Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

So... apparently I shouldn't have turned off the Jackets game when they were down 2-0.

They looked so pathetic.

Yeah, watched the first two periods. Started off shitty, but turned it around.

I thought the Flames would be good this yr. Penguins beat them silly last night 9-1. Looks like more than a new coach is needed for Calgary.

Not going to beat anybody in this league with that pathetic effort. The coach can only do so much, this is on the players.

Hanifin has been pretty good in my opinion this season, but he was godawful last night. Stone is playing himself into the AHL.

It seemed like every goal the Pens scored one of those two was out of position or taking a lazy shift.

There have been five core players that have been with the team through the last three coaches - Monahan, Gaudreau, Backlund, Giordano, and Brodie. Treliving has tinkered around the edges and I think most of his moves have been pretty good, but at some point you have to ask if you need to move a core piece or two if they're not getting the job done.

Gillies or Parsons need to be the answer for y'all long term. Short term the Flames need to find someone to take some heat off of Mike Smith by actually hitting someone or blocking shots.

When the Flames won in 89, that was my big gripe against Mike Vernon. The Flames Dmen didn't allow that many shots so Vernon didn't have to do much.

It all starts with effort and having some resiliency, Flames started out well against Pittsburgh last night and had a couple of great scoring chances, but Murray was up the task. Then Crosby scores a nice goal to make it a 1-0 and the entire team sags and before you know it, it's 3-0 at the end of the first period and it's essentially game over. As you said, hit somebody, have some push back, but last night the Flames looked meek and while the meek may inherit the earth, they don't win many hockey games.

why does NHLPA not give a shit about Oskar Sundqvist

Monahan, 22 year old Sam Bennet and Mike Smith for Bob, Dubi and a pick. First if Bob signs.

I wonder if Kipper today wouldn't be better than the Flames current net minders.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Has anyone seen a player do a fortnight inspired dance celly after a goal yet ... nhler? Ncaa? Junior player?

I gotta think thats happening somewhere this year ... its all the rage in atom lol

and what the hell was this?

Did the flames trade Dougie Hamilton because of museums or fortnite

Panarin for Eriksson.... Don't mind if we do

I don't understand how a guy can get hooked and pushed into the boards from behind and both officials miss it.
