Waa waa waa, Mike Smith is playing goal. Waa waa waa. Pro tip, WE KNOW!
Yeah it's unbearable, that's enough of that for me tonight see you guys in the PGT if we win.

Bruins have had 6:00 of powerplay time so far. Flames have had zero.

Wait 'till that changes. The score might do so in turn.

On a positive note. I’m very confident in betting the over tonight.

Over 6 goals you say? Easy peazy

Save us your sanctimonious BS.
So we are tracking save percentage after one period now? That’s not really a good use of that stat.

Regroup and get that mojo going. Strong start and the shortie brought a lot of energy. Team sagged a little. Just need to keep it simple, keep their assignments defensively and chip away.

Smart, clean exits and get back on top of the game. The first few shifts were great. Get that game back.

Bottom pairing could use a rest, I look forward to when Valimaki comes back and we can rotate the three rookies or if they decide to go get someone to rotate in. They’ve been very good but you can tell their defensive play is tapering off

If smith is letting goals in, you would rather we all just ignore it? Or just don’t comment on goals against in games where smith plays?

Not sure how that is reasonable, so instead you all just bog down the GT talking about how we shouldn’t talk about mike smith letting in goals...

Michael Frolik is now on pace for 23 goals this year. Wonder how close he'll come to that mark.

Count up the comments on both sides, those constantly bitching and those saying "We know, let it go" and see who's bogging it down.

I mean get used to it. I don't know why people are surprised that he let's in softies. We don't need 10 posts every goal about how much he sucks.

Pretty good start considering back-to-back with a solid travel day. PK killed the early offense but gotta love the goal. 2nd and 3rd period Flames incoming. The boys got this.

He’s made a couple of big saves. The d is awfully leaky lately. First goal was garbage.

Good chance we don't see Valimaki for the rest of the season. Tree thinks another month before he is on the ice. and with those high ankle sprains they're not gonna push him. In fact the who LHD D man rumors come from Trelving saying he doesn't think Valimaki makes it back any time soon.

Ok well personally I don’t like so many Johnny!!! Comments every time he scores, he’s great we get it, why are we surprised when he scores.

Why do we need 50 posts every time we score. I mean we know we will score most games.....

I'm not a crazy Smith fan but that's ridiculous pulling period by period stats like that.
