Lucic only got 10, not a game

[DropIt]

3.5 min to 13 min in favour of the Avs

Here we go, Francis going on about Flames can’t give so many power plays. Clearly he has no hockey knowledge or isn’t watching, there have been plenty or garbage calls.

Trade Francis for a broken down scooter, this guy is clueless.

send the message early and often...

if you play well you get more ice, if you suck for two periods guess what, you ride pine.

Yuck. And Lucic is gone for 10

Or maybe Peters has a game plan, or maybe he sees players in more than 40 minute windows.

Only two periods in and the urge to throat punch Eric Francis is overwhelming.

No, not really. It's called game management. Players that are going well should get more ice time. Players that are struggling should be limited. Especially when the team is losing, you make adjustments to find a way to win the game. Peters is also known for a line blender when things aren't going well so expect to see some changes in the 3rd.

Francis always looks like he’s so proud of himself for not being a flames homer

Plus the other 7 minutes he got.

So he'll be able to return with about 7 minutes left in the 3rd.

I’m just saying that 40 minutes into the season might be a bit premature to call for changes.

And is that how he was so successful against bednar last year in the playoffs?

when our best forward averaged 12 minutes a game?

[Torchdemall]

If Francine had a clue he'd be dangerous!

point being he wasn't kicked out of the game like Francis thinks

[Manhattanboy]

These refs have unleashed inner rage that’s been bottled up all summer.

[OldSam]

Unbelievable reffing.
