This makes zero sense...the FLAMES gave up the fewest HD chances in the league tonight
Gave up...what does a Lucic chance have to do with it...also, 5-2
Oh, no, it's perfectly logical. You see, the Flames actually didn't give up the fewest high-danger chances, because Lucic can't score. When Lucic shoots the puck, it should be counted as a high-danger chance for the opposing team, because reasons.

TOFOLLI SOUNDS LIKE A DELICIOUS DESSERT
Quote:
could be itallian. sounds like it has a leaf in it somewhere as a garnish
Quote:
Ugly #### and I hope Toffoli is okay but the timing makes it obvious to me that he was still upset about the Kadri thing. Caps' fault as well for not keeping the crease clear.
Quote:
I always feel bad for these players being interviewed, huffing, puffing and sweating, and having to answer silly questions.

Hey does anyone know if it's important to have defensemen in hockey
Quote:
I think you're right, better not to make any big changes at this time of the year. Our system calls for at max 3 healthy defensemen and I think we'd better stick to it.

Is that the first McNugget Minute goal of the year???

NUGGETS WOOOOOOOO

What the actual nuggets
Quote:
NUGGETS! (Though I can’t get them in Utah- I’ll pay full price for that goal! )
Quote:
I know. But that’s OK by me, not really a fan of McNuggets. Also, not free, but an extra with a min $1 purchase.

Oh my god, nuggets at last???? It's been so long

WTF was John Carlson doing on that third goal, he's pinching up on the wrong side of the ice and Ruzicka takes the space he vacated for an easy goal against our backup. Holy ####, his galaxy brain plays make me want to throw my tv out the door.

Kadri ####ing sucks. Dirty mother####er.
Quote:
Really need to consider another HC at this point. Defense is laughable (can't wait until Orlov returns). Only some players showing up certain nights. Scoring is few and far between. No consistency in general. Gonna need a major shakeup sooner than later
Quote:
Awful period. Ovi, buddy - we also wish you had 2008 moves left too. But stop turning it over 1 on 3.
Kuzy - just dogging it out there. Eller no idea what he’s doing out there.
Quote:
This team is not good. That is pretty much it.
Quote:
We were getting shutdown way too often. They had way too many odd man rushes. Bad night.

56 & 74 are incredible on defense. Incredibly bad.
Lindholm steering it home

That’s enough for me, thanks.

C'mon, Protas. I thought he was supposed to be a big tough guy. He got just got cancelled with a minor junior league check. He doesn't score, he doesn't hit...much. What does he do, again?

Just popping in to say the Flames horsey jerseys are way better than these. These remind me of NASCAR for some reason.
Quote:
The Flames black Blasty jerseys are actually ####ing awesome. Like what an aggressive jersey, I love it.
Quote:
####ing caps cost me my parley. Picked under 6.5 Why pull the goalie that late when down for nothing.
Quote:
Does Lucic ever raise the puck anymore? I feel like he always shoots five hole, but the way he shoots it makes me wonder whether he can even do it.
Quote:
Toffoli elbow.
Quote:
Sounds like a calgary type of play.
Quote:
It's weird watching the Flames without Gaudreau and Tkachuk. They really were the identity of that team. Reminds me of the Oilers after Smyth left.
Quote:
Flames needed to injure the Caps goalie to score 4 goals. That is like 8 goals for them.
Kadri was pointless in the last 7 games lol. The great Nazem. 100 pt pace man lol. He will get 50 some. Kadri has 1 assist in his last EIGHT games
Jonathan Poutinerneau, Softerneau, etc is a ghost again
God I hope that franchise just nosedives quickly.

You do realize it was a Lucic hit that took Fehervary out of the game right? I'm not saying you want him to take someone out of the game, but there's a value to playing a hard heavy game. it takes its toll on opposing players. There's a reason teams aren't made up of a bunch of skilled 5'7" players.
Oh I see. So if the Flames go from having 0 of them on their roster to 1 of them on their roster, they're suddenly a team of midgets who can't play a physical game.

..and? Is the goal of pro sports to injure the opponent, or to beat the opponent?

"No human can withstand that many hits,” Ryan Kesler once said during the 2015 Ducks / Blackhawks series
(the Ducks proceeded to lose to the lightest and smallest team in the NHL, who proceeded to win the Stanley Cup)
Quote:

Strawman argument, no one is asking for a team made up of a bunch of skilled 5'7" players. No one is even asking for a line of sub 6'0" players. It is entirely possible to construct four lines where two players are above average size and the third player complements their skillsets. That is literally how last year's top line succeeded. MIXED skillsets aggregating strengths and offsetting weaknesses. That is how the 2019 fourth line ended up being the best fourth line we've had in the my lifetime as a Flames fan, despite Ryan and Mangiapane both being "undersized", they worked well alongside Hathaway. They had a role and they overwhelmingly crushed it.
Quit with the strawman arguments implying people just want a bunch of soft players button-hooking around the perimeter and giving up on plays when they see some neanderthal coming at them from a hundred feet away.

Lol, my apologies for the snark. Let's just enjoy the win.
I still think you need more than just banging and crashing to be a good NHL player. But we don't need to litigate that tonight.

He was great...but to say it's sad the Flames need goaltending like that to win the game?
Calgary was the better team
But they do. Despite the team struggles they've outplayed a lot of teams like they did tonight, yet have been losing. Why? Cause Markstrom sucks the life out of the team with his habitual weak/soft goal a game. Vladar, although not perfect, doesn't do that. The Flames do need goaltending like tonight to win, positionally sound, in control and calm, Vladar is doing just that.

He was suggesting they need the goalie to steal the game or they lose...which couldn't be further from the truth
Vladar was great but it wasn't a tough night...he did his job

It's hyperbole to express a point. There is a value to having guys like Lucic on the team.
And I think Lucic had a good game tonight.

Guys "like" Lucic as in big and physical, an intimidating presence who can hit and fight. Yes. But they also have to not be lacking speed/skill to the point of being a liability to the team.
In the case of Lucic himself, I'd argue the bad outweighs the good at this point.
