[GT] flames vs Kings

[Winsor_Pilates]

Losing two 100 point linemates would hurt anyone; but Lindholm was/is the least of my concerns amongst forwards.
He's too complete to not contribute.

That said, I had the misfortune of listening to Boomer's Barn Burner this morning, and they were just saying that Lindholm was pouting for not having his buddies back. They also mentioned that Sutter sending a message to Huberdeau and that they really need to figure things out, and essentially mocked the lines all episode. Hope they enjoy eating crow tomorrow.

There was a really interesting (to me, at least) comment from Sutter about Lindholm being the best player on the team, and that you can't really experiment with those guys, you just have to give him linemates he's comfortable with (paraphrasing, and trying to remember what I heard, so may not be 100% accurate).

Yeah no. That goal was all on Mangiapane. His man skated right by him untouched. And Quick has been hot and cold tonight. Half of the goals on him people would have screamed about if Markstrom had given them.

Lindholm wasn't pouting I have no doubt his wifes pregnancy was weighing on him the whole time considering what happened to them.

Boomer is an idiot.

Haha, what the hell are you talking about, Cassie?

Five guys being together doesn't generate speed. Speed is generated by moving the puck forward. JFC.

It's also on the player to earn a spot. There was a clear hole on the wing in the top 9 and Ruzicka didn't take it, none of the kids did. But good on him for taking advantage when injury created an opportunity.

She tries so hard to use the right lingo…

[FanIn80]

Was that Yandle on the panel?

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Welp, I asked for a better shooting and save percentage for this one.

I'm not greedy. I'll take the bloated shooting percentage tonight. Marky can get a shutout next game to make up for the save percentage.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

not worried about markstrom when we can put 6 on the board

I think what Lindy's game was missing was the Tkachuk element of toughness along the boards and corners and crashing the net. Ružička looks like he is filling that role now.

I'm surprised Huberdeau wasn't able to replace Gaudreau's passing game but the main missing thing for Huberdeau is he didn't have the puck-carrier game.

Toffoli on the wing is basically a Cammelleri shooter so its a very different line.

Tanev has been excellent tonight. And Zadorov has avoided the giveaways.

This is exactly what I'm thinking as well. Also, isn't Marky's wife is pregnant as well? May be that's weighting on his mind and that's why his mind wanders sometimes?

[Flames_Gimp]

Lindy last season was no fluke, slow start but he is starting to look like last year

[Enoch Root]

All this talk about Ruzicka looking better because he is playing with better players... he is looking better because he is playing better!! He simply has never played like this with the Flames before the last few games.

Yup he's part of the Monday panel. Such a beauty.

Pretty sure it was Warner that said something about pouting, but yeah it was just weird, maybe I didn't get the joke or something. They were also comparing Huberdeau to Dustin Brown with the Kings, and how he became a 30 goal scorer again after Sutter left.

Anyways, I'm glad they're eating crow.
