If what was said about the closed-door meeting was seriously to tell Chucky to stop mixing it up every single night then its kind of obvious this team isn't ever going to win anything. In what world do you tell your star player to stop doing what makes them great? How does that make any sense? Oh, right! Its Calgary, the city where everything is done exactly as it always has been regardless of results, and you will conform or be destroyed.

So when the flames come out flat and the system deployment is the same.
Ward makes no changes and rolls 4 lines for 60 minutes how do we figure we change things for the better?

He said one of the items brought up were Tkachuk's teammates telling him it "couldn't be a riot" every night

I'll have my hand on the cord, ready to pull the plug if the first period looks nothing like it has the last 2 games.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice... you can't get fooled again!

Thanks.

Was it Elliotte’s “I wonder if...”, or an actual “I was told that”.

I.e. Comparing to his “I wonder if the Pens trade Malkin” from a year ago that blew up, and was just his wondering...

It should be completely unsurprising. It should be the obvious right decision. With Dimble#### behind the bench it is 50/50 that is the way it happens. "But we have a plan" "But we decided last June Ritter would get this one" "But Leivo and Looch are really good guys so they should be on the ice for the last minute down a goal" "But if I call a time out it reduces my bonus as I get paid for every timeout I have not used because...reasons" I am so sick of this ####.

Sounds just like something Milan Lucic would say, very similar to his comments when asked why he didn't fight any Oilers after Matthew Tkachuk was thrown around and humiliated by Zack Kassian.

Mixing it up is what makes Chucky great? I agree it is part of his game but lately, it seems, the more after-whistle crap he does, the worse he plays. I agree with other posters that believe teams are goading him into doing that stuff because they know it takes him off his game. I prefer the hard hitting goal scoring player to the one that seems to be losing the respect of the refs.

No goals for Markstrom in all that? What a shame.

Relax. It's just a hockey game. Save the vitriol for something that matters. God knows there is enough going on right now that deserves our emotional investment a lot more than hockey.

I plan to watch the game tonight because hockey is (usually) fun. When it is not, that doesn't really have any tangible impact on the things that really matter.

GFG.

LOL. So you agree with the decision, yet you take the opportunity to crap all over the decision maker anyway.

BTW, if I have an empty net and I’m looking for a garbage goal with a big net front scramble, or a screened point shot I might just throw Lucic on too.

It is so crazy that BT (and I believe him) says they put an emphasis on compete and hockey sense. But the team hasn't competed like crazy since Hartley...

Just mind bottleing
