Huberdeau is definitely playing his best hockey as a Flame. Could have had 4-5 points tonight. Unfortunate that he couldn’t finish on the penalty shot.
Coronato and Zary are having their coming out parties and it is fun to watch. Pelletier is close behind sneaking in points.
Haven’t been the biggest fan of the Anderson/Bahl pairing last few weeks but I think a break will help them recover. I don’t think either is used to playing 24+ minutes a game on a regular.

I generally don’t feel like the refs pick on certain teams, they’re equally incompetent for all the teams but man, really seems like a rebirth of The Wideman Effect lately.

Only was sorta watching wjile playing golf at a sim today, and we left at 5-1, so I was surprised when I turned on the radio and Bean was being interviewed about being in on the winning goal.
If I was in charge of the league I would have a 1 minute powerplay if a penalty shot misses.
Bean has really impressed me the last couple games. Hes playing with confidence and is generating quite a lot of good chances on that third pair. Some chemistry with Pachal, who is quickly becoming one of my favorites
I'd love to see Brodie on the bench today, Jones back is a huge boost, but the young guys have been playing well recently too
Quote:
I’m hoping with Jones coming back that one of Allen, Korch, or Crevier don’t get put in the press box.
Quote:
Me too. I’d keep these projections by name but Jones up and bye-bye Brodie with an appropriate D shuffle seems like a no brainer. Tells me SJ probably needs a bit more rest
Quote:
Brodie looking good and helping the youngin …love it
Quote:
The Ol' Gray Mare, he ain't what he used to be...
Quote:
Good to see a #4 on the ice
Quote:
Do we still not know if Jones is playing or who’s sitting out?
Quote:
He’s playing from what I’ve seen. We don’t know who the scratch on the back end is yet, but everyone is hoping it’s Brodie.
Quote:
Did my ears deceive me? Is Crevier sitting and Brodie is playing….
Quote:
The rookie coach doesn’t want to scratch a vet in a game against his former team. He totally should have done it but, that’s why he didn’t.
Quote:
Jones and Brodie both need to go so Kaiser and Crevier get consistent roster spots.
Hubey Dooby Doo
Quote:
Seth on the PK....nooo!
Quote:
I like how we put Seth right back on the PP and immediately he does dumb ####
Quote:
Lazy ass effort by Jones to get back into the play. f*** you man.
Quote:
That was pathetic
Quote:
Jones is so f***ing soft, just let a guy cut straight to the net
Quote:
Seth's Back!

That’s just wild his first shift back on PP1 they get scored on
Quote:
Ugh. Get Seth Jones off this PP. please.
Quote:
Go away Seth
Quote:
The guy had a clear step and a half on him.
Quote:
Jones is back everyone
Quote:
I’m so ####ing done with Seth jones
Quote:
The 8mil dollar liability
Quote:
Where’s vlasic
Quote:
Not on the power play apparently.
Quote:
Thanks for all the great work on the pp vlasic but #### you I guess
Quote:
Put Vlasic back on power play
Quote:
Seth looks a little rusty
Quote:
Jones could've stayed gone
Quote:
I’m behind but watched the first power play. So Jones comes back and his first power play he is part of the cause for a short handed goal. Is that not enough to take him off the top line????
Quote:
Still pissed as Jones lack of effort. You fall and are the reason it’s an odd man rush the other way. You need to be busting your ass harder than anyone else on the ice to get back in the play.
Infuriating.
Kadri Snipes!
Quote:
That wrist shot he let in was pathetic.
Quote:
Petr you gotta have that
Quote:
Well ####
Quote:
And then tough giveaway by Korchinski.
Quote:
Mrazek absolutely horrible
Quote:
Terrible PP and now we're down 2. Ugh!!!
Quote:
So soft, and he had a good look at it.
Quote:
Horrible pass by Korchinski
Quote:
Wake up Hawks.
Get the next goal.
Quote:
I'm blaming this period on another stupid 3pm start
Quote:
Meltdown in Calgary.
Quote:
Welp game over mrazek should be goalie 2 soderblom is better
Quote:
First goal was a Jones #### up, second is on Petr.
Wtf boys
Quote:
Tbf jones was doubled up on that puck into no man’s land on the boards.
Quote:
Horrible giveaway from KK lead to the second, and Murphy screened Petr
Quote:
Hmph. Team on a 3 game win streak, D pairings are gelling, you have a hot goalie and what happens when you shake it up…..
Quote:
I've never been a fan of bringing back players when the team is winning. Bears were winning under Orton, but hey - "Rex is our quarterback". Hawks are rolling - don't change things until they aren't winning. Ain't broke, don't fix it!
Quote:
wtf man. how are we already falling apart
Quote:
Well started and when Bedard had Generational Fail on clear slot shotvall alone 6 feet in front of CGY net..Followed by 3vorc4 more Grade A chance fails by other Hawks offCGY gifts of turnovers or no coverage...Wolf denied all of these great chances..Then game turned on Jones pinch and getting caught deep trying to make a hit and failing ...so shorty for Flames...
THEN THE kK turnover and Kadri Generational shot goal or Generational fail bt Mrazek to stop the shot ...Anyway period swing over to Flames and Hawks sagged back to bottom feeder mode.
Yikes!
Quote:
Well well..$9.5 a goof and aGA resukt...then Mrazek let's in one he should have stopped..
2 Tank Commanders..
And now lucky Huberdeau fails on a penalty shot .
The bad Jarmafrom $9.5 te-joining the team manifests.
The Many Spellings of Posposil
Quote:
oh #### off posposil
Quote:
This Pospipl guy is a dirty player.
Quote:
Poposphil ... what a nozzle.
Direct heD shot ... again.
The Calgary guy that jumped in after Donato destroyed him better get a penatly
Quote:
Ok, now it just time to go after Posphishil
Quote:
BTW ... Pospiss took another run late in the period ... at KK this time. Back in the day he would never get away with it. The league had better review.
Quote:
Popsicle must train with Rempe in the off season. Amazing they get the power play.
Quote:
We have the worst refs I've seen this year... Every call has been trash
Quote:
Softest call i've seen in a while
Quote:
Pospisil is a known bitch, elbow Bedard earlier and ran away from Foligno
Quote:
Man f*** this guy.
Elbow to the face. Hope someone elbows his head. He deserves it.
Quote:
Someone Luigi Pospisil
Quote:
The ref was literally standing right there. He was closer than anyone else
Quote:
I don't mean to overreact or sound dramatic, but Pospisil's bloodline should be cleansed from the earth and the land upon which they live should be salted so that nothing will ever grow.
Quote:
How in the #### does Calgary end up with a PP. absolute ####ing bs
Quote:
Whatever happened to "3rd man in"?
Quote:
Not gonna lie, that whack by Bertuzzi was cathartic. Dirty ####ers had it coming all game.
Quote:
FLAMES ON THE POWEPLAY? THE ACTUAL ####
Quote:
All i want is someone to break Pospisil's jaw at this point.
Quote:
Hard when he turtles like he did with Donato.
Quote:
Didn’t realize these ####s were such a dirty team
Quote:
I'm completely fine with Donato getting the penalty, at least he sticks up for Nazar and Bedard, but #### me running, we go on the PK after that? Pospisil should be out of this game after that ####.

Quote:
Yeah he’s a known #### head. At the world championships this summer he was actually really good scoring wise but he reverts to #### headery when he’s on the flames.
Quote:
Shove a stick up his ass and call him popsicle
Quote:
Why are the hawks not elbowing guys in the head? Are they stupid
Quote:
I put in "Pospisil" in the search bar in r/hockey. Plenty of "Pospisil suspended" "Pospisil elbow". "Pospisil incident with fan". No Pospisil goal hightlights though.
Quote:
I hope the Hawks send video of Pospisil's two hits to the league.
Quote:
I'm glad the Hawks haven't lost their heads but I would like to see as they said in the intermission to play "angry". Just letting Bedard take one in the back in the ice is not angry. No call? Give them something to call on the guy who cross checked.
Zary buries a nice feed from Pelts
Quote:
And right back in the dumpster...
Quote:
Team defense is ass today, zero effort.
Quote:
Took only 42 seconds.
Quote:
Jones can just never play again
Quote:
Mrazek comes so far out…
Quote:
Mrazek WAY out of position. Yeah he's back and had some good stops, but let's start a new goalie for the 3rd.
Quote:
We were so much better without Jones
Quote:
Yea thats 100% on Mrazek. What is he doing?
Quote:
Korchinski having a really bad game
Quote:
Kevin has looked like ####
Quote:
Hard to be mad at Vlasic, he got his stick on it, unfortunate bounce, and the puck movement had just drawn Mrazek off, overall that was just good hockey on the part of the Flames to get the 3rd goal, but man it sucks so soon after Bedsy broke the seal
Quote:
I become physically ill when I see Conor Murphy play the puck on his back hand
Quote:
They look confused on the ice today. Cannot give up a goal like that right after a beaut from Bedsy. There’s no momentum, no tape to tape passing.
Quote:
could be worse, we could easily be down 4 with an injured Bedard
Quote:
Jones is a toxic presence that needs to be sent away
Quote:
I don’t care what any of the stat nerds say, I don’t give a #### about the blue lines, his TOI, any of it. Just use the ####ing eyeball test. This team is not better with Jones on it. The fact that Vlasic got bumped from both PP units is absurd
Quote:
i honestly don’t get why the coaches think having jones over vlasic on the pp1 is a good idea. You tried jones got horrible results, nothing was happening and he’s ass. Whereas u tried Vlasic, got better results, understands that passing to bedsy will probably result in a goal and overall great hockey iq. Doesn’t make sense to me
Quote:
Zero fight it’s like watching a different team from the past 3 games.
Scoronato on the Powerplay
Quote:
I can't get up anymore. I go make a couple burritos, and miss two more goals.
Quote:
#### the Flames. This game is horse####
Quote:
So we sit Nazar and put Bedard with Hall and bertuzzi
Quote:
how the #### does CAL get a PP on that.
Quote:
The stray stick having a better game defensively than Jones today.
Quote:
I hope someone takes Zary’s head off, ref’s aren’t calling #### on any of the Hawks rookies getting headshotted
Quote:
I guess the hawks should elbow players in the face and then be the 3rd man to jump into a fight. maybe then they will get a PP
Quote:
If he doesn't get suspended I want Pospisil on a stretcher next game. Two blatant headshots, absolutely uncalled for. Very lucky Frank and Connor weren't hurt.
Quote:
#### that Popsicle guy
Goalman with a tip
Quote:
Great play around the boards in his own zone right to a Calgary player to set up the 5th by Jones
Quote:
Gross game. Mrazek is rusty
Quote:
Seth Jones out on the ice with no particular purpose.
Quote:
Seth Jones comes back and defense ####s the bed immediately.
Quote:
HAHAHAHAHHAH WHAT
Quote:
Seth Jones is cancer to this team
Quote:
Jones too lazy to box out. As talented as anyone in the league but low iq and effort are killers
Quote:
Jones is such ####ing trash
Quote:
Seth just watching the play.
No Goal!
Quote:
#### CALGARY
Quote:
No goal call is bizarre
Quote:
#### you ref, as if you didn’t already screw us enough
Quote:
That ref looks like this is his first job in high school.
Quote:
So the rough basically just said “Chicago scored a goal, so no goal.”
Quote:
Disallowed goal was good It was in the net under Calgarys goalie before it was shoved in.
Backlund with the insurance EN
Quote:
Was that professional hockey player Seth Jones literally watching an open net goal get scored? My 10U kids would try at least.
Quote:
We didn’t quit. And #### Calgary and #### this ref group.
Quote:
Well we fought back hard, but ####ty first game back for mraz, onto the holidays…
Quote:
Such a dog #### effort to win that last puck race before the empty net goal by jones
Quote:
Jones is so f***ing useless, I’m so tired of this guy
Quote:
jones took a terrible angle to the puck
Quote:
Is anybody on this coaching staff gonna actually look at Seth jones and realize he’s not playing like a top dmen cut his ice time down and take him off the power play
Quote:
Nice effort Seth
Quote:
No hustle from Jones
Quote:
Jones didn’t even make an effort on the empty net at the end man
Quote:
Bottom line...it was a 3pm atart and the Hawks did not wKe up until 5pm
Quote:
missed the game...saw the highlights....the ass from calgary took gave head shots with no interest in playing the puck. And the rebands say NO!. Good for donato. Mark 1/13 @ home maybe someone like foligno can do a little head hunting.
one of the downsides of the hawks new getty up and go system..if they get sloppy in the NZ look out for odd mans the other way

Chicago was really bad the first two periods. I laughed when Hrudey said it was tough to find words to describe the lack of effort on D on that one goal. Good that they took advantage of it and held off the Hawks
Laughed as well at Coleman afterwards saying it was a holiday special and they made it exciting for the fans
Hope they enjoy the break and come out strong next Saturday against the mighty Sharks
The good news is whatever money people were hoping Kuzmenko would eat up for a contract next year can easily go to Coronato. He's starting to look like a guy who's going to be the Flames top scorer as early as next season.

Coronato is by far the most improved player on the team. Looks nothing like the player from last year.

Well the trade sucked, and still sucks. And I do know what you mean.
But winning doesn’t help a draft pick anyway and the more they win, the less awful it would be to drop down to Florida’s pick.
I had to review the conditions again because of how convoluted they are. If I’m reading it correctly there are 2 likely outcomes right now:
1) Flames and Florida both finish above the bottom 10 teams, Montreal gets the better of the 2 picks which will end up being Calgarys (more than likely)
2) Flames finish in the bottom 10 and Florida finishes above the bottom 10, Montreal gets Floridas pick.
That is a very poor management decision. You’re betting on your team to be bad and if/when your team exceeds expectations you’re punished by having a worse draft pick. I don’t know how much NHL players look at GMs actions but if that was something my boss did I would be deflated and frustrated.
