[PGT] Flames complete the comeback! 3-2 in a shootout!

[getbak]

It's in the shorter highlights package, but not the longer "condensed game".



About 3:45.

- Jankowski looks great
- Bennett is back!
- Smith a stud again in net
- Tkachuk is going to be a star

Sam Bennett back to 60 pts pace, finally

Best part of the Tkachuk goal is as he's shooting the puck he's literally surrounded by all 5 Preds:

Just finished watching the game. My thoughts:

- Bennett looked great on the wing. He played with lots of energy and should have had a goal.
- It's so nice to have Smith in the net making big saves keeping the team in it.
- Tkachuk is awesome -- a player that gets under the other teams skin with skill to boot.
- Monahan's wrist shot is filthy.

The only issue I see is having Brodie and Versteeg on the PP. Seems like everything is run through them (they have the puck most of the time), instead of Johnny and Mony. If they're going to play 4 forwards, put Tkachuck and Bennett out there with Hamilton/Gio.

Anyway, after the last couple of games, glad they started playing their game and pulled out the win.

Yeah I have to agree. I've seen good games out of everyone so far except Hamilton. He's slow to react to the play and just doesn't seem to have any jam to his game or an extra gear. I'd like to see some more out of him. He's hanging Gio out to dry too often in his own zone as well.

Yay comeback win! I just saw the highlights and it looked like a good one. Wow those goals from Tkachuk and Ferland were nice!

Interesting the Nashville TV guy said the Flames were built very similar to the Preds. That has been my argument on why the Flames are close to being contenders.

Whaaaaat?! I fell asleep after the PP to start the 3rd because it was almost 1130 and I had to get up at 5am this morning, and this is what I wake up to!?! How sweet! Wish I could have stayed awake, I only slept about 2 hours anyway :P Glad to see Chucky and Ferly score, both of them were a beauties! Yay!

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

I was more pissed at the none call when Backlund powered to the net. The Preds player had his stick horizontal and in the hands of Backlund. I've seen more benign plays called this year. With that said the Flames could have been called for some penalties in the third in the defensive zone as well. Seemed the refs put away the whistles. I wonder why the game was more entertaining and had more flow?

Are we still wanting Sigalet fired?

Just trying to stay on top of things.

At least you're honest And your avatar rules!

Flames also got extremely lucky with Fiala missing the net. Don't think I've ever seen a sure goal like that get missed. Puck bounces off a stanchion, goes right out front of an open net and Fiala swings and misses. Anyone have a gif of that play? If that goes it, it's likely a different outcome and CP is in meltdown mode.

It was bouncing like crazy and for some reason he decided to one time it instead of stop it first. I would have been shocked if he somehow made contact and doubly shocked if he hit the net as well.

A few other comments that I missed the first time around.. Where is Hamilton's accuracy? He used to pick top corners and now can't hit the net for crap.. How many games does it take to shake the rust off there. Actually, that goes for most flames besides a few, hit the DANG net..

The other thing I wanted to say was Kulak looked really poised there, yay!
