[GT] Flames @ Devils

[Nammer403]

Good start with a PP goal

[TheScorpion]

Hey, Steeger! Yeah!

[JurassicTunga12]

Versteeg!

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

Eat #### Palmieri.

[direwolf]

Flames' deadly PP strikes again!

[StrykerSteve]

Absolutely perfect screen by Chiasson.

[GioforPM]

Brouwer must be grinning.

[TheScorpion]

Re-sign Versteeg. Now!

[AC]

Also worth noting on the Monahan goal, yet again Brouwer with a great screen in front... but doesn't register an assist.

Since his return I've counted 7 goals he's directly helped cause but didn't get a single assist:

Spoiler!

vs NJ: Draws the defenceman to him, battling in front of the net leading to Monahan being all alone for a rebound goal. But no assist for Brouwer.

in EDM: Crashes into the defender spinning him around allowing Monahan to walk in and actually get a clean shot off for once, leading to Monahan's rebound goal. No assist for Brouwer.

vs FLA: Perfect screen on Versteeg's soft backhand shot that Luongo never saw. No assist for Brouwer.

vs NSH: Another perfect screen on Versteeg's deflected slow moving shot from the point that Saros never got a good read on as a result. No assist for Brouwer. Brouwer was also parked in front on Monahan's late goal, creating room for Gaudreau to carry the puck around the net before setting up Monahan, Brouwer drew 2 defenders to him including Fisher who then scrambled to cover Monahan. Also no assist for Brouwer.

vs EDM: While shorthanded, Brouwer rushes the Oiler against the boards trying to set up a PP rush. The Oiler stopped and forced a bad pass that Monahan picked off for the breakaway goal. No assist for Brouwer.

vs MIN: Absolutely perfect screen on Monahan's goal. Dubnyk didn't see anything. No assist for Brouwer.

vs NJ: Great screen again, Monahan goal. No assist for Brouwer.

Don't think it's a coincidence that Monahan has 6 of those goals either and is suddenly red hot with Brouwer on his line.

Those are five very good centres.

Did you seriously just call a guy in the AHL a very good Center? Bennett is not a very good Center and Stajan is a good 4th line Center. We still need a third line Center which will let us put Bennett on his wing.

[Machiavelli]

WTF my feed cut out on the goal

Please keep banging this drum because I think you're 100% accurate in this assessment.

He's in the AHL, but he has the potential to be a very good centre. And Bennett is 20, he's just going through a cold streak.

Centre is not the Flames' weakest position, not by a long shot.

Flames need to keep up the physicality. They play so much better when hitting.

Wonder why Mony didn't get an A off that goal. He clearly passed it to Brodie.

Yep him and Chiasson have been great all year with the screens. Brouwer hasn't been great this season but I have no doubt he'd be great in the playoffs and in big games.

He's been a little too invisible in a lot of games for my liking but he is the type of player you need in the playoffs.

Really? I think Bennett has been quite good the last few games.

Perhaps your expectations for a young developing centre are out of whack?

Maybe, just maybe there is some level of patience required in player development?

Chucky is awesome.
