[GT] Sharks @ Flames

[Hack&Lube]

Good job on the Super Mario Theme organ guy! (Wasn't he on CP before?)

[J epworth]

Slow start to the second here

Sigh. I'm saying he's been pretty solid despite the fact that his upside is 5/6. All the better that he's been playing quite well in a #4 Dman role.


Comeau, now there's a guy that deserves some derision. Terrible.

That being said, it was a good first period, don't want to discount that. They just aren't capable of doing it consistently.

how are we drinking the kool-aid?

1) Colorado meltdown #1 - 1 point lost minimum
2) Colorado meltdown #2 - 2 points lost
3) Chicago meltdown - 1 point

Those are 4 points minimum they should have.

Flames should have 24-25 points this season.

It's not a 25th place team.

Flames own the Hitmn, but thre is no other direct affiliation between the teams.

Fourth line stuck...this isn't good.

[mrkajz44]

I never used to understand why linesmen waved off so many icings, but with all the ones I've seen in the last few games, I understand why.

He has been a +4 player his last 95 minutes played.

[Frank MetaMusil]

Hudler is due for a goal here.

[J epworth]

Defense have bad gap control right now, just letting sharks walk in cause they are backed up to far. Need to be a bit more aggressive

I agree with the second part not the first. Bouwmeester goes there and he is the best defenseman but I doubt they trade for him.

It's likely that many teams can look at certain games were they 'lost' points they should have had. I agree they are not a 25th place team, but I can't buy into this argument.

[calgARI]

What a horrible four minutes of hockey

[Frank MetaMusil]

Cervenka is having a good game.

The Flames forwards track the puck on the back check very poorly. Tough to have gap control.

[puckluck2]

Man these line changes are horrendous.

They don't give play-off spots based on should have and there are games that go the other way for the Flames.

[kirant]

WTF Comeau. How did that happen?

[StrykerSteve]

Great rush by Comeau, good wheels.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Comeau should have just driven to the front of the net. Not sure why he pulled up and tried to go short side.
