Giordano: "A couple of hits that obviously each team didn’t like in the last game, myself and Dumba’s. Give him credit, he stood up for himself and obviously when [Hendricks] came and asked, I wasn’t going to back down either. It was a good, hard-fought period."

Mr. Chuck and Captain Mark G are going to lead us to the promised land...

Answer? BECAUSE HAVING 4 SKATERS ISN'T AN ADVANTAGE OVER HAVING 5!

As for this guy's video, seemed like a lot of rambling without any real insight. But that's just my opinion.

Lol. The flames are a good penalty kill team, obviously it's not an advantage, no one said that, but in this particular situation it worked out for them. The guy is just talking hockey and drawing attention to a team we all love.

Funny, you posted above about useless arguments and then you made this useless argument that contributed nothing.

Man, what a great game for the Flames. Considering the concerns about this team being 'soft' I am really glad that the Flames both rang the bell and answered it with regards to the stuff that happened last game. AND Prout did not even get involved.

A ref could call a penalty 100% of the time a goalie plays the puck over center ice.

It might only happen once a decade, making it exceedingly rare, but it is called consistently.

I'm saying that it's rare for coaches to argue for 35+ seconds after an icing call about who's on the ice with the refs. Again, at least according to the ref, when he blew the whistle the Flames still didn't appear to have the right player on. He was sick of their bull####, which I wouldn't blame him for (if he was right, not sure who was).


Yes, like the disadvantage of being called for a delay of game if you won't get out the right players quick enough.

I like this attempt to stick to your guns in the argument but the example is a complete miss.

How many times does a goalie cross centre ice to play the puck? Never.
How many icing calls are there in the NHL in a given season? Over 12,710 (assuming 10+ icing calls per game and I feel confident that number should be much higher)

Teams are constantly pushing against the 'reasonable amount of time to get back to the faceoff dot after an icing' but the officials decide to dust this rule off 0.02% of the time. That stat speaks a lot more to the than your guesswork that the Flames were over-the-top in this act and thus justified this subjective call being made.

If you take your stopwatch with you to other games I am sure you will find many other faceoffs that happen close to or later than 35 seconds past the icing whistle that do not garner a penalty.

Anyway, I would love to see the NHL take steps to remove the subjectivity away from these officials. The are very consistent in making the wrong call in a large number of situations with no true accountability.

I didn't think we were having an argument (which was obviously the definition of the word I was referring to), but okay, sorry for not being a fan of that guy's take, I guess.

I was just giving you a hard time! Let's continue this conversation about whether this is an argument in another thread

You know as much as I dislike the Leafs... some part of me is thrilled seeing Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto tied for 2nd in the league for points.


I WANT A CUP IN CANADA!!! (preferably not in Toronto)

Thank-you BSD!!!!!

Were the Flames the underdogs in the game? Looks like you got £26 back on a £10 bet?

That seems surprising to me, based on where the two teams are in the standings. It is also possible I don't understand the ticket correctly, but if that's the case set me straight!

[Oling_Roachinen]

I think the 60 minute betting means the Flames have to win in regulation.

Blech. The only Cup I want in Canada is the next one the Flames win.

I'd rather not see a cup in Canada unless it's the Flames. I've got too much hate for half of them. As for the ones I don't necessarily hate, I'd just be too envious if they won.

It doesn't matter to me in the least seeing other Canadian teams floundering. Flames or nothing as far as I'm concerned.

Don't want that first cup back in Canada anywhere outside southern Alberta.

Once the flames bring it home then sure, Winnipeg, Montreal or Ottawa winning too would be cool. I hope the cup never sees Toronto, Edmonton or Vancouver ice. Like until the end of time.

[Mattman]

You boys are right. Calgary cup or bust.


p.s does anyone have a clip of the Bennett vs Suter fight or Tkachuk vs. Dumba?

They were indeed underdogs.
That payout was more than mine though (2.1-1).

Eff that crap. I'd rather see Florida win it than any other Canadian team.
If the Jets win the mods will need to ban 403whiteout 30 seconds after the game.

Hate this logic, it is a league, I want the Flames to win...screw everyone else. This isn't Canada vs. USA.

Exactly. Edmonton and Vancouver are the worst. Toronto would be unsufferable. Ottawa? Ain’t happening anyway. And so on and so forth.

[1qqaaz]

I have an irrational hatred for all the other Canadian teams.
Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal are especially putrid in my eyes.

I would rather see virtually any American teams win the cup over them.

What a shot by Tkachuk though. It wasn't just a shot on net looking for a rebound in traffic. He picked the side of the net. And great awareness by Neal to set him up there.

I think Neal was trying to pass out front in close and it defelected off a MInny skate to Chuck.... but he played a good game tonight and I'm not a hater!!
