1-1. Shots: T-30; C-17 4-1. Shots T-30; C-20.lol And all the Leaf fans hate Button because he talks about the other team.

It's fun to watch. Who expected all 4 of those points? Big props to Markstrom. Superfun.

I'm not sure blowing up Vegas and TML on back-to-back is a great way to lay low, but here we are. I expected to blow Toronto out tbh. I half-expected 7. It's about time we destroy everyone on our rink. How much fun is this?

We need 2 more. Just because.

Should be fun to see if we push the pace in the 3rd. I kinda hope so, but b2b, just get the 2 pts.

What? 7-1 Flames. Seems reasonable.

Not to quote myself. But yeah....too much fun

This is how it starts:)

Does Calgary have a team, TSN, or is Toronto playing themselves? Destroy them.

Why? It's 0-0 against a good team that wanted to start strong. 0-0 is perfect. The analysts are mind-numbingly pro-Toronto. Let's go Flames.

Phase 1 to 4 would rock worlds eh wot?

It's the game I wanted. Physical, and the boys aren't missing by much. Time to destroy them, I think. No?

Great hit Z. Wear them down.

Hi Toronto. Whatcha gonna do?

So far so good. Good hungry visiting team, ride out the 1st period.

Not surprising. They have Matthew and Tavares down the middle. I'm interested to see how Sutter plays it. Don't get me wrong. I have tons of faith. Their bottom 6 can be a problem. I hope Sutter doesn't throw this game, because I have a strong sense that he does do that to play long ball. Is he throwing Vladar to the wolves? I REALLY wonder with Sutter. The best teams beat us, and I'm not convinced that he isn't playing possum.

I don't care that it's Edmonton. McDavid and Draisaitl are clearly elite players. I have zero against either. It is out of their control. I feel sorry for them honestly. They are elite players. You mentioned earlier, greybeards. I completely agree. They're my prime example of no draft lottery. I hate it. "Throw your season for the top pick". It's not actually a thing. It is completely overthought and overplayed. Top pick is nothing. It's 1 player. If you suck that bad. 1 player isn't changing that. End the lottery already. It's nothing but PR crap. Unnecessary..

The piling on goaltending makes me laugh. The D play is laughable. So, so bad. "If they had league avg goaltending", Button just said. They do. If they had any sense of how to defend that would show. What a disaster. So toxic.

I hope we're physical, because I'm not sure they can do anything about that. Even if Simmonds were in.

I'm really interested to see the plan. Match 1st lines? Then Backs on Tavares? should be interesting.

He alluded to it last night, post-game. "We're out of sync in pretty much every area". He looks completely miserable and defeated.

I have a handful of friends that are Oilers fans. They can't say that I didn't warn them. All behind getting Kane too. While I'm trying to tell them, "that isn't your problem though, it's defence".

Half my friends and fam are Bruins fans. Plus my Wings friends. I've got most of them calling Calgary their 2nd fave. The heavy eastern schedule helped me a ton.lol It took awhile, but once I started hearing, "I kinda like the Flames"...mission accomplished.lol Doesn't hurt Johnny's play is leaving them in awe. Johnny Franchise.

Should be a fun one tonight. I'm sure Sutter has a plan. Our bottom 6 will need to be very good is my thinking.
