Dude, I just looked through your last 100 posts, not a single positive thing said. Just this team/player/coach is awful. Get a life.

That's NHL officiating every night no matter who is playing. It is beyond sub par but whenever anyone in the league points it out they get fined and the league doesn't seem to care.

Good guys win! Always the best result.

Hope he is ok.

Yeah that's really the story for me coming out of this one. If it's looking more like a LT thing then the Flames will probably have to shift strategies pretty quickly and begin targeting another D. They have internal options but nothing remotely resembling Tanev. Arguably their most important player, period.

I don't think he's nearly as good but I could see their target being Luke Schenn.

Careful, he might post his address online and invite you to come fist fight him like he tried to do to Dino a few months ago.

They missed a ton of stuff early but it really evened out. Not that it really mattered though because the Flames' PP was truly very bad — they gotta get that figured out.

Aside from all that — really not a whole lot to single out for anything resembling negative commentary. A strong win all around.

You’re trying too hard Scorp!

The Flames were fine….but really missed Tanev.

Keep it going boys. Win the next two please, that would be huge.

Actually that might have been the best OT ANY team has played this year. That was pure puck domination.

No it’s not. Tonight was exceptionally bad. And also exceptionally biased.

[CroCop]

That game was worth the price of admission. Had it all.

There was a noticeable emphasis on possession this 3v3 and they didn’t try to force anything

Not at all! It ended up evening up so really nothing to lose any sleep about. I thought it was pretty brutal at both ends.

See above re: Tanev ... this is where they could really use Kylington but (not knowing anything) I wouldn't exactly count on it. Could see them jumping ahead of the queue in the trade market.

Believe me, it's terrible league wide.

[Vedder]

Let’s put the win aside and focus the next 35 pages on Wisers affiliations.

I liked Kadris play where he just took it and left the zone, took a huge wide arc to gain speed to enter the zone for a quality shot.

Not a bad strategy especially if the other two can maybe get open or crash for a rebound. Sometimes when they are going too slow in OT the passing plays can be really predictable and easy to defend so when Kadri got going he was going prettt fast.

I think this is it too, just everyone watches with their fan bias so it always seeeeeems worse for their team.

And any given night it could be, but it's just pure chance nestled in a thick valour robe of general incompetence.

It's a fine line though.

If Laine scored on his move in OT then we are all saying that they skated around the outside with their possession and didnt try to make a play.

You don't want to force it in a risky spot, but at some point in OT you do need to try to make a play and beat somebody 1:1 to get a chance.
