That's because fake responses like a shove or a "talking to" do nothing.

The real response to Gaudreau getting treated like crap is for this team to have a top 10 power play. No team will get near Johnny knowing the threat of a goal against.

Oh God, we reallly are the Blackhawks 2.0. Just not the ones from the Cup years.

Yep and yep.

I'm astonished at this point why some people don't think he's done a terrible job notwithstanding his very limited skill. I get that expectations of him should be low. But even still, he rarely ever does his job to a decent degree, and he flat out sucks as a hockey player never mind sucks as an NHLer. Yikes.

BB should be buried in the AHL next season. I mean, seriously, on actual hockey talent, Bollig doesn't deserve to be in the NHL at all.

Penalty- and score-free first period. Not much to write about

Everyone gives Bollig a lot of #### for not standing up for his teammates at all, but Ferland, Bouma, Engelland, Hathaway didn't do anything either.

This team is soft as butter.

Trailer Fire...Our guys will pass the puck around and around...AND NEVER SHOOT...it is almost humorous how little the 'Hawks take advantage of possession. Your PK wouldn't even matter!

Those screen pads are cool. Love that Calgary will be using them next season.

If Ferland is not hitting or fighting, I am not sure why he is in the lineup.

Ferland leads the team in hits, by a lot.

For sure. He does have some untapped offensive potential but that shouldn't mean he stops doing what got him here.

Flames are already paying millions of dollars a year for pylons. Just use them.

Call that, but miss an obvious slash. NHL reffing is incredible.

Eventually a couple of expansion teams will be added which will nestle the Oilers into 16th.

This would be a powerplay structure from which we could learn a thing or two.
