Saddledome Woes

Any update on Tro or Ekblad? I think Calgary usually kills Florida at home but hopefully they pick up another W.

If they can pull off a win against Flames i'll have a bit more faith in the team. I just got a very bad feeling about this game

from 31 thoughts 24. Speaking of good goalies, a scouting buddy was raving last week about Florida first-rounder Spencer Knight: "His team may not be that good, but he is."

The Flames may only be 5-5-1, but Calgary won 50 games last season and they have some of the most skilled players in the NHL. Tonight will be no easy task, especially without Matheson and potentially Trocheck.

Las Vegas has us as the underdog in tonights’ game…so, Calgary is not a team we’re "supposed" to beat.

This is one of those games where Bob is going to have to be lights out.

Ruh Roh, apparently the Flames' top line has struggled a lot in the last few games so I'm expecting a Gaudreau hatter or something ridiculous.

Too Much Man

They cannot handle both the Still man, and the Stral man

And Con Man.

So much man in this club.

Don't forget the Hoff Man

Ek-cidental Own Goal

For once Ekblad is on his guy, yet manages to have the puck go off his skate. This some Bad Luck Brian ####.

Eckblad. First of the season.

I feel like there were about ten goals scored off of Ekblad’s skate last year.

Off the skate

And now we take a #### penalty. Yeah we’re losing this game

Started a bit slow, terrible PP. that goal by the flames was fluky. Otherwise I like our game. Our 4th line is so damn good

Hoping this is our bad period and we come out swinging in the second. We look pretty pathetic out there right now.

I’m noticing a pattern. The Panthers seem to bring the intensity starting midway into the second period.

Big save early and another one now on the PP and I just saw Barky take a faceoff and this is what happened after... whoa

Ekblad looks like a Buick clumsily going through the crease

We are losing faceoffs 14-2!

No wonder we are doing nothing offensively

Chucky’s First, in the 2nd

Damn you gotta stop that one.

Woof Bob.

Sucking at faceoffs led to that

Stralman has to get a piece of that but yeah bad goal anyways

Bob very unimpressive on that goal against.

Bobrovsky, what a waste of money

Chucky’s Second, in the 3rd

Unbelievable pass by Frolik.

that was too easy for the flames.
win the face off, skate right down, with a little tick tock passing and boom.
I don’t know what bob was expecting…Tkachuk made that look too easy.

Caught us napping

We’re going to lose this game because every chance they get is quality.

Another 3 goal game by BobbyRovsky

whoever the dman was, that was not the way to defend a 2 on 1...he basically didn't do anything

Tkachuk is so annoying. Would love him here.

2 on 1 is never fun.

Biggest problem?
Calgary FOW 82%
Florida FOW 18%

B, I, And Gio!

3 odd man rushes. 3 goals.
Gg flames.
#### this defense

Every goal by Calgary is with same formula.

We have to be one of the worst teams on odd man rushes

Oh no! We suck again!

Geez how many times will I have to hear Randy Moller say "well the panthers got stuck in a line change" before we are more careful with these transitions??

Whelp that might be the dagger :\

We must have the worst defense in the league, unreal

Another 4 goals against. Beautiful

There was a complete mix up in defensive responsibility. Stralman didn’t make an effort to get back and Dadonov realized late that he was the closest to get back. So he was a step late getting to Tkachuk because of the confusion on the defensive coverage.

The next shift was also a complete blown coverage when weegar was the only D back and was basically at the bench. We still need to figure out this team defense thing…

Oh my god you have to be f'ing kidding me

someone pinched too late and led to the oddman rush which leads to the 4th goal.

Can’t pinch against a fast team like the Flames without getting burned

Pun intended?

Bizarre Bennett Copypasta

It's the last minute of game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. Everything is on the line. I'm on a breakaway. I lock eyes with the goalie. Shoot. Score. Horn. I did it. Sam Bennet skates over. "good shooting kid, you sure got the puck in deep". I smile shyly. "thanks" I reply, blushing. Sam Bennet tenderly removes my helmet and brushes my sweaty hair off my forehead. We lock eyes. His moustache quivers as if in anticipation. We both lean in. How will his moustache feel on my lips? I can't hold back anymore.

This is a ****show.

This is a strange game . Another horse **** goal

That is the weirdest goal I’ve ever seen.

Oh for F's sake

we still have an issue holding on to leads
30 sec later
or
1 minute later
or
2 mins. later

Seriously how the hell did that goal happen?

Honestly, 3 of the Flames goals were absolute **** luck. Not much you can even do or say about it.

What the ####ing circus shot was that..

Is it too much to ask that we ####ing win games in regulation instead of blowing leads all the goddamn time. We can never just finish games.

What the hell is with our games in Calgary. The Saddledome has some weird voodoo for this team

ugh….welcome to the new NHL where the score is 10-10

Rittich 2 for 2 in the SO

When we go to SO I knows its an automatic loss. So piss poor. Really baffling with the skills of Huby and Barkov.
Anybody else underwhelmed by Bob so far? Feel like we've has a decent sample size. Past his prime? Other theories?

Is it me or is our shootout just terrible this year?

Bob getting lit up at will

We didn’t even deserve a point so disappointed but I’ll take it. We jsut suck as the shootout.

Rittich falls on his ass and gets the save. That kind of night. Good point. 3 day break will do some
Players good imo

my god.... what a **** end to such a hard fought loss

****ing stupid loss after having a third period lead. Not good enough defensively or in net.

This storyline of epic comeback followed by deflating OT/SO loss is really ****ing lame

FU#$$%$ BULL@##$$%
we got a point but I’m furious.
terrible Shootout. still crappy power play. I’m not going to bring up the missed 3 on 1 again.
