There is, which is why the Blues won't be taking back Neal in a Tarasenko for Kylington deal :P

Just about every post is analyzing the play of the Flames or how players are doing.

Line blenders only work when a coach has a surplus of players to fill a range of various roles. Peters has this luxury.

Has a team ever fired a head coach and the interim coach in the same season? I'd say the Blues are worse off than the Flyers.

Bahaha wtf that goal.

It’s really tiring reading negativity all the time, like the Smith debate in the Philly PGT where we won a really exciting game and guys just ragged on Smith. It would be nice to have a positive thread for a positive game.

But if its about a play in game, in the gdt that we're talking about, it seems reasonable to discuss it?

I'm having a very hard time figuring out what you're going on about. That's what a GT thread is for.

I love that Gaudreau backchecks hard. Up 5-1 on the second of a back-to-back

Naw, ad graphics, coaches staring off into the distance and wide angle shots of the ice are clearly more interesting.

Flames looking a bit sloppy

Kylington and Andersson are dancing out there

[redforever]

We want 6.

I think thats the distinction betweendumping on a player and commenting on the game. But sometimes it gets blurred because the player messes up, posters comment, but then it moves on to "he sucks".

Definitely sitting back a bit

Nice rush by Neal and Backs and Chuckles. drew a penalty too.

[Deegee]

Neal looked decent there.

[gamesaver]

Kylington is strong.

Rick Ball channeling his inner Bob Cole. I swear that's the 4th or 5th time he's called him Billington instead of Binnington.

I thought Neal has had a bunch of nice touches and passes today. Some miscues but overall not bad. He seems to be the '3rd' forward on most lines so lots of give-n-goes and quick touches go between the 'pairs' he joins, resulting in less touches so his mistakes become more pronounced and maybe less touches is why he is sometimes lost when anticipating his teammates.
