Penalty-plagued Flames meet up-and-down Canadiens


The Flames have been whistled 14 penalties and 30 total penalty minutes in their last two games – a 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday and a 5-4 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Preview
Calgary at Montreal


With losses in the first two stops on their three-game road trip, the Flames will try to salvage a victory in Montreal, where the Canadiens have lost their last three games on home ice.

The Canadiens' latest setback was a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. The Kings scored two goals within a 19-second span in the first period, and then held their lead despite a pair of goals from Montreal's Mike Hoffman and Cole Caufield late in the third frame.

I am a fan of the Flames through thick and thin… But, if they acquire Anderson, I’ve got a hard time keeping myself invested for every game this season. Such a bad contract to acquire, especially when we’re almost done with Lucic’s.

[Erick Estrada]

Is there a rumour where the Flames are highly interested? I'm sure rumour mongers would throw the Flames hat in the ring just because Treliving is one of the more active GM's.

[sonq]

I hope Sutter gives the lineup from last game another chance

[Funkhouser]

I’ll be attending in the lower bowl tonight wearing the flaming C.
I hope to be on your screens regularly celebrating a Phillips hat trick!

I’m sure Huberdeau will have a sizeable contingent tonight. Hope he can step up his game

[1qqaaz]

The Habs have won 4 in a row against Calgary.
The Flames seem to have troubles with teams that have completely nonexistent D-cores.

It had legs before the Flames signed Markstrom. NHL Network Radio (I believe Pagnotta) discussed the Flames talking with Columbus for Anderson and one of the Jacket goalies for Monahan and, I can't recall, probably picks. Anderson was traded to Montreal right around that time instead.

Hasn't really died down since then.

As for tonight, hoping Phillips stays in as I didn't get to see the game Saturday. Also wonder if Markstrom plays. Wasn't awful against the Habs last time out aside from that dive at the start of the game.

I think he is responding to the article I linked above in the tweets

That's the benchmark you want for your 6M starting tendy!

[Bingo]

Man those old covid bubble pictures give me the willies.

So glad we've gotten back to some atmosphere in a hockey game.

@EricFrancis

Markstrom in the starter’s net here in Montreal this morning.

[Toonage]

Apparently Weegar isn't skating this morning (non covid illness) so we might see Mackey in tonight

Lucic out tonight too

[Erick Estrada]

For whatever reason the worse the Habs are, the more difficult of an opponent they are for the Flames as they have lost 4 straight against them.

[Royle9]

Perhaps an up close viewing of Caulfield dominating the offensive zone will allow Daryl to take off the horse blinders and see its okay to have undersized players in your top 6.

He's such an odd player. He'll come out with a game that reminds you why they traded for him, then disappear for 20 games.

Flames have been playing down to their opponents for years.

[TheIronMaiden]

Go Flames, Go Good guy Sean Monahan.

That would make sense. I was sick last week and my brain was definitely feeling scrambled before and during the illness. His decision making on the weekend was interesting...
