[GDT] Flames at Leafs - Does anyone care?

Careful! Can't say those things around these parts.

Not always watching does not equate to not sticking with them. It doesn't need to be divisive.

I fall into the camp that I have certain expectations of a team I'm watching to give max effort and they've fallen well short of that. It's an awful lot of time to commit to watching every game when 60% of it is players going through the motions.

Same here. I go $20 a games with one guy. Gonna be into him for a couple hundred by the end of the season

Hope for the best, mentally prepare for the worst.

I am looking for the effort tonight. Win or lose. We have seen the potentials of these players. Full 60 minutes of trying. Hoping for the best outcome.

Go Flames Go!

Well I guess in the first few minutes we will know if there is a problem in the dressing room.
If no one hits, chirps or flips a puck at Muzzin, then unfortunately we will have our answer.

Le sigh.....

Jake Muzzin not playing tonight apparently

Yeah that's me.

I'm always interested.

A Flames game is a Flames game.

I share a lot of the disappointment with the majority on the site, but I'm just not that wallow in negativity guy.

This season was always a last one with the core that I don't particularly love season ... and we're seeing that. They're not as bad as things are going now, but probably not good enough to go all that far this season anyway.

Hope they squeak in and do some damage.

Took a stick to the face near the very end of the Habs game yesterday from Toffoli on a shot follow through. Look pretty gross though I didn’t see the actual damage it inflicted. If he’s missing a game I’d imagine he broke something for sure.

[Toonage]

Well, at least that takes the Tkachuk concern out of it. Meaning we should see him play without always looking over his shoulder.

Yeah, they aren't a true contender so hoping they squeak in and get hot at the right time is about all you can do with them. Even Markstrom getting hot at the right time could be enough to do some damage.

It's almost like the Iggy/Kipper era again.

I want to watch... but I’ll probably struggle to get open enough...for my wife to pass me the remote. Even then I’ll bobble the pass...and take too long to decide which channel...to put the TV on...before my 4 year old steals the remote...and goes in alone on a breakaway to the cartoon channel. After that...I’ll be benched...for the rest of the night...awaiting online commentary on my performance. Will I be traded tomorrow? Nope

[Monahammer]

Guess someone else is going to have to take a few punches to rhe face in lieu of Muzzin. I vote they choose Marner to bear this cross.

[Wastedyouth]

It's gonna be rough. Matthews has a ridiculous goal scoring streak going and the Flames can't defend for the life of them.

7-3 Leafs?

That 3rd pairing is scary. I'm glad Kylington draws in, but Ward better work hard to keep them away from Matthews line

The Bennett bouncing continues lol, no wonder he's confused.

Pretty much what everybody has been asking for. Maybe the Flames should just fire Ward and we'll send a representative from Calgarypuck to each practice and game?

He doesn't even match up properly when he has last change.
