Was at the game last night. Super fun night. The hockey is fast, obviously not as mistake free and hard-hitting. Man, Phillips takes a beating out there. Pelletier too. I didn't think he'd be back to start the third after getting creamed.
Brutal cross checks to the upper back that should have been called. The reffing was pretty bad. Especially the smaller ref. He just looked like he wanted to be the centre of attention out there.
Love Pelletier. He is a whirlwind and so positive with his teammates. Duehr looked good. Zary really needs to improve his skating. Someone will give Phillips a good look next year. It just won't be us (boo). Poirier has the tools but will need plenty of seasoning in the ahl.
Amazed Hoglander kept getting shifts with 4 penalties and the likeliest reason they lost the game.
The evening made me mad we aren't filling the stampede grounds with Flames playoff hockey.
