good pace to this one

[PugnaciousIntern]

Wow, 3rd and 4th lines have really had strong forechecks the last few games

I thought for a second Tkachuk left the puck behind.

An ice-level microphone I'd bet.

Johnson is looking like he plays under Hartley. He's always hanging around our blueline looking for the stretch pass.

he literally said "That was a situation where if GG is pissed at the ref, they often get together and a instigator is awarded" so yes that is what I believe

Flames better slow this down.
Not sure if Tampa can keep up this pace, but they do lead the league...what I do know is the Flames can’t keep this up, that’s proven, especially given their third period issues the past month.

Smith making some big saves early in this one

[Monahan For Mayor]

Just waiting for the inevitable power kill to destroy our momentum.

[direwolf]

Lighting have had some decent pressure a couple of times, but the Flames are playing really solid defensively, and Smith looks like he's in the zone again tonight. We're definitely skating with TB and holding our own so far.

He really is.

Damn shame the puck has to be involved.

Hope it is just a confidence issue.

But why not wait until then before posting a negative comment? Great period so far, entertaining.

[N-E-B]

Great start!

I think Lazar and Mangiapane are an effective duo on the 4th line.

Stajan has looked a little rejuvenated playing with them as well. At the very least he had a great game vs Minnesota.

[Travis Munroe]

I did believe that at the very least, showing a emotional disagreement with the call leads to refs getting together to discuss it just as they do when a puck is chipped out of play and in question. Just don’t see any downside and a lot of potential upside.

Really liking stone... seems to be elevating his game to the rest of the d and isn’t afraid to get rough.
Smith also playing the puck in a much more simple fashion seems to be helping on the breakout.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Smith!

Man pucks are bouncing like crazy

Stajan has been great imo since he stared getting mean and throwing his body.

Smith has had 3 dynamite saves keeping us in this right now.

I'm not trying to be negative. I agree it has been.

[Firebot]

While Smith lets in a softie here and there as all goalies do, I am so glad we got him as our goalie this year.

Just noticed this. Not irrational man. Not at all.
