[VANFLAMESFAN]

Need to make tomorrows games matter.

[skcli]

0 fr 10 in the PP but will win in OT.

[FBI]

Play ZAYNE

Oh yeah, hockey too.

[troutman]

Wild is such a stupid team name. End them!

[kyuss275]

How can this game not be a national game. I’m going to need somebody to dm me. If you know what I mean.

[NewFan]

If you can't win today's game they don't deserve POs. I would play 11 forwards and 7 Ds with Zayne. Use Zayne in PPs and 4th line winger; Lamberg - Pospisil - Zayne . He is our savior anyway.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Goodness me for his first game don't toss the poor guy on the wing!

[EVERLAST]

Straight out of the gate PLEASE fans .....

MAKE SOME NOISE!!! Give the boys some goosebumps and JUMP!!!

It helps . This is it . Season OVER . Come on Fellas!!!

Lets F ing GO !!!

Go Flames Go

[PaperBagger'14]

I would hope that the coaching staff strongly consider Parekh in a sheltered role tonight, you can’t avoid seeing how badly this team is screaming for offensive skill, especially on the PP. I got a feeling Zayne makes his debut tonight.

[flambers]

Curious on the lines, guessing Frost is out,

Hunt is in.

We need to see what they look like next year, with a fresh start, before drawing any conclusions on them. But nope, most fans have already decided,. Trade 'em for a 3rd!!

I don't think this one is only applicable to Canada. Flyer fans were saying similar things about Pelletier and Kuzmenko after less games.

I have a hard time drawing any conclusions, so the next Frost contract, and its term in particular is going to be interesting. I can see it being anything from 2-5 years.

it's the quantity and inescapability that matters

The BarnBurner boys actually pissed me off after they crapped on the two the other day.

They gleefully omitted the fact that Frost has been providing extremely vital other intangibles to the team outside of goals and assists. He drives play into the offensive zone, wins a ton of faceoffs and is markedly better than any other faceoff taker on the roster since his arrival. He carries the puck like I thought Lindholm was supposed to when the Flames acquired him.

Frost is a big piece moving forward even without the goals and assists.

[Bingo]

I think both Philly players have played better than their counting stats.

Some will blame Huska (and he has a role), but not having speed and transition defensemen creates a drop in offence pretty much across every player on the roster.

[getbak]

In a world of must win games, this is the most must winningest of them all.




This is the 107th Flames-Wild game in history. It's the first one I've ever cared about.

Counting stats be damned, I've really liked Frost. He can skate with the puck and gain the zone as well as anyone on the team. People mock the "snakebit" tag but he had numerous great chances, made good attempts and got robbed by goalies or bad luck. And he would have had a goal last game but for Huberdeau's side.

[Ba'alzamon]

Yup. I've actually liked Farabee more than I expected to, if you can believe it. And I've certainly liked watching both of them more than their counting stats would imply.

I think they'll both have good seasons next year. Nothing groundbreaking, but good.

For the record: I think Sharangovich will be back in form next year, too. Not necessarily another 30 goal season, but more than 20.

I'm sure it's a result of doing a daily show and how the team has been the last month or so, but they all seem to be riding the rollercoaster more like the In the Dome guys when they do AB (and they annoy me in the clips on socials which is admittedly all i've seen of them).

BB when I did it is normally even keel and tells it like it is. I don't really enjoy the show when day to date it's like the Simpsons Frogurt bit
