They are/were....seems pretty innocuous to say so...no?

[Toonage]

Yep. Don't want another team to talk #### about you?
Beat them.

[Flash Walken]

Pretty sure san Jose scored just 3 less goals than Calgary in the regular season and we're plagues by injuries

They ARE a better team...

Not to mention that their players can man up during the playoffs and don't cower in the fetal position like the Flames did

The way the two teams play compared in the playoffs, nothing wrong with that statement. Flames did not show up as a challenge for the Aves.

Flames should be motivated now to play the Avs. I wish he had said that before the playoffs started and then we’d have showed him.

I'm not so sure about that. Didn't he make some comment during an intermission in game 3 that they were dominating them right from the first period of the series? That and the taunts Avs fans were giving to them should have been enough to piss them off but it didn't work.

Yeah, I was being tongue in cheek. Flames shouldn't have needed bulletin board material for the playoffs.

Just grousing about all those guys in sweatpants and good shoes gloating over that statement. And yes, they probably are better than the Flames.

Is he wrong to say that at this point in time?

I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed it was just a child.

At least we don't have to hear this guy sing 'O Canada' again.

The start to this game is very similar to game 3 in the first round.

Flames with an early PP.. Sharks with an early PP.. both teams hit the post.

Then right after the PK, MacKinnon goes down the ice wide and takes a shot. However, at this point.. the Flames took a penalty on Mackinnon and then another one to make it 5-3.

Makar is unaware and soft on Couture.

1-0 Sharks.

Suck it Wahvs.
