Stoke me a clipper.
Flames Lines: Same as last time.
Sharks Lines: Dunno lol. Couple of epic beards though.
Go team! Defeat Shark!
Goes without saying that this is a big game
I watched that video for a good minute and a half before I realized it was a loop. Also it is a very poorly executed loop.
I am embaras. Go Flam
Very important game tonight. Flames have to do some leap-frogging to get back into the playoff picture.
Which is interesting seeing as we didn't lose last game in regulation, and we were in a playoff spot before that game.
As long as we stick together, as a team, we'll be alright.
On another note, does anyone else find it unfair how many games the Flames play at the Saddledome? We don't have a good record there, but we have to play there 41 times. No other team comes close to that many games at the Saddledome.
Hey, but on the other hand, he was a big part of Gaudreau being so high up in the scoring race in the first place. You win some, you lose some when your top line right winger is making $1.75M.Hope Ferland can get some finish back in his game.
He's single handily the reason that McDavid passed Johnny in scoring. So many glorious chances screwed up by Ferly lately.

Maybe, but the truth is that there aren't really many teams at all in the league that can load up the top line with true top line players and still have the depth to be a really good team. Basically every successful team out there organizes their lines with 'duos' and try to match a lesser third player with each duo. Even the best team in the league, Tampa, does this.That's true. I think it's clear he lacks the consistency to be relied on as the top LW.
We need someone who plays like Ferly did early on, all season. If this team wants to contend, which is clear since they don't have a 1st this draft, they need the top line playing like that all of the time. That has to be the expected level.
We won't get that with Ferland.
Hope Ferland can get some finish back in his game.

Yeah, it's not at all realistic to expect three bonafide first liners on the top line; how many teams around the league can actually boast that feat? Moreover the problem with the offense is not the first line, it's the second, third and fourth lines. They need another game breaking talent to share the load, so to speak. Either they can make a trade for one now/soonish or more prudently, wait until Tkachuk, Bennett and/or Jankowski break out.
Then maybe one day (i.e. next year) try something different
Tkachuk-Monahan-Frolik
Gaudreau-Jankowski-Ferland
Bennett-Backlund-XXX
Mangiapane/Klimchuk/Poirier-Lazar-Hathaway
Gaudreau - Monahan - RW
Tkachuk - Backlund - Ferland
Bennett - Jankowski - Hathaway
Klimchuk - Lazar - Frolik
I know some will claim putting Frolik on the 4th line is a waste, but I think Klimchuk is good enough for a defensive role, and Frolik could definitely mentor those two. You could even have Frolik at C with Lazar as the RW. Brouwer rotates in. I don't think we'll see Mangiapane next year, at least not at the start.
I would switch frolik and Hathaway. I think that third line has been dynamite since they’ve come together but sample size is still pretty small. Ultimately frolik probably makes them a bit more dangerous offensively
Poor execution is my specialty.I watched that video for a good minute and a half before I realized it was a loop. Also it is a very poorly executed loop.

Poor execution is a flames specialty.
Too bad I never did bother figuring out how to make it into a 10 hour loop.
