1) Because making that a judgement call is horribly subjective because refs can't truly determine intent, and 2) because you'll get dishonest idiots trying to claim all the time that 'Oh, but I didn't mean to!', when they could be spewing bull####.

So Hextall just labeled them the cardiac kids again. Feels like such a long time ago that nickname had any truth to it...

I'd rather have Brian McGrattan and Paul Byron than Bollig and Raymond

Im pretty sure we have one play. Guy on the right boards tries to either pass it down low and cut in front or give and go. We occasionally try to pass it across the ice too but it never works since passing can be tricky.

BT will make moves to the roster before they fire Hartley. I don't think Hartley is the problem. We need secondary scoring and better team defense, without those two things we will sink. It is getting better.

Every call already is. Not every slash gets called and that's certainly not 'fair' in terms of absolutes, but works all the same, and in some cases is more 'fair'.

Do you think he completely revamped the system from last year and is directing the players to do what they're doing? Honest question.

The over the glass penalty is fine, I don't get why it's still argued. These guys are pros and they can control the puck. If they can't, well there's a punishment.

It's fine.

I agree with you. They have to make this change. It doesn't seem all that hard to figure out who shoots it out under pressure and who doesn't.

Just got home to see that we're losing again, and apparently we still can't score goals. Shocking. Other than that, can someone give me a quick synopsis of how the Flames have played tonight?

I don't think he's doing anything. Sure seems like now that his system isn't working, he has nothing.

What do you think he's doing?

I'm just arguing, I prefer the penalty as it promotes skilled play and offence and punishes plays that aren't hockey.
