[PGT] Fleury a beast tonight, Vegas shuts out Flames 2-0

[Kybb79]

I had a feeling this would happen. Oh well on to the next game.

[mikephoen]

I watched parts of a few different games today, and overall really, really boring games. Little flow, lots of whistles. NHL should really reconsider having all thier teams play hungover.

Even remember him being a physical player as he didn’t seem to hit anyone

Ferland dominated in ways beyond "hitting". He separated bodies from pucks because he was fast, strong, and yes, when he did hit it had defensemen rushing their first pass.

Here are what the numbers say

Road Games 5v5:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
459.08 TOI
51.77% CF
51.09% xGF
3.99 Goals For/60 minutes
1.66 Goals Against/60 minutes

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
122.43 TOI
49.86% CF
47.9% xGF
1.82 GF/60
2.57 GA/60

On the other hand, at home, where matchups can be controlled a bit more, Lindholm's superior "soft" skills seem to be an advantage. That or Peters is just a better coach and knows how to take advantage of matchups at home. *shrug*

Home Games 5v5:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
496.75 TOI
53.65% CF
51.2% xGF
2.86 Goals For/60 minutes
2.41 Goals Against/60 minutes

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
116.48 TOI
59.42% CF
62.41% xGF
4.74 GF/60
3.21 GA/60


If only we had both. Ferland for the road and Lindholm for home.

Or maybe throw Bennett up there but I want him moved to center more than I want him moved to that line.

Flames win last 3 against VGK 14-5...

[Inferno099]

Not on topic.....
Mike Commodore and Colin Patterson at the Oval for the Canadian Tire company skate I think.

I’m here for my kid’s speed skating

Harvey the Hound too...

Fleury never started that game. It was Subban the whole time

[kukkudo]

Well that was a snoozefest I actually fell asleep. Onto the next one.

Words like "pathetic", "garbage", "trash" getting thrown around after the Flames dominated at home.

The team is still 1st in the division as of this minute, jeez.

Words can make a person feel powerful, but can be a sign of someone acting immature. Would be nice if some people can learn to take the game in stride in stead of being overly dramatic, reactionary.

You're a trash poster.

Game 82 of last year?

[1_Flames_Fan]

Although he gave up 2 goals, I'd still say Rittitch was very solid today and made some nice saves to keep it close.

[GioforPM]

Vegas played a good defensive game.

[bigrangy]

Stockton is playing the Ducks farm team at 8 if anyone wants some bonus hockey tonight

[Royle9]

Wasn't impressed with our game, wasn't impressed with vegas's game either though to be honest.

Zebra's cost us 1 goal, and a no call with 6 minutes to go via trip on Bennett only to follow up with the call on Neal (dumb play by him) and that killed our comeback chances completely.

Not their fault, but sure didn't help us in ANY way with any calls.

[Dion]

The Oilers lost tonight as well, so it not all that bad.

[CsInMyBlood]

I know its the easy thing to do to pile on James Neal right now but his penalty with 5 mins left in the game was selfish and stupid.

I mean it may be understandable if this was his second year in the NHL, but the guy is one of our most veteran players brought in for his leadership among other things.

When your team is down by two and there are just minutes left you might want to use your brain a little more.

They got a point which sucks but them getting scored on late then losing in OT flashback style was worth it.

Yeah, they aren't fooling anyone. Deep down they're still the Winnipeg Jets.

[tvp2003]

7 goals on Monday, 6 goals on Wednesday, and 0 goals tonight.

I blame coaching. We would have been more successful had we saved some of the goals we scored earlier in the week for tonight. Don’t know what Peters was thinking...

I guess. Though they also gifted Anaheim 2 points to draw within 2 points of the Flames.
