Nice save but thankfully Stetcher shot it right in the crest, could have been tied there. Flames not playing great. Need to ramp it up here for the last couple minutes and carry it over to the 3rd.
I have never and will never like the Retro reds. I moved to Calgary in 2007. It's always been a black C at home for me. (Well home for me used to be white, so there's that).
I wasn't a Flames fan in 86. The retros mean nothing to me, and I think the team could do better.
Ok, it appears you’re beyond help. (Just kidding. You’re certainly entitled to your own opinion).
This game is playing out exactly as I expected so far. Good jump from Keller and Schmaltz, Vejmelka has been an absolute wall.
Can't believe the Coyotes found Vejmelka — he's genuinely one of the best young goalies in the league (and signed to a sweetheart deal).
Fun game. Rooting for overtime!

I may be proved wrong, but to me Huberdeau is one of the top 20 players in the entire league. At any position.
He'll be fine, give him a bit more time.
Tkachuk had similar issues his first 30 games with Sutter.
22 points in 30 games. People (and he himself) complained about his ice time, rumors of a rift between the two of them.
Especially at 5v5 all of Gaudreau, Lindholm and Tkachuk didn’t produce a ton those first 30 games under Sutter as they learned to play a more responsible 200ft game.
Gaudreau: 15 in 30
Tkachuk: 14 in 30
Lindholm: 13 in 30
Huberdeau: 7 in 21 (10 in 30 pace)
So off the pace of those guys still too but I’d argue since his was a trade he probably had an even bigger overall adjustment to make.
