[GT] Arizona at Calgary: January 16, 2024

[Fan in Exile]

Should have been a major. Crosscheck to the face of a defenseless player.

[JurassicTunga12]

only a 2 minute out of that. ok.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

PING for Rasmus

[1_Flames_Fan]

That should be 5 for sure. Wasn't that a crosscheck to the face?

[Tuco]

Zary looked to be in some serious pain. Greasy crosscheck to the face. Only 2 for that?

[Macindoc]

People complained when the Flames took a high volume of low percentage shots.
Now they complain when the Flames make too many cross-ice passes. Are they supposed to shoot after 3 passes, even if there is no open shooting lane?

I get complaints about someone in a position to shoot passing instead, but maybe we’re a bit too quick to criticize on occasion.

It looks like it's Armed Forces night, so probably that.

[tony-soprano]

Should be a major wtf

[ozzy]

Goal post!

[1_Flames_Fan]

Hope Flames get this game in hand then settle their business.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

At least they tried on that PP.

[Macindoc]

Should be a minimum of a 4 minute PP , and probably 5 for cross checking a player in the neck while he’s defenceless on the ice.

That's exactly what it is for me. I agree, you don't shot no matter what, but if you pass 3 or 4 times and are in a good spot to let it rip, do it. Don't try to pass it for the fifth time to make a prettier play and give the puck away.

[Macindoc]

Pretty low event first period.

[Macindoc]

Ingram still working on a shutout

[Enoch Root]

Even though the shots were only 5-3 and the score 0-0, that was a great period of hockey - fast paced, good passing, and lots of action. And both defenses were fantastic - hardly any room out there, for either team.

One of the fastest paced periods of the season so far.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

The Flames don't even have any tough guys. Who's going after Kesselring? Oesterle seemed like he wanted to go. Greer, I guess?

Their conceding of the shot to their teammates on the PP is like watching canadian drivers concede the right of way at a four way.

[iloveicedhockey]

Yeah, that Kesselring (sp) should have a tough rest of the night, and should get a call from player safety tomorrow. Cross-check to the face followed by a cross check to a prone player. Get the eff out of here.

Will probably get nothing.

[Flames Fan, Ph.D.]

Call me soft but I’d be all for ejections on that play against Zary. Crosscheck to the face and then a borderline sadistic crosscheck again when the player is obviously down and in pain.

That type of psycho action has no place in the game.
