That initial steal though. Heads up play by Lindholm as he caught Rantanen playing it too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Was Kylington out on the OT? I thought he was in on the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get the matchups they want so gotta hand it to them. They tried and a good solid backup game by Vladar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Excellent day. Flames win. VAN beats TOR. MTL beats EDM and batters Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 EDM dropping out of playoffs quickly. Dallas and NAS ahead of them with games in hand. VAN catching up to them, but have more games played. Next game for them is a must win, so they will be scrappy. Bwahaha, I mean dirty. Kane can face the wrath of Guddy. Kylington or Ras will be tasked with McDavid. Both know how to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheersMan Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice win. MacKinnon was lined up against JG to start the OT and he had lots to tell Johnny. I'd be curious to know what that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 It was a nice win but that third period... we hung on for dear life. We bent but didn't break... But we don't want to play like that. Can't give the Avs 15-minutes of sustained pressure and hope to win. My feelings are, the path to the Cup will go through Colorado so we need to find an answer right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to find Toffoli someone to get him the puck. go: Mangiapane, Backlund, Toffoli Coleman, Monahan, Dube lucic, Ruzicka, Lewis i think when given room with better skaters, Toffoli is able to skate with it and change up to make room for himself, but with Monahan and Lucic, he can’t do that. a lot of the lines got worked. The first line was really the only one going so it looks like there’s a need for more. Can’t sustain that game for 7 if we face them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually see things the same way as you but I have to put the brakes on this one. Backlund isn’t going to help Toff. Backlund isn’t helping Coleman or Mange - offensively. He’s not the solution - he needs to be pushed back to 3C, and we need some new blood to partner with Toff. Unless we’re willing to give Dube a twirl at C with Toff and Mony on the wings, I don’t see an internal solution. 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I can see what you’re saying. Maybe the switch will cause an extra step or jump like it did when Mangiapane was added to Coleman and Backlund. if anyone is injured, it might be best to go on IR as it would create cap room. While we can’t afford a Tanev injury, or anyone to that affect as a player, but the cap savings allow us to trade for an impact C. I don’t worry want or wish for an injury, I just get that a lot of these guys play through it. While, maybe an injury might end a season… so dilemma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutter loves to roll 4 lines, so I was a bit converned about AVS using 2 lines. Then again they did dress 7 D, one being the guy to fight Lucic. Dube played a team low 6 minutes and change. Knocked over and it generated a rush the other way. Too bad, might not see the Oilers. Ruzie should be in Monday. Don't really need Ritchie, but Dube will likely sit again.

conundrumed Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Well that was a superfun hockey night. Damn 10pm starts. We were ripped by the end of the 2nd.lol What a game. Big thanks to the Flames for having a team that is a really easy sell to my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I should alter my comments a bit. It's not so much just Hanifin, but LD in general. Kylinton and Zaddy both had their moments. I think part of the reason is that we have two defensively suspect LW. Lucic and Gaudreau. Both are behind the play in the D-zone. Johnny forces the play from the guy he is coverong but will never block a shot (he shouldn't). Lucic is too slow and can only cover a player on the boards.
