Ryan Man Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I've decided to work from home today so I can tune in and see a bit more of the game than usual, given it's an 11:30 am game here today - Midday when they play at the dome. Rocking the home Chucky today as the away Johnny hasn't been of much luck for me. 🔥 🔥 🔥 GFG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 This is the type of game where if you want to be a great player you need to be the catalyst in games like these. Gaudreau and Tkachuk have not been very good in this series and those are the 2 players I have my eye on tonight. Can’t be a franchise player if you don’t put the team on your back in key moments.

He's 100% sure that this is Sutter's go to decision. I don't really know. I like Ritchie but only as a 4th line crash and bang type. Not a good fit on the 2nd line.

Not sure why we haven't seen this before. i get why they went away from it, it was too top heavy. But since the acquisitions I think they have the depth to pull it off. kind of late to experiment now. There must be something wit the idea of Dube-Jankrok and Toffoli Sutter doesn’t like. And I’m all fairness he could be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been "okay" but haven't converted their chances. The first line is still the only line that's consistently dangerous. The middle 6 can't generate anything... and out played by the 4th line most of the time. If we lose this series, then I think the top line gets blame (as they should) but shouldn't get as much blame as the middle 6. Please give us some secondary scoring.

Got another one (away) from the Iggy era, so a bit more modern, but that slash was ugly. First real name jersey I bouught was a JH one. Old style black C. I still like the black C version. Gonna be warm, but I guess it's home Johnny tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tkachuk can start chirping goalies for a change, but only if they start scoring on Ott. Or guys that are scoring rom their side. Otherwise do the talking with your stick. Johnny is setting the table, but can't just be two guys on the line. Where is Tkachuk on the PP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give us some secondary scoring. i see it differently and so does the data. Top line has had moments but haven’t generated near the volume and quality they did during the regular season and haven’t been very consistent. Middle six has generated decent volume of chances just no finish. both would be great but I’m also a firm believer that I’m order to win a series you need your best players to be that. Hasn’t been the case so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my observation. I would have liked to have seen Lewis Backland Toffoli (Lewis would set the other two straight) Listened to the Big Show (usually don't because they pile on a bit much at times) and they brought up the one player they felt was not playing anywhere to a new gear. Backlund. They weren't being insulting, but he's the longest player Flames player we have. He's been in enough of the post season disappointment to be one of the guys that has to start taking the team on his back. Pardon the pun. He's been a killer in the regular seaosn for years, has brought along players like Tkachuk and Mangiapane. But he's never added a gear to his post season game. Yes, the top line has to do more. They are the finishers, but Backlund is responsible for the 2nd most minutes among C's. AAnd always near tops in ice time. If Toffoli and Mange aren't going, you have to put part of the blame on him. Toffoli has had success playing in important games in the playoffs. 14 points in 22 games last year. 4 points in 7 games with VAN. But he's relied on C's and other players to help pull the weight.

robrob74 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sportsnet has the worst playoff coverage! Get some pregame in? Hockey wants to grow the game but there’s no storylines or lead up? Just poor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't really a "direct" hit to the head though... but definitely blindside hit to the high shoulder on unsuspecting player that just got rid of the puck. We need to stay cool and respond on the scoresheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
