Hopefully its Smith and Neal for Giroux. They need help in net, don't they?

Seems like a fair trade to me. Get it done!

Rittich is starting his 3rd straight game.
Has Peters come around?

Thank you thank you thank you....!!!
I think Smith is still a question mark from his 'injury' the other day. Keep riding Big Save Dave for the wins!

Good to see Rittich start, he deserves it.
Neal is out with an injury.

Oh,bummer about Neal. Did he tweak something fanning on a shot, or hitting the side of the net?

Upper body injury. Could very well be from whiffing a shot. Perhaps he hurt himself in the post game celebration after getting that assist that he obviously planned.

Makes sense. Probably threw a full on high five to celebrate and nobody gave it up for him and he pulled a muscle hitting nothing. Again.

We have almost $10,000,000 per year not playing tonight....
Something has to be done. I want JN to be part of this team but it's just not happening. Smith is what he is. We need a back up and I don't know if we can do better on the trade market. Might find someone to take JN but I really don't know. No one is going to take Smith unless they are needing to get to the cap floor.

Neal is our Secret Weapon for the Playoffs. You heard it here first.

Neal got hit in the face with the puck last game didn't he? I'm thinking that's his injury.
Dallas will be a good challenge but a win would be a great way to finish a roady.
Is Quine playing tonight? he is having a good year in the AHL and had a good one the other day.
Go Flames Go!!!

Didn't get a good look at that goal but looked like a garbage goal, but end of the day they all count. Need a better second.

Yeah, Flames looking pretty weak that period....not much jump or grit. Hope they get an injection of motivation for next period!

Feet not moving. At all. They went on Christmas break too early.

Maybe they should break out a case of Redbull before the third. They look lame. This is the worst I've seen them play since Glen was coaching.

Wow. No defense there. None at all. Backs turned, puck watching, and leave Rittich dangling. Gross. 2-0 and lucky it's not 4-0. Maybe they looked at stats and figured they were good for the season?

Losing, getting outshot, out hit, losing badly in the circle, less blocked shots, tied in take aways. Winning it two categories though, less PIM and wow, Dallas has 17 giveaways vs the Flames at 4.
Hope they found some motivation for the 3rd. We really only should have to show up for the 3rd to beat these guys, they aren't that good.

Indeed. Very indifferent play is as generous as I can go. Looks like the team GAS* levels are non existent....
Just blah.
