I believe he had 60 points last season and 26 this season, but don't quote me.


Heads up all it's a 5pm start. So almost Game Time.

Sounding like Gio will be back, so three new guys on the back end.

Like that Stone isn't around.

Geo is out and Ward has paired up the two new guys together?? That seems like an odd decision.

Oh great a Boston player tribute to pump them up, exactly what we need lol.

You are correct, 60 points last season, 26 so far this season. And counting....

Makes sense to me. One line that is unfamiliar with each other vs two.

Fair enough, i was along the lines of new paired with regular till familiar with system. Good first, not giving Boston much from what I saw.

What's to know, dump in over the red line on 5vs5, if on the PP, chat with Rittich till a forward passes it back to you from the red line.

Takes more time off the clock that way.

Do me a favor, I don't like the Bruins.

New guy gets on the board, a valuable 2 points against a good team, hands Rask his first home loss of the season, Backlund has 7 pts in his last four, Monahan has 5 in his last four, Johnny has 11 in his last nine, and, Chucky has 12 in his last ten.

BOOM!!! Nice win. Glad Backs got a couple to rub it in Marchy's face. I was hoping Monny could get that hatty but I will take them points for sure.

I didn't catch the entire game. I saw Johnny try five-hole once, heard about another, did he go for three?

Absolutely! Strong win, full team effort, 60 minutes of hockey, kept their composure in the face of Bruins being...Bruins. Really solid performance all around I thought.

I haven't seen that much clutching and grabbing since the last Bruins game. How the refs don't call that is beyond me. Pretty sure it would get whistle down every time if Calgary was playing Vancouver.

So I'm not the only one who saw that. I don't like to say anything after such a dominant win, but that was crap most of the game. Zebras had yellow and brown sunglasses on....

I just don't understand how they miss such obvious stuff, every game it seems. Like Rittich getting his helmet pried off his head with a stick against Detroit, na, he's only 6'3", not high enough.

One thing in the game I really appreciated: when Tkachuk lost an edge going to net, went in, knocked Rask down and took net right off....Rask bends down to help Chuckie, make sure he is ok...after play gets whistled down on the net off, Matthew goes by and gives Rask a tap on the pads, "thanks" ....good to see sportsmanship like that. It is, after all is said, just a game.

I noticed that as well and thought "good on Rask".

Also saw the guy with the Boston jersey get the puck out of the netting and give it to a kid wearing a Flames jersey.

After Flames beat Bruins 5-2? Desperate? Hardly. I still hate Ducks. But if they won tonight, hey, it's hockey right?

Such a big game. If we play a full 60 and stay out of the box like we have been lately, we should be good. Fingers crossed the guys who have been finding their groove keep on keeping on..
