[GDT] Flames vs Comets - Friday Jan 2 @ 5:00pm (MST)

[Drury18]

Huska is using Elson a ton in this game. Everytime you look, he's on the ice taking a big faceoff

While it's frustrating, it happens. I'll gladly take 3 losses when outshooting opponents like this than 1 win when being outshot like that. Means good things in the big picture to be dominating a first place team

Culkin had the puck in the crease in the dying seconds and they couldn't push it in.

Again, we had the chances near the end and didn't get the bounce.

Good effort.
Markstrom's just so big... So little net to shoot at.

Any reviews on Huska so far?

Not sure if I'll get the chance to go tomorrow. It's possible, but not certain.

It seems like Utica's in baby Flames heads. I read these game threads and enjoy them so thanks to posters who consistently put in the effort.

It actually pisses me off every time we lose to these guys (for comparison I wasn't annoyed at the Flames losing to Isles last night).

Just beat Utica damn it.
