The first line needs to (frank)ing step up. I don't know what the hell it is with the Flames and (frank)ing game 2's and (frank) I hate that pecker head Corey wienerhead Perry what a mofo piece of poop.

Watching all our players finish their checks including smaller players like Dube makes it extra frustrating to watch Monahan forecheck like he's on a picnic stroll.
Lay those dmen out just once please...

Good comeback to tie it up!

(frank)ing terrible change by Looch. I was yelling at the TV when I saw him trying to change when the stars had possession in the neutral zone. He should know better. 😑



You're very Welcome FLAMIN' MAN... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




You guys should start Big SIV Dave next game. Or do you want to spot Dallas another couple of goals again today??

Man, that was a painful game to watch. The refs are absolute morons out there. Missed a spear, miss a check from behind, call Gio for interference when he's the one on his ass in crease, they were looking for a way to call back Forbort's goal, called back Mangy's goal despite him being mobbed on the way down, don't call a penalty after taking back Mangy's goal despite him being mobbed on his way down...

It was endless last night. Rinaldo better be back in tonight, he better take a little run at Seguin after the crap they pulled on Chucky (who, let's face it, was going to face his comeuppins at some point).

Johnny was worse than invisible last night. Lindholm too, apart from his pass to Benny. Mony at least threw his weight around a bit, but the Dallas style of D is just shutting these guys out. Give Dallas credit there, but Johnny for one is not fighting through any of it.

Garbage game, they better come back better tonight.

Suck it up Flames fans the series is tied 1-1. Starting to sound like Jets fans complaining about the refs in round 1.

At the start of last season JG was taking hits to make plays. Couple times he got his bell rung but always bounced back up. Then that stopped. Now he shy's away from any sort of contact.

I understand he is not a player you want to taking big hits but he has to step it up and take some risks. Too easy to play against a guy when you know he is going to avoid contact.

Im concerned Chucky may miss this game due to concussion protocol. If he does, I would move Gaudreau down with Backlund & Magpie & see if they can wake him up.
I would leave the 3rd line intact. Benny played a different game when they had him on the top line & he is his best crashing with Looch & bringing the best out of Dube.
I would be tempted to try Ryan on RW shift Lindholm to centre & shift Monahan to LW & just see if we can get any lightning from them. 4th line shift Janko back to centre, with Reider & either put Czarnik on that line or bring back Rinaldo & tell him to go after that fcking puke face Perry.

If we dress Rinaldo, we are not winning the game.

I agree I think Chucky might be out this game.

Completely agree Duran. Something changed with Johnny and he is way too easy to play against. That's why they are hemmed in their own zone majority of the game, Johnny can't make a play at the boards, he's too scared

This has been going on for a year and a half.... JG has become a PP and 3 on 3 overtime specialist. Teams lean on him and refuse to give him the offensive blue line anymore. Harsh but last night he looked scared and the puck was like a grenade on his stick. So much for my pre game prediction last night!

I think this is the sort of series that would be good for Rinaldo. Its not fast hockey and although Dallas has firepower I think the slower game favors Rino's exceptional hockey IQ. This series will be a grind and I think Rino would make some plays.

I am biased though as I like the positive elements he brings enough to overlook the negative.

There might be no choice other than Rinaldo if Chucky is out. Hell, it's not like Janko is really doing anything out there either.

Robinson's on the taxi squad - thoughts on firing him in there if Chucky is out tonight? Or Quine? Maybe both if Janko is in the pressbox?

Frankly, I think someone's gonna have to settle a score with Benn tonight regardless of who's in the lineup.

I can usually see where refs are coming from, but the amount of stuff that they missed last night was pretty egregious.

I hope Bennett stays on the top line, he's been our best player.

The reffing wasn't that greatest, but flames.were still being badly outplayed most of the game

I heard Czar has left the bubble for family matters. No to Rinaldo, if Chucky can’t go I’d put a more skilled player in, Phillips, Gadwin, Quine.......

Man, I've done nothing but defend Johnny over the past year but these past two games against Dallas have been terrible. He's gotta do something. When he gets the puck it's like he's handling a hand grenade.

Gio has to step up, too. He's looked like a 36 year old defenseman this entire postseason.

Like to see Ward shuffle the lines, move Johnny into Chuckys spot and Dube to the top line.

Are we aloud to pass the puck to each other? Or just dump and chase.
