I'm actually officially done with the Flames and the NHL after this season if we miss the playoffs. Not because of the Flames but because of the NHL's behavior over the Widman incident.
This is clearly a playoff team at this point and we're being systematically broken down to a fringe, possible non playoff team. The facts are too clear, if we miss I have enough justification to give this league up, and will with the other sports I'm now following.
The Flames were my team since I was a kid and the NHL was my only sport and I've have had so many great memories, but the NHL on top of becoming a weak, possessive game that doesn't inspire much emotion has done something here with the Flames that a beer league hockey commissioner should be embarrassed of, let alone a billion dollar sports league.
Take it easy. The Flames are getting the short end of the stick from the officials but they still control their own destiny. They need to play better than they did in the first period end of story.
The Dome might be the quietest building in the league. You'd think the team just came back from a winless road trip and playing in a meaningless exhibition game or something.
Hope we expose brouwer in the expansion draft. Ive been really quick to excuse some of his play earlier this season but its getting ridiculous. Put him on the 4th line and scratch chaisson. How is our worst forward earnijg over 4 million. Our worst defenceman earning almost 6. People wonder whats wrong with our team. We have over 10 million in dead salary.

Not much to cheer about in that period. Flames didn't score, and that horses--t goal and resulting delay seemed to take the wind out of the building.
You know...It might have been Engellend's stick actually
No, it wasn't. Engellands stick is in the area but he has one hand on his stick and is pushing at Pearson when Elliott's pad is shifted. There's no way that is turning Elliott's body completely sideways.

And no way does Engelland hit Elliott's pad that hard. At best he's trying to freeze the puck.
The real mistake though was signing Wideman to a contract
