This didn't age well.

Oh, nice rush there by the Flames

[GioforPM]

Blues have really read Rittich’s passes well tonight.

[TheScorpion]

How does Stone miss the net from there?

[Beatle17]

Really notice the difference in break outs. All five Blues players in their own end and give the defence someone to pass to, Flames have 2-3 forwards at center and the D have nobody to pass to to get a quick out.

[direwolf]

Dammit Flames, you gotta score there. Don't get too many golden opportunities like that.

[Francis's Hairpiece]

Hit the God damn net!!!!

[Robo]

Noooo come on guys convert on those odd man rushes

[Jore]

maybe the player who scored a hat trick in the ahl tonight would have hit the net there

[GioforPM]

Bsd!

[btimbit]

Say what you want about his offensive abilities, but I really like Reider in his own zone

[zamler]

We are never going to score Blues will walk away with a shutout.

[MisterJoji]

Johnny seems to have a lot more jump this game.

We have two defensemen tonight that can't really breakout (Stone, Hamonic) so it'll be a tough go. And unfortunately for us defense activation is critical in today's NHL.

Got to get Kylington back in there, as soon as you can.

[GioforPM]

Win or lose, this is a good test and more playoff like than normal.

It certainly hasn't had much meaning recently in terms of wins or losses. In both games this week and every game on the recent road trip except the shutout last week in Columbus, the team that scored first lost the game.

Like the pace to the 2nd so far.

Sad to seee the blues 4th line just own the puck the entire time against the flames first frigin line. Another big western conference team the flames would maybe be able to take to 5 games in a playoff series.
