I did find the article about Neal and his discontinued stick intriguing. I definitely doesnt surprise me that he would struggle after changing sticks hes been using for years.

Even as an amateur player, I know I had a certain stick that was just "it". If I could have 100 of that same stick I would. And others just dont work.

Definitely the Flames need to put Jobu in Neal's stall!

Flames certainly not being opportunistic. Terrible looking power play. Nothing on the two man advantage.

Flames big guns are invisible today; have barely seen Johnny or Monny. Neal is hopeless and completely lacking in confidence. Mango...lost and out of position, drifting around the ice.

WTF? It's like they're asleep (yes...I know, boring Minny hockey - and worse yet, I'm stuck watching the Minny feed, where they spent the first half of the second period talking all about women's hockey in Minnesota...no PbP at all....weird.)

Flames better wake up soon.

Really missing Backlund and Frolik this game. The Flames roster is too thin for this game.



And Eats Bread needs to keep carbo-loading and doing nothing but squats and core exercises to get stronger on his skates.

Right after Neal hit the post, Rowdy started barking like crazy and jumping up and down for no apparent reason- no one at the door, no one else home. I think he was trying to tell me the curse has ended, and Neal is going to score.

Yep, infact he had 2 giveaways that shift. Just a brutal backhand breakout pass attempt to their defenseman. The guy looks done.

Flames are playing a good road game and coming on

Wild are doing what they do...sitting back, diving, and waiting for a break

Tkachuk, Bennett and a bunch of the defensemen look pretty good today.

Other than that, a lot of the Flames are pretty invisible. Others are noticeable for bad reasons.

Minnesota is still the most boring team in the league to watch. They've been like that for over a decade now, never having enough top talent to play a fast game so it's always slow trap hockey. I can't remember the last time I actually enjoyed watching a game against them

If not for their ridiculously good home record every year the Minnesota Wild would never make the playoffs.

This is one of the toughest buildings in which to play in the NHL, and there was a graphic earlier which showed that the second is by far the Wild's best period. For the Flames to be tied after two is a solid position to be in.

Win it in the third.

So, two assists on Giordano's goal?
