Don't break your hands patting your self on the back. Nobody cares. Nobody was thinking we were a .800 point percentage team.
But the Flames were an .800 team. On Oct 13th.

I honestly don't even really care that we're losing. I get annoyed with goals, but it's an instinctual reaction and then it's gone pretty quickly.

I am still annoyed that they bench one of the important pieces going forward because now they want him to be Brendan Gallagher or something? Do they want Sven going around pestering people and then skating behind refs too?

So, are we starting to see that Ramo just isn't good or is there still some optimism here?

Yeah, some guys just... turn it on when they get to the show, and play much better up there. It's kinda bizarre, actually. Dillon isn't the first one. Dude looks like a seasoned vet out there.

I'm not one for making excuses usually, but:

The ice looks terrible. Puck is bouncing everywhere.

AND

The Stars are clutching & grabbing, hooking, pulling & look downright dirty out there. The ref is doing nothing. Wideman was hit hard, right on the numbers in the 2nd period & took ages to get up.

That is all. I predict a Baertschi natural hat trick... Oh ####balls.

One game, but Glencross all season has shown absolutely zero interest in being apart of this team. He needs to see the pressbox, or another jersey.

I like a lot about this team and how they are playing. But Ramo really should have no future on this team. Just doesn't seem to track the puck very well...

Oh come on now... I was against Sven being scratched as much as the next guy but to suggest that this would be any better with him in the lineup? The team as a whole has been bad tonight, one player would not have made a difference.

Still, I'd love to see them make a game of it in the third, lets keep that "never quit" attitude going.

You can't blame him for any of the goals.

Andrew Shaw is another. A better Nhler than minor league pro. Mike Green also comes to mind. And Bill Bumface.

Well only one guy can make that decision and he hasn't agreed with you so it get's pretty old seeing posters bring this up in every thread.

why didn't anyone make a OOT thread! I just have to say: Rask is the best goaltender out there at the moment, what a game, yet again.. Sharks outshot the Bruins 39-17, Boston won 2-1, made the winning goal 0.8 seconds before the end of the 3rd period. What a game.

No, he really doesn't.

Debatable. But I also can't credit him for any big saves. He has only shown himself to be serviceable, but at that... barely. He has the skill to make the occasional cool save, but his clutch ability is nil. He doesn't make that big save you need to bail the D out and shift momentum.

I would LOVE to eat crow on this.

Oh please you do this ALL the time. You stating that we had raised expectations was horse crap like you know what our expectations are. Typical "I know more than anyone" post from you.

Flames have what I would call very, very average goaltending. Can win a game if you score 3+ goals but isn't going to steal many if any games.

I pop in and out, but could have assumed that bashing Glencross had become a pretty popular trend around here. But man, has he ever earned it.
