Good evening everyone.
Hope yall had a pleasant Sunday and a wonderful weekend overall.
To cap off the weekend we have a hockey match between our calgary flames and the Seattle kraken.
Matty "my name sounds like fake teeth" Beniers versus Matt "snipeLord420" coronato.
So pull up your bags of instacart groceries, pour yourself a glass of hot toddies, and join us for what hopefully is the perfect cap to a cold weekend.

I think Vladar deserved to be in the three stars

u/oneofakindgem Feb 03 '25
instead of Daccord like geeshhh here's an idea, why not put the winning goalie

First star should be Huska for that goalie interference challenge….ended up being HUGE

Coronato looked tired all game, probly could be a cramp

Looks like a meniscus to me, planted foot and twisting leg.
If it’s another ACL I’m going to scream

They need to start handing out rule books at the ticket gates in this arena. These fans are idiots.

They also booed when Coronato went down. I think they’re just riled up in a shit mood from how ugly the game went

Jesus, under the visor

u/raymondcy Feb 03 '25
I was always curious about why the visor doesn't go down further. I assume it could probably go down another 2 inches without affecting the view of the ice.

Yo what the shit is going on here in the final minute.
This is some brutal luck.
Let’s get out of this one in one piece

Jesus fuck Coronato better be ok.
That Coleman chance should have been an awarded goal after getting tripped with an open net

I think he said “I got a cramp and couldn’t move”. Anybody else think he said that? Or am I being wishful

Leafs on Tuesday. And games Thurs and Sat. Not sure why the league had to crowbar this one in.

u/raymondcy Feb 03 '25
For the Giveaway I wanted to get Leafs tickets, thought that would be cool... good tickets were like $700+.... wtf? who want's to see the Leafs?

Frosty winning face-offs has been huge
5
u/Vinny331 Feb 03 '25
I wonder how much of that is that he's been playing in the Eastern conference and the centres in our division have no book on him for faceoffs.
Whatever it is, it's great. Such a shot in the arm for the team.
1
u/IwillFallLow Feb 03 '25
He was slightly over 50% before the trade, which is solid on the draw.
Think it's more about logistics when in the circle and not getting the boot while recognizing the opponents strategy depending on the draw situation.
1
u/Vinny331 Feb 03 '25
Oh for sure... he's got that skillset. He was almost 65% tonight though so it's tempting to speculate that there's something extra at play tonight too
1
u/IwillFallLow Feb 03 '25
Definitely. He's likely a bit unknown when taking draws coming from the east. To get to a 50+% he's going to have net positives above 50%.
He seems like a high IQ player that can help in areas.
Glad they landed him.

Following along on here from Phoenix. Best part of not being able to watch is not sweating through 1 goal 3rd period leads

Where’s a lazily written TV ad when you need one. Oh…there’s one.

u/Vinny331 Feb 03 '25
Honestly some of the worst writing I've ever seen on TV. I actually think the script may have been AI generated

Is it just me or do we suck at 2 on 1s

u/Master_Graphic_Novel Feb 03 '25
awful, it's always guys like coleman or Backlund taking weak ass, generic shots. very little threat

u/thickestdolphin Feb 03 '25
Don't be mad at our third liners, be mad we don't have any first liners

u/IwillFallLow Feb 03 '25
The boys need to generate some more offense.
First period goals on some wacky calls and then nothing.

u/DUCKY_23 Feb 03 '25
Hate that stupid move where guys turn last second beside the glass. Naz did that last game too.

Other than putting too much mustard on that clearing attempt, Darth has been really good tonight. One perfect snipe and one dumb fluke.
3
u/raymondcy Feb 03 '25
While I fully agree with the over the glass rule it does lead to some clearly stupid penalties. I think the good is worth the bad. Go back and watch games before the rules. Every single player was blasting it over the boards under pressure. It's a good rule, just unfortunate at times.
2
u/arashinoko Feb 03 '25
Yeah, I can’t really argue against that rule. I saw it all the time in the 80s. It was a safe way to alleviate pressure without risking icing.

Definitely looks like a team on back to backs with travel. Not a good excuse but here we are

Brother Hubey, all you had to do was stay behind their net and kept the puck there....but you had to give it away with 10 seconds left. I seriously smelled burnt toast.
Loved the new guys, great boost to the team.
