Fan expectations for Tuesday afternoon’s match-up between the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks likely weren’t high. Neither team is playoff bound and the games are merely a formality at this point. The Flames played decently, but they lacked much spark in a 4-2 loss to the Canucks in their final road game of the season.

The rundown

The Flames were okay in the first period. They had some decent looks, but weren’t able to bear down on their challenges. Vancouver scored twice in the period, both times taking advantage of a combination of bounces and a bit of Calgary defensive softness:

Travis Hamonic jumped on a bouncing puck, in-between Nikita Nesterov and Rasmus Andersson near the Flames net, and fired the puck past Louis Domingue stick-side to make it 1-0. (It seemed like a miscommunication between the defenders and Derek Ryan regarding who needed to pick up Hamonic as he drove into the zone.)
Late in the period, Domingue made the initial save off a Tyler Myers shot, but Nils Hoglander jammed in the loose rebound to make it 2-0.

Shots were 8-8 and scoring chances 6-6 in the first period.

Nobody scored in the second period. The Canucks scored a power play goal midway through the period but it was overturned after a successful coach’s challenge due to being off-side.

Shots were 10-7 Flames and scoring chances 8-5 Flames in the second period.

Midway through the third, Myers jumped into the rush and scored off a nice move that allowed him to get around Nesterov and beat Domingue to make it 3-0.

Andrew Mangiapane tucked a puck past Thatcher Demko late in the third period to cut Vancouver’s lead to 3-1. Adam Ruzicka earned the secondary assist for his first career NHL point.

Matthew Tkachuk jammed in a nice pass from Johnny Gaudreau with the extra attacker on the ice to cut the Vancouver lead to 3-2 with a minute left in regulation.

But that’s as close as the Flames managed to get. Brock Boeser added an empty net goal to make it 4-2 and cement the Canucks victory.

Shots were 22-9 Flames and scoring chances 11-6 Flames in the third period, primarily due to score effects.

Why the Flames lost

Generally, they were a little flat. They didn’t win enough battles, nor did they make the most of their chances.

Red Warrior

Let’s give the tip of the cap to Domingue, playing his first NHL game since Mar. 1, 2020, he wasn’t given a ton of help but he hung in there.

Stick-taps to Mangiapane for breaking the shutout late, too.

The turning point

The Hoglander goal was a classic back-breaker: a late period goal that doubled the opposition lead.

Estos aparatos específicos están concebidos para calibrar y fijar partes rotativas, ya sea en herramientas manufacturera, automóviles de transporte o incluso en electrodomésticos domésticos.

    Para los especialistas en mantenimiento de equipos y los técnicos, utilizar con sistemas de equilibrado es fundamental para garantizar el funcionamiento estable y fiable de cualquier dispositivo giratorio. Gracias a estas opciones modernas sofisticadas, es posible minimizar considerablemente las oscilaciones, el ruido y la presión sobre los cojinetes, mejorando la duración de componentes caros.

    De igual manera relevante es el función que tienen los sistemas de balanceo en la asistencia al usuario. El soporte experto y el soporte constante empleando estos dispositivos permiten ofrecer prestaciones de alta nivel, elevando la contento de los clientes.

    Para los dueños de negocios, la inversión en equipos de balanceo y medidores puede ser fundamental para aumentar la productividad y rendimiento de sus aparatos. Esto es sobre todo relevante para los empresarios que dirigen modestas y medianas organizaciones, donde cada aspecto vale.

    También, los sistemas de calibración tienen una amplia utilización en el campo de la fiabilidad y el supervisión de calidad. Permiten localizar potenciales problemas, evitando arreglos elevadas y perjuicios a los dispositivos. También, los indicadores obtenidos de estos dispositivos pueden emplearse para optimizar métodos y mejorar la reconocimiento en sistemas de exploración.

    Las áreas de uso de los equipos de equilibrado abarcan diversas industrias, desde la elaboración de vehículos de dos ruedas hasta el seguimiento de la naturaleza. No importa si se refiere de extensas elaboraciones productivas o reducidos talleres hogareños, los sistemas de balanceo son esenciales para asegurar un rendimiento productivo y libre de fallos.
