Imagine if it was Mackey, Gilbert or Valimaki who made a boneheaded pinch when there is no support and backcheck like that.

Heck, Hockey 101, you let the incoming back check take the third man coming in. As a dman, you take the pass option to the F2.

Sure, maybe they had a decent couple games some month and a half ago or whatever.

That justifies them being complete trash for 6 straight weeks? They’ve been given so much rope that Brooks Hatlen himself is envious.

Looch hasn’t scored in how long? Even the worst players put themselves in spots where the puck accidentally banks off of them - but Looch can’t get there.

Well actually he should be promoted to PP1 and start unloading bombs out there....

I mean, I like that he shoots, but Sutter could also insteuct Anderson to shoot more. Having Hanifin and Stone on the PP together looked beyond terrible.

[Flames_Gimp]

when stone was shooting alot on the pp we were doing awesome, get him on pp1 taking one-timers he's deadly when they do it right

[WhiteTiger]

Go Flames go!

ive seen raz in perfect position and receive a perfect one-timer pass and instead he fakes and passes it off, could make a drinking game out of it

[MrMike]

There we go

[Jacks]

1 down, 2 to go.

I agree with you completely about Lucic, and I would throw in Rooney into that coversation as well. The 4th line needs to be better, but it's more of a matter of finding the right mix. Ritchie and Mangiapane lead this team in scoring 5 on 5 I believe. Meanwhile, Lewis was an analytics darling for most of the season, and played a steady game.

Scores! there it is!

[Infinit47]

Woohoo!

Now don't put the 4the line out

[JurassicTunga12]

Kadri!

[Kidder]

Isn’t it the coaches job to get the players up and ready to start a game?

Sutter is not impressing this season.

That start was predictable. The Wild are playing well lately. The Flames are playing effort by numbers. Told my friend was expecting the L today, and so far things are going as expected.

Edit: lol, see whiny Pessimism works!

[Toonage]

2-0

Worst lead in hockey! LFG!

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Weird. I was just typing that I wouldn’t mind seeing a stat that shows the percentage of goals scored when a pp starts the period. I’ll take it

[Johnny Makarov]

LOL hey look Lindholm shot from the point!!!!!!!
