[GT] NYR at Calgary Flames: Fox in the Wolf's Den

[Nelson]

I do not understand the constant attacks on Huska. I think Huska is doing a great job.

Too bad Huberdeau and Kadri can’t follow their lead.

I think those guys have been fine, same with the whole team, really.

But then that means on one of the next two shifts your third pair is out against one of their top two lines and you'd complain then if they scored on that shift for them having the third pair out against the Rangers top 6.

Playing the Kadri line and our 3rd pair against their 3rd / 4th line with a neutral zone faceoff was the right call.

It was a defensive zone faceoff and Fox was in the ice, so not all scrubs. Everyone was rested with a long break and he top 4 could either finish that period off or you get an offensive zone faceoff to get the third pair out if you must.

It was a bad decision and it allowed the Rangers to tie a game they have no business being in.

Not sure pointing out mistakes is an attack.

Ryan Leslie in the intermission shared a funny story about a Flames summer conditioning session back in the day where Fox & Gaudreau were present & Treliving wanted Johnny to put a bug in Foxies ear about signing. Gaudreau agreed but then followed up with “Who’s Foxy?”

To be fair I was pretty attacky.

Pretty sure most of us here agree with you. So far he's managed to get way more out of this roster than any of us expected. It's impressive.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Right call, bad luck for Coleman. Need a big PK here.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Why Coleman.

Notice how he just ignored this fact and moved onto the next thing after this was posted?

Yes but it was an icing after the faceoff after the goal, so the Flames couldn't change.

The shift after the first goal was Kadri line vs Cuylle-Brodzinski-Kakko line with a neutral zone face off.

With 3:30 left you couldn't just ride your top 2 pairs.

Just because it ended with a bit of a lucky goal against doesn't mean it was some critical coaching error by Huska.

Almost has them in the top 10 without a forward that can score a goal.

That shouldn’t be a penalty. Accidntal collision and Shesterkin was back in the play faster than Coleman.

[3rd liner]

A player loses an edge and falls into another player, who falls. How is that a penalty?

[81MC]

How the game going?

[GioforPM]

Win a face off and clear it you dummies.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Love the howl after players are robbed.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Very nice PK. Now let's go get the next one.

Some posters are so determined to make a narrative true, that they'll go to great ends to find anything they can to support it.
