffoli and Pearson out is a huge loss for them, though.

 

[Anglesmith]

My deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. It is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Jooris has been activated, but he isn't playing tonight. No empty spot on the roster anymore.

It's going to be weird seeing 2 roster players scratched on a normal basis. I didn't consider McGrattan one. Creates more competition .

 

[Anglesmith]

Never mind. Glencross to IR so we do have an empty roster spot.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Kings fans already starting the "DESTROY GAUDREAU" posts. Still waiting for it to happen.

Its bizarre. As much as I hate say the Canucks or the Oilers, I have never hoped for one of their players to get injured. :/ Pretty classless stuff.

Hoping for a 1-0 Flames victory. Quick needs to have a good game for the sake of my fantasy team.

From the GDT:

Hope somebody absolutely wrecks that Johnny Ego kid with a monster hit.

Yeah, he sure has shown that he has a huge ego.

Inb4 Gaudreau's second career hat trick.

 

[King In The North]

Yeah good luck with that. Kings lineup looks slow as hell.

Probably because it's against site rules, right?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Johnny Karma?

Kings fans gonna Kings.

 

[Volica]

Kings fans gonna Kings.

LA Fans are like Chicago fans.
They're the same dudes wearing Heat Jerseys last year, same 20-somethings that the Avs, Yanks/Bo Sox and Pats were their 'favorite team growing up'.

Bandwagoneers gonna bandwagon.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Probably because it's against site rules, right?

Yes because if there is one thing I am known for its following the rules.

 

[Master Bill]

If you have a fanbase mostly consisting of petulant bandwagoners, you will have a hard time finding class from them. I wonder how many of them had a good idea of Rob Blake as a Kings player.

 

[Skobel24]

Let them have their fun while it lasts. LA's time as a contender is closing fast.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Woah! Watch out guys. We gotta badass over here!

I once took a pizza out of the oven without a mitten. #watchout #dangerous

That's one thing I really like about the Flames board. With the majority of the Flames fans on Calgary Puck, it's become a tight knit community.

I do that all the time, actually. Don't want to risk getting cheese and **** on my pizza. I also don't use a pan though, I place it directly on the rack. This way, the crust gets a nice crispy texture to it, and the grease and oil doesn't build up in it.
