[GDT] Flames vs Marlies - Sunday Dec 28 @ 1:00pm (MST)

[Drury18]

Yea, a Kulak and Culkin pairing on the PP unit would be pretty sweet.

[Drury18]

Okay, maybe it's a little bit like Iowa...

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

The Reinhart line is looking decent to start.

[Drury18]

Nice to see Wotherspoon using his size to take more shots. The last 3 or 4 games, he's let a few bombs go from the point and they guys in front can chip away at it.

[Drury18]

Wow, that kid just bounced off Sieloff. I didn't catch the name, but they looked pretty matched for size. He skates up to Sieloff for the hit and Sieloff remains standing while this guys stick goes flying.

[Drury18]

Flames leading the shots 10-5. 5 of our shots have come from the defence.

[Drury18]

Marlies Goal

0-1 Marlies

Less then a minute left in the 1st

[Drury18]

Flames with a good shift after the goal, but can't get one in.

End of 1st

0-1 Marlies

Shots on Goal: 10-7 Flames

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

I'll take it. Can't expect too much given their tough schedule through this stretch.

[Drury18]

Yea, I wonder how this stretch will turn out.

I'm not going to sit here saying I like or will happily accept losses, but the schedule is NOT favourable to them and fatigue is going to become an issue at some point. I hope they can continue to work hard during this stretch and be competitive rather then play flat games like they did on Friday. If they are pushing a team right to the end in a 1-2 game, that loss would be easier to understand.

[Drury18]

And we are a go for the 2nd!

[Drury18]

The Arnold/Poirier/Baertschi line buzzing early in the 2nd.

They had a nice 3 on 2, but did a little too much passing to get a good shot.

[Drury18]

Max Reinhart going off for tripping. Flames going to their first PK

[Drury18]

Flames kill off the penalty without letting the Marlies have any real chances to score.

[Drury18]

10 minutes into the 2nd and there have been a total of 4 shots between the two teams.

Tells you all you need to know about the pace of this game.

[Drury18]

Poirier gets hooked, but no call is made. That was a pretty obvious hook too.

[Drury18]

Well, there's been one more SOG in the last 4 minutes.

That's really about it.

[Drury18]

Flames picking it up a little bit here. Wolf and Vause with a chance in the Marlies zone, but Vause shoots it wide.

We have some pushing and shoving and crosschecking going on. A Marlies player is holding onto a ref that's standing over a Flames player.

[Drury18]

Carrick vs Tousignant.

Tousi's had enough. He's just beating down this kid. Tousi slips and ends up on a knee and the refs break it up.

[Drury18]

Ferland and Ross sitting in the box with off-setting minors.

Only penalties up so far.
