Well he isn't an elite goalie.

Just so we can stop with this "literally" nonsense. The Oxford dictionary has defined literally as figuratively...since 1903.

The first use of literally meaning figuratively dates back well over 200 years ago.

If you want to use literally properly, "literally" literally means letter for letter. I.E. "That monk hand wrote the copy of the bible literally." Using it to mean "actually" or "exactly" is a #######ization of the word just the same.

That's how you play Jaybo, Matt!

That monster in the Last Witch Hunter trailer looks like a pointy version of the Bug from MIB.

Capitulating to coloquial expressions and slang is not evolving language. That's devolution. Thank god we don't do that regularly otherwise we'd have to know what every cockney rhyming expression was instead of, you know, the words being used meaning what they actually mean.

There are so many word in English already that changing a word's meaning to the antonym of the other definition of the word is downright stupid. There are plenty of words to do that job already.

Bit of a hold on Wideman there, could have been a penalty there.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Definitely playing better this period.

I literally concur.

Don't be afraid to take the shot Bennett

Kulak is very impressive so far. Hemmed off Jaskin very expertly IMO.

I wanna see a shake up between the top 4 D.

Gio-Wideman
Russell-Hamilton

It's never too late for the Flames.

[Lanny_McDonald]

I think the Flames are missing Joe Colborne right now. They could use that big possession body in the Blues zone.

[foshizzle11]

We haven't won a faceoff in the third...gotta be better at this skill before we ever become a true contender. Terrible tonight.

[sharkov]

id just be happy with 1 point tonight

[Badgers Nose]

This is literally no way for a hockey team to play in their own building.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Empty net, good pressure.

[btimbit]

Buzzing. Come on boys!
