[GT] Flames @ Florida: Jan. 4 2022

[Bonded]

I sure did not miss Ritchie

[gvitaly]

Zadorov needs a few more shifts with Gaudreau... they have a bit of chemistry going.

[PostandIn]

Gettin tooled here in the 2nd. We won’t get a PP tonight.

[ComixZone]

Depth seems like it’s getting crushed tonight. Everytime the Monahan line goes out it gets pulverized.

[gt4flames]

Ive got the Florida feed and these announcers are night and day better than the flames usual suspects.

...This is a great hockey game.

[Yobbo]

Florida with a big pushback right now. Need to weather this and do some pushing back of our own.

[bigrangy]

Looking at this Florida team they’ve got a whole extra line of good forwards compared to Calgary. The Flames 4th line all would struggle to get ice in Florida.

I didnt get a sense of dominance. They aren’t Tampa or Colorado - edit: in my 1 period of viewing. I don’t pretend to have watching their games.

For ms, Florida is a much better team than Colorado. The Panthers and Tampa are close. It's great to see the Flames give Florida such a challenge.

Depth advantage Florida so far.

3rd/4th lines running around a bit. Those guys need to simplify and make better decisions to not hurt them.

Sooooo no Sam Bennett means no penalties for FLA

[PostandIn]

Markstrom’s been down and flailing a lotta times tonight.

[djsFlames]

When did Montour become prime Erik Karlsson.

[Bonded]

Flames getting beaten to pucks and making sloppy passes this period

He’s carrying the Flames right now.

[djsFlames]

Sucks to see us getting exposed trying to move the puck up ice.

But we're also getting our chances from the top line. You just pray they come up big for us.

[Moneyhands23]

Definitely being out skated. Gotta hold on and regroup for the 3rd

[activeStick]

Haven't seen the Flames have to deal with such sustained pressure against them all season

Really strong saves by Markstrom in this period so far

The 4th line was a strength last year. This season it's a pit of despair.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Florida is relentless. Might not be miles better than the Flames, but they are better. Great forward depth.

[dissentowner]

Is there a softer bigger floater in the NHL right now than Sean Monahan?
