[GT] Flames vs Hawks 11/18/2016

[direwolf]

Flames' defensive coverage has been excellent. Hawks are a tough team to contain when they're pouring it on.

[Geeoff]

Monahan and Bennett having by far their best games. I'd be tempted to keep them together and give Johnny his own line. Gaudreau-Backlund-Frolik?

Why take Tkachuk off that line? He has been really good with them

I'd evaluate that while he's out rather than saying that now. Who knows, this Monahan-Bennett combo could be great or not turn out.

Been thinking the same thing. See if that line does well for more than just a few games but otherwise I'd try it, for sure

Exactly what I was thinking.

[AC]

Bollig has tied the game for Stockton.

That's a sign. Flames are gonna win.

I'm happy for him that he's played so well, if he keeps it up the whole year he'll have an easy time finding a new contract whether elsewhere or maybe even with us on a short deal.

[calgaryblood]

So many hooks going uncalled against the Hawks.

[calgaryblood]

Frolik is all over the ice. Playing great.

[AC]

Hartman with a swipe at Gio on that icing.

Gio looked pissed.

[direwolf]

Monahan 75% in the faceoff dot tonight. Good stuff.

[btimbit]

If the Flames get healthy, I think you keep Hathaway over Chaisson.

[AC]

I ####ing love Tkachuk.

[endeavor]

Love the way Tkachuk plays.
