17-11-4 now in the 32 games since the 6 game losing streak and the 2-7-1 start.
A really tough schedule over those 32 games as well.
They really need to move Lindholm and Tanev since they can't walk for nothing but really the team is fun to watch and starting to become likeable again.
Any animosity towards these guys, like we have towards the Kings, or is this like playing Minnesota with meh for rivalry?
Quote:
Any leftover feelings from when we were in Winnipeg are gone at this point.
Both teams have several other teams they'd consider "rivals" before they got to this matchup.
Quote:
So will Calgary finally trade us Hanifin after the game? Heard they've been working on an extension, maybe because the Coyotes require it in a trade?
Quote:
We can't afford to pay Hanifin UFA prices and term, he won't be a Coyote any time soon.
Quote:
Chych wouldn't want to come back, he wanted out, and BA isn't going to bring him back after shopping him for 2 years, iy makes no sense for either party. Besides that, I agree, Ott has way more talent then their record shows, they will make some changes this off season and keep Chych.

I thought we banned chychrun from being mentioned in these parts

Tough game for milk man. But at least he got one save so far.

Veggie needs to get pulled. 3 goals on 4 shots

Not Vej’s fault but you gotta pull him, do anything to wake this team up
Quote:
He should be pulled they got in his head now

Don't worry. I'm turning it off. They always come back when I leave in disgust.
Quote:
Offf, rough start. Someone go to the abandoned #### hole baseball stadium and unplug the tv truck.
Quote:
Well they were playing “Ole’” in the arena….
Our D just played along.
Quote:
Worst lead in hockey. Que the comeback.
Quote:
You know what’s really wierd. Is unlike the other games I feel we can still make a game out of this But man Veggie needs to make them pick their shots
Part of me wants a blow out so we can get rid of these bad habits
When you play bad and win you don’t change anything as evidence of the last game we won and tonight

I've just never been all that high on either of these guys. They both have their streaks and are serviceable for now but overall I'm not a fan.

No one has #### on Dumba yet and he was there so.......Dumba sucks!
Quote:
Jesus christ. How many times are we just going to give them the puck
Quote:
What kind of stupidness am I watching?
Quote:
Almost all my hope is lost after that one
Quote:
The turnover at the blue line for no reason again. It’s like they forgot about the other 2 or 3 goals they gave up because of it.
Quote:
This team is so bipolar. Play great one night, #### the bed the next night. Figure out who we wanna be ffs

surprise surprise guess who gets caught up ice once again

Dumba doing dumba things
Quote:
AT needs to get this team back under control. Did they get lobotomized during the breaks we had?
I’m being overly dramatic but they’ve played too many poor games recently. No excuse to be down 6-2 right now.
Quote:
how much longer are we gonna have to watch dumba keep giving the other team grade A chances??? And they know it coming in.
Quote:
Agreed. Only thing Dumba is good for is taking penalties.
Quote:
1000% that this team has to get the 1st period garbage turned around. Just not viable whatsoever to be down over and over again.
Whole team was dog doo doo (sorry to dogs for the comparison)… but also agree the goalies in this game weren’t great either. Any decent chance was in the net…not NHL lvl tending.
Just nothing good.
Ps Zucker was invisible at best…I won’t say what at worst. (Had to comment that cause he’s about to interview)
Quote:
Do these guys practice at all? Are they still hungover from the Boston game? Or did the bookies pay them off?
Quote:
Whenever this team loses they sure do lose hard
Quote:
Save for Tuesday night, since the calendar turned over to 2024 this team has been almost embarrassing to watch.

Lemieux was a monster but man alive did those old goalies suck.
Goalie equipment wasn't nearly as huge as it is today either. Look how small the old goalies were in net (granted some were actually small goalies too)

I'm not an expert, but modern goalie equipment is light so you can move quickly.
That stuff was leather. It weighed a ton.

Leather got heavier as the game went on as it absorbed all the moisture on the ice. IIRC In 1985, Flames goalie Reggie Lemelin was the first to wear leg pads made of high-density foam, which were twice as light as the standard pads that were made of leather and horsehair at the time. Lemelin paved the way for virtually all modern leg pads worn today.
