[GT] Game 3 Flames @ Stars

[direwolf]

Glad we finally scored a goal. That period was starting to look pretty bleak after Dallas opened the scoring, but full marks to the Flames for pushing back during the 2nd half of the period. Now that we're tied, Dallas will be forced to open things up a little bit, which should favor the Flames.

It would be nice to get a good long stretch of 5 on 5 going so we can get back on the forecheck and start rolling lines. All these penalties and 4 on 4 time has completely ruined the flow of the game.

Really this is just sad that the Flames 30+ years of playoff nothingness is going to continue

Look at what Mangiapane got a penalty for, pure make up call.

Do I think the league would rather have a Dallas/LA series in the second round? Yes. Yes I do.

It’s Sutter’s job to tell him

He is playing like a 4th line goon, not a 100 point scorer

No. Just needs a line shake up. That lines been wonky for a while. It's not just Toffoli

I hope it’s the last.

Pretty reasonable panel talk on that goal in the end. Surprised.

Good chances for gaudreau early but he needs to turn chances into goals if he wants to get paaaaid

Instead of breaking his knuckles on a scrub Tkachuk should probably save his hands for scoring. Total ghost so far

Fire toffoli into the sun, I don’t know how the Flames keep finding dud after dud trying to fill the RW hole

You must be watching a different game than me. I thought Dallas bullied the #### out of us that period and we played scared and timid.

Yes. That is why I said that before the series started. They get away with more crap than anyone.

I thought for sure Kelly would complain but would think it was good if it was the Oilers.

[Moneyhands23]

I think a line change may be good if only for a period

[CliffFletcher]

Why is 20 goal Tyler Toffoli catching so much more flak around here than 35 goal Andrew Mangiapane?

You're gross.

I like my ladies that look like human beings, not fembots constructed in a plastic surgery lab. Booourns.

It’s Toffoli. Can’t skate, can’t handle the puck, can’t pass and now can’t even shoot the damn puck

They tried that and Toffoli was no good on the top line. If they were to shuffle I would put Mangi up on the top line and put Toffoli and Tkachuk on the same line.

That whole 2nd line deserves flack. They need to step it up.

[browna]

Physical play lead to the goal. Great work earlier in the shift by Lucic and Lewis and Zadorov to keep possession.

Just stop with these 4 on 4s, I think the Flames have had more in the last 2 games then they have all season. It screws up the lines. Dallas wants nothing to,do with them either.

[Royle9]

Need a number of bodies to step up here, no line has been good
