That was a good decision.

Rinaldo was horrible all playoffs, honestly I don’t think it’s a coincidence the games he played were the Flames worst games from a possession perspective.

You’d put him on the ice and it would tilt towards your end giving the other team momentum because the team would be running around from that shift on.

I stand correct in that it's voluntary. Still doesn't change the fact that we don't know how players and coaches are going to react living in a bubble enviroment.

Have no sympathy if you want.

Please. But it won't and can't happen.

Let’s not get bent out of shape here, it was the DALLAS head coach who made the comments about life in the bubble...

He's honestly not a good person and the team is a trophy on his shelf. That won't work.

Capitalism isn't dominance it's competition. When the odds get unbalanced, you get this. He doesn't care about this team.

I hear Ward strangled a puppy in the dressing room

5 goals 5v5 impacted the game more than 2 PP goals.

Johnny tying his left skate before his right skate first impacted the game. A player skating 22km/hr instead of 23km/hr into the corner impacted the game. A stick randomly breaking impacted the game. He doesn't have to compile a list.

This thread is an emotional rollercoaster.

He tried to, but slipped and then the puppy outplayed him. To his credit, Ward gave credit to the Puppy in the post game presser for being a hell of a team. Figures he's grown and will be better for it moving forward.

A while back I heard from a reliable source (before the arena deal) that the Shaw family was interested in the team. Was also before Jim Shaw’s passing.

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.

Seriously, I lost my dad unexpectedly out of the blue, at the end of March. Couldn't be at his bed side at Rocky View while he was fighting for his life, wasn't allowed to be with him when he took his last breath, had to have a funeral with a max of 15 people attend and grieve while being on lockdown. It pisses me right off to hear how these athletes are whining about life at a 5 star hotel and playing hockey, in a bubble.

Ward tried to take the puppy out for a walk again but the puppy left the room and took his collar off.

The momentum started swinging after both lucic penalties that were scored on. Not sure how scoring 6th and 7th goal affects the game that is already out of hand, so Lucic's penalties clearly affected outcome of the game. Even Pavelski and Bowness said so in their post game interviews. Those goals were huge and Lucic gifted them both PPs

And, not much of a leader if he's outright lying.

Sorry to hear that . My wife often get lung infections. As we speak she is actually battling pneumonia again. That's with is beimg isolated from absolutely everything. I don't even work anymore since numbers are shooting up again here and being In Victoria alot of our cases start because of tourists from Alberta and Ontario. We've been to the hospital many times over the last year and I've had to wait outside 8+ hours everytime. Its tough.

How could you ever think the players would be forced? I know Gary Bettman comes across as a tad controlling....but....

[JohnnyB]

I'm not angry, but I'm fine with saying goodbye to some of the core players for next season.

That was actually their best game of the series, and a terrible way to get the boot out of the playoffs. Ugh....

well that's not what happened people are just looking for blood

He wanted to put Talbot back in right away but he wasn't on the bench...All Ward said is that the trainer told him it was an "equipment issue"

Talbot was in the tunnel having a moment, likely took his equipment off
