I mean, from word one forward it was pretty clearly racist. It's the silly "you people that come here" could mean anyone argument all over again.

Mods do a great job, we just got to let them take care of it and enjoy the game!

It is hard to fathom Darryl has been coach only one full week. There are so many positives but for sure the letdown in the second is to be expected. I have faith the coach will straighten them out for the third. Go Flames!

For years, I haven't been able to understand all the praise heaped on Mike Smith for his puckhandling. He likes to play the puck, yes. That doesn't mean he's good at it.

This is the absolute last I'll say on the situation, but Khaira isn't Afghan, he's Indian. Also Jiri made mention of one of the original poster's other comments:

I kind of want a boring Sean Monahan tweet now just making up some boring thing he said to Ritchie in the penalty box after that fight.

Maybe something like: "You really popped a slice in his toaster"

But haven’t you heard!?! He’s like a 3rd D man out there! And stops the physical toll on your defense

I thought the Flames were a bit sloppy and as some have said they were backing up too much... Need a bit more in your face and north!

The letdown in which they outscored the Oilers 3-2?

It was one of their better 2nd periods all season.

He is very good at it (for a goalie). That doesn't mean that he should be doing it.

He is good at it, for a goalie. BUT it doesn’t help his team much. He doesn’t have anywhere near the ability to move it to a skating forward that a defenceman does, nor doe he have the option of skating it himself. So he ends up firing a long pass to a stationary teammate and he gets checked easily.

One in a blue moon he will connect for an assist. I suspect those instances are way more rare than his screwups leading to a goal against.

Here comes a solid 12 minutes for McDavid/Draisaitl in this period

...also, if Backlund could stop taking stupid penalties, that’d be great
