Memorable game for me personally. This was my second time watching a Flames game live and my first time alone. So much fun, eh? The first period was hot, and it included a highlight-reel goal from my favourite player, Matthew Tkachuk. 'Twas nice to see that goal while sitting at Section 220, Row 18, Seat 23. I'd love to watch a live Flames game, but I don't know when will that happen. So yah, what a memorable day. And it was my first time seeing Flames win in person too (The first game I went, for those curious, was the last time the Avalanche won at the Saddledome, we lost in the shootout. I was with my sisters when we watched live at press level. Hartley was the coach then. Didn't spend a dime watching Gulutzan hockey as it was not worth it to me plus I had several commitments that I had to attend to at the time. Bill Peters hockey? Bring it on baby!)
Major thanks to ThisYear for providing me the tickets. Best $50 I've spent thus far.

Great first, horrible second, average third. Fun win. You can tell the difference between Vegas and Winnipeg. The Jets have a bit more pride. Vegas folded, Winnipeg pushed back and didn’t go down without a fight.
Rittich is awesome and someone give Tkachuk a blank cheque right away!!!

Oh man, Oilers fans salt. Serious, Rittich looks bad? Tonight? What are they watching?
This is fun, 1st in division, Oilers fans are pissed and it’s American Thanksgiving! We are making the playoffs baby. Jk, but it feels great.
Peters is great. I haven’t disagreed with too many of his decisions so far this season. Tonight was great when he started mixing up the D pairings and shortens the bench when needed. It is so refreshing.
Great win, so much fun, love this team!
Man even with rose coloured glasses on I don’t see how you can say Rittich didn’t look good. Like what? Hahahah

I see it more like Winnipeg has a deep team where the Knights aren't all that deep. Last year they were the little engine that could and took everyone by surprise. The Jets have been building this thing they have now for a while.
They're as legit as any of the top ranked teams like Nashville or TB or TOR.
Either way, I like that the Flames have shown they have that comeback kid spirit in them and can overcome their shortcomings. Or that they can win games in the first period and bend a little but not break. These are very key ingredients to sustained success.
Now all that is left to find out is if they can find consistency and can find that balance night in and night out.
And I really don't want to rain on the David Rittich parade right now but tonight he showed that overzealous thing that hurt his consistency during his stretch of games last season. He floated out of position like Reto Berra a bunch tonight. Or overplayed a bunch of shots leaving him exposed. We got the W, I am happy. But he needs to reel it in back to whats made him so good so far this season. Good positioning and not going hog wild with the big slides.
I loved Gio sending Scheifele down to the ice after dirty play into the boards:
I also caught Andersson winking at someone on the Jets bench after Bennett scored. Definitely get the impression Andersson is a big yapper out there based on the clips of him mic'd up in Penticton and how often he's caught exchanging words with others.

Here's an ATL of just the Oiler fans because it's so delicious.

Almost 60% of their goals are from four players. Depth.
That "Almost 60%" is actually 57.3% from the Flames top-4 goal scorers (it was a little higher before tonight's game).
Meanwhile in Edmonton... 67.2% of their goals are from four players (42.6% from their top-2). Also, McDavid has a point on over half the Oilers' goals (Tkachuk is the Flames' leader at 36%).
Even their trash talk is no good.

That tank or set up looks pretty big for your turtle. What size are we talking about?
I currently have him in a 10 gallon. It's great for a nursery tank for at least the first few years. I have a larger red eared slider as well in a 30 gallon I believe. Both with dual light UVB and heat lamp setups.
The Jet's could blow these guys away -- like 6-2 or something, if they get off to a good start. Calgary is a choppy hacky team, and not near the talent level of the Jets.
Quote:
Great GDT.
Should be a good game, really can't wait to see Matthew "Better than Laine?" Tkachuk.
Big Bad Flames
Quote:
The way the Flames targeted McDavid and Draisaitl on Saturday was pretty pathetic. Every whistle someone took a shot at one of them. The worst being Tkachuk. Hopefully the Jets can just keep calm and take the power plays and make those idiots pay.
Quote:
Why people go into opposition GDT's is beyond me.
I plan on talking plenty of trash about those cow **** smelling flames. I hate them, and I want to crush them. I want to beat them so bad in that giant butt seat of an arena that they burn it down afterwards.

He was right in front of the net, watching Dube score.

Myers managed to give the puck away and then lose the front of the net when the puck went around the boards. What is he covering the circle opposite the puck that's more important than the guy standing in front of the net?

Has any team scored 5 goals in one period vs us?

First period summary:
Quote:
Tkachuk goal was on the goalie. The rest were brutal D zone giveaways/coverage. Myers puts one in the net, lets Dube camp out in front on one, Trouba brutal clear into two Flames and then lets Gaudreau walk in and take his time to find his shot.
Quote:
Just turned on the game. Saw score. Cried a little. Turned it off.
Calgary has been playing fantastic hockey lately. And the Jets pull a stinker.
Quote:
Well at least we don't need to score 5 in one period, I hear that's next to impossible.
Big Save Dave
Quote:
I assume Rittich will start tonite. He gives them a far better chance at a win.
I've watched CGY a few times this year. They seem to get decent possession and generate a lot of chances but just weren't scoring on them. Consistently anyway.
Or Mike Smith just torpedoed them too often.

Good news they haven't scored in the second, bad news neither have we

It was outside the crease

Hmm hardly touched him and he was outside the crease but not going to win this one.

Rittich was completely outside of the crease. Not even just a skate hanging out, he was completely outside of the crease.

Did you hear Kelly Hrudey almost got hit by a bus.
It just missed him and went between his legs.

Rittich makes no attempt to continue to play hockey. Doesn’t deserve that call.
Ryan with the EN

C'mon Laine, make that save

Well, that was about as good of an effort as you could expect, from being down 4 goals in the 1st. Rittich did his job on the other end.
Quote:
This game reminded me of the Pavelec era.
Quote:
I said 6-2 with us outshooting by 20 shots at the end of the 1st.
Someone gild me.
Quote:
Damn so that's what ENG against feel like
Quote:
Their goalie was real solid tonight. Hellebuyck stunk.
Quote:
We have to pick up our 5 on 5 game. Our checking line comes out and gives us a lead on the first shift. Then our defense collapses. That 3rd pairing is a nightmare. Morrissey-Trouba weren't particularly good either. But you know that's an off night.
Rittich was good. Too bad Trouba got his skate in there, because that sequence would have likely resulted in a goal, regardless of the flopping. That was our chance to come back on the comeback kids.
I think Calgary is a more complete team than us. No passengers, they attack the puck well. I've been impressed with their team all year.
I was really disappointed that Maurice ran his stars for almost 2 minutes with the goalie out. The Flames got line changes in, and you knew they were going to win the foot races eventually. Our big guns are not the only star power we have. Put in Lowry, Roslovic, Perreault, Ehlers and our 2 speedster d. Long shifts are recipes for goals against. The analytics surely tell you that.
But life goes on. Beat Minnesota and we're still 2nd best in the West. Lose and we're moving into the middle of the pack, so hopefully there's some resolve and some lineup changes for next game.

This is what depth looks like people. If the Flames goaltending wasn’t hot garbage early in the season, they’d have 6 more points.

I hope Andersson is a yapper. Last 2 years of GG the flames had no swagger. Shows the kids engaged. Lets get all the personalities going . It gets the bench engage EVERY single shift. I love the peters hiring now . I was so hesitant of it at first but now he seems like a nice mix of Hartly old school and new age possion coach. I said it i the past ( check my poster history if you want) this team needs that hard ass coach not stricly a player friendly coach to be successful. Bill peters seems to let them be emotional and play to there strengths .
Only 1/4 through the season boys lets keep it up. Lots of hard work yet to be done.
I remember a few posters say they play best when the ignore to rough stuff yet they seem to get the wins when they get the blood flowing in the greasy games. Tonight the flames got into it early then piled on the goals after the fact . Anecdotal but the last 3 games the hardnosed after whistle #### happened then they cam back to fill the net.

Almost 60% of their goals are from four players. Depth.
This ones my absolute favorite from HFOil salt. A real special case of delusion.
Our top line of Lindholm, Monahan and Gaudreau has accounted for 31 of our 75 goals for 40 percent of our goals.
Took a gander over at their top line of McDavid, Draisaitl and Cagguila have scored 33 of their 61 goals for a 54 percent haul of their goals. So pot meet kettle my friend. And if you want to see some thing that REALLY shows their depth.......
Connor McDavid has scored 31 points.
Edmonton Oilers have scored 61 goals.
51 percent of their offense from ONE player. Depth.
