It seems like every Flames in Nashville game since Tkachuk has been fun and chaotic. Could sure do with another of those after the road performances we’ve endured this year.
TBF, they ended up -1 tonight. Mostly on Kadri IMO. But if they get their offence going, the benefits are greater than the goals against.
They tend to get no goaltending results when they play together.
In their three seasons together as Flames they've played 800 minutes together at 5v5, have 53.4% xGF, but only 48.7% GF (38-40) due to a .890 5v5 save percentage which is pretty bad.
Even these last 5 games, they have given up 4 goals against on 2 xGA because of a .818 save percentage when on the ice together.
Some of it is they do tend to give up a higher quality of chance together, but some of it has just been bad luck / poor goaltending when on the ice together

A few skill guys changed their game as they got older. Jagr, Thornton somewhat.
I agree with most of your posts but Comparing Huberdeau to Thornton or Jagr is kinda silly. Those two changed their game because they were in their late 30s and had to adapt to stay in the league, and they were smart enough players to do so. Not because they were 30. At 30, those players were still dominant top ten type players. I don’t know what changed Huberdeau’s game but it wasn’t aging. Probably comfort and security in the long term deal at 10.5/year for 8 years.

Thornton changed his game pretty early on in his 30s, so did Jagr. As for your reasoning on Huberdeau's decline, that's sheer guesswork based on zero evidence. I'd guess it has more to do with him finally figuring out what his linemates could and couldn't do.

Or maybe Huberdeau was never a star or at least at their level
Just a guy that put up a lot of points for a couple seasons and fell back to earth. He is not capable of carry the team like the other two.

If we could at least get two goals tonight, that will be okay with me.
Quote:
More than 1 goal is basically a win
Quote:
hopefully the boos are loud and frequent
Quote:
Sigh.. I don't know what the point is.. but I'll be watching.
Quote:
Not sure why no one is calling us the Predaturds yet. It seems very appropriate
Quote:
“Hey you suck” must REALLY hurt right now
Quote:
I hope nobody was expecting to get a free frosty anytime soon
Quote:
1 key to the game: Get your #### together
Quote:
Ok boys. I think we have a good chance in this one. I'm wearing my bad luck Preds hat. It got its reputation bc we lost every game that I was wearing it for a while last season. Been in the closet collecting dust until now, but I'm willing to try anything to get things moving at this point. My hat will be the difference maker for sure.
Naz gets some karma back
Quote:
You hardly tap a goalie, interference. A guy literally shoved into his goalie isn’t interference? Okay.
Quote:
Schenn doing an excellent job of being a big, physical, net-clearing defenseman......
Quote:
Absolute masterclass from Schenn tonight
Quote:
Wtf was josi even doing on that backcheck? Lookin real lost
Quote:
Well that happens. Geez.
Quote:
Kadri hat trick incoming.
I hate that greasy ####er
Quote:
This team is so bad lol how do you let Kadri just waltz his way ALL ALONE in on net when you had numbers back? Insane lack of game smarts.man
Quote:
Kadri literally skated into one of our guys earlier in the game and then started throwing his hands up like he was being held. Such a rat move.
Quote:
Aaaaaaaaannnnnnnddddddd here we go
Quote:
Second game in a row we score on ourselves, let’s go perds baby
Quote:
REVIEW THAT ####
Quote:
Perds moment
Rooney ties the game again
Quote:
We've achieved our 2 goal limit in the 1st??
Can we actually score more?
Quote:
Huge defense mistake...
Quote:
Why do I have this weird ####ed up feeling that the preds always seems to poorly time their shift changes aside from all the bench minors they've taken.
Quote:
MOAR GOALS
Quote:
How do our opponents always have double out shots? Shoot the puck?
Quote:
We are legitimately gonna get the #1 pick
Quote:
I literally feel like we have to work so hard to get goals and other teams just shoots the puck and see what happens and it goes in. So frustrating.
Quote:
We crap on Stammer and Marsh a lot, but....Skjei is our worst signing this offseason, right?
We've known Schenn is terrible, that's not new
Quote:
Tough game for Pars so far, he can't really afford it at this point...
Quote:
Everyone wants to tap out.
Fortunately, we already got rid of F'ing Fabbro.
Pachal ties the game, yet again
Quote:
It’s gonna be one of those games…
Quote:
Schenn, you're supposed to block the opposing goalie's view, not your own goalie's.
Quote:
luke schenn has either puck watched or screened saros on the last three ####ing goals. so glad we waived fabbro to play this bum every goddamn night
Quote:
Luke Schenn is not a real NHLer
Quote:
He really is a useless pylon unless he's actively hitting someone.
Quote:
He’s done that #### ever since he’s been here, makes my blood boil
Quote:
It feels like we aren’t allowed to have nice things
Quote:
All 3 goals allowed have been by the kid line. Guess that’s part of playing them.
Quote:
Like I've been saying fellas were looking for 4
Quote:
As long as we are the last goal !!!!
Huberdeau takes the lead
Quote:
Mandatory dumb penalty of the game
Quote:
Ref called a penalty for being told he's ####? It's not like Janky was lying.
Quote:
Janko got a penalty cause he was talking ####? Stupid ####ing call
Quote:
Jankowski making a case to be traded
Quote:
Well, at least we broke the two goal limit.
Quote:
This dumpsters on fiiiiirrrrre
Quote:
Lmaoooooo
Quote:
Gross and bad
Quote:
Wouldn't be surprised to see the coach getting fired if the Preds lose tonight.. I feel like there's a lot hinging on this game and that something has to be done in the event of a loss (assuming they intend on wanting to make something out of this season as opposed to going full rebuild and burn it to the ground mode at the deadline).
Quote:
Having to watch Sissons, McCarron and Smith should be a crime against humanity
Quote:
Best effort in a long time?
8th loss sucks.
But, on the brite side. The effort was visible.
Quote:
Idgaf that they scored on the PP. I refuse to blame Janky for that horrendous call. Especially considering what they've let go the opposite way.
Quote:
These guys f***ing suck.
Quote:
Flames have not scored more than 3 goals in a game since OCTOBER 13
So of course they have 4 in 2 periods tonight
Fateful Eight
Quote:
We trail by one and have exactly 4 shots this period. Holy f***balls
Quote:
How many in a row? 8?
Quote:
That’s 8
Thank you Preds may I have another. We shoot, we hit the post, we suck.
Quote:
We did not EN, thank you.
..
Play 30 seconds
Quote:
Wasn’t a completely horrible game for once but man I sure would like to win some!!
Quote:
I am just stunned at how content Barry seems to be with this ####show. He has forgotten the face of his father
Quote:
Jesus Christ
Finally the crowd evaluating the product correctly
You know when I didnt mind losing streaks? When we had certified tough guys that would at least give us a physical show
Quote:
Willy and Mase talking about what great pressure we had at the end :facepalm:
We got smoked, again. Shouldn't have been as close as it was, pitiful 2nd and 3rd.
I will say - Stamkos, Marsh, Forsberg, etc played a lot better than the young guys tonight. As they should, but that hasn't always been the case this year.
Thanks Perds
Quote:
1 more goal by Nashville and that would put it out of reach for the Flames talent level.
Quote:
Flames without outstanding goalies are just a team of turds.
Quote:
True. Finally the flames get an opponent on their level.
Quote:
Trashville
Quote:
Lucky ass flames.
Quote:
Trotz should be fired. Nashville wasn’t great but they’re an embarrassment this season.
Quote:
wow they called something?
what a time to not dick around on this pp and get a cushion.
