lol.

There's a Feaster phrase you should learn: "Intellectual honesty."

Well, they're skating now. Just need more of the same as the 1st goal......win some battles and get the puck on net. Never know.

Would it hurt to try and be 1st? How about try to gt home ice?
Why are you guys satisfied with these average results? This team should be leading the division.

I think they could try it to see if the old Gaudreau to Wideman chemistry could be resurrected.

That's not a penalty, Matthew. Get up and quit looking for a call.

The Leafs are getting to all the pucks. Quicker and more determined.

it's funny how the team has kept it more simple this 3rd period and magically generating some good chances.

Frolik is going to need extra ice bags.

The puck has been rolling off Johnny's stick all night.

On what basis should the Flames be leading the division?

because the roster is just as good as the teams that are actually leading the division, not to mention being relatively healthy (knock on wood) thus far.

they have the leagues 2nd top scorer. Top 10 goaltending....

I think the dome ice must be real frustrating for the more skilled players. Especially late in any period

I know it's not the reason we are losing tonight, but I am so sick of having Brouwer on this team. Such dead wood.

At least they're showing some effort here in the 3rd. I like their chances on Thursday.

The team has been poor all night but IMO the third line has had the best effort. Tkachuk's up there as well, but I've liked the third overall better.

On paper maybe but I guess that’s why they play the games.

Monahans worst game of the year IMO. Hamonic and Brodie have been brutal too. Ah well.

Frolik has had a very poor start to the season. One of the reasons why I think the 3M line has fallen off. Lots of plays have been dying on his stick, hopefully he turns it around.
