So much funner around here after a W

Love it

Hopefully that win loosens them up a bit.

Once Gio, Brodie, Mony and Johnny get going this team could do some seriously good things. They're all fighting it a bit, but they'll come around. Too good not to.

Love watching a possession team, hopefully they just continue to bet better and better, and can sustain it against the better teams in the league.

no kidding, guy turns his back and dives into the boards the second he is touched...notice how fast he got up?

Ferland -great. Tkachuk - great. Frolik - very good. Backlund - very good. Stajan - very good. Brouwer - very good. Kulak/Engelland fine. Kevin and Hamilton fine except for one miscue each. Didn't mind Chaisson at all. Gio and Brodie had a tough tough game until OT. Monahan and Gaudreau had a tough game until OT. Thought Bennett had a tough game. He's too toe draggy and penalty prone. Johnson was good - does he get another start? Didn't like Versteeg much tonight.

If that was a dive it was the dumbest time and place to dive ever.

I also like how Brouwer is always noticeable. When he's getting points, it's a huge plus, but every shift he makes nifty little plays and always finishes his checks. Good pick up thus far.

welcome to the NHL...it was not only a dive he purposely put himself in that spot, notice how fast he is up? FFS he jumps, getting a stick in the back shouldn't cause you to jump

Gio, Hamilton, Johnny, Mony and Versteeg still have work to do.

Rest of the team is picking it up nicely IMO.

Not on ignore list, just ignoring posts like this.

Excited to see if the boys play a little more loose and better on Thursday. Pumped about Ferland and Chucky.

Agreed, we always have had issues with possession numbers, we're in the mix of changing it and improving it. Yes it might have costed a couple games that might bite us in the ass later, but let's just give the team a few games to get their ducks in order. I see us still trending upwards.

Flames, certainly not perfect but were by FAR the better team out there

take the win, I'm out...people being overly negative about this game should find another hobby

Not saying it wasn't dive, just that if it was, it was dumb. His own zone, if he loses the puck it's a 3 on 2, in OT.
