I watched it. Greasy is pretty! He totally waited it out. Patient and greasy...

The only guy who can't score tonight is James Neal.

You gotta wonder what's going through his head. He has had a few chances too.

When your team scores six goals, but you still lose by three...do you get the participation ribbon?
I don't recall ever seeing a 15 goal game....

Johnny's last goal was sweet, made the D look stupid and dropped it in the 5 hole.
Good game, and a heck of a comeback from being down.

Well, McDavid and Draisaitl are still better than all the flames forwards combined. That's what an Oilers fan told me today....

Johnny, our team's best player, now has a better +/- than every single player on the Oilers. 
Just thought I'd throw that out there, you know who you are...

Mike Smith has just as many points this season as Zach Kassian.
Dillon Dube,(sent down to the ahl) has as many points as Lucic

I will re-post this for ya!
Calgary has had some crazy high scoring this year. Other than the 9-1 loss, it has been relatively good to really good. You guys just past the Ducks for 1st in the Pacific. The Ducks diff right now is -13. So on a whole if you look at an entire team then the +/- usually corrects itself. What I was saying is that if your top scorer is on the top line and is a minus, then it is tough a situation. What the Flames have right now is secondary scoring from the would be checking line, which is balancing out Gaudreau's even rating.
If Gaudreau wasn't on the plus side right now there would be something seriously wrong.

It was late.... The lights in the Ranchmans during Stampede are a little different.
No fault of my own.

What's going on there, not clicking, signed the deal and isn't giving the effort, is on the 3rd/4th line and not getting the chances?

He seems to float around and never get actively involved in puck retrieval, he almost never seems to win the race to the puck. He curls to the left and the puck goes right, or vice versa almost every time.
He actually looked ok last night on a few shifts, he had some chances just couldn't bury them. I think the rest of the team makes him look slow, and he probably feels it.
I still have faith he can turn it around. In reality we don't need him to be hot now, I would rather him go through a 10 game stretch later down the road where he gets 5 or 6 goals when some of our sticks go cold. He shoots the puck so well it is bound to come if he can get himself in a position to receive it and get a shot off. I actually think Mangipane (Sp?) has added a little jump to Neals stride the last couple of games.

No idea what so ever what is wrong with JN.....
But it needs to change.
We are a good team. With him going, we might be a great team.

You guys wanted to trade Brodie before, now he's your best buddy. You're just present tense fans.

I don't see anyone speaking of him in the last few pages... But he is getting back to the star he was before. Working with Geo has made all the difference. He sucked when paired with Harmonic. And Harmonic is doing better as well.
Coaching change and getting rid of Hamilton seems to have worked

If he works his trade value back up, I would trade him in a heartbeat if I felt it would make the team better.
