[GT] Boooourns vs Tkaclutch

[Gaskal]

I believe I annointed Zac Rinaldo with the Thor "I LIKE IT" meme when it was announced and he has done a pretty good job of earning that coveted status.

[Calgary4LIfe]

I also think that the Flames have figured out that they actually have a pretty tough team now.

[dammage79]

I lile the tuskan raider/nhl 94 goal celebrations when Looch scores. Backs and Looch almost forgot for a second and then they remembered. Fun stuff. Also was cool to see how pumped Monny was when Rinaldo scored.

Prototypical type of player that you hate to play against, but love having on your team.

I get that you are trying your best to show that Lucic > Neal .. but you aren't comparing apples to apples.

Fine, fine, fine, I'll do that too.

Milan Lucic:

6 goals since November 24
153 hits
51.3 CF%
51.6 defensive zone starts%
$5.25 million cap hit
8.1% shooting (career 13.2%)

James Neal:

5 goals since November 24
79 hits
50.2 CF%
36.3 defensive zone starts% (!!!!)
$6.5 million cap hit
17.9% shooting (career 11.9%)

Zac Rinaldo is the hockey equivalent of caffeine. Does more harm than good in large doses, but can provide a needed spark on the right occasion.

Last I checked, the season doesn't start on November 24. Trust me, I like Lucic more than Neal too.. but overall, I think Neal has helped his team win more games this season than Lucic.. but I do hope Neal continues to suck moving forward and then maybe we can argue that Lucic has been better.

Neal hasn't scored in well over a month now. He had a crazy percentages hot streak to begin the season and has been a complete non-factor since.

Lucic is a beast.

[Joborule]

Wow, look at Lucic actually being effective for a few games in a row now!

[FireGilbert]

Frosted tips!

[Nammer403]

Shut up Kane

[BigBrodieFan]

Kane needs an ass whooping

[AC]

Of course Noesen gets 4 to Lucic's 2.

It's the equivalent of calling the instigator if they classified it as a full fight. They don't call it a fight, so the initiator gets an extra 2 for roughing.

[JurassicTunga12]

terrible pp and now 4 on 4 for a bit

[AC]

That's a great penalty to take by Rasmus.

Absolutely had to.

Of course Janko was hooked and had his stick slashed into pieces right before which should have been called as well...

[Redliner]

Good stop Ritter.

[DropIt]

Smart play from Ras.

Probably not the time to run your 4th line out for the powerplay, jesus
