GDT: [Nov. 5: 800pm/CBC & SN1] Calgary Flames @ Los Angeles Kings

[Johnny Hoxville]

No goalie in the HISTORY of our sport could keep us in the game at this point, with the defence laps and the turnovers.

That might be an exaggeration. I mean even Hiller stole a complete blow out in Chicago. Price probably could as well.

 

[Calculon]

Until Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan and Giordano get going, this is pretty much going to be the story of the season - one to two strong games where the team is carried by their depth followed for 2 to 3 games where they're blown out. Wouldn't hurt if the coaching staff would stop dressing Grossmann or figure out how get the special teams looking respectable for once.

The fact that this is a cap team is quite sad. As is the fact that it's a very, very weak draft. Not much to look forward to.

 

[DFF]

Have you watched the game? He is keeping them in it. The only people to show up tonight were the tkabackfro and maybe Gio.

I feel bad for Elliot tonight.

I am watching the game alright.

I dont see the Flames in the game

I mean probably is. but I still think my point stands.
our defensive coverage and IQ with passing is so bad even a Prime Hasek or Roy would of allowed some goals.

 

[DFF]

So GG strategy of playing 8 dmen on the roster is working

We saw a lot of these teams in the Iginla Era too. Sad.

 

[GAMO1992]

Is the whole draft considered weak? Or is the 1st round good, but the overall depth is poor? Or does it just lack elite players?

 

[GAMO1992]

well.....c'est la vie

edit that looked high

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Nice pass Brodie..

 

[MonaHan Solo]

For **** sakes pull Elliott. He doesn't deserve this.

 

[lightstorm]

Brodie again FFS

I think it could turn out ok, certainly not as strong as the last few for skaters at the top end, but should be a strong year for goalies.

The latter I believe. The projected top pick in Nolan Patrick is being compared to the likes of Nugent-Hopkins and Ryan Johansen; good players but not franchise changing like Matthews, Stamkos, Tavares, etc.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Ehh, at least goal scoring is up?

No McDavid...the Flames need one of those

 

[Mobiandi]

wow can't wait for double digits in Anaheim

 

[Ace Rimmer]

At least he's a RH Shot...

 

[lightstorm]

Grossman might be the slowest player in the league AINEC

 

[GAMO1992]

Kulak got burned bad there.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

One positive this game is that Bennett hasn't had a penalty.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

Grossman might be the slowest player in the league AINEC

I want to have a skating race with him.

 

[GAMO1992]

I have no words for how awful we have been tonight.

 

[FlamerForLife]

The world's best power play gets a chance here

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Atta boy Brouwer. Show them how it's done.
