[GT] CGY at VCR: It's Mackey Time!

[djsFlames]

So is any puck that hits our end boards going to be tallied as a shot this period?

Our coaching staff is the least impressive part of this team.

I'm not sure, but I think Backlund might be hurt. I didn't see him out with his normal linemates the last shift.

Everyone does. The breakout is just awful. It's not mediocre, it's not a work in progress. It's awful. Tape-to-tape is just not in the vocabulary.

I like Mangiapane tonight. Don’t mind Lucic’s game either. Uhhhhhhhhh, that’s about it. Markstrom goes without saying.

Only a matter of time if this keeps up

This is a painfully bad effort against a junk team.

unbiased site says we are out chancing them...doesn't mean they are playing well though

Lol a lot of whiners tonight, just appreciate the hockey game a little for the good moments. Game is relatively close and none of Vancouver's shots have looked very dangerous despite the crazy shot clock going on. The goals will come, we have had some dangerous looking chances.

This team needs an enema.
Either the coach/system or some players who want the puck and will do whatever it takes to retrieve it. So many passengers.... why are we letting them get every loose puck, I’ve never seen such lack of emotion so frequently.

It almost looked like Lindholm was with mony and gaudreau before the break

Edit: looks like just roll of the lines

Literally, 98 % of NHL teams use the same PP breakout. It’s all about timing and execution.

[The Boy Wonder]

Backs is out? ####ty

[Redliner]

Backs hurt. Please don’t be serious.

Agree

I think I said it a few weeks ago too but I really liked something Torterella said in the past.

No d to d passes, send it up ice as soon as you get it. Pounce on the other team before they can get their D system set

[CsInMyBlood]

Oh noooooooo. No Backlund would be real bad news.

[direwolf]

So far we appear to be the perfect tonic for a struggling team like the Canucks to potentially break out of their slump. Flames better find another gear quick, or this could end up being really embarrassing tonight.

Rebounds there on Demko

Yup. Glen Gulutzan would be proud, however.
