Dominant against 4th liners. There is more to hockey than just stats open your eyes. He is underwater at even strength

Flames have a whole 3 more wins. So, what are we looking at?

Lol this guy...Klapka has massive upside

[dino7c]

Tyler Toffoli is the Sharks leading goal scorer by a fair margin

You on the previous page on a different Flame with less impressive stats

I guess the relevance of stats depends on whether we are ####ting on a Flame for not having good stats or ####ting on a Flame for having good stats.

The last stint he's not underwater. And 4th liners don't play against 4th liners on the road. In fact, no matter what the rink, coaches try hard to get their better players out against the opposition's bottom line.

Rooney's goal was against Zegras, Strome, Terry, Gudas and Lacombe.

What's Wolf season look like if we kept Markstrom?

Trade Rasmus so Parekh can play and play in a PP role. Weegar is better than Andersson on the PP and is having back-to-back career years since taking Rasmus spot on the top PP. He will move to the 2nd unit once Parekh is here. Rasmus will be right off the PP.

Trade Coleman and move Farabee to the 3rd line so we can leave a spot for a player. Suniev needs to get some games in this year. Honzek has struggled since he got hurt, but he made the team this year and might do it again next year. Kerins played well enough in the 5 games he got and didn't deserve to get demoted. What is the point of having these players if they never get a crack?

Need to leave spots for these players to have a chance to succeed.

That has always been an issue for the Flames. Never leaving enough spots for guys to take them. We did it with Wolf, but even wingers this year not a lot spots opened until injuries.

Summer of Offer Sheets - Athletic article

Walsh is quoted saying that a GM told him "his goal" this summer was to do an offer sheet. Could be some fun... although the rising cap will certainly damper team's abilities to do sheets.

Or it could be a massive homer like Dino who likes to skew things.

Frost was brought here to produce plain and simple he hasn't. That is a fact.

Klapka is a 4th liner who is somehow going to be great. But is underwater but when its Frost there is more to hockey. Gotcha.

[dino7c]

Makar and Mack were on the ice for Klapka's game tying goal monday. 4th liners.

Makar was on for his assist on Lombergs goal...couldnt contain his size and reach in front of the net.

That narrative though

Lol as usual...lose the argument so start with the slander. Like I said both Klapka and Frost are playing well lately and if you disagree I question your ability to evaluate hockey.

So should Lomberg and Rooney both be looked as great great potential?

What slander? You are a homer. You can't look at things objectivley and if anyone says anything about the Flames you jump in.

Playing great and not producing. The team needs production, and he isn't providing it.

No one lost the argument, if anyone did you did making yourself look foolish everytime hunting for lines from people like Burning Beard.

This is behind a paywall.

Will likely be a lot harder to offer sheet someone with most teams having a lot of cap space.

Scored on the best forward and best dman in the game a few days ago. (Fatality) The fact that you wont even admit Klapka has potential just shows you have a narrative and are sticking to it.

Its pretty easy to see the Flames with 20M in cap space, Zayne, and IMO some improving 25 and under players being better or at least the same next year. Hardly a homer take...I was absolutely lambasted for saying 90+ points this season so do your worst. I was correct in the end.

The Sharks with leading goal scorer Tyler Toffoli are no threat to the Flames in the forseeable future.

Klapka is has actually been well above water more often than he’s been below it since he was called up mid-March. Prior to that, only twice did his line generate more than they gave up (through 14 games). But since then, through 11 games, he’s done it seven times.

Overall, he’s actually pushed most of his numbers into the positive since called up. He’s definitely getting better/more comfortable and his advanced stats show it.

Here comes the homer again massive potential lol.

I said he has more offensive potential than Pospisil being a top 9 player right after the Colorado game.

Why do you go find Dissentowner and come back, you 2 seem to love to ruin threads.

He has had great chemistry with Lomberg, they seem to find each other on the ice. His overall numbers are underwater but his xGF is at a even 0.

It's people like Dino who ruin threads. Him and dissentowner just come in to create pissing matches all the time.

Lol pot calling the kettle black, Flames in playoff race and you are throwing in the towel on next season.

Sorry someone calls out your nonsense.

Frost, Klapka, Zary, Coronato, all yet to have their best seasons. Potential star dman coming as soon as next season. Your narrative that the Flames are on a massive downswing is wrong IMO. Lets see I guess.

The Sharks have a lot more than "50 points".

They have a very stacked prospect pool that covers everything from #1C (potentially a couple of them), top line wingers, excellent LD, and a top tier goalie in Askarov. Basically all they are missing is some RD depth.

With 4 picks in the first 2 rounds of this draft, including #1 overall (depending on the lottery), they can load up even more this summer.

Unless they make some bonehead moves that really screw up the team, they are primed to climb out of their rebuild within the next couple of years. I would expect next year they take enough of a step to be a bubble team instead of a bottom feeder.

Uh, Sharks have 20 wins and 10 OTL...they absolutely have 50 points lol.

Ill take that bet, they wont be a bubble team next season
