I actually thought the 2nd unit was better than the 1st against Vegas.

Maybe he should hang them up because that was a good clean hit of the guy with the puck

I don’t understand how someone can enjoy hockey if that’s what you get out of that play.

I think that was an example of how you can do everything right but still catch a piece of someone's head. Especially of you are tall.

Not predatory at all, but it still sucks for Kase with his history.

PP failures going to come back and haunt us

Need a D who can play on PP1

At least we're holding the fort defensively..

Why is this shocking anyone? They're an elite team and they're on a hot streak. Have some perspective?

[dino7c]

That hit was awesome, by far the best play of the period

[OldSam]

Give the Leafs some credit for playing a great road period. Their PK was awesome. And I hate the Leafs.

This will be a close game.

Francis‘s hair looks spray painted on.

Leafs have also been sitting and waiting while the Flames played...and it's tied

Like Tyler Myers responded after the hit on Lewis. Which I thought actually was predatory. He said: ‘I wasn’t targeting his head. Just a product of me being too big’. The league accepted that, and didn't discipline him. If they are at all consistent then there's no way there should be any discipline after.

[Harry Lime]

The more I see that hit, the more I want to see Kase and anyone with a history of concussions to tighten up their helmet properly.

They’re very aggressive on the PK and getting good bounces. Flames need to keep the puck in the Leafs zones and keep the pressure in there. Leafs are getting the pucks out fast.

[timbit]

The last 4 1/3 home games, the Flames have outscored the opposition 19-2.

They’re doing fine.

St. Louis, Van, Vegas, Florida and Toronto.

I missed the first period. What hit? Is there a clip somewhere?

[GullFoss]

Serious question. Is Kelly Hrudey unwell? Or are they doing a bad job in the make-up room?

I'm sure you will see it plenty of times with all the Leafs crying over the next few days

It sure seems like it's in all our best interests to mute the TV between periods!
