He might not have much of a choice and even then he would want a good price for him. Mrazek has 1 year after this one under contract.

zima Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 We still have a long way to go and facing some tuff opponents I didn't like the game we played last night and we will not survive if we keep playing the way we have last couple of games these games were won solely on the shoulders of Moose. I'm glad he is doing his job finally and I criticized him for his play before the run and he really has kept us in it since. Now the rest of the team has to play with a little more help on the D side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momentum swings are the best thing about watching a game. Be pretty boring if it was all one sided and we were beating teams 5-0 all the time. Plenty of good things happening for us as a team out there, Elliott is doing what everyone as wanted all along, good when called on for some big saves.

The last thing he will do is sell off his young prospering GT’er in favour of a much older one that is injury riddled. If anything, Holland will be looking for ways to trade Howard, not Mrazek. Please don’t repeat yourself again, you do plenty of that on here already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm let me think Howard with 2 years after this one at 5.95M or Mrazek at 4M for 1 more season, if I am an enquiring GM who do you think I would be asking for from Holland? Sure Holland can try and trade Howard but they won't be lining up for him. Yes he is retooling and he will have to trade a few value pieces to obtain the ammunition to do so. I repeat, if I am BT I am asking what it takes to get Mrazek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can buy him out if they want to, waive him and send him to the AHL, or just try to get anything for him. I think they protect Mzarek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Sportsnet in West Coast Bias is dreaming of a Battle of Alberta in the 1st round. Dang I'd like to be the 1s that end Edmonton's 1st playoff appearance in ages (a decade? More?) @ 1 & done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I guess im not comfortable with a team out shooting us 14-2 in a single period we are only a few points ahead of LA being out played like that is not a confidence builder in my mind. The third was pretty scary as well could have been the other way had it not been for a few lucky bounces. Not sure what game you watch but what I saw was not a team playing playoff hockey.

We have outshot chicago in past years for entire games, this happens in the NHL. Does that make them less of a contender or a playoff team? You and some other fans are far to critical of the flames on some nights. Considering they kept the red wings to the outside for the most of the 2nd.

Can't expect the flames to win every shift on every given night, especially against a guy like Zetterberg, he's almost won more cups than the entire 2017 flames combined.

It was exactly like playoff hockey. DET may be having an off season but they are not a terrible team and we are not a team that is going to walk over very many teams yet.

Last few years it was almost given the Central was going to have the max number of teams from the west divisions, in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 We're going to sneak up behind Edmonton & kick them down toward the cellar where they belong. On 2nd thought, maybe we can let them have a WC slot as a renewed BoA would be pretty sweet [with the Flames ultimately victorious of course].

TrippinVdUb Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 As much as id love to see a BOA this year, the first team on my list is the Ducks. We have some demons to exercise with those boys and the sooner it gets done, the better... Then bring on the Oilers in round 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfire11 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The only thing in my opinion better than playing and beating the Oilers in round 1 would be playing and beating the Oilers in round 2 of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickross Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm just glad the Flames aren't content with simply holding down the wild card spot and have the confidence to get after the teams in front of them. My biggest concern is what happens once the winning streak ends? Let's say that suffer back to back losses...are they resilient enough now to avoid falling into a late season slump?

Flyerfan52 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 THN has an article about teams trending up or down. After having the Flames with a 31.3% chance of playoffs Feb.1 that has jumped to 90.9%. They credit Elliot & the win streak. The others trending up are the Hawks & Preds. Trending down are my Flyers (I didn't expect playoffs this year anyway), the Orca & LA Kings. I was hoping to see the northern most team in the trending down but you can't have everything.
