Who cares about who starts next game. Barring some mighty ####ing luck they win 3 in a row does it really matter?

Game 4 might be the last time we see the flag jerseys.

Elliott checked out - his body language was brutal. Should have changed goaltenders after the tying goal.

Someone else should start game 4 imo.

It's tough enough to beat the Ducks, but to have to battle the refs and hockey gods at the same time?

That highstick goal was just shocking. What a joke.

[Moneyhands23]

No way they keep Elliott.

NHL has no integrity. That goal should not have counted, and it led to a huge momentum swing.

No, that shouldn't have happened and the Flames should have been tougher mentally. Yes, they shouldn't have let their emotions get the best of them. No, they shouldn't have begun to play timid.

The crowd was riled up / out of it because of it. Elliott lost his composure because of it, and so did essentially the whole team- probably even the coaches.

I'm sitting here still in shock they made that call because of how blatantly wrong it was. The guy is 6'2 and his stick is above his shoulders. Unless his stick is 6" wide there's no physical way that could or should count. It's absolutely unbelievable they went that direction.

The NHL has no integrity.

Gulutzan better call out the nhl and take the fine in his interview. I know they backed off and elliott was garbage but have some stones

The guys on the panel after the game were saying they expect the Flames to be furious about that call. I'm betting the league will get an earful from Burke/Treliving tomorrow.

Sorry to channel that awful HRC, but: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Not a fan of Johnny Gaudreau this series. Not at all.

If there's a bright side, this is it.

At 11:14 of the third period in the Ducks/Flames game, video review confirmed that Nate Thompson's stick was at or below the height of the crossbar when he deflected the puck into the Calgary net. According to Rule 38.4 (vi) "The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick in relation to the crossbar. If the puck makes contact with the portion of the stick that is at or below the level of the crossbar and enters the goal, this goal shall be allowed". Good goal Anaheim.#

The actual answer should have been 'over the crossbar, no goal'

So not inclusive.
They are saying the evidence is conclusive that it was a good goal?
Oh

Sorry, the goal sucks, but it shouldn't matter. This team can't step up against adversity, including our goalie, and that's why we keep losing. The goal wasn't the issue, it exposed the issue.

[dino7c]

Flames should have never been in that situation but still the stick is way high...Flames got absolutely screwed AGAIN!

Elliott was BRUTAL though

remember we also have to give up a 3rd rounder to bring him back
