Here for Calgary Flames hockey banter
This week will play a major role in determining the fate of the #Flames this season. It will impact how they operate at the deadline and their playoff odds.

Anaheim and Detroit visit the dome before Calgary heads to Seattle: six very possible points.

On the latest 32 Thoughts podcast episode, Friedman mentions #Flames’ Dan Vladar as a potential trade target for #GoSensGo with Ullmark out of the lineup, but mentions CGY’s position in the playoff race as a possible deterrent.

Mikael Bscklund does NOT make the cut for Team Sweden alongside #Flames teammate Andersson.

However, former Flame Elias Lindholm, has been named to the roster.

I’m no NHL brain, but I’d have taken Backs > Lindholm based on recent performance.

I'm still in transition mode from Twitter to Bluesky. As such, I'm not as active here [yet] as I'd like to be and have missed some key Calgary #Flames topics. Bundling it into an easy-to-read thread here:

A lack of discipline cost the #Flames in Detroit. They had momentum very early on and threw it away w/ THREE consecutive penalties. In OT, after tying it up in the 3rd, they fell shorthanded.

Dreadful O-zone pressure, a continued lack of scoring, & failure to capitalize on the PP also hurt them.

That is an INSANE too many men call to make in overtime. WOW. #Flames #LGRW

The points are not be piling up yet, but Connor Zary may be becoming the #Flames' best forward before our eyes. His game is rounding out nicely and with growing confidence, we're seeing more frequent offensive flashes and line-driving ability.

Make that back-to-back-to-back penalties. Brutal.
#Flames
#Flames in early trouble with back-to-back penalties (although at least one of those calls were questionable). They NEED to stay out of the box. Even if they're not getting scored on, PKs kill momentum, especially in a game with a good start like tonight.

Here's an NHL stat you don't see every day:

The Nashville Predators have the best PK% in the league through 22 games, 90.5%.

The same Preds have the second-worst points percentage and sit tied for second from the bottom in the NHL standings.

#Smashville: Best PK, but still struggling to win.

In case you’re not on the other site:

Jonathan Quick gifted Dustin Wolf a goalie stick after tonight’s game!

Quick is Wolf’s idol, so this is very cool of him!

Zibanejad plays hockey in slow motion.

Puck-carrying: molasses.

Forecheck: concrete drying around his skates.

Backcheck: under water.

Players are going to wear visors in the CHL and then toss their bird cages and bubbles back on for NCAA hockey. Ridiculous.

That or full-face protection is going to be required in Canadian junior leagues.

Interesting development with #Flames' lines at practice.

I was a fan of Coronato's opportunity alongside 11 and 20, but this juggle appears to be an effort by Huska to spark some scoring. Analysis in replies:
#Flames new-look lines at practice:

Watch the Bruins reunite Lindholm and Zadorov with their old friend, Darryl Sutter.

“Burn It To the Ground” goes so hard as the #Flames’ walk-out track. 🔥

Well done on that fan vote, C of Red. 🤝

Via Dhaliwal on X:

“Hearing JT Miller leave is about a player who needs a re-set.

“Needs time and space.”

#Canucks
Not a #Canucks fan, but hoping everything is okay in terms of health and family for Miller.
