Dog piling? If the collar fits

If Seto or Jones breathe wrong, its worthy of 2 exclusive threads per day and honorable mention in the other 10 threads that are active.

But dare to mention Gio, Brodie, Monahan, Gaudreau....get down!

It comes down to sensible moderation as dog piling reflects really poorly on the community.

Good F-ing lord, to suggest there is no sense of acknowledgment to an actual occurrence of something that happened in a game, when everyone clearly admitted he made some mistakes last game, is just so stupidly ridiculous that you can only be trolling or you struggle with reading skills.

At this point you're not even arguing with anyone in this thread if that's what your issue is.

I am looking forward to Calgary and Ottawa playing the ice hockey.

Playing with a purpose out there. Using his wheels and crashing the net, and picking up goals for us. I quite like this version of David Jones. Easy to bash him for being brittle but I think he's seen a lot out of this team from the press box and now that he's healthy has decided to buy in to the energy and work ethic. Good to see.

Hoping to see a Gaudreau goal tonight. He needs to start to even his stats a little. Also Forsberg is starting to pull ahead in the race.

I like what I've seen from Jones. When he's healthy and in game shape he's actually a great wingman for Monahan. Add in Glencross and teams can't cope with that line's size and speed.

I really hope Colborne is back before the California teams roll through. We're sorely lacking in the size department right now and against those teams we could get rolled over.

I'm thinking Baertschi gets the monkey off his back tonight and pots his first goal of the year.

The previous 5 replies had me believing they were watching a different game.

Everyone's drinking the Gaudreau Kool-Aid (including me) doesn't mean he's above improvement or that were trolls or haters.

He tries high-risk passes and there were definitely a couple which didn't connect the other night. I'm sure it's been addressed by Hartley and Gelinas, because it is groan-inducing to lose the puck so cheaply.

Johnny looks like the real deal, and yet he still has room to improve. As he gets better and better he's going to be giving defensemen all over the league heart palpitations.

It's gonna be a fun one for sure. Both teams have good speed and are pretty mobile on the back end. I remember when the flames were always trying to avoid "track meet" style games. Seems like they are more than capable so far... Hope it sticks.

Please don't go of topic

I chimed in on Gaudreau passing the last couple of GT's. It's not that they're terrible passes or anything like that, But they're too soft. Just a few marshmallows here and there that get turned over easily. If he added a dash of power to them they wouldn't be so easy to turn over. Something he'll discover over the course of the season.

I totally agree that he has thrown up some marshmallows in the last couple of games. But the weird thing about that is that he actually makes really strong crisp passes for the most part. I have been shocked all year long at how much zip he has been putting on them. Then the last couple games - some creampuffs.

Not at all concerned however. His ability to learn and adapt is almost frightening.

[FlameZilla]

I think Gaudreau might secretly be a Jedi.

[Gaudfather]

Should be a good test tonite with the Sens who are also known for their never say die play. They also have pretty reliable goaltending in Anderson.

Flames do not want to take this team lightly. GFG.

Saying someone is struggling to comprehend, doesn't mean a whole lot when you simply try to gloss things over to fit your assertions.

Post - 38, 40 certainly didn't admit he made "some mistakes" post 50 went on to say he pitched a perfect game without mistakes as he "counted none"! 53 opened the door to my assertions, but then went out of his way to try and discredit me as an observer.

It wasn't until post 55 where it ended and now the gates we call reality, have opened and others are actually agreeing with my initial assertion.

Hopefully it was a one off for Johnny Hockey,
