It's what Russian hackers get paid to do, although I can't for the life of me imagine what interest Vladimir Putin could possibly have with the Flames fan community.

Do you post about anything other than Neal? Serious question.

Tkachuk-Backlund-Hathaway - It's defensive strong, has special teams balance, and has a hard-nosed corners RW. Hathaway was scoring at the same rate as Jankowski and Mangiapane in the AHL, he could be a David Moss type player with more 5v5 time.

I agree about Hathaway but Frolik has yet to be knocked off that line. Hopefully when he’s healthy he comes back at the level he was playing at.

Still not worried about Neal despite some red flags. In fact, with the team playing this well despite him not contributing as he usually does afford him a fair amount of runway. More patience is required. I have no doubt in my mind he will be important when the chips are down down the road.

If it was 1-1 I think we see a different 2nd.

yeah, huge leads definitely lead to teams not being as intense, but they sagged in the second yesterday too in a 1-0 game. we know they have the best 3rd period differential but i think they also have the worst 2nd period goal differential. might just be one of those quirks that evens out over time, we'll see

I just tuned in and missed that. They aren't supposed to be our skilled line, and should just keep it simple and make the safe play.

Frolik did bounce around a bit before getting injured though. He was on the fourth line for a few games and he was even scratched. I'd say it's very much up in the air where he ends up when getting back.

Playing way too cute in the last bit of the second there. Need to tighten it up, feast on the chances we get and generally simplify to avoid sloppiness.

Why is there a feature for Maroon on a Flames broadcast?

They're playing the Blues in St.Louis? Seems okay.

Maroon doesn't come across as a genius. I like his kid though.

What should be targeted next is posters who make passive-aggressive swipes at others. Nothing is worse in a Post Game thread then first posts that go out of their way just to take shots at others.

Is there any possibility to not continue on with this?

Ya but no one cares

Didn't mention CGY being in the mix for his services.

That's kind of what I just said isn't it ? Wierd reply.

For sure, I love the chemistry with Frolik on that line.
