Agreed, that's the way I have looked at it since the trade as well... That's the thing... and if I recall correctly, it's got to be getting close to 2 months since Neal has scored, and if he is not putting up points, he's pretty much useless... At least Looch can fill a role, and it's a role that the Flames needed to address...
-
Than after next season, his modified NTC kicks in (list of 8 teams he can be traded to) and then the following season (list of 10 teams he can be traded to)... Might have to retain a bit of salary, but it could be an option... Could also be an option...
-
Someone sent me this post from their chat box... Apparently some people where happy that Gio was hurt... Doesn't really surprise me though...
-
Khaira was stirring up Satoshi a number of times with different players... and he did it right to Looch's face with no retribution... Not sure if you are familiar with the instance I am referring to, but Khaira was the aggressor with Looch... If Khaira was wearing a different jersey from any other team that didn't have a Coilers or Bruins crest on the front, we see a different outcome... and 'that ' is the problem... Ask any hardcore Oil fan, and they will tell you that he would always turn his attitude down a few notches and play a different style game whenever they played the Bruins...
-
The bear did in fact get poked... Khaira got in his face a couple of times, most noticeably in the 3rd when he gave Looch a couple of little shoves after the whistle when they were close to the net... That is when he was challenged, and that is when he should have responded...

Athleticism is definitely an advantage, but if you don't have the fundamentals down, a lot of pucks are going to get past you that shouldn't... I read this book when I was a kid, and then read read it a few times more... It was re-released around '97... While goaltending has come a long way since then, the basics will always remain the same...

Plante had his share of stitches on his face as well. and he was the first goalie to ever wear a mask back in '59 ... But the pic is Sawchuk...
-
I have to disagree... I think Smith made a great decision signing with the Oil... Over the last 10 games Smith has played, he has the worst SV% of any goalie in the league that has had at least 5 starts... It couldn't be any better... Unless he gets even worse...
-
Absolutely...
-
For one team his value was low enough that it was worth risking losing him for nothing on waivers... For the other 30 teams, his value is being a goalie that is widely considered as having mediocre talent, who could be picked up from waivers for just the cost of paying his league minimum salary...
-
So you tried to accomplish a 'good deed' by making a dead hockey legend a part of your joke... Yeah... ok... sure...
-
Sawchuk was one of hockey's true heroes... and a legend... He passed away back in 1970...
-
It's signed, and it's official...
-
He must have kicked you really hard...

I am expecting the team to respond in positive way that is quite common after a coaching change... What is more in question is how long it will last with Ward as head coach, hopefully it will last, and not just be a short term improvement in meeting expectations... Odds are we will see an overall upgrade in performance, and hopefully that includes point production from the top 6 forwards... Not trying to sound cliche, but there is no other way to put it, and after 25 games it was really starting to look like Peters had lost the room... He's gone now, so it is up to every player on the team to show us that they are willing to show up and give their best effort each and every game... That said, this is Wards big chance to show us what he's got, and I wish him well and hope that he capitalizes on the opportunity and helps the team to turn the corner back onto the right path...
-
Still miss reading Flyerfan52's posts... Always will... Pretty sure that goes for a lot of us... I'll be looking forward to getting together again to watch a game and clanking a couple of beers together to remember Larry when the opportunity presents itself, and I hope that 420 can make it again as well...

Last season it seemed like there was lead in his skates...
-
It's the NHL double standards rule... and last week a few Flames got a blocker to the face from the goalie without doing anything like what has been happening to Rittich lately... No surprise that the refs didn't seem to care... Speaking of Rittich taking abuse, it's been happening more often... No wonder Lucic snapped... Not an ideal outcome, but least he will stand up for his teammates...

Comments from Lucic... https://www.nhl.com/flames/video/lucic-051119/t-277437092/c-4523354

Lucic was given a 2 game suspension... https://www.nhl.com/news/milan-lucic-suspended-two-games/c-310842732 and Sherwood gets nothing for being a weasel all game and then jabbing Rittich in the nuts...
-
Sure did... and Smith lasted 22 minutes and 36 seconds before he got the hook... That looked familiar to...
-
You are the one that said Schneider was the best performer this season... It is a direct quote... Not a selection of random words like you mangled... Sometimes you are just plain full of Satoshi Nakamoto jj... and you just proved that beyond a shadow of doubt... How about next time you just own up to your own words like a man, and not try and misquote someone like a jackass...
-
and I'm saying that your own post says Gillies has been the best performer so far this season... and so does the Heat's page... Nothing against Schnieder, as I happen to think that he has some good potential... Just pointing out that your current argument lacks credibility...
-
After one game each, Schneider has a SV% of .938, and Gillies has .958... So by your logic, Gillies should be in the net for the Flames?...
-
Gillies and Schneider have only played one game apiece... You couldn't possibly have less data,...
