[GT] Flames at Sharks. Huge swing game.

Improvement is visible though. He only spotted the Sharks one.

He had a good save on that two on one, and during the powerplay he was solid.

The Flames couldn't get shots on their odd man rushes.

Nothing personal against her as a female. she's just bland robotic and just annoying with her lack of personality and broadcast talent.

can you imagine if Smith did what Subban did for Vegas? Yikes.

Yeah, thats the kind of play that gets everyone into the lynch mob.

Met her at Stampede two years ago and asked why she left. Not a lot of detail but that was the gist. She was awesome because she would get fired up at them old timey hockey men because they had no clue what they were talking about in intermissions. Especially about the Flames. Showed she paid attention to the team she was covering.

That's a shame, always liked her.

Tuned in late. Saw the score. Looked at the play-chart in the NHL app. Shot against: save, shot against: blocked, shot against: goal. 50 seconds in.

Pretty much what I was expecting.

[hah]

At the game. Sharks came out flying . Flames weathered storm. Played better after goal. Military night here. A few flames fans. Real Desl threw puck to my son during warm up.

Smokey all weekend in San Fran.

Come on boys. Step it up a little more and start rolling.

[activeStick]

Flames are getting some quality chances at least, so hopefully they capitalize

Smith let in 4 Evander Kane goals last year in one game, no?

Flames got this.

Yup. I’m all for female announcers, but they need to be held to the same standard and quality as their male counterparts. I don’t feel that’s the case with Cassie.

At the game. They were not ready to play that first couple shifts. Totally asleep. Doesn’t excuse Smith but whole team was bad

Uncharacteristically weak stat and cherry picking from Haynes. He's generally better than that.

Yeah, Smith is letting in early pucks, but 9/12 he lets in 1 of the first 6 SOG? That reminds me of the Sex Panther quote from Anchorman.

Looks like it was Rittich.

I can’t even take your posts seriously anymore on Smith. How is that a weak
Stat? It shows that the Flames are playing behind the 8-Ball almost every game despite routinely carrying the play. Is it weak because you don’t like it?

Both I think. Iirc correctly Smith got pulled

No, it was Smith.

Rittich however allowed two Kane goals a week or so later.

[Manhattanboy]

First line getting bottled up on road for second game in a row.

Maybe switch Neal and Lindholm for a period or two?

Don’t pile on.

I remember leaving that game at the second intermission. Smith definitely started that game. He let in a couple softies and then the team folded. I was at Cold Garden before the puck dropped on the third period.
