Bennett is the only one who fits that mold. Harmonic can't with his injury. Tkachuk although a pest isn't that kind of player. He is too valuable.

Not necessarily, but a 4th line forward or extra defenseman that can keep the meatheads in check isn't a bad thing.

If Lucic or Kassian decide to do something stupid, which is a high probability with a guy like Kassian, then who on the ice can go toe to toe with him?

Maybe what he is trying to say, is that if they want to engage in that type of game, they should have dressed a different roster.

They can't get suckered into a physical game, because they don't have to weight to match it.

Flames just need to play their game.

I'm more concerned about the Flames actually taking advantage of the Oilers mistakes(like kassian's penalty) and making them pay on scoreboard. We have yet to see this elusive ability.

Loved Gaudreau's interview. Kid gets it. Hope he gets out of this funk quick.

To put it as he did 'need to settle it down a bit"

This is when Neal needs to step up.

I hope someone slewfoots McBaby and bounces his head off the ice, then sucker punches Drysaddle, then hits Nugget-Hoppkins from behind into the boards. That should almost even up the cheap shots by these losers.

Nurse is a puss... Didn't land anything until the linemen jumped in then lands one while Bennett is being held.

Such a team of posers.

I think he probably needed to come across a bit once the pass was out of the question. He questioned Rittich's stick.

But yeah, bad play by Gio, set up by Gaudreau. I don't recall that speed from Chaisson before, or that finish.

That's exactly right Johnny. CGY needs to play their game, play to their strength. Settle down and just start making plays.

It's a myth.

If they decide to do something stupid, then it's already happened and you're not deterring the past.

wtf is Kassian doing? The 'toothless serial killer death look?' He's making an ass of himself.

Yea, the offence has been really frustrating lately. Just no finish it seems right now. Let's hope they can turn that around quick, starting with this PP.

Interesting to see if Kassian plays much in the third period. You would have to think that if he does anything stupid, he's lined up for 5 and a game.
