Flames with 84% XGF 5V5 and CLB has a penalty #### and PP.

This league has serious officiating issues.

Right, exactly! I agree that Lewis has earned the leash he's been given, even if he's hardly irreplaceable.

I think the Lucic spot is what badly needs addressing and where you can put somebody new.

Ya just an awful pass he made on the Lucic goal against St. Louis last week. Such a bad passer.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Lewis is the only vet that has been good consistently. I don't have issues with him. That line has played very well.

Eric Francis: "If you watched it on tv!!" LOL. Sportsnet cut it off!!

I was not able to watch it on TV Eric.

Or both. What a team that might be.

calls are mostly game management now

I am starting to get pissed about Kylington....they should put him on IR if he is not coming back this year. I understand it must be something really heavy but how do you pay him for the whole year and hes not coming back?

I know Duerr just scored, but I would love to see:

Mangiapane - Backlund - Ruzicka
Huberdeau - Kadri - Phillips
Dube - Lindholm - Toffoli
Pelettier - Lewis - Coleman

and I don't hate that by any means, but this offense also needs someone to push lucic out of the top 6

They lost Tanev tonight, and we know what they didn’t without him last POs. And even with him in but hurt..

Well she should probably do less blow then. And definitely not snort anything she finds in a random dudes coat pocket.

Gilbert in for Stone

TDL pickup covers for Tanev if needed

They don't need the space now

Okay seriously he’s been decent the last 10-15 games (excluding the 2 before Tampa).

*Checks CapFriendly*

Um...no?

19 points in 47 games would put him on pace for his best offensive season ever. Plays very strong defense and checks hard. Provides some leadership.

I know my rational explanation isn't going to move irrational hatred, but it's just an odd player to hate. He plays hard every night.

[browna]

Watch the bench on the PS, Lindholm doesn't watch, he's facing the other way.

Ok, but that literally wasn't we were talking about and Lucic has nothing to do with it.

Except you are always calling him Sutters "pet"
