This is a big thing that many people are ignoring when it comes to our new acquisitions, both Gus and Bort have played on top pairings before. albeit on poor teams, but that experience (and physical/mental conditioning) is invaluable and giving them lesser competition will only help them look better. Plus, because of their previous experience, they will be able to take on extra minutes if a defenseman gets tossed or injured.
Yeah I don't put the blame on Cassie or Rick Ball for that. The guys in charge of choosing the replays picked the worst angles to show what happened definitively. So instead of describing the great effort for the goal, Rick and Cassie have to spend several minutes discussing whether the Flames got away with something.
Meanwhile Boston shows this immediately:
It's the same with SNET's obsession with infographics that cause the viewers to miss a faceoff. The Flames PP goal looked like this on SNET, jumping back to live play mid-action: https://streamable.com/aoaa0
Just sloppy across the board from SNET I find.
If you really want to hate SNET, here's their highlight package for the game. Start watching at 3:44. Entire narrative is "hit a player" without showing the correction at all.

Calgary's differential continues to improve. After last night, it's now only - 6.
Anyone remember what that differential was when Peters left the team? Or know a site where you can find that data?
As an aside, I wish you could just easily select date ranges to collect stats from on the NHL site, or that they would allow you to download a data file of all the stats from the season so far so that you could dig into them more.

Agreed. Though what I thought was poor was Cassie implying that the goal could be called back. She said something like "I don't want to cut short the celebration but..."
She should know what is reviewable and what isn't.
