And Mike Stone. Dont forget Stone.

When shots are going right through him and in our net how can you not say its the difference ?

We have outshot them and Fleury just stood on his head

I agree he's not the reason the Flames are losing.

But the first 2 goals were also pretty iffy. Pretty juicy rebounds if I recall correctly.

But the Flames haven't been great defensively, and the bottom 6 forwards have been pretty suspect.

Also, Vegas deserves some credit. They're looking quite clean.

It’s almost like playing a top team in their own barn early on the year is hard or something.

So much better than Kypreos. That guy was such a bum.

[Enoch Root]

I would bring Talbot out for the 3rd. This game is likely over anyway, and will will give him a bit of action before his first start tomorrow.

And not that it matters, but I would have played Talbot tonight and Rittich against the Sharks, because SJ was the more winnable game.

It it working to about the same efficacy.

Lucix has the 5th most minutes of Calgary forwards tonight.

What?

Really??

I just assumed it was supposed to be awesome.

[Jore]

I’d like to see mangiapane on the power play over Lucic

[Karl]

C'mon Flames. Comeback. All the way back.

Don't let William Carrier be the deciding factor.

Didn't love Stastny's, but it looks like he used Hamonic as a screen well and shot through his legs.

This.
Flames not sharp at all.
Rittich also not sharp. At all.

It's a Sh%Tshow

[zamler]

Don't see Calgary scoring 5+ why am I still watching.

[NewFan]

I'd put Czar in 2nd PP, if he is healthy.

Lucic is good to stand in front of the net and on the boards...Mangiapane can replace one of the other stone hands. Although its not like he has done anything special this season

Beats a library type atmosphere.

To each their own but I thought it was a great experience.

[GullFoss]

I think stone is out tomorrow. How long is jankos leash?

[MillerTime GFG]

It’s early, but I think we’re going to be very average this year.

Me too. You’re in Vegas and it’s a Vegas over the top atmosphere. The fans are decent. And the facility is top notch.
