[GT] Flames @ Hawks

[ComixZone]

Trading Panarin for Saad was an awful, awful decision.

Zone time has never been an issue. Opposing PKs are content to let the Flames pass around the horn.

Gads, I hate our PP. Hate. Hate. Zero originality. Zero intensity.

[GranteedEV]

Gulutzan needs to make a damn adjustment considering the Hawks are blocking everything. Use a damn Stretch pass to open up the ice or some thing.

Including almost a full 2 minutes of 5 on 3. It's pathetic.

They should just fire Cameron and use the Keenan strategy of don't practice the PP at all.

Yeah, the web player does suck. I have a Chromebook with google play support and the android app works great.

I have the blackout problem with baseball in summer, but find unlocator works way better than VPNs. It just does dns trickery and doesn't affect bandwidth etc. Apple TV (and I think Xbox) allow to re-point the dns on the devices. I bought a $40 router that I put in front of my regular router just for my Roku boxes, and it worked great too.

I just don't get the "bust" talk in regards to Bennett. Hell, he lead the team in points in December and looked like our best player.

He's also looked like our best even strength player in both playoffs he's been a part of, as an 18 and 20 year old. I really don't get how fickle an bipolar our fanbase can be. Patience is a virtue, especially when dealing with young players.

Why? Because for the fourth pick in a pretty good draft for most players picked in the top 10, he only has 18 points this season, and I'm pretty sure leads everyone PIMs by a fair margin at this point. He takes far too many stupid penalties. And despite the teammates he has had, if he is a player that amount to the potential people had on him, he would still find ways to make a impact and get on the scoring sheet in a beneficial manner.

I haven't given up on him completely, but he has been a disappointment after a great first year, and I'm skeptical he'll amount to be a top line, or even top 6 centre at this point. It's about results at this point. I'll believe, when I see it.

Make the next Safeway Score and Win winner PP coach... honestly they couldn’t do any worse.

Unless you were serious with your hyperbole. Which was my point. Plenty of dumber penalties.

Ah, I see. You can pose a question to me in which I answer. But when I ask a legitimate one back it's not to you're liking. It is, in the end, all opinion anyways. 2.9 seconds left in the period with nothing to gain is indeed a very stupid penalty.

I heard prior to the last Blackhawks game the Flames had practiced their power play and only scored 1 goal in 30 minutes.

I mean at what point do the coaches go "okay this clearly isn't working let's try something else."

Never?

Nice breakup by Hamonic.

[Beninho]

Dave Cameron special these games seem to be. Almost like we’ve seen this story play out a ridiculous amount of times this season. Flames won’t change a thing cuz they never do. At least until it already costs them like 20 games

[timbit]

Hamonic with an excellent defensive game tonight.

[greentree]

Backlund having an excellent game.

[GioforPM]

Bing.

[GioforPM]

Other than a fluke goal, Glass is pitching a shutout.

Maybe the Flames can hire this guy. The "flying V" formation probably works a lot better than what we're seeing from Cameron.

Lazar is cottonelle soft

Hockey DB lists him with 151 PIM. Ekblad has 189 PIM.

Flames can’t generate quality scoring chances, and consequently can’t score goals.
