Surprised at all the coach chatter in here. Interesting point of debate, anything could happen with a new coach. I’ve preferred Ward to Peters and not so sure the Flames will make a quick move to bring in a new HC at this time. Roll with Ward IMO

Mark my words, Auston Matthews will get another Hat trick that will clutch the game, he is going to be scoring Hattys way more frequently from now on.
Quote:
Matthews gonna pass Pasta tonight with a back to back hatty boys.
Quote:
TSN is now calling Matthews the best goal scorer in the league.
In November, TSN said he lacked passion.
lol
Quote:
Only team Matthews hasn't scored on? Calgary.
Only time I get to see the leafs play every year? Calgary.
Although I got 30 seconds of excitement when he hit the corner of the post and crossbar on the 5 on 3 and no one was sure if it were in or not.
Quote:
Sees the forward unit. Then sees the defense
Quote:
Another multi-goal game for Auston coming right up!!!
Quote:
Matthews' got some monkeys off his back last game with that hat-trick and empty net goal.
Now he needs to get another one and finally score a goal against Calgary.
Quote:
I think Matthews knows that Calgary is the only team he hasn’t scored on. Seems to really want a goal.
Quote:
Time for Matthews to end the slump
Quote:
Matthews 9 shots now! Why sports is so compelling. Can't buy a goal against Calgary.
OT WINNER?!

In b4 Tkachuk does something dirty to one of our players
Quote:
Probably try to get suspended so he doesn't have to play Edmonton next week.
Quote:
I cant even look at Tkachuk without feeling disgusted. He's barely a tick below Marchand on my players I cant stand list.
Quote:
Can we make a 1 game trade for Matt Martin?
Quote:
I want Kassian to go another round with the little ****
Quote:
“Tkachuk hasn’t scored in 8 games.”
####.
Quote:
careful tkatchuk you may get kassian’d again
Quote:
Someone just hit the #### out of that invertebrate worm that is Tkachuk
Quote:
God I ####ing hate Tkachuk. In fact I just hate the flames in general
Quote:
Man, I ####ing hate when analysts praise ####ty behavior like the guy on TSN just did with tkathuck. It just makes that behavior seem acceptable.
Quote:
Can Tkatchuk and Marchand just retire, get married and fade into obscurity?
Quote:
That's awesome, enjoy the game! Hopefully Tkachuk doesn't do anything stupid.
Quote:
If Tkachuk does something dirty just make sure Johnny Hockey doesn't play another game this season. That will teach him more than anything done to him.
Quote:
Lol tkatchuk, #### off ya weasel
Quote:
Calgary are going to take so many liberties against us tomorrow. I hope all the skill lovin fans understand that Rich Clune should be called up and playing this game. Fire away on me but this is coming from Calgary. Tkachuk will be running around and so will lucic and others.
Its dirty hits i am referring to here and they will be coming from the Flames.
Quote:
Our guys need to keep their head up for Tkhacuk and Rinaldo
Quote:
Is anyone scared about playing against Tkachuk?
Quote:
Hey Matthew, be a good lad and don't hurt your friend and his team. Save your energy for Kassian.
Thanks.
Quote:
Are thachuk's hits dirty? Idk. I get the whole Kassian thing, but he just sounds like a better Kadri.
Quote:
Tkachuk is a dirty player but I don’t think his hits on Kassian were dirty. Kassian has taken much worse runs at people throughout his career. He can dish it out but not take it.
Quote:
I'm more worried about Tkackuck scoring than I am hitting our guys.
He's good friends with Auston and Mitch, so that's something
Quote:
only reason oiler fans hate chucky so much is cause they will always remember they could have had him instead of PUj
Rasmus on D vs Rasmus on D
Quote:
Rasmus Andersson is a really confusing name for the Leafs to play against
Quote:
Darn, going to the game, was hoping to see a Swede D pairing
Quote:
Sandin already playing in critical moments I love it
Quote:
Aw poor Rasmus. Inexperience showing there.
Quote:
Rasmus Andersen... The answer to the leafs needs for a back-up AND defence

Leafs have been the better team through 40

Chronicles of Rittich.

How is Calgary getting goaltending like this? Jesus.
Quote:
Geez. How many horseshoes did the Flames shove up their collective asses before this one?
Quote:
Give this ####er the Vezina tonight
Quote:
Holy #### dave #### off man
Quote:
At this point, it feels like Rittich would save any empty net goal from the bench…
Quote:
Even if the leafs win, the LFR has to be called Rittichulous.
Quote:
Rittich is actually nuts. That reaction off of the redirection was great.
Quote:
Geez, he made that leg save off a deflection 5 ft in front.
Quote:
David rittich on the cover of dark souls

holy **** their goalie has a golden horse shoe up his ass

This goalie is having the game of his life. What the ####?

How about that SHUTOUT eh, guys?

wtf is this rittich guy that's just unreal i'm shook
Quote:
COULD YOU ####ING NOT, RITTICH?
Quote:
Do I smell a shutout??
Quote:
I know we just scored, but Calgary has 22 blocked shots and 28 saves. Its not just Rittich the whole damn team is a brick wall.
Quote:
Big Save Dave show tonight, sweet Jesus. Probably the best goaltending against us since Georgiev last year
Quote:
Chronicles of Rittich. He's Vin Dieseling our boys here.
Quote:
Tkachuk must have small pee pee syndrome
Quote:
We may have scored but I’m still convinced Rittich is an inter dimensional being
Quote:
We’re flat out peppering this goalie and he’s straight up saying no
Quote:
####ING RITTICH

How the #### is this goddam puck not going in the goddam ####ing net goddamit
Quote:
Really don’t want to shoot out with Rittich in ####ing god mode
Quote:
Their goalie has illegal magnetic puck-rejecting implants.
“Call it both ways”
Quote:
That is a brutally bad call. I'd say it's a makeup for the Sandin call, but that call on Bennett was egregiously bad.
Quote:
Lol that definitely should not have been a penalty. I guess hitting isn't allowed anymore?
Quote:
More weak sauce from the striped blind mice.
Quote:
Two mins for effectively defending by lifting the stick in a legal manner.
Quote:
Penalty for playing defense
Quote:
100% stick lift = hooking... Okay refs
Quote:
That was weak as ####.
Quote:
Wow... weak ####ing penalties so far tonight.
Quote:
I'm gonna need you to go ahead and show me how that's hooking again.
Quote:
That’s not a hook. Give yer balls a tug, tit####er.

Such a weak goal. Cgy barely in the game now we're playing from behind.

Aw nuts.

Man, we give up so many point shot goals.
Quote:
Ceci standing there like an oak tree
Quote:
Gotta bury our chances or this happens
Quote:
Awful goal by Andersen what a ****ing pathetic goalie, AGAIN outplayed by the opponents goalie.
Quote:
Don't get the puck out, bad things can happen.
Quote:
There's the difference. Rittich stopping crazy tips. Andy misses a very basic tip.
Quote:
Even if Andersen isn't directly at fault for the goal, good goalies make those saves. Big save Dave is, which is why Calgary is winning
Quote:
Ryan made a great play in that tip, but seriously, that’s the one thing you ask of Ceci. Just body a man in front of the net. Try and tie up his stick. Do something, man.
Quote:
The puck went in, Calgary skates to the bench and then Ceci tries to tie up Ryan’s stick
Chucky scores, Leafs do not
Quote:
Well Ferraro just said Tkachuk has no goals in 8 games, meaning he'll score 2 tonight.
Quote:
I hate shootouts.
Quote:
Death, taxes and Matthew's not scoring against the flames
Quote:
Well that's one way to not score. Just stickhandle into the goalie.
Quote:
yay shootout hockey..
said no one ever
Quote:
Of course ASSchuck scores
Quote:
That was a stoppable shot
Quote:
Shocking
Quote:
WHAT A STUPID ****ING GIMMICK PIECE OF **** THE SHOOTOUT IS!
Quote:
Another game ruined because it needs a shootout. 3 on 3 until someone scores needs to happen. It's too exciting not to have it that way.
Quote:
Why is it always the Super Sayian Goalies?
Like, every once in a while a McDavid or a Pasta will ####ing wreck us.
Put its like, every story of the week Goalie performance happens against us.
GG, lets never do it again

Edmonton fans, we get it, you have an Albertan inferiority complex because Calgary is a better city in every way. #### off already, stick to your own GDTs.
Inferiority Complex

Cmon Leafs they better win. I feel like they always lose games Oilers need them to win

Ratboy getting booed hard. Nice work Laffs fans

Lots of anger in here.

Kassian infected us with the big mad.
Quote:
All Star Replacement Save Dave.
Quote:
My God if I had a nickel for every time the Flames announcers mentioned the ASG for Rittich.
Quote:
Horse ****ing shoes. I swear, the Flames lead the league in horseshoes/60.
Quote:
Hrudey bloviating over Rittich going to the ASG. He’s what, goalie choice #5 and Bettman is worried none of Rat****’s Pacific Div teammates will speak to him so they are sending a token buddy.
Quote:
All Star 7th choice Dave
Quote:
Tkachuk with the shootout game winner.
Quote:
He can focus when he doesn't have to worry about Turtling.

**** you Leafs. ****. You.

Eat a bag of dicks Leafs.

Maple Losers.

Absolutely disgusting
Quote:
Matthews you suck.
Quote:
Watching the game on SNW and god I hate Hrudey. Dude is a ****en Flames homer butt sucker to the max.
"IF ONLY WE HAD 4 MORE SECONDS WE WOULD HAVE SCORED 100%"
Shut the **** up trash.

The teams winning percentage is amazing since ward took over. I don’t get the hate. Yes, we’re not the high flying, outscore deficiencies team of last year, but this style of play will be better suited in the playoffs.
Colorado dominated the Flames last year by matching their style and being better physically and defensively

The perception of coaches is so incredibly judged by their goaltender's performances, it's insane. I'm not talking about just Calgary, but league wide.
Right now, the Flames are relying on their goalies to steal them victories. They legitimately outplayed Minnesota (in Minny), Chicago and Edmonton to start 2020 but overall they're being saved by incredible goaltending.
They're a mess 5v5 but have the 2nd best 5v5 save percentage in the league (.941) and 3rd best save percentage overall (.920) since Ward took over.
Just for comparison, the league average save percentage is .908
It's great to get as amazing goaltending as we have, but it masks a lot of the Flames' big deficiencies.
