[GT] Calgary v. Colorado. Dude, where’s Makar

[memphusk]

He Should of had the first one. He's 6' 6" tall. That corner shouldn't of been an option.

That, and if Vladar was starting more of the games I think the whole teams confidence would be higher and maybe make more of those ‘élite’ individual plays.

Lucic with Huberdeau and Kadri is just awful. Sutter needs to stop playing favourites and just try to win the damn game.

I dont think its his fault tonight, but i do think there are valid concerns right now.

Even in his better games he doesnt inspire any confidence right now. Poor positionally, over commits on anything cross ice, and small in his net.

I have pretty good seats in 121 tonight and even on the routine saves he often looks unsure and not confident.

Its a real issue.

Yeah how good of him yelling at Zadarov and Tanev after he made that stupid idiotic play behind the net that should have been a goal.

That'll inspire your teammates. lol

Markstrom almost made this a 0-4 game with his adventure behind the net. He is shaky as hell

It’s just fact. Every season every team. Coming back from the road, that first game back is always a rough effort.

2-0 I could live with but the refs are just so peevish and feckless. I see that play happen so often but never a call. This ref though.

Maybe try Lewis with Kadri and Huberdeau.

Down 3-0 . Stack the first line. Put lindholm on Rw with hubby and kadri. If Sutter thinks he is coming back from 3-0 to Avs rolling all 4 lines , he is nuts.

So we blaming first home game back or the refs? The Oilers just came back from a road trip and put up a W. Flames just don’t have any speed they play slow.

Nope, can’t cut down on Lucic’ ice time.

I wouldn't be against it at all, or at least try Ruzicka in the top 6 again. The Lindholm line has been quiet for a while now, the Kadri line could also use a new look.

[Strange Brew]

Flames getting embarrassed so far and we’re arguing about who is more to blame. Lots of blame to go around, no sense fighting over it.

[Rejean31]

This team is not going to make the playoffs. They aren't even going to get a sniff of the playoffs. Ask yourselves this. Who on this team has had a good season? I'd say Vladar and Lewis. Who on this team has had bad seasons? Pretty much everyone else and I'll include the coaching staff. Not a chance this team makes the playoffs and I hope and pray that the Flames prove me wrong, but I just don't see it.

What do you do then though, play a guy like Ruczika as the center on the Dube and Toffoli line and then stick Lucic down on the 4th line? This does not seem like something we would try.

[NewFan]

I think Flames have 14 one and done shots. Nobody is going to the net, nobody open, no body can make play.

Lucic will get his usual 11-13 minutes, but we'll also only play Kadri and Huberdeau for the same 11-13 minutes.

[DomeFoam]

Not all Marky’s fault but I’m tired, Darryl. Just start the goalie who is 7-0-3 man. The fans have a three year window to win.

Here we go

Avs making us look very slow
