travel_dude Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Not a lot of change at practice today. Same Bat time. Same Bat channel. Pelletier probably gets sent down after the Seattle game, to save cap space. #Flames at practice Wednesday: Dube-Lindholm-Toffoli Lucic-Kadri-Huberdeau Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman Pelletier-Lewis-Duehr Hanifin-Andersson Zadorov-Weegar Mackey-Stone Tanev not practicing. Ruzicka and Ritchie skating as d-men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the B2B games this week, we will likely see Ruzicka come in for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not as bad as Pacioretty blowing out his achilles after having surgery on it. Or like Josh Norris needs surgery again on same spot. Both players coming back too early.

Yeah I would agree with that, my hope is to see Pelts and him at the same time. Not sure if the coach agrees though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Gilbert recalled. I believe he is suspended for one more game in the AHL, which doesn't affect NHL playing. 7th D at best, but we might need to sub him in for the B2B set.

travel_dude Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Markstrom gets CHI again as the starter. Yikes, keep the leash short. Vladar starts in Seattle I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 4 goal league, not a 3-2 league. Markstrom still has a sub-900 SA%, but we could have had wins in games with the extra goal. We are shooting about 30+ shots in almost every game, but are scoring little. Yeah, it's tough when your goalie lets in 3 on 20 or so shots, but give him a lead to work with.

In general a stat like that isnt good anyway but when you factor in that usually 1 sometimes 2 of those 3 goals look stoppable then it gets tough to swallow. Sure Marky has been left out to dry with breakaways and such but its the "shoulda had it" ones people remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Marky has been left out to dry with breakaways and such but its the "shoulda had it" ones people remember. And sometimes it just comes down to make the next save. Markstrom isn't alone in letting in the next one. That has been the case for years. Smith Talbot Elliott What I notice about this team is that we always come back with the line that scored. Regardless of circumstances for the goal. Many, many teams do that, but we also seem to lose momentum immediately after a goal. Instead of putting the foot to the floor, we come back with rolling 4. We seem to be gun shy to shorten the bench. Playing the lines that are pushing the right way. Not the top 9, but whomever is pushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taz89 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Marky starting + Tanev missing = disaster waiting to happen. Hope i am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Vladar has been giving opportunities to seize the net and hasn't exactly run with it so I don't really get the constant complaining about the goaltending. I get the record is great but Columbus went to OT in part due to him. He's hasn't made this decision easy on the coaching staff. The Flames don't have a number one right now so they are managing their goalies accordingly. Makes perfect sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markstrom (last 12 games 12 starts) 5 wins, 5 losses, 1 OTL, 1 no decision Vladar (last 12 games. 11 starts) 9 wins, 0 losses and 3 OTL. Really it comes down to W's. Who is giving you the best chance. Who can steal a game. So far neither goalie is stealing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Tanev skating in his usual spot today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted February 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Also notice that only Pelletier and Gilbert assigned to Flames. No Duehr. I think that is more because they feel they need an extra D over an extra F. With Ritchie back, there isn't really an extra roster spot for the 14th F. I am sensing that Sutter has no faith in Mackey now, since they already have a 7th D-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it was around Kane being a D-bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
