Haven't weighed in at all on CP since our season was ended

What can you say? The NHL got what they wanted: McDavid in the final four.

Flames probably don't pull out the series with their inability to protect leads, but they deserved better there, 1000%. The puck was already on it's way in and would've entered the net because of inertia and being out of reach of any one that could stop it in time. It would've gone in whether nudged by the skate or not.

And Coleman was in the process of falling essentially. It looks kicked, but he was also doing a natural motion with his legs and that's such a split second moment i don't know how much of that can be calculated.

It wasn't altered in direction by the skate, it was just pushed in the direction it was already sliding and nothing was stopping it from crossing. It's like hauling down a guy streaking in on an empty net a foot away from the line where there's essentially zero doubt he would've missed, and blowing the play down and not awarding him the goal.

That has to be a goal. It is a goal. Flames should've been up with a few minutes left.

This is nothing new for how this team is treated in do or die situations.

Bennett and Galinas deserved more consideration, and this wasn't even comparable to those instances. It's a goal, it's a goal, it's a goal.

There are legitimate problems with how decisions are being made, and it looks like logic and common sense have been discarded entirely.

Guys in Toronto should feel like dicks today.

I don't think I'm pouring a cent into this league for a while. I'd like to see my team treated with the respect and "benefit of the doubt" that Edmonton seems to garner. That is to say, there should be no edge or advantage to certain teams and it has consistently felt like there has been.

Not interested in a league of disparity, unpredictable standards and underlying agendas. Nor shoving gambling down the throats of its audiences.

Ps. Edmonton should have never had that 4th first overall if the league had the modicum of sense to implement the draft rules when it actually mattered - to impede that team from taking advantage.

Nothing left for this product but apathy.
