PGT- Wild 1 - Booing Man Loses

[vegasbound]

I went to the game and no other comments other than what the hell is in that beer!? I swear, Dome beer gets me every time.

Well, Glencross is hurt. I think Colborne can make top 6 eventually. And Bennett is on the way. Poirier has potential, so does Sven, so does Ferland.

This is year 2 of a rebuild. Don't despair.

You win more games than you lose playing like that

Looking forward to seeing a pissed off Flames team with some new blood on Saturday night HNIC vs the Oilers. Should be a fun tonight.

Don't forget Klimchuk, maybe even Jankowski lol.

His emergency call up was both his friend and his enemy.

[Caged Great]

The Flames need to play with more desperation in the first 20 minutes. They took the Wild too casually and got bit by them.

Nobody is actually blaming Mony for anything...just saying how stupid it is to blame a 3rd liner for not scoring on a break away

I'm not blaming him, I'm getting frustrated with the blown chance after blown chance.

You could play half that good against the Oilers and still win 8-1

[GioforPM]

Minnesota is capable of playing well, and they did tonight. They managed to push back most times when Calgary tried to mount a comeback, and Dubnyk gave them what they needed. If Calgary could have managed the offence they generated in the third all game, they would have potted a couple and won.

[smoothessence]

Feel like the Flames fought the puck all night until the latter half of the third.

If Glencross had played he'd be getting the whipping.

Move along to next game.

No highlights for Gary Roberts tonight it seems...shame.

That said, outside of hoisting the Cup, the best picture of him, in the height of the BOA. Take a seat Glenn.

Byron seriously needs to fire the puck off the goalie's chest and hope for a rebound or something. I don't know how you learn to "finish" -- you either have hands or you don't?

Any chance we can bring in Theo to be his breakaway consultant?

Theo went 5 hole a lot (remember his breakaway when he did the big cross ice celebration). Mind you that was on standup guys with skinnier pads.

That's what I was going to say.

Tries the same move the Jokinen perfected. Jokinen had the similar speed, but also the reach to get the goalie moving and "open" . Byron doesn't have the reach so the goalie isn't as "open" and Byron is too quick to try and slide it in.

Of course. They don't have a goalie anywhere near as good as Dubnyk.

I thought Roberts deserved to be Forevered, but I dont mind it being an exclusive thing.

Byron needs to shoot instead of deking the goalie all the time. It wasn't his fault we didn't tie the game but a timely goal from him would have helped.
