Isn't this why Sarich hated Hartley?

hahaha at them posting Backlund and Ryan’s 5 points against Stastny and Lowry’s 14 points.

Yeah, totally equal.

We still make the playoffs easily but what changes once we are there?

Even Wideman and Russell led us to 1 playoff series win.

On HNIC Burke ran some video of the brutal calls this year.

The league needs to take a look.

It will over time become something akin to soccer

Then you prevent that by a) calling every major instance of embellishment and not calling the original penalty, and b) suspending players who repeatedly embellish. First offence, fine. Second offence, game. Up from there.

This isn't that hard. The message has to be, "if they're hooking you, we're going to call it - you don't have to fall down or make it look worse than it is. And if you do, it'll be bad for you."

Just once, I’d like this team to have a 4th line that either makes less than $8 million, or actually contributes a single thing. I don’t care which one, just something.

Mangiapane-Ryan-Hathaway was a pretty good fourth line, if you want to call it that.

If we would just call up Matthew Phillips, I think he could get chemistry with Lucic or Simon.

Easily make the playoffs?

They might want to start playing a lot better, they're not a playoff team as is.

What else do you expect from JM?

[ben voyonsdonc]

Cassie’s analysis wasn’t strong at all there. The Flames’ centre depth isn’t that great this year so far. Ryan has been terrible, Backlund has been sub-par, and Bennett has been meh.

[TheScorpion]

The Flames have scored just one goal at 5v5 in their last eight periods.

He hated him for his total disrespect of some of the young players.

Sven especially.

They already do B, and they do it after the fact. Kadri for example has been fined several times for diving. Which is reported to the refs, who then ref games that those repeat offenders play in...

Calling penalties consistently isn’t going to “turn hockey into soccer”

[btimbit]

Stats make the game look closer. Jets only with 3 more shots, Calgary dominating in the Faceoff dot. Special teams the difference so far.

[WhiteTiger]

Haha, woo hoo!

[flamingred89]

Haha dope!

[Johnny Makarov]

Killer goal!

[Nammer403]

Wooooo

I saw 5 infractions that period. The two called penalties were not among them.
