Minnesota Wild @ Calgary Flames, Saturday 2-26-22, 9:00pm, Scotiabank Saddledome

Flames look like they're content with just defending their lead, Not pushing to score.
If we actually net one, I bet they crank it up again.

[lynxrattle]

My thoughts exactly. We are hanging in there because they let us.

[ClusterChuck]

Hello...Foligno. Your Captain was just bearhugged after a whistle.

[Alexandron]

1:4....

[ClusterChuck]

There's the dagger.
I don't think we've been in their zone for 30 seconds at any time this game.

[ClusterChuck]

Love Kap's fiestiness.

[Alexandron]

1:5.....

We couldn't even enter their zone with numbers and then turn it over for that goal. kappo needed to stop that easy 5-hole.

this is just a practice session for calgary the wild are just here tonight to hone their skills

Just hope for no injuries or stupid suspensions. Things will be even more chippy with our frustration.

[ClusterChuck]

I'll be missing the home game vs Flames...not too bummed about it now. 
I'll hope for a win, But I've seen enough of them after just 2 periods.

Flames commentators said that Spurgeon caused this goal by trying to block Flames player's stick. Kahkonen was not able to react well to that trajectory of the puck.

It is a delayed "practice" for our team as well, because we did not have it yesterday and today. And  definitely it is not the best one tonight.

Pfffft. Put the damn blade ON the ice to block that 5-hole. No excuses for that one.

[ClusterChuck]

Both our goalies have given up some weak goals lately but most have been on our team as a whole leaving them out to dry.

Rightly so...See post above. 

[ClusterChuck]

I am more confident this season that a game like this won't rattle Kappo.

It is going to be a revenge game. No way we are going to loose it..  Commentators said that we did not played against Flames for 2 years (January 9, 2020) and now we are going to play 2 games against them in 3 days. What I could say? Good team to play against, and good experience for us. I am glad at least we did not help to Markstrom to make his 9th SO tonight.

Agree. No excuses at all. 

[ClusterChuck]

Bizarre calls tonight by the refs.
