[GT] Flames vs Wild

[DropIt]

Brodie needs to quit over thinking it. Had a great shot opportunity and turns it into a chance for the wild

It's a damn shame, because it's been all Flames so far.

These points demonstrate why 5 on 5 possession stats are the most overused and over-rated stats in the game today. First of all, dominating 5 on 5 does not necessarily mean goals. Power plays are more important than ever. And a good PP is all about key goals. If the Flames score on the PP, this is a totally different game. But killing two PPs gave the Wild life and eventually a break that could be back-breaking for the Flames.

Second, dominating 5 on 5 an getting a lot of shots is usually just what goalies love. And standing around getting no shots is the worst thing for a goalie. That is why when one team gets a crazy number of shots, they lose more often than not. And why possession stats have so many outlier games.

If the Flames had a PP, they would be leading this game. Dominating 5 on 5 has accomplished nothing except get Dubnyk's juju flowing.

Well that was a ####ing genius move Brouwer.

[OldSam]

That is such a stupid penalty, Brouwer. Stupid.

[BigBrodieFan]

oh jeeze what a baby

[Nsd1]

Penaltys 200 ft away from your own net are the best to take.

[Ashasx]

it's like Brouwer waited for every official in the rink to look before he took his chop

Drive home from work - the guys on the radio say this is bar none our best start to a game all year

Turn off the car get the tv going and we're down 1-0 and have looked pretty average since.

Brouwer has the hockey IQ of a dead guppy.

That goes for everyone on the team.

They aren't potting several goals per night at the moment, having the leeway to spice it up. Keep it simple.

Drive back to work.

What a stupid penalty from Brouwer

[direwolf]

Good job, Brouwer. Let's just keep giving the Wild PP opportunities. What could possibly go wrong?

[JT96912]

I don't mean to sound like a bummer. But why does almost every goalie look like an all star against us?

Their PP is so much better than ours

[GioforPM]

I like using Jankowski on the PK.

[BigBrodieFan]

The only thing that is keeping this game entertaining is that I am almost finished a bottle of pinot and I have an awesome cheese log to nibble on. I hope it gets better.

I better open another bottle of wine.
