Fixed that for you. He's right where he should be now. Anal-eyezing his FW group in edmonton but has to ask his boss what he should do first.

He's got that stick chuck tucked in his back pocket for later when the wheels really come off.

A red hot Mike Smith
Very strong commitment to team defense, especially eliminating second shot attempts
Team speed
Work ethic and playing hard for the entire 60 minutes
Everyone playing to their role

Peluso had by far the lowest ice time of anyone on the team. If you really think that the player with 5:16 in ice time, with no points, shots on goal, hits, PIMs, or any other measurable impact on the game was the REASON the Flames won tonight? I don't know how to have a rational conversation with you.

What are you talking about? I read the whole thread and nobody said Peluso was the reason for the victory tonight.

I like that they maintained pace for 60 and didn’t sit on the lead, allowing a Preds push

[GioforPM]

Neal's best play was dumping that Pred on his ass on the faceoff.

Really nice ATL for us too

Vancouver, Colorado, LA and Dallas all lost.

San Jose winning is really the only bad thing but Elliott let in 8 goals so it's almost worth it.

Great game. So excited for the depth even though it was top line putting up the points. I think Bennett should get time on the 2nd powerplay. He has improved so much with his puck control and I would have him on the 2nd unit over dube. Needs to get a goal to propel him.

Well at least he won't be very bruised.

Someone buy Smith a decent hat.

Holy #### guys, shut the hell up with the political correctness nonsense. Take it elsewhere.

Dube, Czarnik, Backlund, and Bennett are all overdue for goals. Hanifin looks great, Andersson and Valimaki could be downright dangerous offensively in the near future.

Great game.

[Monahan For Mayor]

Nobody is saying that Peluso was the reason the Flames won. Did anyone see Ronaldo run any of our guys tonight ? Nope. He is widely known as one of the dirtiest players in the league. Maybe he was feeling nice tonight, or maybe he didn't feel like getting his face pushed in knowing Peluso was out there. I'm going to give Peluso some credit and say he atleast had him thinking. While being an effective 4th liner. Good game by him, now we can get Jankowski back in.

I just want to enjoy the win and not do this. Internet debates rarely change people’s opinion. But if we must...

But as a health care professional who deals with people with a spectrum of issues including mental disabilities, I can confidently say that ‘######ed’ and ‘foolish’ are not synonyms.

And there are layers of colloquial meanings of the word that are ignorant and disrespectful. You can’t ignore that. I don’t think that I get offended by many things, but at least I do know that throwing a word like ‘######ed’ around in that way is not OK. Even Michael Scott clued in a decade ago.

Anyways sorry for elaborating on an off-topic conversation. I was hoping my one-word answer would have been sufficient before, because I’m really just here to enjoy the Flames win.

Let it go, you made another PGT about you. Just enjoy something ONCE.

Very impressed with Czarnik and Lindholm. Total revelations on the top two lines and help give a huge balance scoring wise and tempo. Czarnik makes that second line so fast.

Bennett has a great game too. Still not super high on Ryan, but at least he’s on lower lines and didn’t have any power play time.

Flat hat brims are ######ed. Did I do that right?

Good grief. About me?

I did however make the opening comment that Peluso haters can suck it. If you feel offended that the comment applies to you, well then you can... (you know what to do).

It’s better than the one he had last game at least!
