What about since last all star break?

The most or nearly the most comeback wins...not saying they are without flaws (like playing the entire game) but of all things to knock Gaudreau and Monahan about the ability of late comebacks should be low on the list.

I'd like to see the stats on that...since last ASB. It's important to remember that many of these comeback wins would have been in a SO or 3v3 OT, where we've been good. Neither of those exist in playoffs, when it counts.

Go Flames go!

Traitor.

So who takes over for Gio on PP1? Rasmus?

Kinda sad that’s one of the only things I’m looking forward to watching tonight. Be kinda cool if Johnny and Money showed up and if the team played like they cared. That would be neat.

#Flames tonight vs. Nashville:

Mangiapane-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Gaudreau-Monahan-Robinson
Lucic-Ryan-Dube
Rieder-Backlund-Bennett

Brodie-Hamonic
Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Stone

Talbot

Did Janko piss in someones cornflakes? Dude scores two goals, starting to play well and gain confidence, and gets sat even with our two game losing streak.

I like the analogy. Maybe the coach didn't put enough air in the tire or maybe the GM had to make do with biasply instead of a radial.

Or perhaps the tread was thin, therefore the fitness coach wasn't keeping them in top shape.

Can't wait to see what the lineup looks like after the first intermission!

[djsFlames]

Surprise us all and play 60 minutes.

If Ras takes over for Gio on PP1, who takes over for Ras?

Hhmmmm.

So, soccer practice was cancelled, and I will not be driving to Langley tonight. The last time I watched a Flames game on my television they practically broke it. I am faced with consequential, difficult decisions for tonight.

I wonder if they put Stone on PP1 just by virtue of his periodically effective shot.

What's difficult to decide? Go to your local bar in Chilly and watch the game. Take one for the team!

Without Gio it might be a blessing to change up the PP.

I'd like to see:

PP1
13-23-28
4-55

PP2
19-11-88
7-10

55 - 28

29 - 93 - 88
4 - 10

Backlund doesn't compete hard enough on the PP. I'd like to see 29-93-88 just battle for the puck and play with pace along the boards with 4 and 88 acting as the trigger men and Doc as the calming presence.

yay, excited to watch dube skate around

It's cute that Johnny gets to play with his best friend but it hasn't helped Johnny play better and Buddy is not a top 6 forward.
