Calgary always makes me nervous.
I wonder why....
|
Quote:
|
I have a bad feeling about this.
|
Quote:
The top line is going to need some help tonight. Monahan/Gaudreau have been red hot, need to keep them in check. Penalties are going to cost us.
5-3 Flames
|
The one game we didn’t have Smitty in net for
Quote:
|
to the guy who wants me to count the "Mike's" he's already said it twice in the first minute.
|
Quote:
|
yea no way hes up to 5 already not gonna be able to keep up.
|
Quote:
|
Keep up until the first commercial and I can try to take over. I'm also sure he said it about 4 or 5 times in that last exchange alone.
|
Quote:
|
He may have made it through a whole color thing without saying "Mike". I couldn't tell if he said "Like" or "Mike" so I'm putting it under my +/- column. We're at 20 Mike's so far.
|
Quote:
|
Lets set the over/under at 132.5
|
Quote:
|
We’re on pace for 120 right now.
|
Quote:
|
I slacked on the Mike counter for period 2, but I think I got about 19, so we're up to 47 with a +/- of about 5
|
Quote:
|
I probably missed a few, but I had another 19 mikes in the 3rd to give us a total of 66 Mikes.
|
Quote:
Mike Smith is having a rather good season so perhaps it was good Dallas scored five goals on him yesterday.
Avs have a way to make rookies look good though.
|
Quote:
|
Bernier playing on consecutive days, three games in 4 days, and the Flames starting a rookie goaltender. Also, the Avs have lost only once all year at the Pepsi Center. I figure they are due for a bad game at home, hope I'm wrong
|
Quote:
|
Yes, they did. Their backup is now 25-year-old Czech goalie David Rittich.
|
Quote:
|
What happened to Gillies? Wasn't he the chosen one?
|
Quote:
Aw damn, the flames know our ‘only’ weakness! Rookie goalies playing their debuts.
Shutout inbound! May aswell just call it a game right now. 
|
Quote:
|
Flames rookie getting a shutout tonight.
|
Quote:
|
Avs playing against a rookie back up goalie? They're done.
|
Quote:
|
Avs need to make this rookie goaltender uncomfortable. We obviously need more zone time, but also need to put someone in his face. Every time they show a close up of his face I wanna see Wilson's or Landeskog's butt with it.
|
Gushing over Gaudreau
Quote:
|
Can you imagine how good MacK and Gaudreau would look together? It would be ridiculous. I really wanted the Avs to put in an offer or OS him when he was an RFA.
|
Quote:
|
Kerfoot needs to just follow Johnny Hockey around the ice every shift tonight. Learn from your master, Kerf.
|
Everybody wishes they had a…
Quote:
|
Gotta give it to Tkachuk tho
|
Quote:
|
We could use a Ferland or Tkachuk. I don't think you can just look to add grit, but you need gritty skilled players.
|
Quote:
|
But you gotta admit, it was nice seeing him give the business to Tkachuk.
|
Quote:
|
It was a bad penalty on Landeskog. But I mean Tkachuk does that to everyone. Just a face that you gotta smack.
|
Quote:
|
And I'm pretty sure Tkachuk threw an elbow at Johnson
|
Quote:
|
I wish we have a chance to draft his younger brother in the draft. Should be even better.
|
Avs fans to the rescue
Quote:
|
That was a bit excessive of Landeskog, even if I can understand you not liking opponents whacking at the goalie.
|
Quote:
|
Yeah you can't be doing that Gabe
|
Dougie redeems himself
Quote:
|
Wow, coverage brutal there
|
Quote:
|
If you're gonna be that aggressive on the pk you gotta have active sticks boys. Let's get that one back!
|
Quote:
|
Miro just abandoned his post
|
Quote:
|
WE RUN INTO EACH OTHER EVERY GAME WTF
|
Quote:
|
I hate our PK design... Leave guys open in prime spots, hold the house! Surprised our PK isn't worse
|
Quote:
|
The Avs PK just seems to be "everyone rush towards the puck!" people leaving their man everywhere. Why are all four PKers in the corner?
|
Quote:
|
Look at Jared Bednar, coaching his way to the Jack Adams by standing around and looking mad.
|
Hold down both bumpers to:
Quote:
|
God Calgary blocks so many shots.
|
Quote:
|
EJ hitting shins since 88'.
|
CP would have exploded if it happened to us
Quote:
|
Nice way to lose a game in 45 seconds
|
Quote:
|
Seriously man 2 goals in the last minute
|
Quote:
|
just #### my #### up fam...
|
Quote:
|
Let's just shut down the last minute of the period. The Flames will never expect that
|
Quote:
|
Talk about complacent, from the ****ing skaters all the way back to the damn net.
|
Quote:
|
barrie tops that off with a brain dead play to cost the game
|
Quote:
|
Seriously, that's just frustrating and stupid. You go out there after a brutal giveaway leads to a goal against, and repeat the process? Really?
|
Quote:
|
This is why I hate playing Calgary. They're such a pain in the ass. Go to Houston already.
|
Quote:

"Hey, this has been a pretty good peri---- oh... two quick late goals??? okay... :*(" - Me.

Sad Panda Aftermath
Quote:
|
All in for Dahlin anyone?
|
Quote:
|
This feels like a game that will make the season take a turn for the tank.
|
Quote:
|
Man that was a frustrating game to watch
|
Quote:
|
Avs are off tonight. Flames are doing a good job making this a low event hockey game.
|
Quote:
|
An unbelievably fitting end with Avs toppling over each other.
|
Quote:
|
We did not look good tonight. Hope the boys shake it off and move on quickly.
|
Quote:
|
Not much good you can take from this game.
