Can't believe sportsclubstats still has Edm as having about a 10 percent better chance of making the playoffs than us even though we got two games on them now while tied. Schedule must figure into their figures pretty big. Alsofind it hard to believe we're only at 25 percent while holding a spot and games in hand. Not saying I distrust the math, just wondering where the difference is coming from.
It's so weird how whenever Johnny has jumped on the ice in 3 on 3 OT and gained possession, I've jokingly said "here's the game, right now" out loud and every time it HAS in fact been game over right there. Tonight I just said it almost matter of factly, knowing that we indeed are the kings of OT, and Johnny just gets it done.
Also first game this season won on the back of the goaltender. Great game, Ramo. Some heady plays, including jumping out of the way of that weird shot into the crease from the sharp angle. It was really nice to see how calm and collected he was despite everyone half-assing it on defence and just watching Nashville cycle.
Lots of holes to patch still, but if we can keep finding ways to win while we figure it out then that's just fine with me.
Honestly I didn't know the Flames had won 5 straight games.

Feels like a must win game tonight
have to get points against teams in the bottom of the conference. Especially at home.

please don't disappoint preds
Wow, they suck

I am liking that the flames have only one shot on goal and that's from the blue line, no traffic in front.
Quote:
Flames can't get any possession at all. Totally dominating.
Quote:
The Flames PP is a huge joke
My god it is terrible. Looked like a connect the dot for a 5 point star. And no one was moving for a solid minute and a half of it.
Quote:
Calgary's only had 11 shots on goal in 2 periods
Bennett vs the Goal Review Committee

That is REALLY close.

gonna get hosed

Going to be a goal because the Preds
Quote:
Wow, okay.
I think I’d be pretty mad if I were a flames fan… I feel like I saw white ice, but hey – I’ll take it.
No, we suck

been a while since we’ve had a SOG

I would like to see us make Ramo sweat like they are making Pekka sweat…
Quote:
Disgusting
Started with the stupid drop pass by Jarny in the offensive zone.
Quote:
The more I watch the Preds the more I think it's our defense that might need more work than our offense. Poor defense is what lead to Calgary's goal. Neal didn't cover a man or his man.

Nashville is a fancy stats darling
And stats don’t mean **** as the Ls keep coming.
Everybody sucks

Calgary:
Horrible goaltending, terrible possession #’s, terrible special teams.
…and Nashville doesn’t even pose any kind of threat at all, smh
Really bad at OT + Johnny Hockey =

Preds have to score in these 3 minutes of reg time...

Game over...
Calgary wins in OT

I hate hockey

0 for 5 in OT?
If memory serves. I has a sad.

We're never going to win in mother****ing OT.
Ha! Told you so!
Quote:
All the crap I took for saying the team will struggle 3 on 3 well. Who looks foolish now.
Unsustainable
Quote:
Calgary has won 6 in a row now too.. Damn.
Quote:
All you can hope is that CGY misses out on a playoff spot because of the lack of regulation wins.
Quote:
lol...this acutally count as a regulation win
the Flames will be lucky to win 10 non-OT games this season and make the playoffs
Quote:
What?! I actually didn't know that.
Johnnyphobia
Quote:
I really hope Gaudreau parlays all these overtime points into an 8+ million contract. His point totals might be inflated by 15-20 points by the end of the year because of OT.
Quote:
I'm with that poster above. I hope Johnny pads his stats nicely and milks an extra eight million out of them. I hope they give monohan close to 7 as well...

I was watching the Nashville feed and didn't have a good look at the penalty shot infraction but it looked rather weak to me. I saw a lot more infractions on Stajans break than that one which resulted in no call.
When will we have cameras in the cross bar? FFS I could rig up a goalie net with multipul cameras and wireless review inside of two days for less than 500 bucks. Surely the league could address this already. Also when looking at that over head and the crossbar appears five inches in front of the goal line one should be able to assume that the sliver of white beside the puck from that perspective means that it is in.
Great games by Bennett and Ferland.
TJ Brodie is in the conversation for best Defenceman in the league imo. He was fantastic tonight.
Hamilton had a great physical play and pass out for the gwg. Props to him.
Johnny... what can you say about him. His pass timing and execution is a thing of beauty.
Nice to see Russell with the gwg. I thought he struggled again tonight but made up for it on another gwg. I was thinking to myself in the third, oh well so long as Russell is implicated in the gwg every game we play then that is a positve as we will be winning.
Ramo had a great game. Lots of good saves and looked fairly confident from the middle of the first onwards. Keep it rolling.
The pk was solid tonight. It definately served as a momentum builder for us tonight. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
The pp was better tonight despite the lack of results, but Nashville was doing a great job of clogging the zone down low.
Overall a pretty good game to watch for the last two periods. Although we struggle with a close pluggy game e definitely are more comfortable once the game opens up.
Loving this win streak.

What is Gaudreau's points per 60 minutes of ice time in 3 on 3? It has to be absurd. The Flames should pay him 8 million a year. He's probably s 6 win above replacement player already this year based on what he's done in OT.

Goal differential and strength of schedule. I think that's all they take in account
I defended Hiller at the start of the season, but I'd be very surprised if there were any Hiller over Ramo people left. At this point it isn't even close. Ramo seems to have elevated his game since he was waived. Hiller has not.
That's my position as well. And I don't think anyone says Hiller would be better with a bunch of starts, just that he might get his game back in order, like Ramo did. In fairness, Ramo has played well for the last 2 or 3 games, and the rest of the wins in this streak were in spite of him (like Hiller's two). Undoubted of the two, Hiller's looked worse.
I think I've had enough of Patty. I hate how he talks when he disagrees with someone, just so insanely condescending in his tone of voice. He just straight up yells at people, I'm out.
