[GT] Flames v. Leafs 7:30 - well, they’re playing again

[ThisIsAnOutrage]

We'll, I don't hate the game, so far. That's a step on the right direction.

Flames with lots of shots. Great Corsi. Zero goals.

All Swede, no Finnish.

His GF% is low.

There is no flow to the Flames play. Always a bit too slow while they're driving up the ice, with someone easily coming up from behind and taking it away, to no tape to tape passing. Simply ugly to watch and not effective in today's skilled game. Dube and Mangiapane seem to be the 2nd line players of the future worth keeping around. Others, I don't think they're fast enough.

Seemed like a decent 1st period, but the 4th line appeared to be the Flames' most dangerous so far. I have a feeling it's going to be like last night where one mistake ends up costing us the game.

We need those high danger chances to come off the sticks of the top-2 lines who (should) actually be able to finish.

Flames just need a good final 40 and then some time off before they get to face the Oilers on HNIC

[troutman]

Habs won - forget about it.

[Timbo]

I’m usually not one to complain on game threads however lately the Flames are the most bumbling fumbling team in the league IMO.
I hope we win tonight but we continue to look so disjointed.

[PaperBagger'14]

Sam Bennett with 95% hair retained is on the trade block

[ThisIsAnOutrage]

The Flames are nailing these intermissions!

[Manhattanboy]

Just tuning in.

We don’t have a first line or even a top six so I will just ask how the third line is doing?

What?!? Mangi and Dube are first line players on that point producing machine with Jack Eichel in 2022.

Hard to tell the game has been so choppy.

[dino7c]

Lucic is fast when he gets going, acceleration not so much but he is way faster than he gets credit for

[ComixZone]

Ah god, I hope the media is wrong.

This has to be a rebuild. There is no other way to turn this team into a championship quality team.

[zamler]

Sure looks like Monohands has no wrists. So why is he playing let the guy rest and heal.

I think the issue is more that he’s skating hard, compared to most other guys.

[SportsJunky]

Did anyone catch Francis' untouchables list?

[Harry Lime]

Watching Dube's defensive play, it makes me wonder how he would do shifting back to centre.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Another puck sitting on the goal line. It’s almost comical how much this team struggles to score.
