Yet according to Guy, father really does know best — he knew all along Johnny would succeed under Darryl’s watch.
“When Darryl Sutter was first hired, people said, ‘Oh, John will never make it,’” Guy said with a grin. “I said to my wife, ‘You wait. He’ll play his best hockey.’ Because I know what kind of person he is. She said to me, ‘Are you sure?’ I said, ‘Believe me, I know my son.’”
…
“(Johnny) loves (Sutter),” Guy said. “He says, ‘You don’t want to go in there and complain because he won’t listen to you.’ You play. Or you don’t play. And he’s not scared to tell you that you sucked.”
Between this article, how his family feels about visiting Calgary again, the comments from Guy Gaudreau about Sutter, how Johnny feels about Sutter and his teammates, and the season they are having, I’m very confident that not only will Johnny re-sign so he can continue playing here and under Sutter, but that he’ll do what it takes so that Tkachuk stays in Calgary as well. Both he and his dad know this is a great situation for him here and I can’t see him looking elsewhere just for a little more AAV or to play closer to “home”.

I think of Crosby taking his 8.7 and hope we have some good guys here who get it

Found a way to win, excellent. Jonny is unreal. Was a bit worried after the first two periods, but team got a spark in the 3rd and the difference in coaching and talent prevailed.
Will need all lines rolling for the playoffs- guys like backs, Coleman, toffoli. Jonny has been superstar status, driving the team. Haven’t seen many teams play him physical/hard- this will change in the playoffs .
Good chance guys are all over him in the playoffs- it’s happened before. Will need the depth playoff performers we have acquired to step up.
Pfft, Matty with a Hatty tonight or I riot and proclaim him a bust!

Remember ya'll be realistic with Matty. This is his first game and has barely been with the team and coach. Mistakes are normal and good for where he's at with his development.
Quote:
Oh my gosh his first draw
Quote:
Beniers sure ticks off a lot of different skill boxes.
Quote:
Driedger in net and Beniers will play
Quote:
WHAT A PASS BY MATTY
I thought for sure he was gonna shoot, and every one else did too
Quote:
All aboard the HYPE TRAIN
Quote:
Do what you must Flames. Matty got a point we have already won.
Quote:
Just think, when Beniers is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame after breaking Gretzky's scoring record and leading the Kraken to six Stanley Cups, we few can say we saw him in his first game in the NHL.
Quote:
I love Beniers patience. Perfectly exemplified on Donatos goal. So many forwards on this team get in those positions and they panic or look like they don’t know what to do, but Beniers has a certain confidence about him that he just seems to know exactly what he wants to do with the puck and knows exactly when to do it as well. He’s really impressed me so far.

Gaudreau’s 100th pt, a PP assist to Chucky

Take that Calgary, you thought you had us when you put our power play on the ice. But no, we found a way to put ourselves on PK which only makes us stronger.
Edit: Oh no

Hockey is only 2 periods right?

Well, fart on a cracker.

Wow disastrous start to the 3rd. What a mess
Quote:
Whelp congrats to Gaudreau atleast, but let’s uh…get that back with a Matty goal.
Quote:
I'm happy for Tkachuk and Gaudreau, but alao please don't score again, Flames
Quote:
And we started this ball rolling with a lousy penalty.
Quote:
Such a criminally stupid penalty.
Quote:
That was so stupid by dunn he had no need to swing his arm at the flames face.
Quote:
There are two things in sports players do need to understand, 1) play to the whistle 2) don't put yourself in position to where the officials will call penalty regardless if soft or an actual penalty. You just don't.

So many undisciplined penalties lately. It starts with the coaching

Dumb penalties, bad defense, and craptastic goaltending.
Hope the later 2 are addressed in the off-season. Especially the last one.

While I was out of the room for a bit, the ceiling vent above my desk/chair fell and now there's a ceiling tile to fix

So that's fun

Save us, Matty

I don't know who spoke in the locker room during our last intermission but that guy needs to be banned from talking ever again.

Ah crud. That didn't take long

Welp. The Kraken are back.
Quote:
3 unanswered goals, THATS kraken hockey
Quote:
I know they are an expansion team and that these types of games should be expected . . . But just as a fan of hockey, 3 unanswered goals in half-a-period is just a tough pill to swallow
Quote:
Prediction correct, though we did score another before my curse kicked in.
Still not panicking, that was mainly power play nonsense, I'm still laughing at Yanni's stick in the skate. What can you do.
Quote:
what a complete and total breakdown. One thing I want from the team to improve on next year is playing a full 60 minutes. Either be on or off but quit breaking my heart, lol
Quote:
Whether these calls are weak or our boys are playing sloppy I just ####ing hate seeing Hakstol on the bench looking like he's on the platform waiting for the 5:27 link light rail to the airport. Show some ####ing emotion man, call a mother####er out. jesus christ.

We looked good for a bit, Matty is a stud. See y'all later this week

Welp at least this will be a great game for our boys to study over the summer

Man, we are so good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Quote:
I can’t even hate Calgary, their PP and PK are so good. And it’s not their fault the reffing was kinda one-sided

That sucked, team was bad. I hate the Wild.
At Least..

At least Calgary is losing 3-1 to Seattle.

Nucks blew the lead but at least they ended up limiting Vegas to just the 1 point. Now here's to Calgary beating Vegas in regulation in the next game

Guys aren't playing him physically because they can't catch him it will be no different in the playoffs
That was an odd game. It seems to me that some here are not giving the Kraken enough credit. Watching live, they were incredible tonight in the first 2 periods. They were closing gaps and picking off passes unlike any team I have seen this year do to the Flames.
Not the best game by the home team, but that had to be one of the best efforts that Seattle put together through 40 because they were excellent.
Comebacks are always fun though and the boys deserve praise for winning the game even though it wasn't their usual style of victory. Honestly, even Markstrom was pretty good given the chances against.
Congratulations to Johnny. He's one of the best stars we have had and it's a pleasure to watch the best season of his career so far. Especially when it is one of the best regular seasons the franchise has had.
Still not too impressed with Jarnkrok and it almost looks like Lucic needs a break to reset. He's fallen behind the pace.

Sadly, Pornstache Auston will be the third American born to hit the mark in 25 years as he's at 99. But Tkachuk can be the 4th, and beat papa in the process.
8 more years of this please!!!
