Shot clock is looking great. Cooley’s SV%, not so much. Certainly not pumping up his trade value.

It always amazes me how slow the Flames PP is. Players just keep holding on to pucks a little bit too long. Taking a bit too long before passing the puck. Meanwhile, the rest of the players are mostly static and puck watching.

The Flames desperately need more of what Parekh and Gridin do. Quick puck touches, leading to high danger chances. Huberdeau used to do that in FLA, but I don't see it anymore.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a 3 shot and 2 goal period for a team before

It was both exhilarating and panic inducing

I mean your title explains it - A Thursday vs the Wild, before the end of Dry January no less.

Watching WJC Canada firing the puck around made this so much more obvious in contrast. We need a McKenna so bad

38 seconds and it’s half over with only 4 shots and a 2 goal lead.

Crazy the things you “cheer” for in a tank.

Flames being on pace for 12 shots against Minnesota is pretty impressive.
Might be another defensive clinic without any scoring.
