Just not a fan of Looch at this stage. Brings nothing, nom noms the cap-space that should be getting used on a top line winger.

Not really, it's just that there's confusion on this topic, and we would like it cleared up definitively.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Lol I can’t believe some people are getting upset about how names are being pronounced. Lol get a hobby seriously.

[Moneyhands23]

So I see everyone is getting along so well in here.

Game Threads are like the 'Thunderdome' of the internet.

Many may enter, but bad things are going to happen and who knows how many leave?

In that way its not like the 'Thunderdome' at all.

This is another game that really shows the Flames are short a skilled forward. I don't give a damn if they have to bring up someone from the minors and burn some cap space they hope to use at the trade deadline but they need to get another skilled player in the lineup. That's going to mean one of Pelletier, Zary, or Phillips. Don't care who, but get someone in the lineup ASAP. They need more guys that have a proclivity to playing in the middle of the ice and not mucking along the boards. This team is just too predictable.

What word are people supposed to use now when something actually is racist?

To be honest, I barely throw it around ever because I think it's lame.

However,

When a bunch of white dudes are criticizing a Sikh brown man for adding a little extra R roll on his pronunciation of a name he's likely more familiar with, I just shake my head.

Again, who ####ing cares. It's a slight difference in pronunciation away from the English norms. If that ruins your night, and you have to call the broadcaster a "try hard", you might just be a racist.

[Burning Beard]

Anyone see Sutter there holding up 5 fingers (the number of flames penalties) and 2 fingers on the other hand (devils penalties) while making a dumb face at the ref? Classic

[Infinit47]

Putting the 4th line out on the last shift of the second period was absolutely stupid.

Kadri clarified the pronunciation of his name when he came here . somehow announcers are still getting it wrong . it's also not a big deal and most of us don't actually care

people defensive about it care a LOT though apparently and it's making something that wasn't a big deal awkward now

That's racist for having to point out he's a brown man

[Karl]

So Severson's been benched ever since the Flames scored their 2nd goal. Heh, never noticed.

The other problem with not calling anyone up is that it sends a message to Coronato that the Flames will never give him a real shot with the big club if he signs here.

It seems like you care a lot more by calling people racist for joking about Singh being super pretentious. Who’s really overreacting here


Singh is totally the guy who calls it Barthelona after going there for 6 weeks

Cassie Campbell got rightfully roasted around here because she was annoying. It's an asset for a broadcaster to not be annoying.

Singh doesn't get a pass "just because."

It's the pretentiousness that's annoying, not the sounds.

So how about that hockey game
