Fixed.

Both moves are well known and telegraphed at this point.
You think he’d spend a while on like 3 moves and just master them. Shouldn’t be hard for guys with that much skill.

I'll give the Canucks credit. They're a desperate team and they came to play tonight. Flames with a very sloppy period, but thankfully they managed to tie it up. Hoping for a much more Flames-like effort in the 2nd.

Default Flames @ Canucks

You wonder if all those slashes to Johnny’s hands made him more of a shooter on breakaways vs his dirty dekes from a couple years ago
... as in, he doesn’t want more slashes (not loss of skill from damage)

No newsflash but the Backlund line has to be a lot better.

Looks like Randorf just reviewed the 1st period Petterson highlights during the break.
