Yawn.

Unless you’re his mom or dad, then all the best to him. It isn’t going to change the season.
I just hope the goal scoring somehow transfers. The flames could use it.

Dustin Wolf was unbelievable again.

I'm happy he's a Flame, but I can't help but feel like he is dragging a really bad team to a 9th place finish in the west lol.

The flames had a bad first period and the kings came out hard but I thought controlled a lot of the 2nd and third.

The flames spanked the kings last game.

I wouldn’t include the kings in your list.

Dustin Wolf is as much of a part of the team as anyone else. He’s one of the 6 Flames players that were on the ice to start the game and he can’t simply be excluded when evaluating the entire team’s talent.

Really great to see.
He’s also figured out how to give himself time and space to get his shot off. That has been huge.

Gotta give Wolf credit. His body is always square to the puck when he makes those great saves. That's one of the big strengths to his game.

I think Wolf has been working on improving his glove side, which was apparent on that one big save.

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.
No one asked if you were excited, nor did they comment on your lack of excitement. The weird take is dissing someone who is. Seems a little intentionally mean.

I hate it too. I’d rather they retire Harvey and get a new mascot than change him like this.

Really hoping someone has audio/video of the refs call for the second Lomberg fight. Said something like “5 minutes, chucking the knucks”. Never heard a call like that!

Yup. I always laugh when they do the mascot photo at the All-Star Game and Harvey's the only one who is tarps off.

The Flames just scored and they pan the crowd and stop on this girl, who not only is not celebrating the goal, but is eying pocket dawg like predator eyes it's prey. The pocket dawg is not 'The Most Dangerous Game.'

And, further questions must be asked...because I saw quite a few closeup of Huska on the bench and you know what I didn't see?

Bev.

Where is Bev Mr. Huska? What did you do with Bev? Is there an anti-Bev conspiracy? Are shenanigans afoot? Did you cryogenically freeze her to save her for the playoffs? She's always there! Right there!

Inquiring minds must know!! The Truth is Out There...
