You don't see goals being scored so easily in such short order every night. Except in Oil country.

I really have to give props to Jackman...
Suddenly frankly, I have nothing against Butler anymore.

The entire team was awful. Why is it fair to single out Backlund?

Btw, if people haven't noticed, Backlund has been getting quite a few shifts with Cammalleri tonight, there he was with Jones.

Welp, broken record or not...
We've complete shat the bed in two games. Both the games where Sven was (unfairly) benched. Hey guess what Hartley... your "hard work ethic" sales pitch falls on it's face when you show it to be complete bull####. Notice the trend yet?
If Jackman isn't on his way out of town after this game, many people failed at their jobs.

I figured but it's not fair to bring stuff up pro's do off ice.I'm sure you do things off payroll that may be frowned apon . Every one deserves personal time.

Minny has been playing well of late.
But not that well.
The Flames mailed it in tonight to make the Wild look like the 1981/2 Islanders out there.
Time for a bag skate. Ick.

Hahaha I think it's perfectly fair when they're in the spot-light and looked upon as role models for many kids. Just my opinion though.

I had an uncle that drove bus for the oilers thru the 80's. I'll tell you one thing lots of ppl you wouldn't expect did stuff that wouldn't fly but only internet has changed that. And kids today still look at some of those players and don't say boo about it.

That's just it, it's not fair. When you don't have a long term contract, or if you are a rookie, you have to make a difference each game, with whoever you get to play with for the ice time you are given. I believe Flames management want Beartchi and Backlund to earn their ice time. I believe my little sister would say "suck it up princess"
