One of the things I am concerned about though is Brodie's gaffs in the defensive zone every game. Love TJ and his offensive game but man does he give me multiple heart attacks every game with the giveaways.

I'm surprised he wasn't given the nickname shades after the whole sunglasses twitter debacle.

Hamilton to me is the one to be concerned about IMO.

He has been average all year but we know he can be better and will be. He started off last year slow as well. If he wasn't with Gio a lot of his errors would end up in the back of the net.

Also nobody is happier than KidSport that Elliott is gone and Smith is in net.

Game threads have turned into a joke. You can’t get any handle on what is actually happening if you are trying to stay in the loop and can’t watch the game. I remember when that was actually the case.

I rarely go into game threads anymore. When I do I find I'm scrolling through rather quickly. If the game thread was a spaceport, it would be Mos Eisley.

Great game, loved what I saw from Chucky the guys a stud!, Bennett and Janko
Lazar looked great too. Smith is a beast in net!

I got home in time to watch part of the 3rd so most comments seemed pretty positive but had to go back and see what all the fuss was about! After looking at some of Backlunds_socks posts seemed more like he has an agenda. He was pretty much negative the whole time through the entire thread adding fuel to the fire and getting people riled up about the coach. Do we have a few moles who are deliberately antagonizing the forum because it seems like it!? The same guys posting the same stuff over and over regardless of how many long winded, constructive and insightful responses courteously offered.

Tkachuk has to be one of the best players in the league already along the boards. So smart.

Man I was fuming after that non call on Gaudreau’s breakaway. What in god’s name is going on in this league

We simply have, before tonight, always looked inept while trailing games under Gulutzan. You have to recognize that - we're almost at 100 games now.

I could be wrong but didn't they show a graphic during tonight's game that showed that the Flames had 22 comeback wins last year?

Haven't read the comments yet but just finished watching the game and here are some comments:
- fantastic game by Bennett, for the love of God keep him in the wing, he has soooo much more energy
- good first game by Janko
- Versteeg is where plays go to die, so frustrated with this guy. No compete and terrible giveaways constantly. Also getting sick of him doing nothing on the PP
- Great game by Ferland, see what happens when you make a big hit??
- The game has passed Stajan by. He is so slow and ineffective.
- Good job smith yet again!
- Tkachuk obviously awesome

Ok now to read all the GT and the PGT, see you in 2 hours heh
