Canadiens at Flames March 3, 2022: Five things you should know

The matchup: This is the second of two meetings between these teams and the Canadiens posted a 4-2 win over the Flames at the Bell Centre on Nov. 11.



Toffoli off to a good start: Tyler Toffoli, who was traded from Montreal to Calgary last month, is proving to be a good fit with the Flames. Toffoli, who was Montreal’s leading scorer last season, has five goals and two assists in seven games in Calgary.

St. Louis’ hockey journey comes full circle in return to Calgary

“I never thought he’d become a coach, but then I saw him coach summer hockey with his kids,” said Denis Gauthier, who came up with St. Louis in the Flames organization.
“He was so professional with the kids, doing the right things and asking them to play the right way. They were the best minor hockey coached team I’d ever coached against, just the way he had them play. He had a vibe for the game and how it should be played and taught at a young age for the players to become better as they get older. The kids all played a very mature game…Marty has this positive cockiness about him. His assurance. He knows where he wants to go and what he wants. His aura is like no one else, so when he steps into the locker room, he’s got instant respect from all the guys, whether he has that coaching experience or not.”

Calgary takes home win streak into matchup with Montreal

The Flames are 15-4-4 at home. Calgary is the top team in the Western Conference with 5.8 assists per game, led by Johnny Gaudreau averaging 0.9


TOP PERFORMERS: Andrew Mangiapane leads the Flames with 28 goals and has 38 points. Matthew Tkachuk has 16 points over the last 10 games for Calgary. Jesse Ylonen leads the Canadiens with a plus-two in seven games this season. Cole Caufield has six goals and five assists over the last 10 games for Montreal.

Odds
The Calgary Flames (31-14-6) are heavy favorites when they host the Montreal Canadiens (13-33-7) on Thursday, March 3 at 9:00 PM ET. The Flames are -400 on the moneyline to win, while the Canadiens have +310 moneyline odds.

This should be a win but hopefully the they don't take this game too lightly. Hopefully Toffoli shows well.

[MrMike]

Not to be taken lightly, the Habs are 5-1 in their last 6 games.

[Erick Estrada]

Would not be great to go 0-2 against what may be the all-time worst Habs team. Need to win this game with some more difficult games on the horizon.

[transplant99]

Win or lose this particular game....meh.

This is a good hockey team in that when they play to their strengths and to their identity, will win far more games than they lose.

Speaking of which.....where is Ricardo these days?

I miss asinine comparisons and insane valuations.

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

[PugnaciousIntern]

Cheese, the quality of these GDTs is unreal. Thank you

[Toonage]

^ Seconded

[TheScorpion]

The Flames should play a "Thanks for Toffoli, nerds!" video on the Jumbotron at the first TV timeout.

[Moneyhands23]

Come on boys! This is a game to win, especially with the next 5 games coming up!

[Always Earned Never Given]

CH= Pas bon!

[Always Earned Never Given]

Bizarre stat:

Last year(Canadian division) Flames winning % .491

This year

Flames vs Canadian teams .400
Flames vs US teams .744

Hmmm!

[agulati]

Going to the dome after a month. Looking forward to seeing Toffoli live.

[FlamesAreOne]

Toffoli.

Wonder how the Habs 5 game win streak (just ended) under St. Louis sits with Edmonton fans and their "Woodcroft fixed everything!" schtick?

[GioforPM]

Toffoli said the other day “they’re the enemy now”. I liked it.

I think it’s something that most can only perceive as an outsider.

When Ward took over and they went on a tear, we all loved the ride. Tough to focus on other teams when yours suddenly gets hot.

Especially in Edmonton where they thought their team was underperforming. And that Montreal had fallen back to earth after over performing last year. Tough to have realistic insight on your own team, especially tough when you’re in the oilers bubble of hype

[foofighter15]

Just please win.... I cannot listen to my Habs fans friends for the next year saying they swept the season series against us.....

Go Flames Go!

[Flames1217]

Classic trap game.

This can either end up 6-1 flames or 6-1 Canadiens.

Need to take the lesser teams seriously, even with the separation in regards to talent.
