Sarasti

He's still an elite passer. I think a lot of his struggles are a combination of bad luck and his linemates not anticipating his passes. That chips away at his confidence and it kinda snowballs from there.

Home sick as hell tonight. Had 27 hours of sleep the last 2 days so ill definitely be up for this one.

Stripes really tried their damndest to take this one away from Calgary. Stars get away with murder all night and I really disagree with the hand pass decision as I believe it hit Backlunds leg before Huberdeau touched it. Great resilience once again though! I'm off to bed. GFG!

I like how the call was "no missed stoppage" because that would mean the officials would actually have to own up to their mistakes. 😒

Good game for Calgary taking advantage of a tired Canucks team. Thought most of the players looked really engaged. Liked what I saw from Huberdeau and that line as a whole. They were pretty much dominated 5v5 vs MTL so big bounce back for that trio. I really didn't like what I saw from all 4 officials tonight. From tossing a player on nearly every face-off, to giving Pospisil a roughing minor after Hronek was the only one dropping the mitts, then Greer gets the only minor on a nearly identical play late. Didn't change the outcome buts its really bothersome to watch. GFG!!!

Was a really fun game all around. Markstrom was fantastico. 2nd line was great once again too.

GO FLAMES GO! Thanks for the GDT RocketDoctor, you're a goddamn Rockstar.

Saw that as well. Vladar trade on the horizon? Flip him to SJ for Duclair lol

I thought Huberdeau had a good game against Seattle because he looked more sure of himself on plays. Back to the uncertainty again in this one.

Well thats certainly the most cohesive and composed I have seen them this season so far. Zary with another point. I thought the Backlund line played great but Coleman in particular was a force. 2 in a row! Let's keep it rollin 😎

Go Flames Go!! Let's string together some W's starting now!

I watched enough this morning to see that Zary's strong camp has given him that confidence to absolutely play at the NHL level I agree with all who say he should be in the top 6. The kid has game

When you look at the play itself it is rather miraculous how quickly he returned to action after a fall like that. I expected him to be out for an extended period after seeing it. These guys are in tremendous shape though and that can lead to quick injury recovery.

On the bright side the PK has been excellent to start the season. Heh. Silver linings and all that

I'm saving this one to show to my coworker from London on Monday. 🤣

Tru. But alas I'm not 21 anymore

Caught the second period. Markstrom looked good but the boys look tired otherwise. I'm off to bed as its 330 and a few drinks deep. Don't want to make bad decisions 😅

The thing to remember with those Kings teams as well is they likely would not have won if Quick wasn't playing otherworldly. Sutter hockey RELIES on stellar goaltending when it comes down to it. As for your second point I would like to see them try Coronato with Huby for the reasons you outlined

Will try to stay awake for this one as Pitts is my 2nd team. Pretty drunk atm though so we will see lol

Yeah Huska swapped Mangiapane for Dube about halfway through. Only line change I noticed. Paid off though IMO

Markstrom was dialed in. Thought the second line looked good 5v5 and the 1st PP unit was dangerous as well. Coronato was making things happen out there. Nice to have a guy who's not afraid to shoot.

I watched Honzek very closely this preseason and he may take a few years but the talent is definitely there. Once he fills out and adjusts to the speed of the pro game we will have a good player on our hands.

Rantanen is a franchise winger. Anything close would be a home run.

I agree on Mangiapane but for different reasons. I think he has the skills but his skating (balance in particular) doesn't match. Dube makes it look easy skating-wise in comparison.
