Agree, Versteeg was a good add - 10pts in 18gp now. Was lukewarm at best on him to start the season but he's come around nicely and has definitely helped the Flames offence since he came back from injury. One could argue he helped spark Monahan. Him and Sean potentially forming a "pairing" could help the Flames roll 3 dangerous lines if Gaudreau can help Bennett find his form on his line.

They should have Vatanen sneak in and put up all the Ducks banners before the game. That would allow for a win, with the Flames thinking they are in Anaheim, as well as allowing Vatanen to have a large positive contribution to the outcome of the game.

Ducks are getting smoked by the Flames 6-1. Bernier 6 goals on 20 shots. The Chad Johnson reclamation project continues to work. He's now their #1 while paying Elliott millions as the back up.

Let's not take for granted the lowest GA we have right now.

8-3 now (both Calgary and Anaheim scored on Anaheim's PP, great 2 on 0 SH goal by Calgary), then another Anaheim goal as I was typing this. I don't think Calgary cares much at this point.
This is a good game for Calgary and great way for Gaudreau to come back.

Johnny Hockey scores an absolutely abysmal goal. I could've stopped it.

Why is it that Calgary can destroy other team's backups and we make them look like the second coming of Martin Brodeur?

I decided to watch Oilers v Wild instead of Flames v Ducks bc I thought it might be more fun. By the time I switched over, the Flames-Ducks was pretty boring too. I guessed wrong tonight.

Bennett was a force out there - even if he did take a couple of bad penalties. Gaudreau is what he needs - a quick player that can run and gun with him and with the ability to make plays at a high pace. No offence to Stajan, but Stajan just can't do that. It is no small wonder that every time Bennett gets put on a line -either center or wing - with someone that can keep up with him skating wise, he does well. Chiasson (or Ferland) on the RW spot is a great match.
Speaking of Chiasson. Wow. I didn't think he would fight. Way to stick up there for Bennett. I saw Bennett skate up to him right after the fight. Not only did Chiasson do well on the stats sheet, but it was 'deserved'. Not a 'lucky' 2nd assist, but rather good, strong talented plays on his assists, and a power move to score I thought.
Monahan looks really good with Versteeg. Monahan just needs to focus on being Monahan, and you get.. Monahan! I think we can all stop worrying about him now. He is so smart and so good at getting that puck off his stick so quickly and accurately.
Versteeg should be signed for another year, barring someone like Pribyl coming up and doing better. He found his place on this team. I had my doubts, though I did think it was a solid 'depth' signing. I didn't think he would be fitting in this well.
Ferland.. man, if he didn't try to kill Bieksa in that fight, he would have killed Bieksa in that fight. He was just a bit 'all over the place' trying to knock him out. If you watch his junior fights, he shows a lot of patience until that big right comes out. It is almost like he is out of practice - but I would say he won that fight anyways. Lucky for Bieksa that Ferland is a bit out of practice there. Hope he is alright. He is a big part of this team.
Johnson was solid all night. There was that one goal that squeaked by him, but I was more worried that he hurt himself on it than anything. Was so relieved he got up and looked fine.
Gaudreau looked like he didn't miss any time at all. I thought that goal was a bit 'lucky', but then again I thought he was rather unlucky on some other opportunities. He could really have had 3 goals this game.
Wideman - everyone's whipping boy - turned in another solid performance tonight. He has just been solid. Perfect? Nope - but who has been? He has been playing some really solid hockey for the Flames, and that is why you never see him out of the rotation any longer.
Boll - I would have liked to see another replay on that hit on Jokipakka. I can't believe it didn't get called. Way worse than Hathaway's (which just looked bad). Maybe it wasn't bad, but geez that looked like a huge blindside to the head hit there. He is so damn lucky (and smart) to get that jersey up around Engelland's face or he would have had his face rearranged badly. Such a cheap hit.
Two very surprising moments for me tonight:
1) The Flames blowing out the Ducks. I thought after they tied it 1-1, that the Flames were going to lose. That was awesome.
2) In the third it was the Flames that came out chippy. Bennett started it (he is looking so strong these days), and in continued for a while. Really nice to see the Flames being able to hold their own against one of the bigger and more aggressive teams in the NHL.
I still really hate Bieksa and Kesler. Hate the Sucks as a whole.

Dialed in tonight. This rout against the nemesis has the potential to be a turnaround point for this season. Win #3 of that 6 to 7 game winning streak we need to get back into this.

I would like to argue that we already are back into this. 1 pt out of third in the Pacific, only 3 pts behind the no good Oilers and tied with both wild card teams. That would be just about the definition of "back into this".
Howard the Duck clip after one of the goals? Awesome. Other random hilarious clip after each goal. I can't even recall half of them. Great music selection.
Thumbs up.

I noticed those 2, and also a clip from this scene from Teen Witch (which I know thanks to the How Did This Get Made? podcast).
Oh, my, that is an awesome video! That movie looks MST3K worthy, and that podcast sounds awesome! Once I am bored and/or finished with all the murder podcasts, I will check it out. Thanks!
Bravo sir, bravo. This needs to be seen on every page.
Most exciting game of the season thus far and not just because all the goals. Bennett, Johnny, Monahan, Versteeg, Stajan all played really well. It's great the PP is starting to look much, much better. Keep it rollin' vs Dallas.
With the spelling talents of whomever posted that, this mistake does not surprise me :P
Your spelling mistakes aside... The ATL is still wrong..
8 States have legal weed before we have broke the Honda curse....No province not even BC... Both statements to this flames fan disurbs me that the curse in both sense exists.
