The Flames defence has looked solid and seemed to fit Sutters system, I haven’t seen to many blatant give aways or mis coverage. Last year it seemed like we would be good for 10-15 mistakes a game with 5-7 being solid scoring chances.

The money would work!
Eichel $10M, Monahan $6.375M + Zadorov $3.75M = $10.125M.

Backlund will be fine, just as he has been perennially for the last 8+ years.

Personally, haven’t seen it.
Kylington is where he belongs, for now.

I don’t think it’s complaining, more just commenting.

Powerplay Quarterback

Let's talk about the number of shots they're putting on vs last season. Yes I know, not the best quality, but it's something.

I heard he was talking trash about MacKinnon over in Russia.
Maybe he racked up some bad juju.

I could see MacKinnon being a lil primadonna-ish.

Apparently Nate was a little peeved about it.
He compared him to Michael Jordan or something. Of course MacKinnon would be mad about that.

He did mention how Mackinnon freaks out about bad passes in practice. After tonight I think we all know why that may be.

I'm digging the Francis tone right now. I have never said that. Ever.

No, it’s not the expectation. It was an observation. As for being behind two of the fastest guys on the team - shockers. Mangiapane has a hot hand and he’s been grabbing the puck.

GOAT!

Monny injured his hip in GAME SIX of last season. He's talked about how painful it was just to walk around the house, nevermind playing 50 more NHL games before coming out of the lineup once we missed the playoffs. That was the first season of his entire career that he didn't score 20-30 goals.
He's had surgery and rehab in a shortened off-season and missed most of the preseason. Maybe let's give Mr. Overtime more than 5 periods to get his game back.

That he did, hehe I was actually thinking about that too. I can see why Nate would slap a couple of pucks at Z with Z's passing. He was just giving an example of how MacKinnon demands excellence and commitment from his teammates in everything that has to do with the game.

Kylington may make some mistakes but that’s what Zadorov is doing anyway.
But playing Kylington over Zadorov would make Treliving look very stupid. Sutter is no fool.
