Todd Cordell: Flames2, Wild 1: Five observations from a grind-it-out win in Minnesota

Good blog todd.
I total you agree Rittich earned and has proven that he should be #1. Saying that smith is vary valuable to the team. To have a 1a and 1 b tandem is fantastic! Moving forward... moreover Rittich is more then likely the goalie of the future . So why wait till next year!! Smith will be gone after this year unless he Is willing to take a reduced roll and pay cut.. other then that Bye bye!!

I’ve had enough of Mangiapane, never been high on him and he shouldn’t be on the third line. Constantly gets pushed around and produces zero. At least Dube added speed and created chances.

Wouldn’t mind even seeing what Rychel could do with an opportunity, would also add another edge.

Are you sure you’re not watching Ryan? Mang produces chances and he’s a dog on the back check. Ryan just has to have someone look at him and he gives the puck away

Agreed. Our worst forwards game in game out are always Neal/Ryan. At least Neal moved his feet for most of the game yesterday. I hope he continues to atleast put forth an effort.

Mangiapane is quick and tenacious and causes turnovers. Ryan and Neal do neither.

Anyways, I hope Dube is ready come playoff time for the Flames, because we could use him on the 3rd/4th line. He was better than a lot of players most nights, but he got unlucky with taking some dirty hits/shots, which i think made him a little gunshy. We also miss Frolik more than I thought we would, and of course we need Backlund healthy if we are to finish high up in the standings.

Guess tre heard me, mange back in the A where he belongs.

Anyone up for 3 fights again?!


Just kidding, I’m good for now. We have nobody on the defence or offence we need fighting right now. Just play a structured game in front of what probably is going to be Mike Smith and I’ll be happy with that.

Yay, Rittich is in to win!! 👏🙌👍

Kid is amaze balls!

Peters has done a great job with getting players to hustle. If you’re not showing the effort you’ll get bumped down the lineup and benched

And Lindy oh and gio

Hamilton 10 points -11
Hanafin 15 points +6

I think Hamilton is doing his best Bouwmeester-to-Calgary impression.

Great post Irish!

Always happy to help gentlemen!!


Edit: lol, they scored 2 seconds after I hit submit.

Coach peters should be putting Neil on top power play time. stick him up on the top line. Basicly give him every chance to get a goal and get him going.
