GDT: Tuesday in Nashville: October 14. Where's Johnny #2!

[GAMO1992]

this was probably the most entertaining period + 7 minutes of hockey I've seen since sometime last season. It was really open and fun.

Standouts:
Ramo, nothing needs to be said, guy is a thief as is 2nd job.
Colborne. Seemed really fired up this season, like he has a real big chip on his shoulder this season for whatever reason.
Gio-Brodie pairing. DO I even need to word?
Monahan was alright, looked strong, confident.
Seto had his best game as a Flame easily. Just needs to pot one and he'll really get it going.

Everyone else was 'meh'

I thought he was very good tonight

 

[Mitts]

Win-Won

Haha yes ! I get an abnormal amount of joy seeing Edmonton and Vancouver lose.

 

[Sean Monahan]

I thought he was very good tonight

yeah he looked so much faster than last year

and dat shot

He's another Logan Couture in the making boys, get stoked.

Oh I'm sure he was and usually is. I only got to see the 3rd period, and in that period he looked pretty good/alright. Nothing spectacular, but did his job and well. It was just so back and forth for most of that period that it was really hard to keep up with

3 - 2 Flames (OT)

Close enough...

Hi, Im Justin Schultz of your edmonton oilers, all games, all season long, on your oilers radio network.

He reminds me very much of Eric Staal.

(SO) CGY 3 - NSH 2: Ramo Steals the Flames Another Win

Another strong outing by Ramo.

Backlund, Brodie, Giordano continue to dominate.

Russell, Monahan and even Setoguchi played a great game.

Just not enough posts to justify a separate thread for PGT, FFF.

That's unfortunate. I'm disappointed.

 

[hockey diva]

The announced stars in the arena were: Forsberg, Ramo and Giordano.

 

[Sean Monahan]

He reminds me very much of Eric Staal.

Monahan doesn't really play the power game that Staal has though. Eric is a big boy.

 

[Boomstick]

Just got back from the game. Had a great time. Monahan looks big out there this year compared to when I saw him in Buffalo last year. Ramo was great, the goal Ribeiro scored was such a gift and a fluke.
Stajan looked upset in the third after a quick change took him to the bench.
It was great seeing Gaudreau up close. I think he's trying a bit too hard out there, but he's always hustling.
The third period was really entertaining. I only saw the replay on the reviewed goal, and on the scoreboard it looked like it was a goal. I'll have to read back and see what you all thought. Anyways, had a really good time. I'm going home on Friday and I may stop into Columbus for the game, that would be really cool.

I wouldn't classify Staal as a banger, but he does play more of a power game than Sean. But as Monahan continues to get stronger I think he will physically dominate games like Staal can. He's not there yet obviously, but he has many traits to his game that are similar, he's an imposing center, good on the dot, has a big shot, is a good playmaker, and plays a solid 2-way game. As you said his power game isn't quite at that level right now, but that may change over time. I love Monahan's mix of skill and 2-way play.

you just described Logan Couture

but the point is moot soon enough people will be comparing young big-sized centers with 2-way abilities to our Sean Once he's completely over the flu he'll be better too, scary.

Well I guess comparing him to either of those guys is excellent no matter what, I love that kid.

 

[CraigsList]

I hope Monahan follows the ways of Toews. And imo, I see a lot of similarities.

 

[Bouma Fett*]

With another strong game from Ramo, Hiller should be in good form tomorrow if he plays, this goalie battle is great

 

[WhereIsIt]

Wow that game took forever! I record 2hr 45 min and I didn't even make it to the end of regulation. No flow at all for the first two periods. Glad to see they pulled out a win in the shootout.

 

[1989]

Honestly, at this point I am hoping Ramo gets about 55-60 starts. He's just looked a little more solid in each and every game and the team responds to his play. The familiarity of building off last season is evident as well.

Nothing against Hiller - I wouldn't mind if he could take on a 40-game workload - but I am not seeing it right now.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Yeah, Ramo's totally earning his spot in the net going back to the middle of last season.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Props to Anglesmith with giving Ramo and Byron the recognition they deserve early on.

Pft lucky guess.

He was super right about Bryon.

A fair number of people, myself included have been firmly on the Ramo train for awhile.

 

[WhereIsIt]

Definitely. Byron in particular was written off at the start of the year by too many people for no good reason.
