Minnesota

Vegas could hold two potential spots the Flames could end up in Wild Card or Divisional.

Minnesota could only beat out Flames for a Wild Card spot.

5 THINGS - FLAMES @ RED WINGS



Lesson … learned?
As much as the Flames came away from Monday's tilt feeling good about themselves and the way they played, professional athletes are the ultimate taskmasters.
'Satisfaction' is sparse in this racket - and when you boil it all down, grabbing only one of the two points available is far from perfection.
Fact is, the Flames had the hometown Rangers on the ropes with two goals, 2:03 apart to take a 4-3 lead in the third.
That's the type of game they need to close out in the future.
"It was a good game," said Andrew Mangiapane, who tallied the tying goal with his right boot early in the third period. "I think we should have had the two points, but it was a close game throughout. I liked the way we competed and battled. But we need to take a lesson here that when we're up 4-3, we've got to manage the game and got to and play to win there."

I actually wanted to see a Hanifin - Tanev pairing all season. Weegar on the PP also seems like a good fit, so maybe it's a blessing in disguise. That said hopefully Andersson is fully recovered and back in the lineup sooner rather than later.

Let the winning streak begin.

That's working oh so well...real 4d chess.

I guess we'll see from now until April.

Couple weeks ago Friedman noted that the players are sick of hearing this in Sutter's pressers.

I am not sure how good of a motivating tactic it is when you keep going to the same thing.

He kept saying we don't have that 1 guy to takeover a game late last season when we had two players already over 100 points.

I think its why he doesn't last long or his effectiveness wears thin.

[saillias]

Agreed, and seeing him do the same thing over and over. The first time you hear him compliment the other team and talk down his own roster's capabilities its interesting. When it's on year 3 it gets old

Switch the top two centres. They've each gotten stale and Lindholm is a better fit with Huberdeau, despite the lack of early seasons success. I think he's a better fit with Pelletier too.

This bs about Sutter and not complimenting the players is just that, bs. These guys get paid big bucks to play, not to get compliments. If you were doing as poorly in your job and being paid handsomely would you expect compliments. Get serious! What he needs to do sit some of these hot shots in the press box. These are not kids.
