[oldschoolcalgary]

hopefully that lights a fire under the flames

[Mattman]

That's Flames we know and love. Let's go boys!!!!

[Torchdemall]

That’s how you execute on a pp! Damn!

[flylock shox]

Hopefully that wakes them up. Otherwise looked like they were going to sleepwalk to a crappy loss.

Jeebus - dating Rittich was fine in two losses has nothing to do with Smith. And what makes you think Rittich isn’t the main starter now?

[thymebalm]

PP1 is amazing.

Here's the game plan no more shots against.

1st goal - bad goal
2nd goal- no chance.

Goallllllllllllll

That’s true. Like I said, Rittich was fine in both games (though he was outduelednin the TB game).

So Bennett gets a bad call against making up the missed call on Brodie and Neal takes his place on the second line?

I think Rittich is the starter now I don’t know where I hinted that I didn’t think that. I’m saying if the flames just got average goaltending from smith to start the season they would have probably 3 more wins. Rittich was excellent in both games, he was just as good as Domingue was during regulation and got slightly outplayed in the shootout vs a goalie who was playing out of his skin. Seems like you aren’t a fan of Rittich and I just can’t understand why. He’s looked better than any other goalie the flames have had between the pipes since 34.

Flames woke up a bit, playing better now.

[GioforPM]

Why blow the play down there?

[Oling_Roachinen]

Why did they blow the whistle?

[GioforPM]

Close Sam.

Yes you can say Rittich is rolling. Wins have got nothing to do with it.

vs Tampa
Deflection off Giordano's skate through traffic
Deflection off Brodie's stick on an odd man rush
Deflection off Hathaway's stick
1 greasy goal where one forward covered the front of the net against three guys while BOTH defenseman got caught behind the net
Barely any goal support in a 7 (!) round shootout

vs Dallas
Deflection off Backlund's stick with a pass from behind the net, no chance
Left one on one in front of the net on another goal, no chance
.929 SV%
0 goal support

Our own players have scored twice as many goals in Rittich in the last two games as our opponents have

Benny gotta convert more of these grade A chances.

[Mattman]

Red cars we need more!!!!

Puck was a little in his feet. Had to shovel it.
