That's bull****, I distinctly remember "pucks in deep" on multiple occasions.

I would be fine if we just did a high slow lob dump in at the blue line to gain the zone. Our entry has been so painful.

Why switch everything and everyone up so much for the PPs?
I have been saying this in the gt since they found some

#Flames# Roster Update: Jacob Markstrom is unavailable this evening due to illness (flu). Jacob was confirmed too sick to play after the 5 pm MT gameday roster transaction deadline. As a result, Dustin Nickel has been signed to an amateur tryout agreement and will backup tonight.

Wonder if that's former Calgary Canucks Dustin Nickel?

Man, would have been a great game to start Wolf.

If Markstrom was sick at say, noon, just call Wolf up. I don't get this.

It was probably one of those things where they thought he might be able to play but it didn't get any better or it got worse.

Definitely odd they didn't just call up Wolf. Wranglers are in town and don't play until Friday. Played yesterday but at least let him back up and get some $$

They had the roster spot, just sit him in the press box if Markstrom takes a turn for the better. I don't know, seems odd.

Markstrom's illness came on suddenly after 5pm. Due to time the roster was frozen from calling up Wolf so ebug is the only option.

I don't get it either. Is there a reason why they wouldn't just recall Wolf? Even if he was sick too, Dansk isn't a bad option either.

There must be a reason, but nothing is jumping out at me.

Edit: I see Buff's post up there. I guess that explains it.

Stupid rules are stupid. Shouldn’t matter in the situations where an emergency back up goalie is required.
