[PGT] Golden Knights 4 - Flames 2

[Flamesfan2010]

I really feel the flames need to try putting Tkachuk on the top line with Monahan and Gaudreau. Move Ferland down to the second or third line.

I have wondered why Monahan was given an A? I guess because he was very poised at a young age. And he did show up against the Ducks last year.

In any case, I’m not sure it’s leadership that is holding this team back.

It's just one point though, but the team should feel free to stop themselves from collapsing and losing important games they're winning any time now.

Piss off EA. So obvious this game is coded in Vancouver.

Golden knight players are much faster than us and their pass is so perfect in the rush. But flames pass is always bouncing and always out of target. They should work for their skills and condition during this breaks.

Nothing wrong with pointing fingers where they are due; him and Monahan have not been delivering lately. Consistency makes a playoff team.

Not delivering lately is a lot different than what you said...”regularly throughout this season”.

However, that is slowly slipping. Not so much the last 5 games, but the general consistency that has been absent the whole season.

Don't even get me started on Ferland; he is Captain Houdini.

Imagine if we said in September that Gaudreau, Monahan, Ferland, Tkachuk, and Smith were all on pace for career seasons, and we were still out of the playoffs?

Lots of good individual performances this season that the team isn't capitalizing on.

After watching the Knights on the tube a few times, I felt like they are getting away with a lot of hooking and holding. After watching them live, I am convinced of it. There was one shift where Brodie was hooked, held, and then hooked again, all in about 3 seconds, and then the Knights got a turnover and a scoring chance.

Second line won’t score then

Come on now...nobody puts up points every game

If you are gonna say Tkachuk and Smith are the only reason we are in it you are holding JG to a higher standard

Tkachuk is on a hot streak right now. JG is in on half our goals!

Every single player in the league has hot and cold streaks. The problem is the 3rd and 4th lines do nothing

Doubt that will happen with this current coaching staff unless there is some sort of desperation.

[Ashasx]

Imagine how many points Gaudreau would have if we had even an average powerplay.

Name some NHL scorers more consistent than Gaudreau. He’s not the problem IMO.

Yup here we have it, Vegas is the best team in the league because the refs are going easy on them.

Yeah, they are too scared to try anything new....

I said both. Check out Johnny's stats during the month of December. Are they impressive to you?

Johnny has not been consistent; he gets points in bunches. And we expect him to get points - that's the style of game he plays.

Inconsistency. You can't defend it.

pretty sure that isn't what he said
