I hope so....but I'm watching him, and I still don't think he looks right, his skating just seems off, if that makes sense.

Is Gio at 70% better than Stone at 120% though?

This Nashville broadcast makes Cassie look like a Hall of Famer.

Good at back checking for sure and had a great hit there.
Anderson man we have the worst puck luck.
Good first just got caught late there. Needed to drop some people there instead of all that chaos. Had good chances, we keep that up it will go in.

No watch some broadcasters on U.S feeds. They are about as bad as the guys that do the Oilers game. Just Brutal.

No, that Oilers play by play guy that yells 'he LETS IT GO!!!!' 80 times a game....he is the worst. By far.

Gene Pun Principe is the absolute worst most embarrassing excuse for a greasy mullet I’ve seen. He gets instant mute button

And here I thought it was going to OT....
Wow, Backlund has been superb since he is back at center. Great power to net and perfect feed to Eat Bread for go ahead. That line is hot!

Dammit. Well...it's a point. Really thought they had that one, played another solid game, but Preds were out for revenge too....

Talk about homers, Backlund is in on every Flames goal, and all three stars are Predators.

The way Backlund played the last few games, why was he on the bench in OT.

I think he has some anger issues... almost whacked Johnny in the head trying to break his stick on the boards.

Anyone notice On the buzzer beater, No yellow shirts on their butts.
Simple rule, last 10-20 sec when up by a goal, you hook, hold, grab, cross check, whatever it takes,
Flames didn’t do that and gave up the win.
And Riddick didn’t hug the post.

Its unfortunate, I thought they played a solid game but agree with you that in the last 30 seconds they lost their composure a bit. As you said, there should have been bodies on the ice, and everybody should have been tied up good, red jerseys draped on yellow, sticks engaged, whatever.
And you could see Rittich's frustration clearly in the OT goal....shame, but they will have to shake it off. I will say that Backlund and that line have given me a fresh hope though, they have totally galvanized the team.

Both teams seem to be taking a bit of a cautious approach so far...mucking up the neutral is boring.

Yup, pretty tight game so far.
I'm okay with that though, I don't really want to try and run and gun with Tampa.

No. Too bad Backs kicked that in....pretty clear though.
