If the flames would stop shooting directly at the goalie they would probably score

I'd call them Grade B chances. He hasn't had to move side to side a lot or deal with deflections.

PP2 producing nice chances by Dube and Mangiapane at least. And then Andersson with one of his patented dangles and then a beautiful pass to Dube.

Andersson, Mangiapane and recently Dube are making me feel hopeful about this team’s future.

But then we get "shoots wide" by the announcers 37 times

That shot by Dube was a lot closer than people are crediting. Between the arm and the side - Petersen had to squeeze hard.

Man, how I wish we had a player like Malkin, or Getzlaf, or MacKinnon... In all seriousness, we have not had a solid, big bona fide 1st line centre in 20 years.

This team has not been very good at 5 on 3's this season.

Complaining that players are shooting right at the goalies crest is one of my favorite fan complaints.

Like come on! The net is right there!

...I hate this team when it uses dump and chase. It is a strategy completely detached from our roster. It’s such a bad fit, and it’s such a damn waste of our talent - and it can’t be fun for the players either. No success, no joy.

It feels like they've been terrible at them for many years.

Maybe I was just spoiled watching MacInnis and Suter on the point blasting away.......it was almost an automatic, it seemed.

Johnny is getting manhandled in the last couple shifts. Buttonhook Johnny is back.

That shift right there is why I hate Stone in the top 4.

Has the jump on Iafallo, just needs to take one stride forward, backs off instead and they spend the shift in the D zone.

Unless Kylington or Valimaki are playing with Brodie, the Gioless era is going to be difficult to watch.
