This. Anyway, lets say Monahan isn’t as good (though he has more career points). That puts him at worst in third place in his draft year, after being drafted 6th. By a long shot.
Barkov has 12 points in 10 games, Monahan has 7 in 12..... You're telling me we wouldn't have won at least a couple more games if Monahan was producing at even close to that level?
Geez why dont we just trade Monahan for Barkov then, so simple!

I'm not saying Monahan is a bad player, I'm saying he hasn't produced so far this year. He is usually close to a point per game and can be counted on for 30 goals or so. Right now he's on pace for half of that and about 47 points.
I know right? Can you believe both Gio and Andersson hit the post on the same powerplay? That was unbelievable. I thought for sure the second one would be in.

So Monahan isn’t quite as good as Barkov - big surprise. Look at the draft position of the three best players each team put out for the start of overtime - Florida had to suck big time to get those players -a first, second and third overall. The Flames iced a 6th overall, fourth rounder and an undrafted player.

Very odd and wild game. Tkachuk looked great but also had moments of defensive lapses. Third line looked solid all night, first lines needs to up the gears but it’s early days. Glad they got the win but Peters needs to get the teams defensive game in order
Quite the game. Love the jam from Mangiapane, the guy is fearless out there. Sucks to see Czarnik get injured — he looked good out there as well.
Wasn’t sad to see Janko and Lucic stapled to the bench in the third (I’m not sure they even saw the ice). Lucic had at 3-4 giveaways and Janko has been soft all season. -2 tonight.
Flames PP looked much better and were unlucky not to convert. I doubted Bennett on the third line but he kept at it and fluttered one in. Those are the kinds of goals he’s going to score so I’m glad he got one tonight, it was a big one.
Question of the night: did Tkachuk get a hat trick tonight? Saw one hat tossed right after he scored (but it only made it to the bench), another two were tossed after Rittich made his second save (one actually made it to ice level)... I don’t think Tkachuk gets credit for a goal even though he scored the last one in the shootout — so do you toss the hat or not?

I agree, the flames have drafted well with the picks that they have had and my point isn't that Barkov is better. It's that Monahan hasn't produced as much as he usually does. If or when he starts producing the way he can again, the flames will be more dangerous and win more games because of it.
Any update on Tro or Ekblad? I think Calgary usually kills Florida at home but hopefully they pick up another W.

If they can pull off a win against Flames i'll have a bit more faith in the team. I just got a very bad feeling about this game
Quote:
from 31 thoughts 24. Speaking of good goalies, a scouting buddy was raving last week about Florida first-rounder Spencer Knight: "His team may not be that good, but he is."
Quote:
The Flames may only be 5-5-1, but Calgary won 50 games last season and they have some of the most skilled players in the NHL. Tonight will be no easy task, especially without Matheson and potentially Trocheck.
Quote:
Las Vegas has us as the underdog in tonights’ game…so, Calgary is not a team we’re "supposed" to beat.
Quote:
This is one of those games where Bob is going to have to be lights out.
Quote:
Ruh Roh, apparently the Flames' top line has struggled a lot in the last few games so I'm expecting a Gaudreau hatter or something ridiculous.
Too Much Man
Quote:
They cannot handle both the Still man, and the Stral man
Quote:
And Con Man.
So much man in this club.
Quote:
Don't forget the Hoff Man
Ek-cidental Own Goal
Quote:
For once Ekblad is on his guy, yet manages to have the puck go off his skate. This some Bad Luck Brian ####.
Quote:
Eckblad. First of the season.
Quote:
I feel like there were about ten goals scored off of Ekblad’s skate last year.
Quote:
Off the skate
Quote:
And now we take a #### penalty. Yeah we’re losing this game
Quote:
Started a bit slow, terrible PP. that goal by the flames was fluky. Otherwise I like our game. Our 4th line is so damn good
Quote:
Hoping this is our bad period and we come out swinging in the second. We look pretty pathetic out there right now.
Quote:
I’m noticing a pattern. The Panthers seem to bring the intensity starting midway into the second period.
Quote:
Big save early and another one now on the PP and I just saw Barky take a faceoff and this is what happened after... whoa
Quote:
Ekblad looks like a Buick clumsily going through the crease
Quote:
We are losing faceoffs 14-2!
No wonder we are doing nothing offensively
Chucky’s First, in the 2nd
Quote:
Damn you gotta stop that one.
Quote:
Woof Bob.
Quote:
Sucking at faceoffs led to that
Quote:
Stralman has to get a piece of that but yeah bad goal anyways
Quote:
Bob very unimpressive on that goal against.
Quote:
Bobrovsky, what a waste of money
Chucky’s Second, in the 3rd
Quote:
Unbelievable pass by Frolik.
Quote:
that was too easy for the flames.
win the face off, skate right down, with a little tick tock passing and boom.
I don’t know what bob was expecting…Tkachuk made that look too easy.
Quote:
Caught us napping
Quote:
We’re going to lose this game because every chance they get is quality.
Quote:
Another 3 goal game by BobbyRovsky
Quote:
whoever the dman was, that was not the way to defend a 2 on 1...he basically didn't do anything
Quote:
Tkachuk is so annoying. Would love him here.
Quote:
2 on 1 is never fun.
Biggest problem?
Calgary FOW 82%
Florida FOW 18%
B, I, And Gio!
Quote:
3 odd man rushes. 3 goals.
Gg flames.
#### this defense
Quote:
Every goal by Calgary is with same formula.
Quote:
We have to be one of the worst teams on odd man rushes
Quote:
Oh no! We suck again!
Quote:
Geez how many times will I have to hear Randy Moller say "well the panthers got stuck in a line change" before we are more careful with these transitions??
Quote:
Whelp that might be the dagger :\
Quote:
We must have the worst defense in the league, unreal
Quote:
Another 4 goals against. Beautiful
Quote:
There was a complete mix up in defensive responsibility. Stralman didn’t make an effort to get back and Dadonov realized late that he was the closest to get back. So he was a step late getting to Tkachuk because of the confusion on the defensive coverage.
The next shift was also a complete blown coverage when weegar was the only D back and was basically at the bench. We still need to figure out this team defense thing…
Quote:
Oh my god you have to be f'ing kidding me
Quote:
someone pinched too late and led to the oddman rush which leads to the 4th goal.
Quote:
Can’t pinch against a fast team like the Flames without getting burned
Quote:
Pun intended?
Bizarre Bennett Copypasta
Quote:
It's the last minute of game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. Everything is on the line. I'm on a breakaway. I lock eyes with the goalie. Shoot. Score. Horn. I did it. Sam Bennet skates over. "good shooting kid, you sure got the puck in deep". I smile shyly. "thanks" I reply, blushing. Sam Bennet tenderly removes my helmet and brushes my sweaty hair off my forehead. We lock eyes. His moustache quivers as if in anticipation. We both lean in. How will his moustache feel on my lips? I can't hold back anymore.
Quote:
This is a ****show.
Quote:
This is a strange game . Another horse **** goal
Quote:
That is the weirdest goal I’ve ever seen.
Quote:
Oh for F's sake
Quote:
we still have an issue holding on to leads
30 sec later
or
1 minute later
or
2 mins. later
Quote:
Seriously how the hell did that goal happen?
Quote:
Honestly, 3 of the Flames goals were absolute **** luck. Not much you can even do or say about it.
Quote:
What the ####ing circus shot was that..
Quote:
Is it too much to ask that we ####ing win games in regulation instead of blowing leads all the goddamn time. We can never just finish games.
Quote:
What the hell is with our games in Calgary. The Saddledome has some weird voodoo for this team
Quote:
ugh….welcome to the new NHL where the score is 10-10
Rittich 2 for 2 in the SO
Quote:
When we go to SO I knows its an automatic loss. So piss poor. Really baffling with the skills of Huby and Barkov.
Anybody else underwhelmed by Bob so far? Feel like we've has a decent sample size. Past his prime? Other theories?
Quote:
Is it me or is our shootout just terrible this year?
Quote:
Bob getting lit up at will
Quote:
We didn’t even deserve a point so disappointed but I’ll take it. We jsut suck as the shootout.
Quote:
Rittich falls on his ass and gets the save. That kind of night. Good point. 3 day break will do some
Players good imo
Quote:
my god.... what a **** end to such a hard fought loss
Quote:
****ing stupid loss after having a third period lead. Not good enough defensively or in net.
This storyline of epic comeback followed by deflating OT/SO loss is really ****ing lame
Quote:
FU#$$%$ BULL@##$$%
we got a point but I’m furious.
terrible Shootout. still crappy power play. I’m not going to bring up the missed 3 on 1 again.
