[PGT] Flames defeat Florida 5-3

[dammage79]

Can't lose em all and they've been winning more than losing them lately.

Don't know what this team really is or how long the Flames will ride the wave of success even though I'm sure they know making the playoffs is a distant ..... Distant fantasy.


Question is what is really Conroy's intent this season? Do they go full tank at the deadline? Or will he start shaking and baking some action before the Olympic break to ensure a shot at McKenna.

We honestly need to trade Kadri and Andersson like now. We are getting way too hot, and it is going to destroy our rebuild plans.

That is 4 wins in their last 5.

So right now after 26 games they sit with a .404 point percentage and 21 points.

If they play .500 the rest of the way that's 77 points that's probably too good to be bottom 5 (.470 points percentage)

Still not quite mushy middle, but still not the top 5 pick they desperately need

I think they will go over .500 and finish like 10th last. Unless they make some trades right away.

I think you will see them fall off after the 55-60 game mark when teams kick it into a higher gear to make and position themselves for the playoffs.

I think they will make some trade soon luck out on some of the salary dumps and finish 14th last…..team will suck but the meltdown could be entertaining

Nothing we can control, so let the chips fall where they may. Plus, you need games like this once in a while to improve the trade value of some of the players you need to move.

Seriously better trade Kuznetsov too! He's hurting the tank.

Are you this much of a loser in person? lol

Kuznetsov has been a breath of fresh air. He's been playing 20+ minutes for at least the last 5 games now. We really needed one of the young AHL D (Kuz, Bruz, Poirier, Grush) to step up this year and here he is looking like the real deal. 6'4 220lbs and can skate. Good to see.

Yes. I want to build a contender, and will refuse to cheer for more mushy middle. Sorry.

Some players' games are just better made for the big leagues vs the development circuit. I think Kuznetsov is one of those guys. And I think BRZ and Grushnikov are two more of those guys as well.

Huska sucks at a coach. Flames can't defend, can't generate.. Oh wait. Flames are fricken good again!


In all seriousness, that was a gutsy win. Flames woke up after the initial 3 minutes there. That was a nice goal by Kuznetsov.


Also, with respect to Wolf and Cooley. Maybe it is a Halak - Price situation. Remember when Halak seemed better, and then the organization was ripped on for trading Halak and keeping Price? I remember. I think I will let this play out before making certain statements! I would still bet on Wolf at this point, but it is really great that Cooley has been fantastic!


Entertaining game!

Nashville won and the Flames still have the worst points percentage in the league.

We need to trade Wolf Cooley and Parekh too
That way we might be more likely to get a 25% chance of drafting a good player

Is Kuzy that big tatted up mofo?

[Locke]

Great game. I mean, for sheer entertainment value?

After 2 minutes I thought we were in for a ####-kicking.

Pull Coolio and hope for the best. Then they seemingly suddenly remembered how to hockey.
