Dude. An hour? Good gravy.

Did she really just say if Brodie wasn't playing net for Smith, he might have had a chance to get back? Maybe if the goalie played in the fricken net, the D wouldn't need to play goal.

[Redrum]

There's no way she just tried to blame Brodie the slightest bit for Smith being a moron...

[GranteedEV]

Was that the Subrosia theme on the organ?

[timbit]

I said “some posters”. Reading comprehension also an issue?

Ducks look big

I think Smith would've made the save if Brodie didn't keep him from getting back in the net.

He's played better than Rittich the last couple games. But my theory is that they are deciding if he's the backup going forward or whether they need a late move for another guy.

Smith’s puckhandling is a huge asset to this team....see Islander and many many other games. He substantially diminishes opponents time in Flames zone.

Name call all you like. The Athletic had a decent article recently looking at Smith that tried to quantify the benefit of Smith playing the puck and came to the conclusion that it made little to no difference.

What would the score be tonight if he stayed in his net? I'd hazard a guess we'd be in front.

Last season I was terrified every time the 4th line was on the ice. This season, I’m like... put them out there against the Western All-Stars if you want, Peters.

This thread settles it for me:

LWcrowfoot must be mmf.

Welcome back!

[Jeff Lebowski]

CGY started this period great then the pace slowed right down. CGY needs to play (pass, skate) way way faster.

Get going boys

Smith or Miller?

[MrMike]

Gaudreau is just off his game

[direwolf]

Johnny not having a good night. Ducks always seem to know how to neutralize him.

[Flash Walken]

Bennett best flame tonight.

Maybe let's wait until the game is over to decide the impact.

Did that article look ATB the effect on opponent forechecking or just transition to offence?
