We can’t even take the zone with the puck, we could swap Tkachuk for a safety cone and it wouldn’t make the difference.

Vancouver stand the line and the flames forwards for whatever reason do too, so can’t shake it in and our forwards can’t skate fast enough to beat Vancouver on the dump. Same thing as the last 2 games.

All I can say is that we agree to disagree. I don't see that at all, very rarely anyways over these past few games against the Canucks.

Is it just me or do the pucks seem to be bouncing around way more this year than usual? Passes never seem to stay flat.

I heard somewhere there was an issue with the new fancy ones with the chip in them for puck tracking, and I'm wondering if they've got another bad batch they've been using in the North division because it seems to be particularly bad on all the Canadian games I've watched.

It was top 5 for a few weeks.

But the lack of special teams adjustments to counter the Canucks is befuddling.

Yes, other teams have made adjustments, Ward has yet to notice.

[Enoch Root]

VAN's first PP had no shots either

Maybe if we get 4 of them, it'll start to roll.

Whoa, whoa tkachuk. A hockey game is not the time or the place for that kind of roughhousing.

Someone should tell Tkachuk to start playing hockey again

[direwolf]

Can't believe we're losing to this garbage Canucks team.

Actually that's a lie. I can believe it.

[TheIronMaiden]

Jeez not a fan on 4th liners playing with our two best offensive players.

[Royle9]

Simon... what a line killer, he literally does nothing at all it’s like having 2 forwards out.

Can we not give a kid on the taxi squad a shot by now?? Like it literally won’t hurt at all, Phillips/Gawdin maybe even give Zary 9 games for the hell of it because he can’t be any worse.

[GioforPM]

Gaudreau is still pulling up. I want him to drive to the net.

I love the guy but I'm definitely starting to get frustrated that I only notice him after whistles lately

[djsFlames]

Zone exits are hard mommy.

Too many canucks sticks to pass to.

[heep223]

Hahaha Bennett with loads of time puts it over the net by 2 feet and it runs around to the Flames zone

[TheScorpion]

Dube can't handle the puck today.

[djsFlames]

Bless the playoff beast line.
