Undefeated.
Tied for the highest scoring team in the NHL.
Hank tied for the league lead in points.
Tanev tied as the highest scoring d-man in the league.
Edler hovering near the bottom of the league in +/-.
All is as it should be.

Undefeated. Tied for the highest scoring team in the NHL. Hank tied for the league lead in points. Tanev tied as the highest scoring d-man in the league. Edler only -2. All is as it should be.

Pretty sure that Edler is on pace to destroy the all time minus record.

So we just beat a front runner for McDavid, semi-convincingly. I'm interested to see what that does to the crazy negativity that's been on these boards since Shink and Jensen were sent down. The only thing that I'm sure of is Vantel complaining about Daniel shooting instead of dekeing on his breakaway.

To be honest, I would prefer to save BC film than endure the kind of season that would get us McDavid.






Edit: Eichel though...

You do know it was the AHL Flames right?

I found the game boring and slept through halfof it. Next game I expect the same . Let's ee how they match up against a NHL team.

I think the Flames kept it close and came close a few times to tying it.

I think the Flames are one of the worst teams in the league so I'm not taking away much from tonight. But the win still counts for 2 and it's nice to see some of the boys getting straight onto it and on the scoresheet.

Finally.

I know its only one game and all but i was pleasantly surprised to see Tanev hop in on the rush on more then one occasion.

If he can work on his shot he might become a truly versatile Defender

He reminds me a lot like Hamhuis

I suspect when we play a real team, Tampa, we all might not be as happy…I gotta say though, it's more fun watching a game when you're half gunned.

It might have only been the Flames, but that team playes to keep it close, and they will beat some "contenders" this season. Couple of bonehead plays, but overal I thought they played pretty well. And I won $50, so it was a good night!

Do you think that Canucks v Tampa will be like Flames v Canucks, only we'll be the "Flames"?

I think the Canucks will be more competitive than that. Just need to stop with the horrible turn overs right in front of their net.

Easily solution - don't play Edler

Hansen had by far the worst game, trade his ass!!!

Got to feel sorry for Tavev who has to partner/play with such a liability.

Hopefully it gets better for him, he couldn't help that Hansen decided to fall down while he was pinching, which allows the 2 on 1 and goal…which Miller should have had BTW.

Yeah, he needs to be better.

I liked how active the D were in the O zone, some good chances generated. Obviously that comes with some risk, a la the Flames second goal.

Edit, I guess it was the first goal? The 5 hole that Miller should have stopped.

The game last night was far more entertaining than any game last season ( with the exception, of course, of the moral victory in LA )!!

It's the first game that I've sat and watched in its entirety for a long time (not counting the one game I saw live)

This team sucks.
