Flamss looked pretty unimpressive but ran into AHL-calibre goaltending from Varlamov tonight while Gillies was adequate. I'll take the W but I would like to see more next game, especially from the top line.
Maybe you can tell us a story about how cornmeal came to be.

Big win, but can’t take the foot of the pedal now. Even bigger game against Dallas on tuesday and then probably a pissed off Colorado the night after. Good to see Frolik and Backlund get off the schnide. When this entire line is playing confident, they make us so much harder to beat.

You are wrong.

They did exactly what they were supposed to and but for a 3 minute stretch choked the Avs out. It was an impressive way to win for a team that struggles with 60 min efforts especially against weaker teams.

What more could Gillies have done besides that fluke goal he let in?

Making the 3 hour trek for this one. Reeeaaallllyy hope they at least put an effort in unlike the Edmonton game.
Giordano is usually good for a goal against us, probably short handed, too, so we're already down 1-0.

Just like he drew it up.

Haha funny but very important goal, almost feel bad for the goalie there.

did you hear the little snicker when they said Siemens had the assist or was that just me?
Quote:
After that lucky goal from Mack, Varly basically gets a Mulligan on that first goal. He's been solid the last 2 games and was hung out to dry on that 2 on 1 by lazy back checking from our forwards. He still looks a lot slower than years past going side to side, but I'm willing to give him more leeway considering who we're icing on defense and Zads sudden dip in play.

Thats what you get when you put Warsofsky on the penalty kill and when you dress him at all. Great coaching.

That was such a stupid ****ing dirtbag play by Zadorov. He's gone from "dumb" to "Yakupov dumb".

Y'all are emo right now. Z has been great this year and far exceeded my expectations.
Unfortunately this looks like the end of the road playoff wise. I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. Happy with what the team accomplished this season overall. A definite step forward. The teams surrounding the Avs for the final wild card spot are just better teams. I think we'll be right there in a few years.

Depression, rough game... could have been different if scoring on the pp in second (believe we had two posts)? Calgary playing a really strong third.
Looking good for Canada this season, Jets, Leafs and Flames.

Semyon garbage tonight.

I hope Calgary makes it in. Rather them than St. Louis.

Seeing that Colorado is on Calgary's tail, you'd think they'd come out with some jump but they look like they have boulders tied to their feet. Calgary already up 2-0.
Edit 1: Mackinnon just scored on a floater from about halfway between the Flames blue line and the centre line
Edit 2: Colorado hits two posts on their powerplay and Calgary scores on theirs. That Nikita Zydorov is one terrible defenseman. He makes Benning look competent.
Quote:
SOG 23-13 for AVS
Flames winning 3-1.
go figure
Colorado loses this game and they can kiss any chance of a playoff spot goodbye.

Quite a funny post, I had a few chuckles. When the team scored 5 goals, FIVE, it's not because the team played well, it's because the other team's goalie an AHL-calibre goalie. And then, when the team's goalie had a .966 save percentage, that's just adequate. WOW, I guess the goalie has to have shutout every game for him then.

Don’t even disagree with this. Flames have played considerably better games and Varlamov wasn’t at his best. Zadarov pretty much cost his team a couple goals by himself and if the Avs dangerous PP had connected which it was close, the game could’ve been different. But I’ll give credit where credit is due, the team choked out that 3rd period to perfection.
funny but very important goal, almost feel bad for the goalie there.
