[GT] Flames @ Canucks

[SOMBRI2]

I want the Flames come out and put aggressive forechecking to redeem themselves. Keep it simple and stick with the plan. The goals will come.

Elliott sucks that is all.

I'm surprised so many in this thread were optimistic that it was just a matter of "keep playing how we're playing and we'll win".

This is what win streaks look like even when it's bad hockey teams. Little things go your way and you win games you normally wouldn't win, this has looked like one of those games from the beginning. Flames games have looked the same way to our benefit during win streaks in the past.

I am watching this game at my hostel in Ecuador. The game is like my Spanish...no bueno.

Yup. Doesnt sound like a lot of finish for goals or hits tonight

LTTP but that challenge in the 1st killed the momentum even though they were on a kill and Elliott is having one of those nights. Frustrating.

It would actually be hilarious if the Canucks somehow did make the playoffs. I watch them a fair bit and I struggle to understand how they have won any more than a handful of games.

Such a terrible team. How are the Flames losing this game?

3 goals on 10 shots. Not good.

[MisterJoji]

Totally dominating the play outside a bad 30 seconds.

#13's turnover at the blueline caused the too many man penalty. Way too many unnecessary turnovers in this game. Need to tighten up in the 3rd.

Yes the skaters need to score. But elliot has little to no game and has been a total disappointment

[JurassicTunga12]

[Rejean31]

But he isn't. It's kind of the norm for defensemen.

What do Larry Robinson and Rod Langway have in common (other than Norris trophies and HOF inductions)?... They both became full time NHLers at 23.

And the are more the norm than the exception.

Gio is a unique case actually. He was undrafted and became a star in his mid to late twenties. Name another defenseman who followed that path.

People want to talk about the defects of Wotherspoon.

No problem with that.

Bottom line is that Gios and Gaudreaus giveaways have cost the Flames 2 goals against. One directly and one creating a too many men that cost the FLAMES ... PP goal against.

I hate this game. I'm going to bed.

[squiggs96]

This place is absolutely miserable when the Flames are losing.

[bubbsy]

Not sure elliott is to blame. Most of the 10 shots against have been excellent chances. The flames just haven't been opportunistic with their chances and have given up some transition chances and nucks cashing in.
