How is it flawed. You put a person in isolation and ask them to be away from their family and their daily routines. People had to isolate during COVID and give up daily routines and some suffered mentally.

Dallas is going to get dusted by the Avs. I take comfort in that. Like, destroyed. Flames kept Benn and seguin relatively quiet. Imagine what the avs will do with top players who actually show up. I dislike the Avs too but, given how fresh this loss is I hope mackinnon and co humiliate them. **** you Benn.

Go back and reread the original post. The part about "voluntarily" should pretty much explain everything vs "being forced to be there". Wow.

Damn that sucks. I thought the most Flames thing ever would be a big win today followed by heartbreak in game 7. Turns out they found a way to Flames it up even more spectacularly.

Of course the Oilers acquisitions looked great early but collapsed when it mattered.

I’m looking forward to the remaining playoffs and big changes for Calgary in the off season.

I hate this the most because the Stars are truly the bad guys. And if this was the movies you know everybody wanted Johnny Gaudreau and friends to break through to vanquish crotch-spearing Benn and his band of gargoyles.

Was supposed to go down differently this time. All indications pointed that way. But the calls, the top line, the goaltending, something would go completely sideways just the moment you thought it was safe. Hard to comprehend, and I just feel bad for the CP users that I know were invested and hopeful.

I have no words left.

Ward just isn't a head coach. We need a new head coach and that head coach should be able to pick his own damn staff.

Ward talking about how they won a series. Whatever man. Loser talk.

This year ended in the exact same way that last year did. "No one gave us a chance". Oh good grief. Patting himself on the back for getting 6 games. What a joke. So many excuses.

Wardo...that was embarrassing.


Haven’t heard it, thanking the summary

But the sentiment is right on

When you take out Zach Rinaldo and give Buddy Robinson 10 minutes of icetime, that's amore!

No ####ing ####... I've been on lockdown since march 15th. My wife has a serious issue with her lungs . They get to sit in fancy hotel rooms waited on hand and foot to play a millionaires game. You know whats tough? Pretty much giving up everything you have to make sure your wife stays alive. No friends over,no parties ,no eating out nothing . I had to work by myself either the 2 days our shop was closed and evening shifts alone. Only making a portion of what you'd earn . Etc etc..

#### their bubble and how tough they think it is.

How many games have you watched where a team won but gave up a few PP goals?

Sure so in this game we got scored on, did it not impact the game?

What an absolute joke of a comment that is. Their are millions of other people who have it way worse. Like zamler said, people who have lost their jobs, businesses and loved ones. You have to stay in a 5 star hotel and play hockey and you consider it difficult??? You could have opted out. **** off.

That's not how capitalism works. We're stuck with Edwards likely until the day he dies.
