[GT] Flames v. Leafs 7:30 - well, they’re playing again

[zamler]

That is comical hockey defence.

[flamingred89]

Ha. Nifty deflection. Markstrom lost his net on that one and his delayed kick was kind of funny. Oh well.

[Harry Lime]

I guess don't tell the Flames that havoc in front of the net = goals. It's a secret. Shhhh....

[agulati]

Jeez. Monahan just standing around in the o-zone. Puck comes back and in the back of our net.

[shadowlord]

There was definitely a failed clearing attempt by the Flames just prior to that goal. Not sure who was at-fault on that one.

[GranteedEV]

I think this team is just cursed.

[1qqaaz]

Simmonds sure worked for that deflection.

[Red]

Hey look, there is Sean Monahan playing all that great D we've been hearing about

I don't think open communication is a bad thing, I just don't think he would do it in giving choice. I think he simply made bad decisions.

Open communication isn't a bad thing but some of these players are acting very entitled and not very business like.

Look that Monahan guy, most useless guy.

[GioforPM]

Good Lord. Monahan has enough problems where not managing to block a pass after his teammate muffed a clear, and his two other teammates couldn’t control a guy on the ice means the goal is his fault? Passes get through all the time. It’s not some major fail.

3, 2, 1, until we hear about some ludicrous post about Johnny...

[Mr.Coffee]

Nice try Backlund. The pace just seems so slow out there it’s quite strange. It’s like they’re playing pond hockey or something.

[neo45]

Games been bad but that was some unreal work by Rasmus


I also thought he actually covered Simmonds well on the goal just a nice deflection

[Harry Lime]

Nordstrom - Backlund - Bennett

Lines are what they always should have been. Good work, Sutter.

I used to major in behaviors as part of my job. Definitely speculation on my part, but something is wrong with the way the players are tuning out coach's.

If there is one player that has been unfairly maligned it is Gaudreau.

[browna]

Weak weak penalty call.

[GioforPM]

Hey, a shorty!!

[FiveSeven]

Damn, that's what skill looks like. Leafs are goooooood.
