Should be a good game, Flames rested (too rested maybe) and Leafs finding some stride here. I think the Flames are better, but I'm not sure how fair of a demonstration today's game is. Schedule is so weird.

But I feel vastly different going into every game this year, I feel like the top 4 D is very good, and the goaltending will be there, and the re-slotting of the forwards is just a huge improvement. Backlund at 3C makes him dominant, Monahan at 2C makes him dominant, and hopefully Lindy can just keep the other team's top line at bay, and I think he can.

McDavid made Brodie his bitch with regularity.

Ya the NHL schedule makers didn’t have any challenges this year.

Afternoon game, 5 day break, against a returning player for the first time

Automatic loss

I’ll be in the PGT with my hot take ready to go though

[Enoch Root]

being postponed didn't seem to bother Dallas, I don't accept 5 days off as an excuse

Jesus, some of these opinions are insufferable

McDavid made Morgan Reilly look like a fool. That is the highlight you are looking for

Listening to some of the idiotic takes in this thread, you would think Brodie was a minus 100 player rather than they guy that Gio trusted and played so well with that he ended up being a Norris winner

Easy game for them to get up for. 4 point game against one of the teams the Flames will be battling for playoff positioning.

He's probably not playing.

This activation has happened several times now.

Also no ill will towards Brodie. Liked him when he was here and I thought he was a great Flame. You could make a highlight (lowlight)package of gaffs for every Dman in the NHL. There was more good than bad with him and I am good with that. Now, if he gets a bit of the yips coming back to Calgary, I am fine with that. He can find his game when the Leafs play the Oilers and Canucks 5 time after our pair of games.

We usually go into the tank coming off our five day breaks.

Isn’t every game a four point game?

I read that as Matthews is indeed warming up.

[dino7c]

My god some of you are sensitive about a guy who plays a kids game for millions of dollars getting ribbed a bit

I hope we see 2019 playoffs Brodie today, would be advantageous for a Flames win

Dube is not warming up, while Matthews is.
