Kind of a lot to expect it from him but is Morrison playing that bad?

[Drury18]

All of our defence are. They just aren't playing defence. Too busy trying to score goals or something.

[Drury18]

Ramage gets 2 for slashing and a 10 misconduct.

Nichushkin gets nothing.

[Drury18]

Flames kill off the penalty.

Tousignant tripped, no call.

[Drury18]

Acolaste and Nichushkin shoving each other after the whistle.

There's a very likely chance things are going to explode here shortly. It's been coming for the last couple whistles.

[Drury18]

We really, really need to win. Lake Erie just passed us in the Western Conference. If the Flames lose this, we drop to 12th and 7 points out.

[Drury18]

FLAMES GOAL!

Emile Poirier

4-6 Stars

Assist to Cundari and Acolaste

[Drury18]

And Nichushkin gets tossed for a push on Poirier after he scores.

Acolaste is in the box, he took a swing at a Stars player.

Huge pushing match broke out after the Poirier goal.

[Drury18]

Flames going to the PK. Acolaste will get 2 for slashing, Nichushkin gets tossed.

The Stars PbP guy is furious at the refs because they lost control of the game.

[Drury18]

Stars only had 21 fighting majors going into this game and one of the least penalized teams in the league. This is foreign territory to them.

[Drury18]

Carr is on the bench for the extra attacker

[Drury18]

And Wolf has been tossed from the game for pushing. Gaunce goes with him.

[sureLoss]

LOL the refs are just tossing players left and right

[savardandjokinen]

Can't wait to see PIMS

[Drury18]

Carr back to the bench
