GDT: Winnipeg Jets vs Calgary Flames August 1st Game 1 of best of 5 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Mud Turtle]

We haven’t played this badly and uninterested since our last playoff game. Remember that one?
pretty much a replay of that game.

 

[None]

They used to have Tanev and Lemieux...

Tanev was a bit of a diver but I'm not sure I'd consider him in the same group as players like Tkachuk or Lemieux.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Why do you assume they would want him? He’s done as an NHL player. Harkins would bring much more in almost every aspect

Is Wheeler done also cuz he looked worse. I mean it's cute to pile on a dude who gets 4th line minutes and God forbid allowed an ENG but.. Perreault on list of problems is likely number 12 on this list

 

[Teemusalami204]

What a f***ing embarrassment. That was a walk in the park for the Flames.

That's what happens when you replace size and aggressiveness with small skill.

I want to see some real change to this roster in the off-season, definitely not built for the playoffs.

Well at least we have a shot at Lafreniere, he wouldn't have mailed in the rest of the game.

Pathetic.

I posted before series started that we would be to soft and had alot of posters say I was wrong.

I hate to be right in this instance. But I've been saying it all year we are to soft.

 

[Jet]

The ENG didnt matter. Perreault was 1 of 4 guys who showed up tonight.

Really started to go to shit when 55 got hurt but got worse cuz maurice can't allow roslo to play center for more than 3 minutes or break up our 3rd line.

Lol yeah that was the problem, not the 6 dogshit PP's or our skill players wilting like flowers in a furnace.

 

[Evil Little]

I hope Tkachuk's grandparents already have a flaming bag of shit on their front walk, and more where that came from.

 

[Board Bard]

A slow heat seeking missle, Cuthbert

A slow pasta-seeking missile.

 

[rkp]

well, the oilers had their butts handed to them by the hawks....

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

We look nothing like that team. The exact opposite actually.

That was a hard hitting fast team, we are soft and were very slow tonight

I dont know what game you were watching

I disagree. We were throwing checks like crazy just for the hell of it, it was a terrible revenge-fest. There was no interest in the puck.

 

[robertocarlos]

Give Wheeler a break. He just left behind a house full of domestic chaos.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Lol yeah that was the problem, not the 6 dogshit PP's or our skill players wilting like flowers in a furnace.

It began when he took roslo away from Connor and Wheeler. Dude i get it.. Superfan but ffs. We got owned tonight. Tonight we were all cucks cuz we watched someone we love get owned.

5 on 5 was even. We just sucked horribly on special teams tonight.

It wasn't as bad a performance as most are making it out to be. That's what happens when you insist on low event hockey. You turn it into a special teams battle and we got hosed there tonight.

The Flames suck at preventing transition offense and we were back to our usual chipmand chase tonight.....

 

[John Agar]

I think they left their balls in their wives purse before they flew to Edmonton. lol

I hear Micro-Purses are all the rage...

 

[AlphaLackey]

Hey, look, it's simple. If I had a Rollerball team instead of a hockey team, and I had to try and beat a hockey team at hockey, I'd goon the shit out of them and try to make them play Rollerball too. It's a surprisingly brilliant plan for a team with a mean IQ of 94, but they pulled it off, and it's clear that was the MO of the only team that could give a paycheck to both a Tkachuk AND Lucic.

The only surprise is that it took Tkachuk two shifts instead of one, quite frankly.

And of course, I'm aware about board rules regarding expressing positive sentiment towards a player's injury, which SURELY is beneath any of us here, especially given Calgary's complete and total lack of EVER being such "going down swinging" goons.

In completely unrelated news, I'll post this completely unrelated hockey clip for completely unrelated luls.

 

[Teemusalami204]

Soft players can throw checks. Hell I can go out there and throw checks. Doesnt mean we are not soft.

We are WAY to soft to play big boy tough hockey, as soon as we tried the game went in Calgary's favor.

 

[DharmaBum]

Good thing I found this new mouth wash to get the bad taste of that game out of my mouth

 

[rkp]

maybe he wants to extend the series to 5 games so he doesn't go back so soon.

 

[Fire Chevy]

I don’t care if we lose this series but if that POS Matt Cooke 2.0 ruined Scheifele for the future With a torn Achilles I hope someone knocks him out

 

[chaos4]

Give Wheeler a break. He just left behind a house full of domestic chaos.

 

[behemolari]

Skipped the game since I had a feeling wont gonna miss much

 

[robertocarlos]

Send Perreault to Seattle.

Jets would need to write a very large cheque.

Coaching u mean. Special teams and dump n chase..100 percent coaching. Lack of effort = players but this isn't new.. We got in this play in cuz of Helle and Helle alone

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Maurice can't counter neutral zone trap hockey, every team in the league knows it. Break-outs from our own end and on the PP were trash - can't get any scoring chances if you can't even get in their zone.

 

[Halberdier]

This PP completely disorganized. Guys all over the ice.....except where the puck is...

I think the only time PP kind of worked was a brief moment after Scheifele was injured and Wheeler fought with Tkatchuk and they had to shuffle it around. I think their typical PP play had it's "best before" date somewhere around season 17-18 or thereabouts. Everyone and their dog knows what they are trying now, no surprises.

 

[Neuf]

Sometimes things aren't worth the wait. Camp was clearly not even close to game level
