medatswhoP Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 One of the better games the Canes have played all year they mentioned on their broadcast vs. one of our worst showings at the same time. Take the loss, throw the tape out, shrug it off and be prepared better next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Where Ras was tripped on the break, they didn't seem to think that tripping a guy was tripping. They would have awarded a penalty shot if it was against McDavid. And Kane would have fought Slavin for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Some excuses for you. 3rd game in 4 nights (days) with travel. No practice time since they got new players. Lost 2/3 of the Kadri line. I'm not expecting much once they get back home against the AVS, but the following players may be suiting up for that game; Zary, Pospisil and Greer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Good lord the linesmen completely crapped the bed. Needed a good save to stop the clock. Wasn't close. By comp, the one called on Hunt was not offside that they called. This was 5 feet offside by the guy exiting the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 If we get a goal in the next minute or so, we can run the tables to win this game. Not sure I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that's travel tonight, then maybe practice tomorrow? Optional skate maybe. Game evry two days until the 18th. AVS, VGK, MTL (annouing fans) then WAS. Converted touchdown win.

Like a game where Markstrom saves the day, this really didn't provide a lot of info. I hope we get a better read on the team over the next 7 losses. LOL Not a playoff team showing in the last two.

Since the ASG, we are 9-6-0. .600 points % Before the last two lossses we were 9-4-0 .692 points % So, before the last 2 losses (pre TDL) we were winning at a rate that would get us 95 points. 14-6-0 to get in. That more or less is the cutoff. I don't suggest it made us likely to win a round. But now we are looking at needing to win 75% of our games to even hit 94. The realist suggests we would not have been able to keep up winning at .692 The players probably knew they had to win 7 of 10 to get in. Two losses like that makes it closer to impossible. 14-4-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

420since1974 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 After the Tanev and Hanifin trades, I think that all but the most delusional fans are not expecting the Flames to make the play-offs this season. To me, all that is left to determine is does Calgary pick 8th or 16th pre-lottery? I'll never cheer for losses, but I know where I'd like to see them pick.

STL was last in the the conference and went on a complete tear. Pedestrian in January with a 7-6-0 record. Next 13 games 9-4-0. Nothing that happened the rest of the season is an indicator of what we would finish the season like. Hindsight is good, in that you can show a pattern of what happened. It was possible to continue winning like that. Wouldn't guarantee a playoff spot, but puts us in the battle to the last games. The turning point for this team was the Seattle loss. That was the signal that we wouldn't recover. 4 point game. It's why we traded with Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get to a certain point, math is all you have to go on. The only magic number we will have is when we are eliminated. I know it truly is losses by us and wins by team X, or X and Y, but we have 4 home games in 7 days which could seal our fate quick. Lose all 4 and it's virtually impossible to get in. Would need a 14 game winning streak to fininsh the season. Unlikely that any of them we would even be spoilers or important 4 pointers. I am actually happier that we lost 2 in a row, since it makes the next losses less painful. The GM can instruct the coach to start using players in try outs. We have 2 call ups remaining. Bring up Wolf. Call up Grush. Try Oky. Probably won't happen until game 78, but it makes no sense to ruin Markstrom. Him and Mangiapane are our last trade chips for the summer. Give Marky a game against MTL. What is the point of winning another 6 extra games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
