Sutter tried it last year with Dube as the 3rd line center with Toffoli. That was after Monhan went down, and before we got Jarnkrok. I think that could work quite well actually.

Michael Stone: great 7th D, bad 6th D.

[GioforPM]

That’s another iffy penalty.

I can't imagine spending an evening as a user on hf oil in their game thread just to slurp up the despair of fans when they're down

it's very loserish behavior

you only show up when it's fair weather also

where were you guys 4 games ago?

yup, losers

it's OK, your team's time will come when you call for woodpeckers head and mchelmetrash pouts over another early exit, but at least we won't be prancing around in your forum like arsehats

[Paulie Walnuts]

Yeah any team with Stone and Lucic as regulars won't go far.

No one would ever last on hfoil with any kind of criticism.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Another Avs PP, that's not great.

What was the advice?

[ComixZone]

This is why my confidence is shot when it comes to this team making the playoffs.

As “good” as they’ve been playing, they’ve only won 9 of their last 22 or whatever - and they just don’t play a successful brand of hockey. When talented teams match our work ethic, we will lose most of the time. The team isn’t skilled enough, and the coaching approach in limiting the impact of that lack of skill isn’t working. We can’t hold Colorado back and they don’t even have a full roster.

My God, he has been terrible this season. Flames have been generally lucky with injuries so far this season, but they really miss Kylington.

Yuuuuuuuuge save Marky

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Great save Marky. Penalty over.

Can someone please score a goal?

They were talking about the almost flub behind the net. Just likely getting their communication on behind the net plays straight.

[Aarongavey]

That was a nice save by Markstrom.

[bdubbs]

I know these are professional hockey players but even in beer league, if your goalie is looking shaky, you're playing a lot more 'safe' and uneasy. Often overcompensating and second-guessing for how little you trust your goalie to make the save. The flames are playing like that with Markstrom in net in my opinion.

[DoubleK]

Stone looks terrible in person

[GioforPM]

This game is being played at Avs tempo. The Flames needed to slow it down form the get go. Now they are behind though and that won’t work.

Yep, he's a massive hole in our lineup right now.
He seems like a great teammate, and a good guy to plug in short term, but he's playing way too many minutes.

[GioforPM]

Stone has always been this bad. It’s just that usually he can come in and perform well as a spare part.
