[Official] Adirondack Flames Thread (Also some ECHL talk)

[Johnny Hoxville]

I think I watched a Blue Jays game that had that promotion and you could hear yelping and barking throughout the game.

Are you sure it was dawgs, or was it Lawrie's fan club?

Pretty crazy game right now, Flames just tied it 5-5 late in the second, playing the SA Rampage.

Flames still scoring an absurd amount of goals with the numerical advantage. Apparently this is the second game in a row with 3 PPGs for the Flames.

Looks like the team is finally done hot-dogging it.

Really physical game. Baertschi has had some good chances. He got robbed on a backdoor pass on the PP. Ferland loooks great.

Thanks!

Knight makes it 7-6 Little Flames. I think Baertschi gets an assist as well.

Great play by Baertschi. He needed that one.

Wotherspoon with a great play. He looks NHL ready.

 

[Lunatik]

WIN!!

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

YES!!!!! Take that WOP!!

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Happy to see Sven and Reinhart on the scoreboard. Ferland with another two, I'm impressed.

 

[Gritty]

Question for AF:

What line is Baertschi on? And who are his line-mates?

 

[Wheels of Poirier]

It bears mentioning that the A-Flames are 6/13 on the PP over the past two games (46.2%), with 3 PP goals in either game; it's one thing to get the chances, and another to capitalize on them.

YES!!!!! Take that WOP!!

Ugh you guys are gonna be the death of me lol I swear he does that dance over my dead body after murdering me in my nightmares, the cold b**tard haha

Question for AF:

What line is Baertschi on? And who are his line-mates?

they have been changing a bit more. To start he was with Max Reinhart and Bryce Van Brababant and were being used as the top line to start the year. Recently he has been playing with Corban Knight and I have seen/heard Garnet Hathaway and Ben Hanowski on the RW.

Speaking of Hanowski he missed a few games while banged up, but he has 5 points in 5 games (albeit last night was a 4 point effort for him)

The PP hasn't been an issue though, they were top 10 headed into the game last night. The problem is ES scoring. They have 14 goals at ES on the season and 6 of them came in their last 2 games. They are being outscored 25-14 at even strength on the year so far.

Another significant problem is their discipline and their PK, they are a league worst 71.4% on the PK and they manage to pair that up with being the 6th most penalized team.

That is definitely a major problem. Hopefully we'll see some discipline to go with the confidence with which they seem to have been putting the puck in the net the past couple games.

We've basically beaten the issue of +/- being an unreliable stat to death, but ugh hard to ignore Baertschi's team-worst -9.

Sven's probably being held down until the eventual Glencross trade/injury.

Next year's going to be really interesting when waiver exemption for some of these dudes ends.

 

[Johnny Danger]

can someone give me some news on baertschi? as i can read so far, he's playing well. but when i'm looking at his stats, he's pretty far from being called up or even being a scoring-thread in the AHL

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Francis is an idiot, but I didn't think the article was terrible. It was mostly just an update on his progress, which hasn't been much.

Poirier's back, and he's already scored.

Ortio just got pulled. Kinda worried about the guy.

 

[Wheels of Poirier]

Poirier, encore un fois!! Cuts the lead in half..

Edit: ...aaand Utica answers right back. 5-2 now.
