[GT] Flames at Stars

[WhiteTiger]

Here's hoping the Flames can do something with this PP

Flames PP.

Might as well turn the game around now. At least get some momentum.

Just catching up on the game.
Two goals from Johnson beat Marky clean with no traffic in the same spot is a tough look.

Oh look Backlund has the puck is easily knocked off of it

I think I would have gone with Vladar tonight and Markstrom tomorrow. And of course Pavelski scores.

I would hav given Wolf more than a game.

Dallas was a great team before they could score. Now they can score.

The surprising thing for me so far is that Oettinger has looked human.

[Burning Beard]

This is where we have a killer pp lead by our highest paid player. Right?

[FanIn80]

Hanifin... There are low-danger shots, and then there are what should be a high-danger shot, but end up being stickhandled a couple times, giving the goalie time to setup, and then a muffin launched across the body at the lower opposite post, that would have just missed the net even if it beat the goalie.

Did he just invent the high-danger-lower-than-low-danger shot category?

It is when for the last 60 starts you’d be pleased with a league average save % (Markstrom). Its not when you have a better than average goalie having an off night. (Oettinger)

We are not strong enough to often produce wins on nights with below average goaltending.

Case in point. 4-2 Dallas.
Not blaming Markstrom, but we need at least league average save % to compete.

Also when you play in front of a goalie struggling with save % it is very frustrating as you never feel secure. It impacts a lot of the game and even the locker room.

Trade Markstrom before he devalues himself any further.

[Manhattanboy]

How ####ing hard is it to be a coach in this league?

We are playing Dallas tonight guys. Don’t turn over the puck and don’t take dumb penalties.

Jesus I could be a head coach.

Markstrom is bad last year this year ... Hope he is gone very soon.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Good PP so far. Actually taking shots? Finally.

I’m not sure you know what your argument is here.

[Burning Beard]

Huberdeau might get one tonight.

I’d prefer we keep Wolf far away from this daycare tire fire

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Lots of shots. I like this much better than just passing it around and wasting time.
