[GT] Flames @ Tampa Bay: Jan. 6, 2022

[Strange Brew]

Engblom on color for the Lightning feed. He’s a pro.

The voice of the PBP guy sounds familiar.

[Glassplat]

Mang got stuck with Monahan and Ritchie last game so I’m giving him a pass

At the top of the circle for some reason when Kucherov got the pass.
Totally out of position. He could see all 3 Flames forwards in front of him, who did he think was behind him?
About as brutal defensive awareness I've seen in a while.

Naw, we drafted this phenom from Tampa called Tniop. Dude's a stud.

We also need to look at our defence in more realistic terms. We don’t have a single elite defenceman - hence their salaries.

Kylington and Tanev are making a combined $5.25M. Flames are getting awesome value, but what good is that when you turn around and spend the savings from that pairing on a 3rd pairing that costs you more than your 2nd pairing despite both 3rd pairing defencemen being absolutely awful.

I wondered if he followed a Bolt out and was supposed to switch. But more likely he flew the zone.

Zadorov has created all our scoring chances.

Flames could sure use some help in the goal scoring department. Our goaltending and overall team D are solid. If we just had some more skill up front to help us compete with these top tier teams, I think we'd have something.

Yeah was just about to type that. Are they local, or is that a national feed? Pretty solid pairing IMO.

Zadorov has had the 2 best scoring chances tonight including a post

[dino7c]

Zadorov has been the Flames best player

[skcli]

They may as well fly home tonight to enjoy a long weekend.

Skater anyway. Vladar’s been fine.

When you have 3 or 4 young D , I guess there is going to be some growing pains. But...darn!

[agulati]

Need some injection from the AHL/Young guys. Get Pelletier up!

[Mass_nerder]

Okay a quick pp goal and we've got this.

[agulati]

Come on boys. Let’s get one here

[jonesy]

Get one, guys
