Ryan Man Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 With Elliott having an individual 10 game win streak, does anyone know what the Flames record is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the record is but he has to be close. Miss the days when Peter Mahr used to give us those daily interesting tid-bits. It goes beyond that, Elliott is 14-1-1 in his last 16 games. Last night he was one giveaway from getting his 3rd SO in 4 games. His last 9 games average 0.957 SA%, possibly the hottest GT’er in the galaxy right now. The million-dollar dilemma is how do you keep him dialed in without burning him out while you have a competent backup on the bench? You don’t win SC’s in games 72-82, you win them in 4th round of the playoffs, potentially 38 games from now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About two minutes before that I said to my dad, the D better start playing for Elliott now. I could see see a touch of complacency come into the game in the 3rd. I didn't feel like they'd lose, but the play changed. Too bad, Elliott deserved the shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we consider that he had much smaller pads, and the fact that Vernon was 5'9" and 167 lbs, he was an incredible goaltender and we were very lucky to have him on the Flames... When I look at the pic that Deeds posted it sure seems like there is a whole lot of net exposed, but he was definitely one of the best in the league at stopping the puck... Vernon was something special... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the good luck shirt that I often wear for games lately... If you look close, under HD it says "MOOSE ON THE LOOSE"...

A player like bishop has to be twice the size of vernon plus the increase in gear size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Elliott is the 3rd star for the week: https://www.nhl.com/news/brad-marchand-sidney-crosby-brian-elliott-named-nhl-3-stars-of-week/c-287895452?tid=282747176 THIRD STAR - BRIAN ELLIOTT, G, CALGARY FLAMES Elliott went 3-0-0 with a 1.95 goals-against average and .926 save percentage to help the Flames (41-27-4, 86 points) maintain third place in the Pacific Division. He made 32 saves - and turned aside all three attempts in the shootout - in a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins March 13. Elliott then made 24 stops in a 3-1 win against the Dallas Stars March 17 and 19 saves in a 5-2 triumph over the Los Angeles Kings March 19. In doing so, he earned his 11th consecutive victory (1.70 GAA, .942 SV%, 2 SO) to tie Mike Vernon (Jan. 17 - Feb. 27, 1989) for the longest such run by a goaltender in franchise history. The 31-year-old Newmarket, Ont., native owns a 23-13-3 record with a 2.46 goals-against average, .911 save percentage and two shutouts in 41 appearances this season, his first with the Flames. Finally some league love for the Moose. Well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carty Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 With Johnson out for at least a couple of games with a lower body injury, Gillies has been called up... https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flames-recall-jon-gillies-from-stockton/c-288462026 Hopefully it's something relatively minor and Johnson heals up soon... Had to happen on the first shot of the game too, poor guy has had a string of bad luck after a pretty amazing run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
