You fool! That is why people need to have lucky underwear, so you can always wear it regardless of circumstance. I have been wearing my brand name pair every game night since the '89 series. These can be worn under any article of clothing

It worked the last 2 games, Flames continue to play a solid brand of hockey and find themselves top 3 in their division by Christmas

If the Flames lose tonight, this song should be played during practice...the whole time.

Wasn't 18 games the upper end of how long it can take a team to adjust to a new system?

Well here we are at game 19. Hoping to be impressed. GFG

I was impressed with games 17 and 18, so there is that.

Kulak and Engelland have complimented each other well.
I have been very happy with this pairing.
I know Engelland gets a lot of flack on CP, but I think he has played some good hockey, filling his role nicely.

Guys, they're 2-0-0 while I've got this awful flu. I accept my duty to stay sick longer!

So last game the lines were:

Bennett - Monahan - Brouwer
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Vey - Stajan - Chaisson
Hathaway - F. Hamilton - Ferland

D pairings:
Gio - Hamilton
Wideman - Brodie
Kulak - Engelland

I am not 100% sure if this is correct but I think this is what I saw. I was working and trying to keep up, so please correct me if I am wrong.

I really liked the Backs and Hamilton lines. I think they are fun to watch, I just wish the "top" line would pick it up a bit and create more chances. Are the other teams using their top shut down lines against these guys, is that why they are struggling to produce? Have they looked dominate and are just snake bitten?

I haven't been able to watch closely so I haven't really seen what the issues could be.

Anyway, just spit balling, hopefully GG doesn't mess with these lines too much. I think they are starting to create some chemistry.

They were doing it against subpar opponents. If they do it to the Hawks, then we're getting somewhere.

All true. But you gotta start somewhere and build confidence.

True, but they looked like a team rather than a disjointed, confused mess. They could have rolled over after the loss of Johnny.

The Bennett line actually looked pretty decent.. Something to build on for sure.

They are 2-0 since I trimmed and then shaved my beard.

I'm not sure what is proper superstition etiquette, to apply the razor to my bare skin anyway. yeowch

They outplayed the Hawks for most of the last game, punctuated buy a brutal goal on Elliot and a couple brain farts. Crawford stood on his head. It's not unreasonable
