I think it’s because they are developing them right on the wranglers
It was brought up by the play-by-play guys on the broadcast tonight (another great one by Amazon)… I really think there’s been a huge improvement in development by having the farm team in Calgary. Seems like no coincidence that young guys getting called up seem to fit in seamlessly the past few years.

That 5 minute penalty was a real tester after they scored early. Could easily have been a different game if they get another, but that was a very clutch shorty and the Flames tightened up the PK a lot after the goal. PKs efficiency should be based on minutes assessed. The Flames won’t get credit for any kill there.

Too bad Pelts couldn't get the third one tonight. When he got sent down he took full accountability for it. Went down, worked hard and earned a call back up. Lots of first round picks wouldn't have handled it that way. Especially with pretty much losing all of last year to injury. Nice to see Pelletier getting rewarded for this and hopefully more nights likely this to come.

Whether it’s 3 or 4 starts to Vladar’s one, if they’re serious about making the playoffs, they can’t keep giving the guy who’s 2 games under .500 the same amount of starts as the guy who’s 9 games over.
That's exactly what Huska's doing now. He was asked about recently during questions and he confirmed they may look at moving away from strict 50/50 split. Tonight was also Wolf's 4th straight start.

Wolf has gotten the start in 9 out of the last 12 games. With 40 games remaining (Vladar will start tomorrow against St. Louis) and 4 more back to backs, it's realistic to expect Wolf to start 25-30 of the remaining games. That would put him right in the range of 47-52 for the season.
What stats would Wolf need to win the Calder? 30+ wins and a save % around .915 and .920 should get him close. If the Flames make the playoffs it should be a no brainer in my opinion but the media campaign is already in full force in Montreal.

Admittedly super hard for goalies to win it, much there are LOTS of hockey minds and insiderrrrrrs all saying he deserves it.

Wolf is the wildcard in this race between the flames and the Canucks for the last playoff spot. The Canucks have had to face a lot of adversity so far this season and much of it could be behind them in the last half of the season so they could be more poised than the flames to improve the rest of the way… just by the shear capacity to improve. The flames capacity to be better lies with Wolf keeping up his level of goaltending while playing more games and Sharangovich finding his scoring touch. If both those things happen while other players keep playing as well as they have been, I think it’s a real good chance that the flames make it.
Also, there’s still the chance that Vancouver self-implodes due to the Pettersson/Miller drama. It would be tough to win a trade sending out one of those two guys.
Biggest risk for the flames not improving is the loss of Zary. They need guys like Sharangovich, Pelletier and Kerins to make up for what he has been bringing to the team. Tonight, they did just that. Well done.

Will da yutes and da vets show up for a full 60 and actually do some torching of their own.. or will they all panic, befuddled running from the assault ...to live another day in the comfort of "the re-build"?
Young whipper-snapper learning the job recruits Bedard,Nazar,Reichel and Dach reporting for duty: we can't seem to get it up...no water for the pumps ...I guess we all stand around and watch the place burn down.
Fire Chief Jones reporting for duty,but not much I can do ...got no water for my pumps....Mayor K.D. reporting for duty...sorry but we had no budget for water reserves .. spent it on retirement contracts for veteran hangers-on serving out their final terms of ineffective duty..th answer my friends is "blowin' in the wind".

Great now I walk away for ten seconds, what the hell did Jones do this time? Or not do?
Quote:
No screen. Mrazek has been a bit off since coming back from injury. Maybe we give him more time especially since Soda has been hot. Like the guy, but maybe don't give up softballs.

I legit feel better when Soda is in net.
Pelletier from Kerins again!

Yea, I’ve been repressing the nagging cringe in the back of my mind that we are the opposing team’s ‘get right’ game every night.
Quote:
Mrazek wtf was that rebound?
Quote:
This scrub had 1 goal all season long but he has 2 tonight.
Quote:
Weak as #### in front of the net there
Quote:
I’m normally a fan of Kaiser but that was… yikes. His fault 100% on that goal.
Quote:
Very sloppy so far, and Mrazek needs to clean up those rebounds.
Quote:
Mrazek a little generous this evening
Quote:
here we go again...fumblin and bumblin right in front of the crease...
Quote:
They keep saying the 2nd goal was a bounce off the boards. It was a pad save that Mrazek put off the back of Kaiser. Should have sent that to the corner. I realize he was partially screened but not a lot Kaiser can do about that.

I’m so excited be gaslit by CHGO and mostly their dumbass chat as how I’m just a “Jones hater” and don’t actually understand how Seth’s only problem is he’s overpaid by only 2 million AAV, #### that he’s not worth league average. No joke
Quote:
I haven’t been listening lately, but are the CHGO guys still glazing Jones or are they finally admitting that he’s cooked here?

Jones doesn't deserve to wear the number 4. Hjalmarsson forever

Big shout out to whoever from this sub said a couple weeks ago that the only thing Jones does is appear in opponents’ highlights
Quote:
Seth jones is horrible He has no business on the pp
Quote:
Okay yeah, I'm at the point where maybe you do sit Jones, give him a little time to get his #### together.
Quote:
If Kyle Davidson finds a sucker to take Jones contract actually….ill never question any of his draft or deadline choices ever again. He will earn all of my trust if he can get rid of that pylon
Quote:
How does Jones have any blind defenders left. The guy literally makes costly mistakes every time he’s on the ice
Quote:
Like, I’m ready to make peace that 4 is going to be around for awhile. But at some point the front office & coach are gonna need to start playing him as what he is, not what his contract is. 3-4 line RHD, not your PP commander, prolly not your top minute muncher. #### sake, get out of delusion-vile KD & company.
Quote:
So Jones doesn’t want to put in any effort, but he aso doesn’t want a trade? Like what the #### is he doing here? Go home if you don’t want to play, you’ll still get paid.
Quote:
I'd rather the Jonas Brothers be playing for the Blackhawks than Seth Jones right about now.

Put Justin Bieber out there
Scoronato off Backs

Soccer pass from Jones right there
Quote:
Seth is ass for sure, but also what the #### is Mrazek doing there?
Quote:
oh my god please healthy scratch jones
Quote:
Seth Jones, my guy… what was that?
Quote:
Jones absorbs all the blame, but the hawks had like 4 guys back and they let Coronato walk right into their zone like he was McDavid
Quote:
Mrazek is not responsible for the ####show that has been in front of him tonight.
Quote:
He hasn’t helped.
Quote:
That was on Jones and Mrazek, I’d bring Soderblom in for the second.
Quote:
Every shot on Mrazek is an adventure
Seriously extension was mistake
You can find this level of goaltending for league minimum
Quote:
I don't know why I bother watching. Same thing every game. I may have to wait to watch another game until after Dry January.
Quote:
JONES YOU ARE ####ING DOG WATER!
Quote:
If it was like, a rookie making that mistake, it'd still be frustrating but you know they'd likely not do it again and it'd be slightly more understandable. It being Jones again is like a genuine comedy, at this point. I feel like we both notice him more because he's overpaid but it also is just insane how it's always Jones.
Quote:
Who’s there to use his frame and do literally nothing? Our main man Jared Seth Jones.

Can’t wait for nick Foligno to discuss how pitiful the effort today was and how it won’t happen again

Mrazek looks lost. The team is playing terrible in front of him, but he is not sharp
Quote:
You can tell teams don’t respect us at all - I started noticing in the 1st Calgary game and the Ranger game - the hyper aggressive pressure they put on us in the d end and mid ice just screams “you suck, and we know you can’t beat us through the ice.”
Quote:
I hope Vlassic gets yelled at in a constructive way for that pass up the middle
Quote:
Something like: “I love you so much. But you can’t do that. But I love you so much. Now say it back to me……. I love you.”
Quote:
This thread is now the roast of Seth Jones.
Quote:
I’m seriously trying not to dogpile if it isn’t accurate, but did my eyes just tell me Jones just kind drifted in no man’s land and leave the right side completely undefended on that goal? Am I wrong?
Quote:
If anyone's at the game, start booing for me!
Quote:
It’s freakin empty at the UC. Check Ticketmaster and entire rows of the 300s in particular are completely unsold, not even resale tickets but face value retail unsold. Fans on StubHub are selling 100 & 200 level seats for $30. I know it’s very cold and it’s a Monday night, but… kinda depressing.
Quote:
The hawks are also cold and depressing
Quote:
outplayed, outshot, out positioned = another 4 plus GA
Quote:
9 of the last 11 the hawks have allowed 4 or more..50 GA in the last 11 games while scoring 29.
Quote:
the UC is dead
Quote:
there’s still people there?

WTF Jones?
Mrazek again didn't help

If he keeps his pad on the ice he stops it

Thank god we had a combined 2000 nhl games on the ice.
Popping the Popsicle

I hope they Pop Pospisil tonight

Poopsil needs to get ran

Hoping there’s at least a bit of redemption for some of the cheap #### Calgary pulled last game….if the boys roll over in this one I’m going to probably choke myself to sleep.

Shove a stick up his ass, call him poopsicle

Look I'm against senseless violence but someone needs to pop Pospisil. That's sensible violence.

Martin popisil watch tonight

Good call, I had forgotten about that cheap shot punk. Wouldn't mind seeing someone hit him high even if it is a borderline hit.
Quote:
If Maroon doesn't give that batch a two handed slash to the wrist then I'm going to egg his house.

#### is real bad when the fans think Kurashev should be back in the lineup and that Pat Maroon is some sort of avenging angel of death who will kick everyone’s ass.
Quote:
I hope someone lays into popsicle after the last game, don't need a stupid fight, just knock his ass down.
Quote:
Hmm, they don't hold popsicle accountable after the last game, and he does #### like this again. I think they call that a pattern!
Quote:
Oh look Posposil with another dirty hit.
Quote:
And gets up smiling. #### that guy.
Quote:
Why are we born, just to suffer?
Quote:
If someone doesn’t beat the #### out of that guy by the end of the game I’m going to not watch the rest of the game that’s left.
Quote:
Pospisil is just a bad person
Quote:
Nobody in the flames even complained. They know he’s dirty. Needs a suspension
Quote:
Thank goodness. Get that piece of #### out of the game
Quote:
Only took 3 dirty hits against the Hawks.
SharanGOALvich Shorty to break the slump!
Quote:
5 minute major cause by one of the biggest #### stains that hit your star rookie in the head last game and just boarded a vet tonight. You get a 5 minute major. A chance to rally a big comeback, YOU SCORE ONE IN THE 1ST MINUTE!!!
Just to have the momentum killed because you’re already -3 D man wants to be a -4 at the same time makes 9.5 million and had complained about wanting to be Captain at one point. Am I hearing that right?
Quote:
If I had a nickel for every time that Seth Jones gave up a shorthanded goal to the Calgary flames in 24-25, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but actually is an insane amount

my expectations were low but HOLY ####
Quote:
Strip the A please. And if anyone ever gaslights me again about Jones I think I’ll just show them this clip.
Quote:
I’m literally laughing hysterically at the moment. What. The. ####.
Quote:
f***ing Jones needs to f***ing sit
Quote:
Jones's foot is clearly still affecting him. Our only option is to put him on LTIR for the rest of his contract
Quote:
Everytime that big #### #4 is on the ice, it’s a ####ing liability.

Seth Jones is the biggest embarrassment to wear a Blackhawks sweater

Someone needs to ol yeller this stupid ####

Hated the trade when it happened. Hated the extension when it happened. I don't feel anything today because I processed my grief long ago.
Quote:
another 5 GA and the 3rd period still looms...

Seth is a sack of cacca

jones is tuned out
Absolutely terrible by him tonight
Maroon skating in quicksand
I like Dachs game
Quote:
Can't watch because f*** the Blackhawks, but seeing Seth Jones a cool -3 once again just makes me laugh.
Quote:
flames showed more fight in one shift than the hawks have all year
Quote:
I think I'll do the dishes the rest of this period.
Quote:
They look worse than ever. This complete tear down better bring many many years of success. That's all I gotta say.
Quote:
hawks are a lock for top 3 pick again....imho KD has to move some of his horde of prospects and picks and get some forwards that can play NOW!
Quote:
Man, this Hawks stinker can't even keep fans in from the cold the whole game.
Quote:
Davidson better have some news of trades being worked on because this is brutal. Fire sale, retain some contract, and get these kids some viable veterans to work with.
Quote:
They need to give Jones the Trouba treatment.
I’d also just remove him from the PP at this point entirely.
Quote:
Can we arrange for him to be deported? Obviously, he's american, but let's just throw a dart at the map and see where he ends up.
