I know the Flames were weak at home, but I guess I forgot that it was partially due to Smith.

Yeah, the numbers were bad. I have seen them posted before and Smith hovered pretty close to 0.900 SP last year at the Saddledome.

*EDIT*
Found them:
14-15-3 2.97 GAA 0.901 SP

Just like last Saturday, tonight's game will be flooded on all the channels as City and Sportsnet One will also be showing the Flames-Avalanche in its entirety along with the CBC. After the Astros-Red Sox game ends, Sportsnet and SN360 will join the hockey game in progress.

Hoping for a Hathawin!

I’m assuming we get the pleasure of Randorf again.

Not a chance you get a second for Frolik, but he should be dumpable. Not at all like Brouwer, imo.

Flash Walken · 10-13-2018, 03:19 PM

It makes all the difference to actually have guys capable of playing ready to sub in.

Yes, just like last Saturday, it is Dave Randorf with Louie DeBrusk and Scott Oake.

Uggh, you're probably right.

I have a bad feeling about this one. MacKinnon is red hot and the Avs seeem to be feeling it at the moment.

I’m feeling pretty optimistic about all things Flames.

Outside of the season opener, it’s been entertaining fun hockey and the team is showing a lot of effort. If Rittich can go toe to toe with the Avs goaltender, I like our chances.

Yep, I'm feeling like even if the goalie ####s the bed the flames should have the horses to still keep it competitive

At the time Gio’s contract was fresh and Johnny was relatively unproven. If we did it again today he’d be making 8 mil plus. And when Tkachuk re-signs it will be over 7 million I’ll bet any money.

In regards to Gaudreau being ‘unproven’, and using that as evidence that his contract will be lower than Tkachuk’s. Johnny had 64 and 78 point seasons, 9 points in 11 games in playoffs.

Tkachuk has had 48 and 49 point seasons.

Yes he’s younger. Yes he’s a heck of a player. But to say that Gaudreau was unproven and insinuating Tkachuk is proven, therefore he’s going to make more money, makes zero logical sense.

It’s a good point about ‘cap inflation’ though. That will effect things, not sure how much. I just can’t see Tkachuk coming in higher than Gio and Gaudreau, aside from that point.

Will be interesting to see how he manages to work Elias Pettersson into the broadcast at each whistle though!

I think the team should be actively shopping him IMO. He hasn't been good for over a season now. I know he's in shape and all but he looks to me like he's lost a step and has declined offensively. Looks like 30+ year old Matt Stajan to me.

Canucks game should finish just before ours starts so they'll have today's highlight clip to cut to repeatedly.

I hope you guys are right and I’m just being a wet blanket. Probably a bit of PTSD from the Gulutzan era

For the record. I don't think there is a Gio cap or a Johnny cap. I think that Treliving is preaching a philosophy of building a competitive team for years, and that involves pay cuts, from pretty much everyone. The Flames high end talent are all under paid. Tkachuk could still come in over 7 and have it be a pretty significant discount.

Remember that Treliving has shown willingness to out wait RFAs, so unless Chuckys side is being reasonable, I can't see why his negotiations would go any differently.

Gaudreau had significantly less leverage, he could not sign an offer sheet so his only option was to sign in Calgary. Tkachuk will not have that problem.
