[PGT] Flames shutout Wild 1-0

[FBI]

We actually played defense?? It's a miracle!

I have to admit I kinda liked Hamilton with Gio, thought Hamilton played well.

I also liked the Ferland-Hathaway line, causing lots of havoc.

[djsFlames]

Hamilton looks good with Giordano. I think they compliment each other.

Also felt much better with Stajan centering Bennett. Sam isn't ready.

[Huntingwhale]

Johnson is now my favorite Flame. What a game by him!!

Hopefully the team can carry the momentum for tomorrow.

[MisterJoji]

Flames AV guy should make a montage of all the slashes Johnny takes and send that to whoever the dillhole in charge of NHL officiating is.

Sam is ready and has been for a while. Bennett brower and tkachuk play well together.

Pregame

On paper, easy win. How will Calgary handle Parise on 3rd line?

Wait, did Kiprusoff retire?

Yeah, in 2012-13.

we've let too many games slip away to middle of the pack teams. we need 2 points. reminder 2 points now are just as valuable as 2 points in march / april!

It's time to





Extinguish the Flames

Johnny on the PP

Dumba.
About that play.
If you’re gna rush it up the ice, at least gain the zone.
Thanks.

Just had another stupid play failing to hold the zone. He pisses me off sometimes.

No surprise there. Wild can't convert on a breakaway but the other team can...

Gaudreau ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Mighty Ducks at least did the Flying V

The Mortician

Wild feed just showed someone on the Flames bench that wasn't Gulutzan... But had his name up.


Edit: Dave Cameron, Flames Assistant Coach, looks like a mortician.

You get a penalty!

Parade to the box!

And you get a penalty!

makeup call? lol

Holy makeup call.


Suter with the veteran benefit.

Everybody gets a penalty!!

Shooting ourselves in the foot with all these penalties.

kinda thought Haulass drew a penalty, only for us to get a penalty.

WTF is with these zebras....

Penalty: Wild
Too many men on the ice in the box

The Refs lost the handle
of this game about 6 mins ago. Now, this game is garbage game.

Am I watching hockey? What am I watching?

Go in already, you stupid puck

Forcefields

This game feels like playing Mortal Kombat and trying a bunch of complicated combos, but then your friend just Hi-punches you to death

4-on-1 and we hit the post?
Oh, I see how this is going to go…

So many chances so far. Gotta get one of these.

Post is having a great game for Calgary.

Parise.

Can we just get one to go in?! Seriously!!!

Dumba attacks Hathaway from behind

Dumba... That wasn't necessary.

DUMBA55

Stop. Taking. ****ing. Penalties.


My God.

We cannot lose!!!!

[Toonage]

^ Lol @ Cameron looking like a mortician

[Machiavelli]

Just watched this on with a lot of FF...team defense was pretty good

I called the shutout early in the second, haha

Gotta roll with Johnson now

Nah, they looked full marks for this win. Solid road game, played hard right to the end.

[djsFlames]

PK has been better.

Still need to improve the PP (Johnny's singlehanded effort wasn't a result of team execution). And overall just need more finish. One goal won't be enough next time.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

The Chad

Nothing to shoot at.

As good as a save

[flamesrule14]

Good win for the boys. Need to build on this and take this into tomorrow's game. Really hope Johnny is okay. Chiasson on the first PP continues to kill me though.

I really like Hathaway. Has speed and is tenacious on the forecheck and finishes every hit. Agitates too which is nice to see. Thought that line with Ferland was real solid.

Thought Hamilton had one of his better games. Him and Gio seemed to work pretty well. Johnson was outstanding. Have to wonder if they go with him for a bit? I would defintely think about it. Elliot hasn't been bad lately, but riding Johnson may be the way to go right now.

[DeluxeMoustache]

I like Hathaway with Ferly. They can feed off each other.

On the first there was actually plenty to shoot at. Not the second though.

The Flames had their own post though, and plenty of close in chances.

[taxbuster]

I actually enjoyed that game! A little boring in a way, but great to see the grit and the hustle. They kept moving, kept hitting and played a good "cloggy" game - perfect style to stymie the Wild.

Hated the chops on Johnny; the refs just seem to ignore them.

Chad played a great game - I like his manner. He's calm and collected, even when under great stress. Elliott always looks a bit .... more scared/nervous? He jumps around at times, something Johnson doesn't do. He's smoother and more relaxed in net. Would like to see him start a bunch of games in a row to see how he handles it.

Yeah.

Goalie in joke.

Any time I play and somebody tells me I am lucky because they hit a post or bar, I tell them it's all I gave them.

Hrudey needs to do a piece on HNIC about all the slashes that Johnny has been taking since the beginning of the season. People need to be made aware and know that its ridiculous. And the team needs to step up and do something. He's our star player, as bad as we are now we could be worse if he is injured for any length of time. Someone tweet Hrudey and get him on this!
