[PGT] Flames defeat Ducks in OT Shootout!

[djsFlames]

Very excited if Ruzicka is drawing in.

Looks like Sutter is losing his patience with the depth vets that are hurting the team with poor shifts in the last few games.

He wants to be able to roll four lines confidently. Last night he had to go down to three. Probably wasn't happy with that.

Love the accountability that Sutter puts on the players up and down the line up.

Except if Pitlick isn't at practice, it's an injury issue, not a punishment / change the lineup, issue.

I've seen it happen in a number of writers' organizations.

I always thought it was a "safe seat" phenomenon. Like being a conservative in NW Calgary, or Mitch McConnell in Kentucky. Is Mitch McConnell an amazing politician, or is he just in the right place where there is no other talent to supplant him. Sounds like Spector...guys a bumbler.

'Always Earned, Never Given' has resumed its rightful place in this dressing room. You are held accountable for your actions and the results of those actions under D. Sutter and our Flames are the better for it.

Whatever gets Ruzicka in.. I think it will be an upgrade.

I think there is both a hunger to impress the coach and a wariness to disappoint him. These are very good things for this group to help bring the best out of them. Its exactly what they've needed since Bob was here. Excepy now they have the skill to compete, which they didn't have then. We just needed to get the compete out of them. An unexpected side benefit is Sutter also looks to be the Lucic whisperer and playing under D has rejuvenated his offensive game.

I'm really excited for what the results of these next two seasons brings. And you have to imagine Tkachuk and Gaudreau are loving being a part of it.

Would also allow us to call up another player no?? Pelletier would be pretty exciting!

First the aspergers thing in the covid subforum, now this.

Nothing like ragging on people who didn't get the blessing of a level playing field because of no fault of their own.

Don't know who raised these posters, but their caregivers clearly didn't prepare them with the most basic rules of tactfulness for operating in modern day society.

Sometimes it just isn't enough.



Lest we forget the season when we had a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Overall pick on defense at the same time.

He’s just not that bright. Always angry at nothing, always knows everything, always the loudest. Best thing is to ignore his posts.

It really hurts because I just barely survived an icu stay in 2019 which (again) left me with a life altering change (tracheostomy). To fight hard to survive only to be belittled for it really sucks! Thanks for the post.

Now..Back to hockey!! GO FLAMES GO!

You’re right — the unforgettable Andrei Zyuzin

Wonder who the biggest busts at 2nd overall have been. He’s up there

Also had three straight years where we had two 3rd Overall Picks and missed the playoffs altogether. What exciting times those were.

Johnny Makarov has a history of name calling and immature posts. This is nothing new.

I am sorry you had to read that Flames_Gimp.
