Lol what was that

Starts the second with Brouwer and Bartkowski, line ices the puck. McDavid line comes out for mismatch, gets a bunch of chances.

[ricosuave]

Sure haven't heard Gaudreau's name much

[Love]

Man we cannot generate anything........

[3rd liner]

Time for Tkachuk to get in Talbot's face.... fair game.

Based on their roster they should've easily been a playoff team so big whoop.

Team got swept in the 1st round and he got completely out-coached by Carlyle.

He doesn't utilize his players properly (ie. how the hell is Hamilton not on the 1st pp) and he's terrible with in game adjustments.

A good coach could get a lot more out of this team than simply making the playoffs.

At some point one of our guys will have to try skating eith the puck :/

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Flames need to get some sustained pressure in the other end.

Nothing going offensively, just trying to hold on defensively.

[SportsJunky]

Too much standing around boys.

[flameester]

Nice pass by Dougie. Notice him bolt for the bench as soon as he saw McDavid on the ice.

[united]

Stone has McDavid in the scrum and does nothing but put an arm around him. A scrum started by Maroon bouncing into Smith on purpose.

This is such a homer broadcast team!

[Ashasx]

Um, drive the net?

Same look as pre season. When everyone was saying don't worry, it's just pre season. Teams can't just turn it on and off. This is why I like to see more in pre season.

[Delthefunky]

do we have a breakout plan for this game??

[Rejean31]

How many times are they going to mention the Oilers sweeping the Flames last year. Never any mention that the Oilers were the Flames bitches for an entire decade prior to that.

Nice play by Hamonic.
