Kane has 50% more points and Benn/Seguin are 10 points up. Not a chance

Agreed.

Incidentally, how many goals have gone in off of Wideman this year?

By hard to blame the pk you mean let a guy sit in front and screen. Soft goal, botched coverage.

The call was great both for what he said and for his falling silent and letting the crowd make the call on the goal.

Flames win a 2nd game in a row in spite of Hiller! Hoooooooray

2 assists and a +3 on that night isn't good? Tough crowd.

I will never understand why anyone wouldn't want Kris on this team. Full of heart, speedy, adaptable and a great role model. Shot blocker extraordinaire. You can't teach his kinda heart. I want him to stay.

Nice sharks lose.

Why are we watching an interview with a f'n Habs player on After Hours? Shouldn't they be talking to a Flame or a Ranger?

The stats favor him but he did not look especially good. When he was on the ice he got hemmed in a lot and he just cannot seem to win a puck along the boards. Lots of giveaways tonight too.

I'm actually amazed he was +3. Good for him.

Double agreed. What was Wideman doing on that 3rd goal. ... hiding on the other side of the net?

I love how after the HEERE'S JOHNNY, he stayed quiet and just let the moment and the atmosphere in the Dome do the talking. Hughson did not Pierre McGuire the call with a spurt of post-goal nonsense.

Im pretty sure i said it was a soft goal.... also 2 rangers in between our D and the net.

Hiller did nothing to fight through the screen and to try to find the puck. He simply sat down beside the screen and hoped the shot hit him. Trrrbl.

They're about to interview Giordano.
