“If I slide in front of my goalie like I’m doing a lunge while an opponent player shoots the puck, surely nothing bad will happen.”
Jeez, what a way to spoil a PGT. Even if you're not dead wrong, this is a stupid time to post these rotten stench bombs. And honestly, Stajan's been playing much better since the year turned from 2017 to 2018.
Now go clean up the no good mess you made in your room, you silly goose.
Stajan’s about the worst thing about this team aside from Brouwer. So really it’s not all that bad. The criticisms over Monahan, Bennett et al are puzzling at best.

Another game, another road win. This team just 'has it' on the road. Really wish it rubs off a bit on their home games, as then they would easily secure a playoff spot and probably be fighting with Vegas for the division lead.
Bennett had a really nice bounce-back game (the entire line did). Nice to see him (and he is effective on the PP I would say - he really is strong on zone entries, and keeping the puck alive, especially on 1on1 battles, and he has some nice quick hands).
Tkachuk is a monster. Not only does he give the other team fits, I am sure he is starting to give them nightmares. Just pops out when you least expect him with a big goal, or forces you to take a penalty, or just gets under your skin.
Hope Smith is alright and that the injury just felt worse than it was. Groin injuries often feel that way - sometimes really difficult to tell how bad it is right when it happens.
Good job on silencing the Islander's big guns today. If they continue accumulating points the way this team has been, they are not only playoff bound but are going to firmly be above the wildcard spots. Nice to see a win without the top line potting a goal - secondary scoring is crucial, and I would say the Flames SHOULD have that in spades. 2nd line is dependable, but hopefully that goal by Jankowski will give him a bit of confidence and get that line off to a bit more of a roll.

You guys know we won right? It’s ok to take a night off from sniping about who posts what or who is or isn’t here, some of y’all are like an episode of Gossip Girl sometimes.
Bennett played well, I know I’ve been tough on him. Tkachuk is a beaut and if smith isn’t fine we’ll be ok because I think Rittich or Gillies will step up and not look out of place. On to the next one.

I think SS is one of the posters that have taken a step back over the toxic environment in most threads lately. I've been pretty close myself from logging out and taking a break for an extended period of time. The second anything goes wrong with the team, there's a parade of people falling over themselves to post about how much they hate the team and players.
There's a pretty clear group of posters that I would suggest enjoy trash talking the team following a loss more than they seem to enjoy when we win.
Couldn’t have said it any better.
I didn’t have to use the ignore function until last season. No one can enjoy wins anymore

Triggers for those kinda posts seem to react from these in-game. They've been happening -just- often enough so far in 2018 to be annoying, but not frequently recurring to the point to make CP unbearable. At least to me.
PP does nothing
1st line does nothing
Go down early
Choked away lead
Brodie lays an egg
Backlund takes a stupid penalty
Bennett takes an even stupider penalty
Dougie does anything dumb period (penalty, soft play, etc)

Garth snow has odd roster management. I’m pretty sure he kept Eric boulton into his very late 30s, and signs depth players like Cizikas, Clutterbuck, Mayfiled and Pelech to long term deals. Strange.
- Flames dominate beginning to end
- Tkachuk the man with two goals and the winner
- Hamonic gets an assist in homecoming
- Smith hurt and is helped off the ice
