I think it was common for immigration officers to do that to people coming into the country from Europe back in the day- arbitrarily shortening family names that were difficult to pronounce. And often the families had no say in the matter.

The flames played a very similar game last year vs the leafs where they dominated but I believe lost in a shootout. I hope that’s not a sign

Flames outshoot Leafs 12-4 in a period. Calgarypuck game thread all about how bad we played.

This is how I've heard it often happened. No one said "Our name is too difficult...", but rather someone at the port of entry said " Your name is too difficult..."

I think most people are pleased with how they look (I am) but annoyed with the lack of finish. It’s been an issue for a while now

Good period for the Flames. We will win more than lose if we play like this. Hoping Bennett line buries a couple.

The real concern isn't that we played poorly, it's that we failed to score. This team, like most NHL teams, has difficulty sustaining pressure for 60 minutes so that was a waste of 20 minutes of legitimate dominance.

The forwards are helping on defence a lot more, and their sticks are way more active tonight.

The lack of comments about Brodie is a good thing. He's looking solid defensively tonight.
