I think you haven't seen much of Tkachuk playing in the OHL. He was tremendous on the right side all the time working on that size of the zone. He's a very intelligent player.

Frankly, I missed tonight's game. You'll have to tell me.



You would think that just about any forward would find a degree of success playing with Gaudreau and Monahan, too. Sometimes the huge problems are not the ones anybody could foresee.
Guy, I hate to break it to you, but the Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik line was broken up tonight. From the start of the game.

I was watching the Best of... plays before the game started and I thought - no Flames in this.
Then Monahan!

Maybe, but this is the NHL. He also had how many points in the OHL?

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's much harder than you are making it out to be.

Fell a bit behind at the end, just finished. K, that was a pretty sick goal to end the skid on

Tough crowd. He was screened twice and had to play deep since there were 6 Sens on the ice, if he came out to challenge he would have let the other side of the net wide open where the Sens outnumbered the Flames. He's let in some stinkers this year, but he was solid tonight and that wasn't a bad goal. If he wasn't screened I'd agree, but he was.

I didn't make it out to be anything... I said "try" it. As in, if it was a big problem, lines can be shuffled quickly.

Some players are ineffective on their off wing. Tkachuk is not. He's very good on the right side. He's also big, strong, mature, and as mentioned, very intelligent.

Surprised Monahan's goal isn't generating more chatter in here. That was seriously crazy to pull that off right at the goal mouth under pressure. That is a pretty incredible goal.

That Monahan goal was filthy. Will be on the highlight reels for a while.

What exactly is Brouwer paid to do? Didn't notice him at all, until he got his shift in OT.

If it's not Austin Mathews or Connor McDavid then it won't be on the highlight reels for a while.

I said I missed the game. Do you want a stick to beat me with, or does this require taking me out back with a shotgun?

Since I was responding to someone who was suggesting that Tkachuk should be taken off of Backlund's line, I assumed that it had not actually happened yet. People don't normally talk about actual ongoing events as if they were hypothetical.
