Repost from the PGT:
Lucic held up. That's not even a charge.Refs are absolute trash and so is head office in Toronto. That's a legal hit on a goalie out of his crease.
Yes, I realize the league doesn't want goalies hit. Having said that, message sent by Lucic.
I'm not worried yet. Sutter now has his players' attention. Sent a message to all his players (least of which Markstrom) by starting Vladar in P3. Good call. Gets Vladar some minutes (which he earned with his play this season) and reminds the rest of the players that hockey is a team game and every player (including the black aces) are parts of the team.
Sutter will be reminding the Flames that the playoffs are a marathon, not a sprint.
Let the Sportsnet crew salivate over McAvi and Smith. Let them fawn over Evander Kane.
Honestly, I'm not worried. Yet. Flames have yet to play their game for 60 minutes.
Go. Flames. Go.
Together.
