The Flames have 5 point-per-game players

[Rubi]

They will be beat in 7 games come playoffs.

I am not even sweating them come playoff time.

So you say, but your picture tells a different story.

How is Buff doing? Laine still underachieving?

Heh. Cute.

Flames don't even need five ppg players to beat the Jets.

Johnny Gaudreau has 18pts in 13 games for a career 9-3-1 record against Winnipeg. Seeing Trouba, Buff and co try to contain him is always hilarious.

Well, I guess there was that one time Hellebuyck stood on his head.

Regular season champions of the world means absolutely nothing in April.

Arrogant teams that think they can't lose never go far in the playoffs.

Ironically, you saying the Jets are not worried about the Flames, is arrogant.

I never said that the Jets have to put you guys out.

Don't take your division so lightly and think that the Flames will just steam roll them or they are easy outs.

Ironic because Jets fans all summer were telling everyone how great they were and how they were going to be in the finals this year and how they're the best team in Canada.

I wish you all the best as your annointed team tries to get its tenth playoff win in franchise history.

No one took our division lightly. Vegas and San Jose are two of the last three SCF runner ups with Nashville being the other. Anaheim is also a dangerous team when the likes of Perry and Kesler and Getzlaf are healthy. Dallas is a team that could really explode when Klingberg Benn Seguin and Bishop all find a groove.

The only team being taken lightly in the west is Winnipeg as they are a team of pretenders who think having a hyped up version of Monahan, a poor man's Kovalchuk, and a winger playing top pair defense makes them the cup frontrunners. Wouldn't be shocked if the Stars sweep them out of round 1.

Weren’t you guys the self-proclaimed best team in the west? We’re well aware that April is a different story.

Vegas and San Jose are legit.

They are not easy outs in the playoffs.

You're the only arrogant here. Believing in your team doesn't make you arrogant. Discrediting other teams like you did is arrogant.

Woah I still don't get your hate for Winnipeg. They had excellent metrics last season and dominated Vegas, goaltending was a big factor in their loss. This season they aren't as dominant, but they're still a great team nevertheless. Stars aren't a good team, Seguin is overrated offensively, Benn is declining, and Klingberg is great and overall underrated but he's still a Dman that isn't elite in tough situations. Goaltending is a mixed bag. Also all WOWY stats and eye test indicate Scheifele is the offensive and defensive catalyst of that line, Connor was the one dragging them down this and last season, and Ehlers seems to be struggling to get going consistently offensively.

 

[Tical]

Idk man, your eye should be telling you that Connor is actually excellent, and has been snakebite quite a bit this year. I've watched nearly every single Winnipeg game this season, and believe me, Connor is not among their few problems

A) Most Flames fans know that playoffs are a different beast

B) Imagine thinking fan mentality on an online forum has any bearing whatsoever on how a professional ice hockey team will perform in the post season lol

I've never heard a single Flames player say they can't lose so I don't know why you believe they're arrogant.
The irony in your post is outstanding.

Are you trying to convince us or yourself?

Most Flames fans see still in shock and just enjoying the ride. I don't think I've ever heard a Flames fan say they are even favorites for the cup.

 

[Khrox]

Healthy Monahan has been huge. For some reason he's one of those guys who's play seems to significantly deteriorate when playing hurt.

You say deteriorate significantly despite putting up multiple 60 point seasons injured. I figure, if he was healthy the last 2 seasons, it may have been around +10-12 points. While that is a big amount, the fact that he's putting up 60 points while injured means it's probably not significant deterioration. If he were to get injured and drop to like 40-45 points, I'd agree with you there.

Well he's healthy and look at the pace he's on now. When he's been injured he's pretty noticeably impaired. When he's healthy and feeling it he's hella dangerous. He's got that great intuitive sense around the net and that shot that seems to find it's way past goalies, a little bit like Bossy.

God I wish I could save this as my post signature... for all and sundry to read forever. Not often you see such effusive praise from WhiskeyYourTheDevils about Sean Monahan.

Great to see but we are still waiting for reports form Rock and Scissors.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Split up Lindy onto the 2nd line and he produced 2 points.. I thought he needed Johnny to be effective?
