Colborne throws a few hits in a game and finally skates and people forget his uselessness. Can't wait till he's gone.

David Jones is completely invisible. Has been for a while. Hope somebody takes him at the deadline.

Despite Hartley and his shoehorn, he is not a) powerplay specialist b) pointman on the powerplay (wtf Hartley), c) penalty killer, or d) top 6 player.
I don't disagree- just that the comment came right after his sole mistake in this game.

According to NHL.com, the Flames have the lowest time on the PK of any team in the NHL at 237:53 in 58 games or 4:06 per game. This includes the last month, since Wideman's hit on the linesman.

Here's our Shorthanded TOI for each game since.
vs CAR - 10:00
vs CBJ - 0:00
@ VAN - 2:00
vs TOR - 4:32
@ SJS - 11:32
@ ARI - 6:54
vs ANA - 1:42
vs MIN - 4:30
vs VAN - 4:00
@ ANA - 5:41

That's 50:51 SH TOI in 10 games or 5:05/game, basically a minute over our season average (which includes these 10 games). This is a 25% increase in SH TOI.

If this 5:05 trend were carried over a whole season. we'd be around the 17th most penalized team, instead of the 30th.

Not making any claims, just putting the numbers out there.

David Jones needs to play a lot more. If we have any chance at Mathews.

Since he got sat down, he's been pretty good as far as his abilities go. He's better than Jooris, Bollig and (formerly) Granlund IMO. Also a decent option on a faceoff. He's been better than Bouma too, IMO.

Things are picking up in the third. Good play by the Flames. And Ortio is continuing to try and stop pucks. At this stage, that is all we can hope for. I'll be pleased even if we lose this game.

Kings are so good at the sneaky picks and obstruction. Not quite a hold, not a book, but show the pursuer down so they have time
