[GT] Flames v. Leafs 7:30 - well, they’re playing again

[zamler]

Lucic is about the only that has a give-a-care factor.

Guys have off years...not to mention the team in front of him.

Every goal is a scramble with guys allowed to stand in the slot all say or odd man rush ect.

The 4th goal was an awful rebound. Not really sure how you cannot see that.

Fact of the matter is Campbell outplayed Markstrom, which is what happens every night it seems, whoever the other team has outplays Markstrom.

Lucic is heated

[N-E-B]

I can’t disagree more with people ragging on our goalies this year. I really can’t. The team in front of them, specially our supposed best players, are absolutely not setting them up for success.

[browna]

How about call the trip on Mangipane? Only reason he got the stick up because he was on his knees after being tripped.

You mean our best forward who is also our most competitive and consistent player?

Like seriously some of the best goaltending at the start of the season I’ve seen

It’s too early to judge

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life.

Thing is - you have to go inside Gaudreau’s head and invent “he’s frustrated” to excuse his play.

I don't think both are true, not sure how to be more plain about that.

He's been terrible.

You absolutely loath this team don't you.

I agree he's been less than stellar since his injury. He was fantastic at the start of the year.

But I'm also saying if you're going to give the puck away in the slot 6 feet from the net to someone like Tavares it's pretty silly to blame the goalie.

I know you don’t. But it doesn’t change anything.

I know Mangiapane has trouble staying on his skates, but didn’t be get tripped?

Or he got tripped very clearlly 2 seconds before, crusing right through the crease. No way the Flames can get a 5 on 3.when they've had one pp all game against the vaunted Leafs.

Yup, that’s the kid. The third liner on most teams, and also our best player, who falls down about 20 times a game.

Same kid.

He doesn't look anything like he did prior to the big hit with Pearson.

Prior to the hit, he was in total control of his body and didn't lose the net at all and there were no rebounds.

Since he came back, he's constantly losing his net, over-reacting on plays, and can't control any rebounds.

He probably suffered a concussion and is still feeling the effects of it because his concentration has never come back.

He had some periods where he struggled in Vancouver, but nothing like this.

Way more of a trip than the call against Bennett last night.

Especially in first year of a new contract.

They say Markstrom is super competitive so I’ll bet he comes back better next year.
