Coleman probably saying "thank god he tripped me"
BackhandlundExcellent game for the Flames. Marky was awesome, team looked solid. Nice work buys. Stupid sexy Backlund with his backhand.
Coleman had a breakaway on an empty net and was tripped from behind... and was awarded a goal.Was in the bathroom dropping the Oilers off at the pool and missed the Coleman goal, was it an EN?
Is Coleman leading the team in goals? Wowzers.
I posted this to the HoH thread of random statsHilarious how much more offensively effective our PK is compared to the PP.
After 32 games this season, the Flames best PP goal scorer has more SH goals than PP goals.
Yegor Sharangovich has 1 PP goal, and is tied with 10 other Flames for PP goal scoring. He has 2 SH goals.
Don’t think it’s as much of a management problem as much as a Ruzicka problem, here’s his pre-draft scouting report and it outlines everything we are still seeing to this day.I have to say (as maybe his biggest defender and proponent) Ruz has been pretty invisible for most of this season and even moreso the last while. I do think part of that is being relegated to the 4th line (he's more skilled than that IMO, not a bang-and-crash shut down opposition and dump the puck kinda guy), but at the same time I wish he'd find the gumpshkin to prove himself again. Sigh I think as I've said before it might be time to set him free. I hate to think management played such a role in his demise but he may have a pretty short career in the NHL at this rate. Maybe ultimately that was the fight Sutter and others were trying to get out of him. Whatever it still pisses me off as he did have several torid point stints in the first few years and would be rewarded with a trip back the AHL or the press box, eventually regular time on the 4th line. Again a lot of this seems the result of mismanagement and ruined confidence and manhood (yikes). Wish he could work himself back to what I (and many of us saw), but again maybe he did that and was rewarded the opposite so many times he's kind of a shell player a lot of the time now. Sad. I feel he's being given some leash on the 4th line now but it feels that could run out any day. Sigh again. So yeah, maybe just trade him and set him free.
Also I'm probably feeling it more because I've championed him and defended him so much. I hope there's something left to believe in there.
