Gaudreau

Quote:
Bob (Hartley) told me at the beginning of the season that our line is going to be circled against other teams,” Gaudreau was saying early Monday in New York. “When they’re talking about the other teams, they’re going to be talking about our line … last year at the beginning of the year, we kind of went unnoticed.”

“Me and Sean, we were two younger guys and everyone knew who Jiri was,” Gaudreau said. “But because of how we played last year, it’s obviously going to be tougher to play other teams.

“Last year, I didn’t notice it as much. But you can tell as the season started, other teams are matching different lines against us.”

“I’ve had a good start here, but it’s team success,” the 22-year-old pointed out. “It’s not where we want to be. It’s not all about personal goals, it’s more about the team right now.

“We need to come together and get a little stronger … this is a new learning experience, starting out like this.”
Ortio

Quote:
“Yeah, you could say that,” Joni Ortio said. “But is has to be a team effort. We all need to be better here. We know we can win games. We’ve proved it. We’re just struggling to put together a solid 60 minutes right now.”
Hartley

Quote:
“We’ve played good parts of games,” said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. “We need to be consistent … as we know, we had a great season last year and made the playoffs on the second-last game (versus Los Angeles)."

"We know about urgency. That’s one thing, we’re fortunate. We’re coaching good people and they care. But obviously they’re very frustrated. We’re better than this.”

I live in Kanata and when the Flames play Ottawa it's the only game I get to see live. Last year's game was insane and probably the most exciting game I've seen live in years. I'm just hoping for a good game where we don't get embarrassed at this point. I'll be in attendance with several friends who are all Sens fans.

Not worried at all, this team went on an 8 game losing streak last year and still made the show. Tonight is the beginning of a 10 game winning streak, book it.

Trying to find a funny motivational photo involving Senators. Closest I could find is Patrick Brazeau being bodyslammed through a table. Go Flames.

I'm not saying goaltending is the reason we are losing, but this team needs a goaltender to step up and post a 1 GAA for the next 3-5 games, while the rest of the team figures out what to do.
I hope for no soft goals either.

But contrary to that, we NEED secondary scoring to step up and help bail out our goaltender once in a while. Can't really fault goaltending when we can't score more then 1.78 g/g. Time for the supposed ''best defence in the league'' to step up big time, get the forwards the puck.

And for God Jesus sake, START SHOOTING THE PUCK!!!

I think we're gonna play one hell of a hockey game. 4-2 flames with some secondary scoring. Go Flames Go.

5-1 sens, I just haven't seen anything that tells me that they're going to find the confidence or secondary scoring to succeed for a while yet.

i haven't had a chance to watch a flames game properly outside of the first 2 games of the season.

I am hoping to change that today, and am hoping i'm the good luck charm required to turn this thing around.

If the goalscoring struggles continue, i think it's time to fully mess with the lines (looks like that has already happened for the d lines).

gaudreau - monahan - bennet
frolik - backlund - hudler
colborne- jooris - jones
raymond - stajan - bollig

or something even more mixed up...

I liked Gaudreau - Monahan - Bennett when it was tried. Bennett plays with the jam that's needed to give that line a bit of space.

Me too. Flames are so fragile mentally right now. If they get scored on first, I don't think they can fight through that.

Which is pathetic.

Hopefully Flames pot one first or I am proved wrong. GFG.

This vid worked for the Detroit game:

Screw all the negativity in this thread.

Flames shut down the Sens and score a couple on the power play to win 2-0. Hiller with the shutout with 25 saves.

You can all blame me if it doesn't turn out this way instead of ripping the team at every opportunity.
