Trevor Neufeld: A Test of Resolve: Flames-Avalanche Game Day

Thanks Trevor!

Who would have thought that Adam Klapka would put the team on his shoulders and take the game to OT.

Vladar playing for a contract. He will be gone next year.

Anyways, I don’t know how to feel anymore. We really need to tank.

Big win tonight, hopefully you guys pass the Oilers.

Thanks Trevor!

Unfortunately the schedule looks pretty light other than a few games. Maybe the Flames get lucky and someone goes on a losing streak.

Hes definitely playing with more confidence. It’s almost like he’s finally figured out how to effectively use his size. I like the extra shifts with Kadri’s line, it’s helped his game.

The next time they play Vancouver he can redeem himeslf by not getting tossed around by Garland. Untill that happens he cannot be considered a physical player.

They really need to add some Mean. Perry going after Backs was dirty ass (frank). I understand Perry had to make a statement as he let his goaltender get hit without any pushback in a previous game. But grabbing a player that does not fight and who is playing injured is about as greasy as it gets. Right now the deterrent is Lomburg. That's not much.

He needs to train with McGratton this summer to learn a few technical maneuvers. He’s got some skill to go along with that size. Someone was comparing him to Protas of the Capitals, starting out slow in a limited role and figuring out how to play and be successful. Be nice if that happened and he became a 20-30 goal scoring power forward.

Yeah I was thinking maybe they could contract Chara. I understand not everyone has that killer instinct in them. But it would be nice if he could hold his own.

He’s more engaged than he ever has been. He might just figure it out.

Klapka would be so useful in a playoff push. Maybe not this year, but who knows what happens this offseason!

Thanks Trev!!

Good W.

Still a shot for CGY.

So are we cooked yet? Or is there still a chance?

That is what sucks about the current PO format. Doesn't guarantee a spot in the PO's even if you finish 16th overall lol

It’s like 2 years ago that we finished ahead of the Panthers, we missed the playoffs and they went to the final.
Some interesting RFA’s that could be offer sheeted on Ek’s blog, McLeod looks interesting. Good replacement for Backlund or Kadri. I’ll be expecting a few different offer sheets this year from a few different teams. Hopefully CC gets Ours signed before July 1st.

Conroy has his work cut out that’s for sure. He has done a great job drafting. I saw they just signed the 3rd round Russian from last draft. Whoever talking head it was from the Flame’s kept emphasizing how much of a professional the kid was. I am guessing there is a bit of a bad taste in managements mouth after dealing with Zadorov and Kuzmenko.

Anyways, just say a stat about how different teams faired against top top teams in the league. Van won over 50%. Calgary was around 35%. They need high end talent.
