Rittich must have put on a show, only letting in one on that many shots! How did the 3M line look tonight?

I only managed the 3rd period and Rittich was amazing.. Shades of Kipper TBH.
They can't keep playing like this. They have to get better as a team. Hopefully they find it.

Agreed...good to see Rittich play well.

Interesting, TSN placed the Flames 16th on the power rankings yet they are top 10 in the NHL, have more pts than 7 of the teams ranked ahead of them, are the only team to have beaten the Predators, just beat the 2nd ranked team, have one of the best goal differentials in the league, and have no significant injuries.

Their power rankings are questionable at best.

Give us some stable goaltending and clean up our blue line and this team is a contender.
God I still hate Brodie...at least now they (sportscasters) are really highlighting how bad he is playing.

Naturally, TO is in top spot as you pointed out in your TSN post. TSN = Toronto Sport Network. Can anyone say "Homer"?

They were probably even farther off on their predictions after teams played one game. But to have played 6 or 7 games already and be that far off is crazy!!!
Wait till Xmas break.

I would like to congratulate the flames on their 2018-2019 Stanley cup.
First team in the league to ever win it in the first 10 games of the season.

Defense is worse than last year (if that's possible), big question mark on goaltending, and aside from Hamonic, not much toughness.
Sounds like a real powerhouse to me

That was a brutal 2nd period, Brodie needs to be a healthy scratch next game. Maybe they can pull their heads out for the third?

Rittich played well again, but again, we got outshout by a wide margin.

Hamonic is expected to return next week and go on the road trip. Leave Brodie at home. This is what should happen to Brodie:

This is horrible. One of the best players in the league gets hammered from behind into the boards with his head down.. No call.. But whats worse.. NO RESPONSE. JG has been run over a bunch of times this year and these guys just let it happen. Then at the very end of the game someone from MTL throws a hit at the buzzer and sits there and laughs.. NO RESPONSE... Jesus H Christ. This whole team needs to step up or its another wasted season.

Rhett Warrener was saying on the radio this morning that Little Johnny goes down a little to easy, maybe players are tired of it ! His words, not mine. On Calgary radio to boot.

I wouldn't agree with that. He has been pulled 2 times now by the concussion watchers.

Smith. 5 goals in 20 shots. That's another solid .750 save percentage. What a performance. And it's not all the defense' fault...
Smith needs to go worse than Brodie.

Wasn't holding my breath for a win tonight, but thought would be a better game than this. Brutal effort, No defense, no goalie. What down 6 and Smith now getting the hook?? We are in trouble, like I said in pre-season goalie position is going to kill us.
