Flames have more goals than STL has shots this period

Coleman after Backlund makes a good play. 😗 🤫 🙄

Blues get a shot.

Tkachuk makes enough of those every game, so one by Zaddy is no problem.

If this is Monahan getting his sea legs back, we are in for a good finish to the season.

I like the way Ruzie plays. He's till getting used to his role, but you can see his confidence building. Smart plays.

Blues zero shots this period.

STL burning their TO. Nice.

Money Hands

Gaudreau is not afraid to go to the net now. When did he get so big?

The format for the All Star game is 3v3. Gaudreau with Stone and Pietrangelo. No other lines from the Pacific have D on them. One division has 3 D in their lineup. Other East division has 2. Both West divisions have 1 each. https://www.nhl.com/news/2022-all-star-game-lines-predicted-by-nhlcom/c-329917866?tid=277549086

I was eating late and just watching. Thought maybe RD hadn't managed to put one up. Checked and rushed one up there.

17-7 shots Flames 3-1 Flames score Faceoff 58% Flames

Killed it off fine. I am more worrried about 2nd period. We crushed them in the 1st.

That PP was a bit of a gift, so game management kicks in. You knew Flames would get the next call, earned or not.

I would say that his previous goal was a bit of a lazer as well.

PP goal. Woot. Ruzie in for Richardson, but not showing up in lines.

2 goals by the D. Tanev gets his 2nd of the year with a perfect JH feed.

Ruzie in for Richardson.

I think he was in the Euro league, so not likely to accept a PTO. In fact, it might have had to be an ATO, since he wasn't previously drafted. The best I can find is he was in the 2020 draft and was passed over. He didn't do a lot in 2021, so not selected if available. Was available to Sweden for the WJC 20 and 21, but didn't make the team. He may go higher than 6th or may drop to 7th. He's getting press, so lots of teams will know about him. A 21 year old is still a risky pick, even though he seems to be killing it. Do you look for another Wolf or a guy like this. He might be another Dal Colle.

Says he is eligible for 22 draft. Not ranked very high for a 21 year old. Not exactly sure why he was passed over so long. But an older player in the CHL is expected to be killing it

Must have been frustrating for the coach to watch. Come down the middle, try to pass through a crowd to the wing? Gues it doesn;t matter when they shoot to the body. Kylington had a perfect lane to the ney and tries to blast it through Kostco's body. Those are the chances that are so rare and you don;t try to pick a corner? One timers - into the body. 2nd chances - into the body. Had we scored the 3rd goal before EDM got on the board, EDM would have folded. But we have them an easy PP from a frustrated young player. The 2nd PP was weak, but gets called a lot when it's McDavid. He should have been called on the dive playing against Tkachuk, but they never call thos anymore. At best, it's 2 each. O never like allowing a team to get off the Schnide. EDN has an easy schedule compared to our insane next 4 weeks. 4 B2B sets. Starts with 4 games in 6 nights, follwed by 2 days off then a B2B. Then 6 days off then a B2B. Only plus is that Vladar will get the net back for some games. Markstrom has great games followed by average ones. Can;t say he was the reason we lost last night though. 4 goals is just too many, though.

Refs blew this game.. Missed a blatant penalty on Kylington that took out the D and allowed Draisaitl to have a clear path past Tanev.
