I dunno haven't you guys seen Tyler Dellow's pet theory...Gio was propped up by Hamilton. the guy's done
To be fair to Dellow he didn't really state it as much that Hamilton was carrying Gio - but more that Hamilton was better than Brodie so the pairing as a whole looked better and maybe Gio wasn't carrying as much of the load. The exact tweet was:

I have a pet theory that Mark Giordano actually has aged, we just couldn't tell because Hamilton was an upgrade on Brodie.
I'll be honest that I was a bit concerned too that maybe that pairing that was carried by Gio for the first year or so they were together had actually become more of an equal pairing between Gio and Hamilton by the end of last year.
Very happy to say that any evidence of that being remotely the case is 100% gone.

The way I am approaching this season, the Flames need to win 6/10 games (or obtain 12 points with OT losses). This will give them 98 points and hopefully a comfortable spot in the playoffs.
Games 0-10: 5-5-0 (10/12 points) -- Need to make up 2 points
Games 10-20: 2-0-1 (5/12 points so far) -- To make up for the lost 2 points in the first segment, they now need 9 points in the remaining 7 games to get right on track. For example, 4-2-1 in the remaining 7 games is not too much of a stretch imo.
Thanks!! I was watching that feed and was bummed out that all of the Sportsnet clips left it out!
I've noticed a trend that American broadcasts tend to really focus on the celebration after a goal or win, where as Canadian (mostly Rogers) usually continuously switches shots in a horrible attempt to try to capture everything going on everywhere, including way too much time on the dejected losing team.
AC's video of Backlund's OT winner against Anaheim in the 2015 playoffs is a perfect example of one broadcaster (American) perfectly capturing the celebration and atmosphere, vs Rogers just dinking around from shot to shot, removing the viewer from the exciting moment.

A Buffalo/Calgary final would be both the best and the worst. I have to pull for Buffalo, but I'd also be sad for Calgary to lose (I do cheer hard for them against 29 other teams in the league, after all). If we ever win the cup I want it to be against someone it feels really good to beat (and we were one period away from getting there in 2006...)
Just curious, is this because you are a transplant living in Calgary or is there another reason you're such a big Flames supporter?

I'm a born and raised Calgarian. The Sabres thing is the weird part, lol. Started when I was a young teenager and wanted to cheer for some off the wall team, to be different or whatever (who knows, teenagers are weird). Just kind of grew from there. Liked the Flames before and after, but I guess just grew more of an identity as a Sabres fan.

I've noticed a couple times last year during big post-game celebrations that Mike Smith will come over to Johnny and maul his head with his trapper - I think he is actually trying to take Johnny's helmet off.
I never mentioned it before because I thought it was just be exuberance, but now I see it again in the above clip, so I wonder if it's a thing?
AC, any chance you could look back at big wins and see if this is more than coincidence?

Canadian broadcasters show the coach while the team celebrates. I could careless to watch a coach while theres a team celebration.

Smith definitely likes to mug the OT goal scorer or other goalie, here are some great timestamps after various OT wins last year:

It's like they expect a pro coach to be blowing a gasket after a goal, instead of getting his team focussed and back into it. Or, if it's OT, he's headed off ice asap.
Hat's off to you. I feel like there's some common ground between Sabre fans and Flames fans..
Robbed of a Stanley Cup.
Teams have been pretty abysmal in the past 10 years.
Haven't had solid goaltending since their franchise starter left.
Bright futures for both teams coming into the 2018-19 season.
It's just a shame I will have to hate you in the Calgary Buffalo cup final this year
So true, they ( like most teams) have a better track record but similar for sure. Last 20 years:
