One hard period then you can rest tomorrow.
Come on boys! Get it done!

To quote Sutter from the press conference earlier "that's not how it works" re: media asking about demoting players.

Yeah, I’m betting Sutter isn’t sitting either guy that people are complaining about. It is a mismatch line though.

I don't think they played another shift after that last goal they gave up. At least they are getting rested...

[Reign of Fire]

Francis is hilarious; last game, he told us Mangipane was turning the puck over, now he's making world-class passes.

[Mass_nerder]

I'm expecting some weird line combos. Sutter is going to go with whoever has the legs.

[dino7c]

Watching that again it really should have been icing

[Moneyhands23]

Better score quick while there's still some gas in the tank

[Classic_Sniper]

Finally catching a game live and it’s not pretty. Slow first half of the game, just the way Darryl likes it. But looks like the pace picked up quite a bit there in the last 10 or so minutes. Capitals picked up big momentum from the two goals they scored.

Really awful game by the 4th line right now too. When your most useless offensive line is also the line costing you goals, you can’t be trusted to be on the ice in any zone. Looks like Darryl feels the same way as he has benched them. Didn’t see them in the rotation after the Ovechkin goal. Probably the right decision as well because they can’t check worth a damn and that was one ugly looking breakout too.

I didnt like Vladar's reaction. Although it was an incredibly soft play in front of the net much like the Colorado game (this one was in front of our net though, not the oppositions)

Darryl doesn't like the game slow...that is the opposite of what he likes

[browna]

Again, I didn’t like the location and magnitude of the rebound came off Vladar on the first goal on a pretty routine shot. Clearly surprised the players on the ice too that the puck popped out right in the slot. First goal his last start was not great rebound control, too.

Rest of the period after that lifeline was all Caps.

[TheChief]

Since being taken off PP1 there is no room for Monahan on this roster. Should absolutely be eating popcorn for the rest of the season.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Third Period...

Let's go lads!

[WhiteTiger]

Let's go, Flames! Huge third!

[GioforPM]

Hard to believe shots are 24-16. Doesn’t feel like it.

[direwolf]

Flames looked like they got a little complacent after they made it 2-0 and stopped skating. Just another lesson to never take your foot off the gas when you have a lead, especially against a top tier team like the Caps.

Hopefully the boys can find enough energy in the 3rd to win this one, or at least get a point.

That’s because Francis is a moron. Mangiapane was the best Flames on the ice against the Canadiens. It was basically the Suzuki vs Mangiapane show.

[flames_fan_down_under]

It's hard to believe we went decades without these jersey's full time. Never again will we bear witness to such a travesty.

They are the best jersey's in the league.

[zamler]

I'll be happy with a point and this uh point.

[DoubleK]

Is it just me or does Coleman retrieve/win a lot of pucks in the offensive zone?

Like more than you'd expect, watching the play.
