[GT] Stars @ Flames

[Jeff Lebowski]

The Stars have been able to block a lot of shots. I think that's why there was not only over passing (but passing up clear shots is not ideal) but also some bad angle shots with no traffic so far.

Need to solve that. The patented Gio walking the line and getting his wrister through would be good to see

I would seriously like to know in what way the NHL holds its officials accountable? If I was that bad at my job I’d get fired. Honestly, are they required to watch film? I sure
####ing hope so. What does that ref learn from watching the replay of that exchange? Other than he is incompetent and directly impacted the game as a result of that incompetence. So bad.

I can never understand harping on the same thing over and over as if the rest of us need to be convinced. I guess if 90 percent of us jump on board this forum would seem miserable. He does seem out of sorts not sure why though.

My throat is sore from booing

I hope the anger from the fans was well conveyed on tv

Vegas scores 7 goals in one game... It would take the Flames 4 games to hit that number.

We heard it haha

Imagine being a prospect for the Flames and watching this game.

How would you feel about being in the AHL or minors when Stajan, Brouwer, Glass and Bartkowski are in the lineup. And the only reason the best prospect got called up was because of an injury to a 45 year old player.

Yeah, I agree, but apparently Gulutzan hates to give ice time to young guys. Based on this game it's soon time to #freejanko. Better someone like Freddie doing press box duties in that environment.

teams are partying it up in Vegas before games

I think the broadcast always turns the mics down when the fans start booing cuz it's barely audible

[mrdonkey]

This season has felt awfully Brent Sutter-ish so far

The guys getting the most ice time are in their early 20s

Doug McLean is horrible. I miss Leah Hextall.

I was thinking about this exact thing today, top 3 lines look good but that 4th line is gets all the love. Bet that doesn't sit well with some players; not just prospects.

You watch your mouth.

Monahan gets crosschecked right in front of the officials with 1:50 left.

The Hamonic hit from behind and then subsequent slash to the dallas players skates penalty happens at 4:41 in case anyone wants to see how awesome NHL officiating has gotten.

Apparently its ok to hit and cross check players from behind but a love tap (albeit retaliation) is ok?

Spot on.

Also, remember Brent’s first year where we started off well...then Brent ripped the team in a post-game presser for not playing the right way, and the team then fell apart and never recovered?...ahem...

[calgaryblood]

Jankowski has 4:50.

Can't give him an opportunity, fans would be pissed if he scored and is going to get sent down.

It's almost turning into the Gaudreau effect now. Isn't Johnny the biggest reason more slashes are called now? Didn't the Flames have a chat with the league after Johnny's finger got slashed?

If the Flames are going to argue for changes to Slash penalties you better lead by example

Methot had the top of his finger almost cut off by a Crosby slash. That also helped change the slashing calls.
