SheriforPM Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The look of pure delight and happiness on Johnny Gaudreau's face when he scores? Beyond priceless! Still cautiously optimistic but getting to the point of saying screw optimism and just scream from the rooftops... WE WILL MAKE IT!!!!! GO FLAMES GO!

SheriforPM Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Even if the Flames squeeze into the playoffs, which I highly doubt now, they will get crushed without Gio by the Ducks. The playoffs are a dream at this point. It's always nice to read back and see what people think... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheersMan Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 This is a Bit premature. But then, it's not. It's still a rebuilding year and a good one at that. Next year, we will be a Force. Here is another one Sheri. We just had 3 losses in 4 games and four games remaining on that 7 game road trip last month. Grover only comes out when we lose, never when we win.

Pyromancer Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Finally the OOT score board is somewhat beneficial to us:- Nucks lose & open the door to potentially overtaking them & taking 2nd in Pacific. Still only 1 pt back.- Jet lose & open the door to a possible wild card playoff spot if we take it. We have a 1 pt + 1 GIH advantage.The not so beneficial:- Kings win in regulation. Despite being our greatest threat right now, someone had to lose & my preferred choice was the Nucks in regulation. We still have a slight ROW advantage.- Sharks win. A lesser threat. We still have a game in hand & 3 pts on them.- Stars & Avalanche win...hmmm...whatever. Still longshots. RIP Coyotes. A high seed in the draft lottery awaits you. 28811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm sad, no more arm wrestling to decide the President's trophy winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robrob1974 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Interesting stat from what they had to say on the Fan960 today: 2-5-0 in first games of back-to-backs. 6-1-1 in the second of the back-to-backs. That second game is hard to get that win. It's about rebounding, and it mimics in-game situations when down, they get right back up. When you take the 8 game losing streak, they've been relatively resilient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xstrike Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 With Minni losing, I think that puts us 5th in the West. We have the goal differential tie breaker. Sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkerman Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 This team is for real. I haven't seen the Flames with this much desire to win since the 80's. Even with a 10 gm losing streak, and on the 2nd yr of a rebuild, they still are definetly going to make the playoffs. Kudos to Hartly and all the players. Looking to see a playoff game with the Flames in for the first time in a long time. Living in B.C. , I am surrounded by Cansuck fans and I had a verry enjoyable time watching Flames and Cansucks games this yr. Hoping to win the bet I have with my diehard Cansucks friend as to who will finish higher in reg. season. Gooooooooo FLAMESSSSSSS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_henning Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 For those who haven't been paying attention (all one of you) In 6 games this month we are 5-0-1 with 28 goals, averaging almost 5 per game. That's pretty impressive. The only bad news is we've surrendered 18 (or 3 per game). I'm glad for the scoring outbreak and would love to see it continue, but we're going to have to work on our defence a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad for the scoring outbreak and would love to see it continue, but we're going to have to work on our defence a little. I am not going to get all excited on a 6 game span for allowing an avg 3 goals per game. Especially when it is the team adjusting for the loss of our captain and best defenceman. Add to that the most of those teams we played are top teams who tend to score a fair amount, I'll give them a pass for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubicon Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm not panicking either. Just pointing out that there is one area that isn't perfect. The Flames haven't been perfect all season, that's kind of their calling card. They don't lead in the stats that most find important. They don't do well in the advanced stats. They dig themselves a hole just so they can climb back out of it again, not just on a per-game basis, but I'm thinking of the whole 8-game losing streak too. They're not perfect by a long shot. They do a lot of things wrong, but the two things they do right is win and never give up. And boy does that make them exciting. But you're right. No reason to panic. This is their M.O.

The Flames have found ways to compensate all season (aka find a way Flames.) This is just another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Giordano got hurt. The Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler line turned it up. The Flames have found ways to compensate all season (aka find a way Flames.) This is just another example.The entire season is full of these examples of stepping up: Backlund injured, Monahan steps up as shut-down center Raymond injured, Johnny becomes the top scoring LW Ramo injured, Ortio comes in and wins 4/5 games Stajan injured, Jooris provides scoring GlenX injured, Bouma replaces his offence on the 2nd line Gio out, the whole teams steps it up for him. Hartley delayed it as long as possible, but upgraded the Johnny-Huds line with Monahan, and they have been lights-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_henning Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Second end of a tough back-to-back with the international travel. Unfortunate loss tonight, but still one point back of Vancouver (them with game in hand), and two behind Minny. Winnipeg wins and LA loses bumping them out of the playoffs (and still 2 points behind us w/o tiebreaker, but game in hand). Not a perfect night, but not a horrible one. Though that 3 goals against per game is starting to bite us when our scorers are tired.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
