This is exactly what I saw. There was one point there in the second where I chuckled at two attempts on the same shift at a wrap-around goal. It was as if the thought was:
"I've seen Johnny Gaudreau score on this shot. I should try it!"
followed by:
"Hmmm. That looked a lot easier when he did it."
How much has his dynamic creativity possibly played into other players on the team forcing plays in the offensive zone?
In the end, a frustrating game, but probably not terribly surprising. I still believe that this team is better than the pre-season predictions.

People whining about the way Cole called the game need to get a life. Seriously, we are lucky to hear a legend like that call the game and just because it is different than the hyperbowl of many in todays era does not mean it is a bad thing. Some people will find anything to complain about.

Relax man. I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining. I've always hated the way Cole calls a game, his voice is grating and he often goes off on these tangents that make absolutely no sense. Just because you think he's a legend, doesn't make it so. There's a reason Hughson and Simpson took over the eastern HNIC games the last few years.

Agreed.
I'm sorry, but Cole may have been OK many, many years ago and even that's a stretch IMO, but last night the call was brutal. I found myself (God help me) wishing Kerr was back last night having to listen to Cole not keep up with the game and keep saying "the goalie" or "the defenceman"...

True. Bob Cole is a legend regardless of what dissentowner thinks. His legendary status comes virtue of 40+ years of hockey broadcasts, which includes calls from some of the greatest games of all time.

The fixation on PBP/commentator/broadcasting by some people on here never fails to amaze me.

I started to get mad but I realized that absolutely none of the bounces went our way. I thought they still had the effort but Washington protected that lead very well.

It isn't a fixation. It's part of the entertainment package and it was brutal last night. Cole may have 40+ years in the business. Great. But it's time to hang it up now.

Ain't that the truth. You're already watching the game, how the guy describes it is almost irrelevant to me. I mean it aids a bit in the enjoyment, but if I had to allocate how important it is, I'd say 95% hockey, 5% who is/how they are describing it to me.
Interesting fact: in a loss, as much as 50% of the posts in a PGT are about the broadcast. In a win, maybe 5%
Edit: meant GT, not PGT

Really do not see what Bollig brings to this team. Sure he's tough but he rarely shows it. So far it was a huge waste of a trading a pick.

it is, I just find it interesting how big that part for some people on CP is while for me it's a very, very, very small part. Maybe 5%, like SP said. Maybe it's because we don't have the usual PBP-colour structure over here in sports most of the time, I don't know. I'm just happy to see the game, I don't care how the guy describes it to me.

Keep this in mind when we start playing the West coast teams, fore checked to death and look like children trying to take the puck off their dads.
Being small does have something to do with it, because it will constantly effect execution.
Orpick had one shift wear he rag dolled two Flames in a row.

It really makes the game less enjoyable when it's not done well. And I think you're right, the PBP for Flames games is kind of all over the place. I can guarantee that if last night's game was Hrudey and Ball, it at least might have been a bit more enjoyable, even though the overall game wasn't very good.
Just frustrating to listen to bad PBP.

Spot on. It's an odd thing for a hockey fan to care about. Can they not follow the play without help? Do they see the PBP guys's role as that of an instruction manual?
Who cares if he slips up from time to time. His voice and the history behind it are like the finishing touches on the canvas that is a hockey game.
But hey, I guess some people prefer paint-by-numbers.
