Sir_Boagalott Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Well, its 1-0 Flames. It was a good game while it lasted. i.e. Flames are 7-0-1 when they score 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 D'oh, 2-1 Flames. Sweet move by Magiapane. Can't really blame Allen on that one. Romy came to hit, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shot from very close, up at a high angle, the puck glanced off Allen's shoulder and into the top of the net. Down 2-1 after first, but the level of play tonight (and Tuesday) really is significantly better than in the first half-dozen games of the season. And the injury roll is still just as bad.

DON Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Could be worse. Chiarot-Kulak-Romanov all 7+minutes in the 1st; Petry 6:14? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the puck glanced off Allen's shoulder and ricocheted off the post and into the net. Either way, it was a hard to make and well placed shot for sure, that should be considered a highlight reel goal. I agree, they look a lot better tonight than in most other games this season. Maybe the Habs can give the Flames their 1st reg loss in games they score 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hmm, a too many men penalty? Was that not an intentional offside too? I had small hopes of a 5 on 3 on that play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 I thought it was a high-skill goal by Breadeater. Habs playing pretty well, but they’ve been doing that pretty steadily for the past 7 or 8 games and finding various ways to lose, as you’d expect of a shi* team. Anyone else like Hoffman? Good player. Interesting that Chiarot had 9 goals last season and is scoring this year. We think of him as a plodder and he kind of is, but there is a little bit of offence there.

Wow, that's actually crazy. I didn't realize that Magiapane was drafted that late. I figured he must have been a high pick because he is so good. I said this last year when people were complaining about the Habs sucking and being a bubble team. It can't really be said that the Flames suck just because they didn't make the playoffs last year. They definitely have numerous really good players that just about any GM would want on their own team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Romy got hit about three times on that shift, LOL. Hung in there though. I like what I’m seeing of him lately. He’s hitting another level, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they keep him at the trade deadline or that they get max return for him. He is much better than I thought. === Also, Romanov having a strong game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
