[GT] Flames @ Canucks 04-08-23

[JohnnyB]

The Flames are throwing a lot at the Canucks. They're not sitting back .

[jayswin]

Flames starting to look really good the last couple of shifts. Just need something to sneak by.

[dieHARDflameZ]

Sorry folks. Season is over. No doubt in my mind, Demko is getting a shutout tonight.

It is amazing that we have a head coach stupid enough to keep playing the the 4th line in a game this important. They have been awful every single shift tonight.

[Rejean31]

I don’t think we are even getting 1 past Demko tonight. Shutout guaranteed.

They have looked good for 3 out of every 4 shifts this period.

Probably for the same reason you torture yourself watching Canucks and Oilers games.

Yeah Lewis with the giveaway in the O zones. Dogs it on the back check, stays out for another 30 seconds accomplishing nothing then goes for a bad change giving up the 3 on 2.

Love the 4th line.

Sutter just want to be BFF with Lucic and Lewis

Hockey is secondary

He's probably just fatigued from cup run last year. And now frustrated he's not playing to his ability

Hanafin hasn’t been stellar this season, but he’s been a pretty damn good d-man for us for years now I think. And he’s not even at prime age yet.

Yes they do, they likely wouldn't be in this spot had they gave Markstrom a mental break and called up Wolf

Hanifin is capable of all kinds of magic, and that's why he's so frustrating. He occasionally gets totally lost in his own zone, and more than occasionally tosses up total muffins when he's under any kind of pressure. If he was just a little bigger and a little ... meaner or something, in the defensive zone, he'd be amazing.

the 4th line has Duehr. He makes #### happen on every shift. Your bias is showing.

Nah, that’s baloney. It’s easy to tell if people are trying or not.

[Goriders]

Someone is going to have to finish one soon. Not liking having to come back from 0-2 in the third.

[81MC]

F me

[jayswin]

That was just a hit?

[dieHARDflameZ]

Uhhh that is a bull $&@% call. Two minutes for a clean hit on a guy staring at his skate laces. $&@% this stupid $&@*ing league.

He only had 16 games in the playoffs last year though. That's only 4 games more than any of the Flames. Not much to be tired from.
