[GT] GAME 1! Flames vs. Avalanche on CBC!

[Gaudfather]

Smitty looks so good in those red pads!

[Dan02]

Avs going full Oiler with their first line. Never go full Oiler.

[Yamer]

I hope I'm wrong, but Smith's body language is not encouraging.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Flames PP.

Bury them.

I’m not a Cassie fan but I will take her over McGuire. Listening to him earlier was not enjoyable.

So that's "insipid" to me - it's a useless, silly, prepared stat that has nothing to do with the game.

I kind of agree, but can't help but think that if Hrudey said that we'd see a bunch of posts laughing about how silly he can be

Peters is riding the Backlund/MacKinnon matchup hard. Backlunds at 22 mins and Monahan is at 14mins.

[MrMike]

Late PP

[Mr.Coffee]

Monahan just threw a hit!!

He definitley hurt something. Hopefully he isn’t injured.

[direwolf]

Avs trying to target Gaudreau now. Flames PP.

[BigBrodieFan]

Yay- perfect timing.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Backs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gaudfather]

Backlund!!

[Kaine]

Yeah baby!

[Cecil Terwilliger]

And that’s why we call him Johnny Sandpaper.

That’s fair rationale. Much better then last year though when it was a lot of just absolute gibberish. I do think she has improved dramatically

[JurassicTunga12]

Backlund!

[You Need a Thneed]

Backy!
