Thank you Carol.

I had a feeling last nights game would be rusty. I think tonight's effort will be better. I expect crisper passing and finish.

Nine times they’ve given up 40+ shots now this year, surprisingly they’ve won most of those games, Green has to be better because that’s almost 25% of their games. Not sustainable.

Winning tonight would be a big deal because it would be our 1st 5 game winning streak since the 16/17 season.

#Flames projected tonight vs. Van:

Tkachuk-Lindholm-Mangiapane
Gaudreau-Monahan-Backlund
Lucic-Ryan-Dube
Rieder-Jankowski-Frolik

Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Hamonic
Kylington-Andersson

Second line Jonny.

Van's 3rd line should win tonights match up. 3-2 Canucks.

If the team is giving up 40 shots in a night, I highly doubt you are winning unless those shots are from nowhere. I don't remember Marky having to make too many crazy good saves last night.

Something like that

Admittedly I didn’t check quality of shots but it’s still not a good trend, defensively they need to tighten up, if they make the playoffs like that they’ll get killed like Willie Desjardins team in 2015.

USA up 2-0 over Russia heading into the 3rd.

3-1

offensively they need to hold on the puck more.

If they had a good second line, not Pearson Horvat Eriksson, they might be able to

Flames suck, 5-3 Canucks

Markstrom plays better when busy. Crazy that he's won 7 in a row when facing 40+.

#10 for the Americans has great 80’s hockey hair

Thanks Carol!

4-2 Canucks W, and Seahawks also come up big today with a beast mode W

Our hockey ops group in the Czech Republic are really happy to see the development of @Canucks prospects playing at @iihf_wjc.

I wish FA would forget his Twitter password. Some of the stuff he posts is irrelevant or just plain dumb.

Flames suck, 5-3 Canucks
- NorthNuck

That will be a surprise.

I see a hard fought game but 4-2 flames (only because a prolonged Canuck winning streak is unlikely).

But if they do win... I might as well get on the playoffs bandwagon because a tank at this point would be futile.

Boy there are a lot of poopy teams in the league right now...
