[GT] Avs @ Flames

[OldSam]

Ha. Ha. A powerplay. Must have really hurt to call that, ref.

[Manhattanboy]

Only shot, a low percentage muffin to the chest by Coronato. Not smart.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Move around. The stationary polygon won't do it.

Thats the whole point, you can make comparisons to drive home a point without stating that they're the exact same thing.

Sure but it’s still not a useful comparison

Wolf is incredible.

Sure, that is the risk but you can't win if you don't score.

We can disagree. It’s ok.

Yeah, thats fair. Coaches and players aren't perfect, it's Huska's 2nd year as an NHL HC. It's not going to work every night.

Either way, Huska has employed a system that has what was considered a bottom 5 roster in a playoff spot, and that's good coaching in a vacuum.

If the majority of fans hadn't mentally settled for a top 5 pick, this accomplishment should be looked at in a pretty impressive light

At the midway mark with 4 shots I wouldn’t have thought we would still have some small chance with 5 min left.

[Manhattanboy]

Playoff chances decreasing by the minute.

Unless we get on a streak on the road it’s not looking good.

This team works hard. Gotta admire the work ethic.

Yep. Had we beat Vancouver in regulation this loss would have been easier to swallow.

[Mathgod]

Probably go 6 on 4 here.

I guess that is your perogative.

However if someone was making a point out of the Flames by stating "no team has ever squeaked into a playoff spot on the back of low scoring and good goaltending" it would bea pretty useful comparison in that discussion

[DropIt]

Goalie pull?

[Mathgod]

Andersson!!!!!!!!! Huby!!!!!

Fair. I don’t give a lot of grace to the poster who hates the coach that has a bottom five team in the playoff hunt. Switched from trump tariffs to that

[Icon]

That's using your noggin' Hubey

[expatflame]

Ha ha!

[JurassicTunga12]

Huberdeau!

[DropIt]

Just how they drew it up
