Funny how our slow team didn’t look as slow tonight either.

Brodie looked more like we expected from him tonight. Would it ever be nice for him to play like that consistently. A couple of years ago he looked like a #1 in the making, this year he’s barely hanging on as a top 4 guy.

Feel bad for Gillies, but he was fighting it all night. I would’ve pulled him after the first 2. Hopefully Rittich can get back to how had played most of the year behind Smith.

They fell down early 2-0 then Gio was Gio and decided he wasn't going down without a fight. Before his goal he jumped up and got that pass from Monahan and couldn't convert (crashed into end boards).

After that Brodie was jumping up too (Tkachuk gave him that great feed) I was thinking there must be some hole in how the Pens defend as the left side D was really able to walk in.

I just think the desperation of being down 2-0, Gio leading the way and it actually working by pushing PIT back on their heels had the D jumping up.

Actually Hamonic made some great passes to allow guys to attack from the middle of the ice and they generated zone time and quality chances. When the D are jumping up and the team attacks the middle of the ice it works wonders.

What has happened way too often for some reason is the pattern of the Flames attack: D to D and then up along the boards. Pucks go into attacking zone along the boards and then if recovered it gets sent back to the point for some wristers.

This is indicative of a lack of confidence so you do the safe play, go up the boards.

Gio is hands down the best defenceman on the team and the heart and soul of it too. He willed them back into this game.

He definitely shows he wants it. I'll give him that.

CONTEXT

Jinja Ninja is not much of a source

Sometimes the easiest explanation is probably the right one.

I'd put money on it being exactly what it looks like.

yeah but you want to be dramatic about it

You don't know who it was towards or what was said towards Hamonic (possibly something about his family ect.) in which case I hardly blame him

Again our source on this is "Jinja Ninja"

Honestly he seems to be looking towards the ice...my guess is Phil, which would be ####ing hilarious

zamler · 03-05-2018, 10:21 PM

Mocking Kessel for being fat is hilarious? To each his own I guess. I wish we had that tub of lard on our team.

Something was said to him first obviously...anyway we don't have the context so this is all just hearsay. JINJA NINJA

some of you guys need to lighten up

There is no source, it's a video.

A video with no context other than a caption from Jinja Ninja

We don't know who it was towards or what was said to hamonic...was it even fat shaming? maybe it was some big roid rager with a wearing a small t-shirt in the front row.

Point is we don't really know what happened

anyway you guys have fun being offended...obviously no more game discussion so I'm out

blender · 03-05-2018, 10:34 PM

Am I out of touch here?
I don't care if Hamonic wants to mock some salad-dodger. It's definitely insensitive, but hardly the end of the world.
I actually laughed.

Why are you getting all bent out of shape? If it's nothing great, on the surface it looks like poor form from Hamonic no matter what might have been said to him. I expect better from the players.

Cecil Terwilliger · 03-05-2018, 10:39 PM

Lol.

Puffs his cheeks and walks funny. Worse than hitler.

Versteeg says he’s gonna #### a guy’s wife, frequently trash talks opponents in the raunchiest way possible. Hilarious guy we all love.

Salad-dodger is awesome, haha. Never heard that one before.
