  1. I like the old game more than the new game. It was more of a physical game. The way the league and society are talking, they will be playing unisex with tennis rackets soon. 'The best offense is a good defense' but that doesn't seem to be good enough for the modern speed addicts, and the seasoned players get prematurely thrown on the scrap pile. It's not Sutter's fault either. The new players on the roster should be ready to play the coaches game. What's with that?
  2. LOL Hockey is a simple game. Now that is positive. Beautiful pass to Lucic, and a beautiful lift to the shelf by Lucic. Ya, there's all kinds of bright stars in the organization. As for trashing Sutter, I am not there. That article where our best player, Toffoli, indicates that Sutter is the best coach he has ever had? I wonder if Treliving should have Sutter pick players that don' t cry about a 'defence first' style i.e. Kadri, Huberdeau. Maybe trade or sell Hube to Montreal; they still owe us for Monahan. Hube wants to play there/they want him. Kadri just ain't that good; he has a good shot. Since when has he been a super star?.. Anyway Or maybe Treliving should look for something else?
  3. Thanks. We need Peter Maher to, "... put it in the win column!" We led the league in some dumb stats this season. How many posts last night?
  4. So this is how it feels in the eye of the storm. Is anyone able to calculate a magic number yet? If the preds get in I am going fishing. I've lived through the Almighty Unstopable Coiler's Medicine Show Dynasty once already back in the 1980s. They don't need or get my witness this time. The so called battle of alberta don't need my precious life blood, time. My dad taught me not to be anybody's dummy... twice.
  5. Points in 7 of the last 9 games. I never really mean die, when I say die. That blow out against the kings may have been the results of a mutiny. It's a hard row to hoe in Sutter's game but it's still the style of game I like. I don't like the constant dump and chase, and the seeming lack of creativity but I still like his work ethic, and a defencive approach. Lanny on the interview said to keep the shots coming, and hit the net. I say aggresive energy not reactive energy. Don't play hot potato. Is it Marchand or Bergeron who sinks 68% of his shots? When you get inside the castle walls, have a head... and save a move for the goalie. We all wish they could have started playing like lately but earlier in the season. It wouldn't be such a nail biter just to try to make the POs.
  6. Quick was on a roll. That performance stopped his roll. The golden showers were outplayed period. I give credit where due.
  7. That is how you play hockey. 60 minutes of full team aggression on the fore and back. Attack.
  8. Is 20 losses when outshooting the other team by 10 or more an NHL record?
  9. I think because the odds are so low, the flames are going to beat the golden showers tonight.
  10. I LOL I think I might be indecisive but then again I'm not absolutely sure. Next game should be good. I'm trying not to get too involved with them now... so I can sleep😬
  11. Not with the Calgary Bettmandome being built.
  12. One hidden gem would be good. Who's going to be captain, Toffoli, Backlund, Huberdeau, Lindholm? Who has that leadership quality?
  13. He's trying to overthrow the positivity thread! Stop him, stop him! 🤥👊
  14. They have to start scoring sooner or later. Mangi is stumped. I am sick of the posts period. What can you say? Feels like Nashv might get that WildC spot. I'm not going to watch the playoffs this year if no flames or jets. Evening fishing will be fun. Is Nick Ritchie playing for the yotes again? WTH?
  15. Excellent. Some goals goin in. That goalie should have had a penalty. Markstrom looked great. He dint have to be out of the net so long. Bad time to move when Backstrom is trying to go through his legs with that pass. That's 3 of 4 for 2 points. Do that 4 more times... Jets didn't help tonight. Mangie needs to try some different plays. Dube was seeming corralled. Bust through you guys.
  16. AAAAAAARGH! I am having a gas attack. Allow me to throw the towel in? AAAAAAARGH! Next game please. cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo 🎶🎵
  17. yah, reverse positivity. When you have a sore stomach, eat a bowl of the hotest peppers you can find. It will form callus on your stomach lining, and you will never have gastritis again🥵💨
  18. Nah. I gave up trying to tell the future; Lost money in the futures market trying to do that. It is what it is. The weather is what it is supposed to be. The climate is what it is. I am merely trying to watch a game without having a neuro breakdown, or a stroke😎
  19. Remember, putting aside the great skill of the players, hockey is 90% a game of mistakes and bounces. If the team would have had lucky rather than unlucky bounces in those places, they would be looking more like a titan than a tit. It can still pay off. I would rather be half full than half empty; it feels better and is easier on my ulcers. Half full of BS you might say😃
  20. Absolutely 🦈 Kipper was a shark. Sutter knew that. One goal from a Cup (and it was in). Has anybody ever run a grid on a computer program to prove the angle that that puck was in? I will never concede that goal until I see a computation on a grid.
  21. You sound jaded. Where there is a chance... Success in life usually comes after alot of failures. I always told my brother, "Don't bitxh just before the finish line." He doesn't talk to me anymore.
  22. Exactly. A hot streak. Vlad can back up. I see all the big numbers of games that need to be won but in small bites; Flames win 5, chased team loses 5. That has happened before. Everybody can't win, cuz sometimes, sometimes, you gotta lose. Bad News Bears, Mighty Ducks... Kipper the Keen played most of the season himself.
  23. Clinching really late is not optimum but what can you do? It's also entertaining to get in the playoffs nice and early but 8 teams are out in the first round; sometimes the powerhouses. The cup is the only entertainment that matters in the end.
