Todd Cordell: G34 Calgary Flames @ Vancouver Canucks: Five things to watch

Switch up the power play for the love of Christ

"The Canucks are not a good team"


As bad as the Canucks are, they're just as good, or almost as good, a team as Calgary when they're totally healthy. What does that say about the Flames?

We're one point behind the supposed superior team with similar numbers in GF and GA. I don't think there's much there beyond Monahan and Gaudreau for a forward group.

Seems like the Canucks are playing above expectations while the Flames are playing below.

But the only thing that counts at the end of the day are points.

GFY Lefty!

I wonder how long Gulutzen lasts if we lose this game.

Canucks have been ahead of the Flames for most of the season, have 2 more ROW'S then the Flames and are a mere 1 point behind the Flames in the Standings after a 4 game losing streak, and could be 1 point ahead tonight. So whats Calgarys excuse. In the sense of the word "team" I argue the Canucks are a better "team" in the truest sense of the word. despite injuries there are equal to Calgary in the Standings? Canucks have better team structure it appears with not as good a goalie, with better goals against and special teams. Does that mean the Canucks are a better"team" and the Flames have perhaps a few better top end players or a healtier roster with better goalie? But not as good a team. I submit the Flames are closer to the Canucks as a team in terms of quality as they are in a rebuild and injured as the Flames fans want to admit. There both non playoff teams. The Flames arnt a contender nor are the Canucks. This isn't the Flames underachieving, or bad luck, there just not a playoff team based on merit same as Canucks.

You can frame it any way you want to, at the end of the day, the two clubs aren't very good beyond a couple of high-end players.

We are gonna kick your sorry asses tonight brother

I hope Virtanen runs over Gaudreau. Not like the Flames have a PP.

Kittrich for sure starter ?
