Got to say the best part of this season has seen the injection of youth by Conroy. Not sure that would have been the case under Treliving. Refreshing to see the team stick to their plan and promote from the farm rather than filling holes with old, expensive vets.
Criticism noted, and I'm sorry if my remarks about Gilbert were over the line.
I did note at the time that they got the stretcher ready for him, but didn't need to use it. I believe he'll be fine, and I'm certain he's going through the concussion protocol right now; and rightly so. But my alter ego got carried away with the idea of using a dead player as a form of cap circumvention… and here we are.
Best wishes to Gilbert, and apologies to all.

agree about the injection of youth but isn't that more due to Huska as opposed to Sutter? if Sutter is still here i doubt we see any of these guys.
but i digress - Flames Win!!!!!

Brunos quotes today make it seem like Glass isn't 100% and they want to get him fully healthy before mixing him back in.

Looks like Barrie has been given the permanent spot in the press box. I'm cool with that.

day to day, upper body for the past four games ... tonight looking like five in a row.

Well ####, that one did.

What an absolute dog #### penalty kill that was
Quote:
And dumb #### penalties leading to goals. Nice.
Quote:
74 is terrible.
Quote:
our defense is flopping all over the ice in front of the neat there and THAT LAST SEQUENCE WAS INSANE WHAT THE HECK
Quote:
How about staying out of the damn box tonight, boys?
Quote:
What the hell did I just witness? That was rough.
Quote:
That was one pathetic kill. Good effort in front of the net, but they’ve got to start taking that extra stride and get the puck out.

2-0, right where we want them!

Are the perds officially back now?
Quote:
Damn, perding hard tonight.
Quote:
Jesus ####ing Christ man. We got that Saros tonight
Quote:
perds gonna perd.
Quote:
Don't we usually wait until the 3rd period to start perding?
Quote:
Our Flames games are always crazy
Quote:
I don’t mind being a .500 team, sure keeps things very very entertaining. I’m loving this 1st period offense we seem to consistently have. Will be nice for someone else to blow a 2-0 for a change too!
Quote:
Effing pull saros and send his ass packin
Quote:
It took me longer to get to the arena from the parking lot than it took the Preds to go down 2-0.
Oh thanks FF9. Gonna be one of those games.
Quote:
Forsberg gonna have to get to 25 tonight.
Kadri walks right in

This is a defensive masterclass

My god

So we’re just going to be awful tonight
Quote:
I turn the game on, preds go down 2-0. I leave the room it’s 2-1. Come back and sit down, it’s 3-1. I’m out, good luck!
Quote:
Pull saros!!!
Quote:
Why is he still in the gane
Quote:
They should give out aspirin for every game. I don’t think my heart will make it otherwise.
Quote:
What a deflating start to the game. Hopefully they'll wake the #### up and start playing.
Quote:
Wow ####ing wow... please don't suck
Quote:
that good feeling i had at the start of the game? it’s nausea now lol
Quote:
3 goals on 9 shots is bull####!
“Yeeeeep That’s a Dive”

OF ALL THE EMBELLISHMENT CALLS THEY COULDVE MADE THIS SEASON…
Quote:
eat my shorts, refs.
Quote:
Evangelista penalized for being too much smaller than Hanifin
Quote:
clownworld refs
Quote:
No hope in the league ever getting embellishment penalties right, pitiful call
Quote:
Garbage refs (they are garbage men during the day)
Quote:
Of all the real embellishment in the game that’s not called, they call that…
Quote:
Of all the things that could have been called for embellishment, that was not one of them. TERRIBLE call.
Quote:
You NEVER see embellishment and Luke gets called for that??? Make it make sense
Quote:
Reffing this season has been absolutely #### tier across the league. Gotta wonder what the training process was over break. Improv classes?
Quote:
when Saros is on, he’s on. But the other nights, sheesh.
Nothing from what we have seen from Saros takes us to contender. he will win us a game or 2 here but also lose a game or 2. we should have been shopping him over the summer if the price was right. this summer should be the same.
Quote:
At the beginning of the game, pick one of the 2 teams and #### them.
Rasmus with a sweet backhand
Quote:
Has anybody tried unplugging Saros and then plugging him back in?
Quote:
Good lord. I know backhanders are hard to read, but come on Juice. He’s had a rough go at it several points this year. Then again, we give up way too many ####ing rush chances
Quote:
gawd ####ing dammit
Quote:
Ugh.
Juuse, come on.
Quote:
4 goals 20 shots Flames
Nice
Quote:
Coach had absolutely zero problem pressboxing or benching any other player. Saros lets in 4 questionable goals within 12 shots and continues to parade him out there. Wonder what the thought here is. Juice never seems to get the hook till they hang 5 on him and the game is far out hand
Quote:
Dude #### this
Quote:
Every one of those goals were stoppable
Quote:
Read the room Brunette, sheesh.
Quote:
Lankinen coming out for period 2
Quote:
####ing trash defending. How can you win a game with defending like this.
Quote:
What the hell is happening… this defense is majorly lacking. Come on Preds!!!
Quote:
Flames able to get right to the net every time they get the puck
Quote:
Horrific defense in the 1st period. Saros let in a softie but the other 3 falls entirely to defense not doing their job and keeping guys out of the slot, or God forbid 3 feet from the front of the net.
Quote:
Having flashbacks of the Van and Carolina 5 - 2 losses in December.

The Perds have turned the arena vibe into a convalescent home.
Quote:
I'm done!! Ridiculous that he is still in net after that garbage!!
In the Dying Seconds AGAIN?!
Quote:
Wow preds.. in the final seconds you let them score again.. this is a trash game. Good night all
Quote:
Last ####ing second again man, this defense is rough
Quote:
Good lord, we just love giving up goals in the last minute of a period.
Quote:
Somebody should yell, "Hey Paul! How much time is left!?" at 19:00 in the third.
Quote:
What in the wide wide world of sports is going on here?
Quote:
Schenn, you ####ing muppet
Quote:
Yeah so getting caught up with the highlights I got two things:
1. Josi sucks
2. Saros is god awful.
Quote:
They keep talking about the high number of rush attempts against without talking about the fact the team needs to push because of the first two soft ass goals given up quickly by Saros. That's when the unstructured play started.
Quote:
We forgot our hockey brains again.
Quote:
The defense could use some patching to fill in those holes we keep leaving
Quote:
If only we had 6 Josi’s who were willing to take half of what he’s getting paid right now life would be good
Quote:
Jesus, glad I didn’t go tonight. I can watch this travesty from the warmth of my couch.
Thanks Kevin
Quote:
KEVIN! NO!
Quote:
That was practically an empty net goal.
Quote:
Oh for #### SAKE!
Quote:
Noice.
Quote:
What the #### hahaha
Quote:
What the actual ####
Quote:
That’s some bull####.
Quote:
Sometimes we suck really bad
Quote:
Man do we can give up some awful, awful goals or what??? Jeez
Quote:
Sweet just walked in to the house in the Boro to see that 6th goal.
Scheduled No Good Loss
Quote:
Predators making Calgary look like a bunch of mcdavids again.
Quote:
Teams really don't take them seriously.
Quote:
Every win for Calgary brings them that much further away from drafting Macklin Celebrini. I don't mind it.
Quote:
Anyone else notice how there's not a peep about the Oilers on the mains but when we were losing basically every second thread was Oilers.
Quote:
"There's already an Oiler thread for successes!"
Quote:
Just browsing CP for fun (bored) and apparantly they think their Allstar representative this year should be...... BLAKE COLEMAN What a crappy talentless franchise.

That's a funny shot to take at the Flames. Coincidentally, that bum Coleman had a goal, an assist and was +3 on the night.

Blake Coleman would be 4th in 5v5 points (20) behind only McDavid (28), Draisatil (22), and Hyman (24) and has more than All star snub RNH.
His 5 short handed points would also lead the Oilers, and he has been on the ice for more Short Handed goals for (6) than PP goals against (5).
Blake Coleman would also lead the Oilers in plus / minus.
Oilers fans make me laugh because they think their entire top PP unit deserve to be all stars and are amazing to be over a point per game, when really they are just factors of being power play merchants that get to play with McDavid and Draisaitl.

Other than most of the 3rd against Minnesota the Flames have played great the last two games.
Sucks about Gilbert. He’s been getting better. Guessing Oesterle slots back in. Hopefully he can step up from what he’s been doing.
Should be a very interesting next couple of months. Lots of trade rumours. Kylington back practicing. Could be a very different lineup soon. Hopefully they can stay competitive.
My head wants them to lose but man, my heart just feels so much better when they win. I can’t cheer for losses, even though I know logically it’s not a bad thing.

Lol I loved that post, that mentality of focusing on All Stars and point production is why the Oilers are never going to even sniff a Cup with McDavid.
They can look back at McDavids tenure with them and be happy with annual All Star game and skill competition performances if they want.
