Just to see who will complain about the complaining of complaining.

Ducks are better at being dirtbags then going back to playing their game when the puck drops.

If I was GG I would certainly sit Bouma too and let Lazar see the ice for the last two games. If Lazar is not a significant upgrade, then you have given a message to Bouma to wake up. If he is a significant upgrade then you let him start the playoffs.

Bouma was one of a few guys tonight willing to hit and go into the corners. Lazar is the shiny toy I get it but he's not an upgrade on anyone on the roster including Brouwer which should be pretty easy to do.

Intimidated??? Did it look they were intimidated in the 3rd. Outhit and outshot them in the first, did they look intimidated??????? Yes they lost the game but in no way did they look intimidated! !! I dont think that word means what you think it means.

Okay refs, you've had your fun. Now, call a fair game.

If someone gave me a bat right now I would do this!

Bennett line has a strong shift at their end, puck comes the other way and our third pair fails to play a tight gap (even though, that's like, completely the philosophy of our system). Elliott lets in a soft goal that never should even have been a shot with how slow / bad Bieksa is.

Stajan line gets hemmed in, Stajan loses his man in front of the net.

Down 3-1, completely forget there's ten minutes game going on with the other team missing their two best defensemen and start being sore losers. Stop even trying to score a goal.

Get a 5-on-3 and Hamilton's head isn't in the game.

The Ducks are so, completely beatable. The Flames beat themselves.

Bennett was excellent though. Give him the C after Gio retires. Strip Brouwer's A and give it to him tommorow.

Often disagree with you but you are 100% on the money here.

Avs also just beat the Blackhawks.


Oh hey, Preds. No, after you.

I am really concerned about the ability of NHL officials to call a fair series regardless of who we play.

Explain please.

Having a letter on your jersey dose not show your skilled player. Why doesn't Johnny or Hamilton have one then.

It shows you are a player with great leadership skills , reapect amongst the other team memebers and great maturity and moral support. Thwy are like community leaders in side the dressing room and off the ice.

You have no Idea the type of person is in those situations and how thw players view him as.

I'm not happy with Brouwers play either but saying it is a disgrace is disgraceful within its' self. Playera would vocalize it to management and he would have already been stripped.

You have no clue how that team feels about Brouwer.

It's time to unleash the Hathaway.

I like how Kelser wanted nothing to do with Ferland and had to have someone step in and fight his battles. What a ######bag!
