[GT] Flames @ Mammoth (Feat. Tusky) Oct. 15th, 2025

[3rd liner]

Schmaltz, Cooley… watching the oilers embellish their way into powerplays so figuring it’s worth a shot. FU Utah.

[ComixZone]

Utah looks tired.

Flames are only 1 shot out of this thanks to Cooley.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Good effort here despite being pretty tired.

[SuperMatt18]

Utah sure getting away with a lot tonight

Zary's skating looks a step slower this year

List the teams below the Flames in GF. Shot on goal. And if Huska is such a defensive genius how many teams are ahead of us preventing shots against? Look, we can go in circles all day. Might as well get back to the game thread.

Weegar 20 goal season
Huberdeau multiple 20-30 goal seasons.

What stats you looking at??

Sure looks like a lot of parts to me.

Statistics are for losers.

[3rd liner]

Kadri tripped, no call. Refs want Utah to have a happy home opener.

Umm, you're the one arguing they are talented, not me.

A Walmart greeter, probably.

[NewFan]

The team is missing Pospisil so much.

I don't know what to say if you watch the way this team plays 100% on the perimeter in the offensive zone, collapses way too far in the defensive zone, and in general is an absolute mess in the neutral zone and think it's purely a skill issue and not at least in part a systems issue.

The system sucks this year. It sucked last year, but a hot goalie and some pretty lucky bounces when needed had the Flames over perform. It had absolutely nothing to do with this scared brand of hockey.

The argument by some is foolproof.
If you say that Wolf was responsible for all the wins, then the coach never gets credit for those wins, but now if Wolf doesn't replicate this year, it's the coaches fault for miss-managing him.

Similarly an argument that the team is good on paper, allows posters to not give him any credit of over achieving last year while assigning him the blame for a bad year this season.

Fool-proof.

Well they got one shot in the 2nd period, so there is a chance

[Inferno]

Another missed call.

Well Huska is a never apex coach, so not sure why he gets a total pass on this board.
