It os a laughable theroy but Francis is such an idiot everything he presented showed it could be true. He even said the numbers support it.

Francis is just terrible.

Could you imagine the feeling of relief being a dman/goalie on a odd man rush, but it's Engelland and Bollig coming at you?

Yea his quality of line mates isn't what it used to be either.. but there's a reason for that.

It's the Lionel Hutz school of argument.

I agree that it would be extremely unprofessional by the refs to do that and that it would not really have any benefit because all it would do is give the Flames a better chance of getting a top pick, which would help us long term (which is why it's laughable).

Francis could have provided that argument as a legit reason why it would be bogus, but he didn't.

Its the non calls that bug me. The Reaves headshot on Hathaway was brutal. The ref kicking the puck right to Stastny and they let it count. Stuff like that.

The former, maybe. The latter - it wasn't a kick and what did you think the call should be?

Kevin gets beat too easily in foot races into the corner. Not any worse than Engelland, but still too easy nonetheless to dump the puck into his corner and go retrieve it

Shouldn't have counted. The incompetence is a much much bigger factor than any "rigging" they are supposedly trying to portray.

Anyway, Francis needs to lay off Wideman. He's obsessed.

Maybe he doesn't have a future with the Jets, but if he ever developed a specialized lubricant for tubas, well...

Who could say no to Trouba Tuba Lube??

Under what rule is the puck dead just because it goes off of an official?
