[Game Takes] Flames 3 Islanders 2

[Bingo]

Flames 3 Islanders 2

- Flames dominate beginning to end
- Tkachuk the man with two goals and the winner
- Hamonic gets an assist in homecoming
- Smith hurt and is helped off the ice

[Strange Brew]

Great write up. Even better than usual Bingo, maybe because the story of the game at Corral with your Dad brought back some special memories for me too.

Would love to hear you elaborate on the importance of the Tkachuk pick. I think you’re suggesting he’s the kind of player you could see being a playoff monster.

FYP

Great write up with much deserved Tkachuk praise.

Nice. I was at that first Islander game. Goring had a statement helmet all right.

Goring wore a SPAPS helmet from Sweden. Literally had zero protection.
Wore one as a kid.

Great write up.

I wonder if Bennett & Janko's 5v5 shot attempts stats were boosted by Gaudreau playing with them. My eye-test seemed to see a lot of that trio in the 2nd period and onwards, and Gaudreau seemed to spark them.
