Calgary Flames Official Thread

Flames sputtered pretty good before the break, losing 3 in a row (last one with a loser point) and 4 of the last 5. Wolf looked less spectacular too, think the team was a bit burned out. Hope the break will help everyone recharge, save Andersson who gets no time off playing for Sweden.
 
The two weeks between the season starting back up and the deadline will make or break their season. It is a tough schedule, if you're well back on Vancouver and start to fall behind other teams you maybe should be selling on March 7 (trade deadline day).
 
I think they made it clear they aren't selling by picking up Frost and Farabee though. Vancouver seems to have righted the ship and the Kings still look vulnerable, so who knows.
 
I feel the Flames are really missing Bahl. He was Andersson's d partner and our top d pairing IMO so playing important minutes against the best players. Hoping the week off sees him back in the lineup.
I was curious how Andersson has been doing with / without Bahl (who I feel is a defensive dman), 46 games played before Bahl was injured he was a -10 (not sure if he played every game with Bahl) and in the 8 games Bahl has been injured he's already a -6
 
Predictions for the 4 Nations? Sadly I think the US is going to take it on the back of superior goaltending. Canada is the deepest team, but I don't think Binnington or hill will be able to hold it down the way Helleybuyck or Oettinger will for the US. Hope I'm wrong!

1-US, 2-Canada, 3-Sweden, then Finland in 4th.

I think the US not having Quinn Hughes hurts their chances even with stellar goaltending. I still like Canada as #1, I just look at our top PP unit and it's out of this world: Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, Reinhart and Makar
