[GDT] The Battle of Abbotsford: Flames vs. Canucks 8 MT

[getbak]

Blech. I hope Cooley's okay.

[FusionX]

I mean, it was a nice goal but Nathan Mckinnon? Hope Cooley's ok! I'm down for a bit of preseason 3 on 3

[Goriders]

Groin or hip flexor?

[Wastedyouth]

I wanted more hockey anyways.

What's with the NHL.com page? According to them, Wolf hasn't played any minutes, and yet has allowed three goals. The Canucks don't have any shots in the third period. The plus minus is out of whack.

If they are charging for tickets at these games, shouldn't the head office be putting in more than a half-bummed effort?

Also, Cooley injured? He flung himself at the puck a little too hard...

Think that’s it for Tinordi.

But my god. Tackle the guy someone.

[NewFan]

Hope Pelletier scores in OT.

[Wastedyouth]

SprOng was a pretty savvy get by the Canucks. He's pretty good. Especially on the PP.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Why was Tinordi out late.

Bozo decisions after the late goals in periods 1 and 2. Dddddoh!

This is an example of the types of games I expect this season. Flames will be in it, looking good, but these 'hiccups' will happen with this inexperience. That's ok. I still don't see Flames losing 10-1 games like San Jose did.

Likely an issue with the Abbotsford local scorekeeper not being up to NHL standards.

[Wastedyouth]

Lol all these highlights against showing Canucks grade A chances and Tinordi is in them.

Bean being out probably contributed to that

[Reggie Dunlop]

Lol

[JurassicTunga12]

was that not tripping

[Robbob]

That should have been a tripping

[AC]

I mean, Hughes absolutely tripped Pospisil there to cause the turnover and odd man rush.

[Wastedyouth]

Um. Tripping?

Ah well. Fun game.

[Flame On]

what an outrageous non call.

Remember the main goal isn't winning, but evaluation. Putting Tinordi in that situation helps answer some questions and makes the roster decisions easier.
