Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
Yeah seems fair, instead of meeting at a half way point between the two Alberta teams and Vancouver let's put it at the halfway point between Calgary and Edmonton.

flames coach gulutzan hires Paul Jerrard, Utica's assistant coach for the past 3 seasons.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

I will give them that the refs sucked. It was pretty horrid. At times it felt like they were doing everything they could to help the Oilers inaugurate their new rink with a win.
That penalty shot they gave to McDavid was soft, and it was pure horseshit that they didn't give the Oilers a penalty on the play immediately before where Gaudreau walked through and got hooked even worse than McDavid did on his partial breakaway.
It's very obvious that they are adjusting to a new coach still.....especially Gaudreau. There were at least 3 occasions where he gained the zone on the PP and tried a reverse pass up to the point and the defenseman was in the middle of the blueline instead of along the boards for the pass.
The are right about Elliott being terrible. That was an abysmal first game with a new team, maybe the worst I've seen from any goaltender. Talbot wasn't much better at the other end, the Flames just don't have the scoring punch that Edmonton boasts.
Gaudreau holding out has hurt team chemistry. He's a top line player and they have gone through training camp and the pre-season without him even around the locker room. He's not an $8M player, and both he and his agent should be drawn and quartered for thinking so. How many times did Calgary try a long stretch pass to Gaudreau on the Oiler's side of center? He probably had to be introduced to Brian Elliott between periods just so he knew who his goalie was.
Calgary's blueline is actually worse than it was last year. The strength of it was augmented by the fact that Hartley demands that his forwards all come back and play hard defense. Gully has a different philosophy and it will expose some of the holes in Calgary's blueline.
No idea why the didn't pull Elliott after the first period. Still clueless regarding the same question after 40 minutes. And again no idea what they were thinking after the 6th goal with 11 minutes to play in the third.
I really can't see our season opener going worse than the Lames. (Knocks on wood)

Man they suck at that site.
I would to see them finish 9th in conference, while Nuck's finish 8th and win the first round.

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
Considering how much the mongoloid farm complains about the officiating I'm surprised that Wideman is being brought down like a Cessna in tonight's GDT.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.
I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
Did anyone catch Kelly Hrudey in the HNIC second period intermission of Canucks/Flames Saturday?
They showed a clip of a penalty called on Wideman a few nights previously (I'm guessing at Hrudey's request).
The other three on the panel all agreed that there is no rumoured conspiracy against Wideman by the officials.
Then Hrudey:
"All bias aside, for 6 or 7 games after Wideman got suspended, the refs were punishing the Flames."
I blame cow fumes...

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
They just did a lifetime ban on a poster there since 2004 because he fun of the site. Good natural fun, way to go Bingo you never seem to disappoint.
A few more loses and that site will implode.
I think they win a couple now, the team is better than their current record.

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
LOL, rating their defence, just behind SJ and Nashville but in the mix with Chicago and LA, but ahead of St Lou and Tampa.

Giordano-Brodie
Jokipakka-Hamilton
Kulak-Engelland
Should rank around third behind
Vlasic-Braun
Martin-Burns
Schlemko-Dillon
Josi-Subban
Ekholm-Ellis
Carle-Weber
though that puts them right in the mix with:
Keith-Hjalmarsson
Kempny-Seabrook
Forsling-Campbell
Muzzin-Doughty
McNabb-Martinez
Forbort-Greene
and IMO better than:
Bouwmeester-Pietrangelo
Edmundson-Parayko
Bortuzzo-Shattenkirk
Hedman-Stralman
Sustr-Garrison
Coburn-Koekkoek

I disagree, they're actually lucky to even have a point.Reefer2 wrote: I think they win a couple now, the team is better than their current record.
The may very well only get 2 points in their next 5 games, my guess would be the Canes game.
I've gone on record as saying I think they falter this season. They overachieved last year IMO, if people think we have secondary scoring issues just check out the Flames depth. And Elliot has looked terrible thus far! Not to mention their defense isn't going to help him much.
Sure Goodro can stick handle really fast and really loudly, but teams are learning how to keep him off the scoresheet. That even happened last year on the road when teams had the last change. Keep him to the perimeter, take away passing lanes, and watch him stick handle like he's going through 100 pucks.

Re: From Bountiful to Ponoka
I would say 1 pt in an OT loss to the Canes. Gulutzan will be fired by the end of November...Aaronp18 wrote:2ptsTopper wrote:Flames upcoming sched after Buffalo tonight.
