This should be a no brainer. The amount of butt hurt going on up north with the something special folks will be epic plus you will still repeatedly hear about how good Johnny is because he is that good and they will be trying to use that as an excuse!

I know they have turned things around from the brutal start but that's just a dumb statement. They are 29th in the league in goals against!!!

Ya that was a little crazy. I think the Flames D is finally starting to look like it was meant to look now that Brodie and Giordano are looking like they did last year. Giordano was not playing for such a long time so its understandable he took some time to get back to the level he is at now.

The delusion is strong with them

Cause they were so much better when those three were playing.

Basically all it does is apply a pretty ribbon to a box full of poop.

Is that because of the D or because of the goalie, though?

"I am stunned that the power play is not top 10 in the league." - CHED just now

2-0 down. No problem. Feels like 2014/15 all over again.

Johnny Hockey. Brodie. 3 GF, 0 GA on special teams. Ramo solid in net. Honorable mention to Matt Stajan (and his bag -- lol). With they way they're playing, no reason why this team can't finish in the top 3 in the Pacific. Wouldn't have believed it a month ago.

P.S. We should wear these at home for the rest of the season:



... Johnny could break 70 goals by the end of the year.

[DazzlinDino]

Great game, well deserved!! Lets make it 20 straight wins at the Dome!

Whats up with Jiri Hudler. One play he Leaves the zone early; Another play, throws the puck blindly behind his back in the offensive zone instead of passing it to someone. Another play he could have had a break away but instead slows down, looks around until someone else grabs the puck.

I hope there are goblin remarks.

When we were down 3-2, I laughed and thought, it's funny but I'm not even worried about this.

I love that l'il sumbitch!

That was a fun game to watch!

While I agree its pathetic, McLellan sends a pretty big message to his team. Tried the goalie change to start the third, didn't work. Got beaten badly in the third, and basically tells his team he didn't expect them to score one goal in 40 seconds, never mind two.

Maybe he's asked for his release just like Pronger did a decade ago at Christmas.

CHED guys doing lots of Oiler-like stat drops "best PP in the second half of the season last year" "3rd in the league in 2012"

Totally agree. Furthermore, it is not that important how Bennett produces as 19 years old. The important thing is how he produces in 2-3 years.

But Johnny has 14 points in 5 games wearing the thirds. I'm on board!

C'mon Ched. Let's get this party started!

There was 2 minutes left when the Flames scored to go up two with the faceoff at centre ice. You gotta pull it then.

I'm on board with your avatar. Don't turn your back on your avatar, man!!!

[JiriHrdina]

McClellan giving up and not pulling the goalie is yet a new low for the Oil. How can you just give up?

[zukes]

15-8-1 in last 24!

Flames are now in full control of their playoff destiny with more than half the season remaining.

Bennett was awesome.

Johnny and Gio doing what they need to.

Now let's get Hudler going!
