Here's the problem with the Flames, summed up by their Associate Coach, Geoff Ward, who will be in charge if we do fire Peters: “Collectively, when we’re sick and tired of losing, we’ll find a way to win a game. Right now the frustration is reflected in the work ethic, and the work ethic isn’t where it needs to be to win hockey games, and we need to rectify it.” - Geoff Ward The guys in the room may not be getting along. It's a mess. I see a trade happening, before Peters' is fired. But I think Peters' lost these guys. And I think some of our guys are real prima donnas. A few of us here hope they bench the regulars and bring up some young and hungry guys from Stockton, in the AHL. I am one of these fans. Injuries are also a challenge for the Flames, as I type. Depth will be seriously tested, on this up-coming road trip. As for Babcock, Dubas is the problem in Toronto, not Babcock. That's my opinion. Keefe's coming in, w/no NHL coaching experience - Dubas' buddy from way back - in the process of a 5 game losing streak. Good luck with that.

Keefe did well in his debut, though. I think Keef will be a very good coach, in Toronto. Dubas and Shanahan, better hope so!

Most people here hate the Oilers, and vice versa. I've never hated the Oilers. Their success is good for the NHL, and particularly the Canadian teams. McDavid's one of the greats. To me, Draisaitl get little fanfare. He's a tremendous talent. But the Oilers lack secondary scoring. If their goaltending holds up, they'll be okay, but they'll need secondary scoring to be "comfortable".

Montreal will get in. So will Edmonton, and probably Vancouver. Winnipeg and Toronto are on the cusp. Ditto, my Flames. All three of these teams better find some defence (and in the case of the Flames, some offence), or they'll be golfing in Arizona, come playoff time.

Bruins win in OT today! Bergeron with 4 points and Marchand with 2 more. ... Looks like McDavid just scored. |

BUT....
How abut my NY Isles!! What a stretch. I was fortunate enough to be a season ticket holder during their 4 year dynasty. Might it be their year? Fingers crossed!

Flames get a point, but lose to the Pens in OT 3-2. Neither team looked like they had their A-game going, but both goalies, David Rittich and Tristen Jarry did, and kept the game low-scoring.
One of the weirdest plays I've ever seen happened late in the game when Milan Lucic skated hard into the Pens goal explosively dislodging the net. He didn't have the puck, wasn't pushed or even touched by any other player and never made contact with goaltender Jarry whose back was to Lucic at the opposite side of the goal (although Jarry jumped about a foot into the air when he heard the net go flying). It looked like he just forgot how to skate or where he was on the ice or had an out of body experience! It was pretty clear after the whistle blew to stop play that he was embarrassed to the point of wishing he could find a hole to crawl into to hide.

Love the Isles. Grew up in NY - my older brother pulled for the Isles. I'll always have a soft-spot for the Isles. Trotz is a great coach. They could certainly go far, in the playoffs - and the fans deserve it.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out for the Islanders at the Barclays Center. I wonder if a new arena will ever be built in Uniondale / Long Island? I've heard plans over the past few years but nothing came out of it.
