Moore checks Danault

Moore looking right at him...
Quote:
Why da fuq he was moved on to that line was straight moronic.
Quote:
Moore having a rough night, lagging from time away.
Quote:
Yep, that line had something going on. I kinda worried that once you put both Moore and Lewis back in, you mess with the vibe and chemistry that was working so well.
Dumb Penalty Magnet

If Fiala had half a brain he would be amazing.

2 minutes for being named Kevin

2 minutes for that mustache
Quote:
Fiala and ####ting on momentum. Name a more iconic duo.
Quote:
Fiala should have stayed home and read books Jfc
Quote:
This would be a good time for Fiala to remember he plays in the NHL.
Quote:
The Kings team, as a whole, has outgrown Fiala
Quote:
Fiala only has 4 more minors than Kempe and QB...Plus Kempe has more turnovers...
Quote:
Good job, Kev.
Quote:
Everything fiala touches turns turns to ####.
The Wolf is In
Quote:
Dustin Wolf looks like the greatest goaltender the Kings have played against.
Quote:
Would have liked Fiala to tee it up and slapped through that fkcing WOlf
Quote:
Couldn’t score on a ####ing traffic cone
Quote:
Sup. Flames having the wolf howl for their goalie is cool.
Quote:
Gotta admit... The howling after Wolf makes a good save is pretty cool lol
Quote:
This Wolf kid is smooth
Quote:
I wonder if Wolf's #32 is in honor of Ol' Quickie?
Quote:
Yup, Carlyn just confirmed it on the broadcast
Quote:
Tired team due to no fresh bodies from the coaching staff stubbornly sticking with the same 11/7, an impotent PP and here we are. Add to that, young Dustin Wolf really seems to have both the ONT and now LA's number. Kid is really good.
Quote:
Wolf has been really good, that is part of the problem
Scoronato Snipes!

Ugly.

No Save Dave.

I’ve had more exciting bouts on the toilet than this boring ass game. Kings mailed it in after the Moverare goal. They will get their backs blown out by the oilers if they think this low scoring #### is gonna work in the playoffs
Quote:
We’re winning games, but this PP is just beyond pitiful at this point. I don’t even wanna crack jokes about it anymore it’s more like a tragedy now.
Aaaan now it’s tied. What the ####, Kings!? Not elite play, Lord Nikon would not approve.
Quote:
Moverare with the bad play
Quote:
Awful turnover
Quote:
One brainfart and it's in the net
Quote:
Oooof...pass to the middle.
Quote:
Bad decision by Mo. Gotta know that you're tired.
Quote:
well…mo didn’t connect with clarke there…and put him out of position…a bit of an unforced error by a player whom usually doesn’t make them…
Quote:
Lots of lazy plays. This game is missing a guy like Doughty who can completely change the tempo.
Quote:
Sorry folks, but when you outplay a team that badly in the first period and only come away with a one goal lead….only bad things can come from that.
If we come away with 1 point I’ll be extremely happy.
Quote:
We've been way too causal with the puck, all night,

The trajectory of this game has regulation L all over it
Power Kill
Quote:
the worst pk in the league. flames have given up 7 straight pp goals . Kings have 9 shots on pp 1, zero on pp 2, even worse on pp 3...four sh chances by the flames, ZERO F-ING SHOTS!
Quote:
Folks, Calgary have the no. 30 PK in the league; we just made them look like Larry Robinson and the ‘77 Canadians.
Quote:
was that a power play or a penalty kill
Quote:
Kings power play is comically bad
Quote:
Imagine if LA could actually do something on the PP other than play hot potato.
Quote:
Can we decline penalties?
Quote:
Sheesh...cannot enter the zone at all.
Quote:
Powder puff play
Quote:
flames doing a much better job slowing the kings through the neutral zone this period…passes not connecting like they were in the first…
Quote:
Great. Now we can’t even get possession in their zone. We’re regressing.
Quote:
If we could get a consistent hard-passing PP we could win the cup.
Quote:
A PP goal or two would’ve changed the complexion of the game.
Quote:
The Kings defunct PP is equivalent to PLD last season. (Was okay when we were winning, but oh so in your face when we weren't).
Quote:
Kings can’t enter the zone with possession.
Quote:
How can we be so good 5v5 but when we have an extra player we’re soooo bad???
Quote:
god damn this PP looks so ####ing bad. 3 on 1 in your own zone on a PP? like wtf is going on
Quote:
The Kings lose so many games that they fumble away via powerless play. Why isn't that addressed?
Quote:
Not going to make it past the first round until they fix the power play…. Make a trade and get someone that is willing to park themselves in front of the net!!! This is just not acceptable for Christ sake Park KOP in front of the net try something… Opposition swarms Fiala he is the playmaker, frustrating!!!
Quote:
You have to have a good power play in the playoffs. Unfortunately it will be another first round exit if they can’t get it to a reasonable percentage. Newell Brown has been a failure hire.
Quote:
Take a few seconds to regroup and breakout together, it’s like they’re never on the same page. I know some PPs are going to be #### but it’s like they’re all waiting for someone to do something instead of working together.
Quote:
Need Drew back badly. 5v5 it’s fine, but both special teams without him have hit their wall
Quote:
Power play is holding this team back from being actual competitors. They need to start from scratch and fire the coach of it. It’s embarrassing.
Quote:
Must be nice to be a pp coach making a salary and failing at your job.
Quote:
Better off with no PP coach
Quote:
Absolutely putrid power play, jfc. No urgency, terrible zone entries. Gotta fix that or this team is out in round 1 again.
Quote:
Given how bad we are with a man advantage we probably shouldn’t pull the goalie today
Huberdeau with the GWG!
Quote:
I come in from my walk with my dog and bang Huberdeau scores...it seems like the Kings are tired from this back to back garbage...in Alberta... but Winnipeg then Calgary who was the idiot who scheduled these games fkcing moron
Quote:
Weegar with the small dick energy
Quote:
Calgary Flames have failed the dickhead test
Quote:
Of course. PP goal.
Quote:
I know a lot of people #### on Huberdeau because of his contract but he's looked really impressive for the Flames
Quote:
Use the slowest player on the Kings on the PK. Brilliant.
Quote:
Dammit!
Quote:
2nd night of a back to back, losing some steam.. gotta figure out how to finish strong boys
Quote:
Back to back or not, 1 goal isn’t enough
Quote:
Too much youth for us. I could feel Huberdeau was going to score. Kempe time!
Quote:
Boys are gassed and frustrated.
Seems like it always happens in Calgary going back years and years.
Feel like this is a missed chance at 2 points tonight
Quote:
And that’s the game.
Also the fact that the Kings have no power play at all is the real reason we lost this game.
Quote:
oh well…
Get some rest and get after the oil.
Quote:
Awful night. Felt like a classic McLellan “throw every ####ing shot on net but have no set offense or any semblance of how to play hockey and lose despite outshooting the opponent 2:1” type of game
Quote:
all my homies hate fire and fire related accessories
double the shots, 2-1 loss. Kongs hockey

I guess. I’m “interested to see” Honzek do anything to prove he’s any better than Kerins too.
Dude, your take is so weird.
You have an issue with someone being interested to watch one of their team’s prospects at the NHL level?
Personally, I’m interested to see if you are actually as dumb as your post implies or if you can outline some sort of logic behind your statements (I’m betting on the former).

So it was the third period of the Flames loss against the Penguins that Huska put Huberdeau-Kadri-Pospisil and Coleman-Backlund-Coronato lines together.
In the 16 games since then:
8-5-3; .594 (T-9th in the NHL)
5v5 xGF%: 53.95% (8th)
Huberdeau-Kadri-Pospisil: 61.0% xGF - 10 GF - 6 GA
Coleman-Backlund-Coronato: 53.2% xGF - 9 GF - 3 GA
So they found a couple of lines that had some offensive chemistry and it's worked so far for those two lines.
The third line (especially with Zary hurt) and the 4th line need a lot of help but the Kadri and Backlund lines are going.
The other thing is that it's been about 10 games now that they put Hanley on the left side with Weegar, and Weegar just looks way better and way more comfortable playing his natural RH side IMO.
Over that same 16 game stretch:
Bahl - Andersson: 50.3% xGF
Hanley - Weegar: 66.4% xGF (And on for 10 GF and 3 GA)
Bean - Pachal: 54.0% xGF
So some consistency with the d-pairs has helped too. The only real negative has been the abysmal PK with 12 PK goals against in those 16 games.
Edit: Kevin Rooney needs his own callout actually because he deserves a run in the press box.
5v5: 34.5% xGF; 3 GF - 9 GA
PK: 7 Goals Against
He's not helping the PK and he's a liability right now at 5v5.

What a great after hours. Of course I love Iggy and Kipper but Reggie is one of my fave Flames of all time. Chucky with some love for his inclusion too. Great segment.

Girl please.
What’s my take? I’m not excited to watch a late round pick who worked their way up? They’re going to play 8-14 minutes and get used to the pace of the game? That’s exciting?
Seriously, good for Kerins. I’m all about young players if you’ve seen my posts. I don’t know how that could be possibly more exciting than watching Zary, except that we haven’t seen it before.
Great. Congrats. Hooray. Now suppress goals like the team did in this game to impress.

Seeing young players who may eventually play for the Flames fulltime make their debut is something to look forward to. Especially with the direction the team is currently taking.
It doesn't matter if he plays 8 minutes or 25 minutes.

Well, have at it. Especially if it takes Andrei Floatmenko out of the lineup.
The team has nothing that can compare to Los Angeles or any other big team in terms of talent. They won because of Wolf making saves in the first part of the game and getting defensive structure together in the latter part of the game.

I don't know what comparing the Flames to the Kings has to do with Rory Kerins making his NHL debut but ok.
