[PGT] I'd 8-4 that game to be the norm. Chicago wins

[zamler]

I was curious so I checked, here's our plus players.
Ryan
Dube
Brodie
Giordano
Bennett
Rinaldo

[Manhattanboy]

Now that the anger has worn off I’m relaxed.

One crappy team coming off a five game losing streak beats another crappy team at home following a road trip where latter crappy team beat a few other really crappy teams but lost to one really really crappy team coming off a ten game more or less losing streak.

Ya nothing to see here.

Neither team was exceptional in their own zones and I thought Lehner did make fewer bad reads. The goal where Saad looked off Rittich was a pretty bad one to give up, as he was in position, and seemed square, then cheated towards a weak side pass.

See, I thought Saad made a really decent move 1 on 1 to get Rittich to open up the 5 hole just enough and tucked it home. The Hockey Night in Canada guys had the same observation, all credit to Saad

Totally agree on the lackadaisical which somehow even seems diplomatic, I would have elected for brutal *chuckle*

Can you at least lose by something respectable

You gotta go and give up 8?

Twice in two weeks at home.

Why can you play relentless, fast, responsible, smart hockey on the road and then serve the fans this slop at home?

What makes the saddledome ice so different that it suddenly turns your brains and legs to mush?

How can Talbot and Rittich go from elite play on the road to this, giving up the first shot and every third one after that?

What gives?

I'll be there monday so please don't serve me the same nasty gruel. I have no interest in watching the Ducks do *that* to us.

Thank you.

Yeah

The revised list of + players tonight is Kylington and Davidson at + 1 each

Edit: saw the revision by zamler, referencing the season

[zamler]

SO wins are saving this team from being completely out of it not sure how I feel about that.

Hopefully they are doing a crash course with Ward in maximizing and identifying kinks and working them out

[Flash Walken]

Losing 8-4 really wipes out those goal differential gains from winning 6-2.

Oh well, at least the home fans got to enjoy the 6-2 win and the 8-4 beating happened on the road.

[topfiverecords]

If Hamrlik wasn’t out injured we would have won.

[TheScorpion]

It's honestly a shame the Flames lost tonight. Waste of great performances from Gaudreau, Bennett, Lucic, and Dube.

No matter. Here are the Flames' upcoming games.

vs Anaheim
vs Boston
@ Detroit
@ Boston
@ Nashville
@ Tampa Bay
@ Florida
vs Columbus
vs Arizona
vs Vegas
vs NYI
vs Winnipeg

These twelve games will be critical towards guaranteeing the Flames a playoff berth. So long as they get at least eighteen points out of these games, no matter how, I will be happy.

9-3-0? Cool. 7-1-4? Also cool. 8-2-2? Super cool.

I think they can do it. If they do, they'll have at least 84 points in 72 games and will likely be able to make the playoffs with ease. That would put them on pace for roughly 96 points.

Honestly even if they go 6-0-6 somehow I'd be down. Go Flames!

Loved the Lucic interview on After Hours. Seems like a really good guy and I think he was a bit embarrassed and felt bad about the Oiler games.

Dube's pass for Bennett's 2nd goal was straight up obscene:

Of course SNET sucks, so neither Randorf or DeBrusk even seemed to mention the insane pass, and the replays all missed it.

The Chicago broadcast was much better for the goal:

This team is going to lose to the Ducks and beat Boston, aren't they?

Doesn't make any sense, so it will probably happen.

No , Debrusk mentioned it was the good play of Dube to set up the goal.

[Roof-Daddy]

Oilers, Coyotes, Knights, Preds all win and Flames blow another one to keep the inconsistency real.

That couldn't have gone much worse.

Not during the goal call and replays. DeBrusk doesn't even mention Dube, which is my point.

He even skips over Dube by saying "little flip pass out of the zone (Kylington), Bennett's on top of it..."
