LOL. Lucic hits Meyers and says “do something about it’.

Yep. Also in the playoffs Peter randomly buried his #2 defenseman on the 3rd pair for two games, when that defenseman was the only one who could keep up with Nathan MacKinnon in the team's WIN. It was some kind of self-foot-shooting.

Did I mention replacing Kylington (part of that successful first half) with Fantenberg?

I swear someone smeared KY all over their stick tape. Can't take a pass to save their lives.

That should be this team's motto. Baby steps.

A skate guard would better on that line than Simon. Frankly, they’d be better off shorthanded.

There is a reason why the Saddledome had the nickname “the library”.

This is one of those games where the Flames won’t score.

Feel like I’ve seen this script and one of those nights where they will miss their chances.

I think it's one of those games that doesn't start until the 3rd.

This is still the warmup

I’m also with the Ritchie club, he’s looked better on that first line in half a game than anyone else thus far.

He’s surprised me for sure, he can skate a lot better than I thought and doesn’t look out of place. Let’s hope wardo gives him a few games... but Geoff will probably Geoff it up.

Fresh enough to the lineup that he hasn't had the life sucked out of him yet

I wish the Flames could transition and breakout that effortlessly.

May have to pump the brakes on Ritchie some. He looked absolutely dumbfounded in his own zone on that rush. Had no idea what to do after the initial shot too. Lost in his own zone.
