[GT] Flames vs Canucks

[return to the red]

bennett hooked on the way in and no call. I don't disagree with the penalty calls but if you are going to call them, call them both ways

[Bunk]

Canucks are god awful. Time to really take over.

[AC]

Nice work by Lazar.

[PugnaciousIntern]

That's GOT to be hooking on Bennett no?

[Travis Munroe]

I can’t argue with any call but it is not being called the same for both teams... easily a slash or hook to Bennett’s hands there based on how it’s been called so far.

[dammage79]

I like Lazar.
I like Bennett
I like being patient in regards to both of them.

[Tron_fdc]

Lazar-Bennett-gaudreau combo?

[Beninho]

awful by Bennett again

[Stay Golden]

Bennett plays like a goof and looks like a goof with that scrub beard

Even their fans know, building is 1/4 full

[ComixZone]

Bennett grabbing Dorsett here who tried to jump in like a late pukeface.

[Jeff Lebowski]

The one thing you can say is Bennett always plays hard. Whether he's going good or not he never deters in his effort

[Kaine]

I'm disgusted Bennett didn't get a holding penalty. It only appeared to be a hook from a Canuck, he was clearly trying to steal a stick!

[AC]

Bennett putting Dorsett to sleep behind the net.

I'm with you. I think Hartley would have done as well as GG. I have never seen a move by GG that turned the swing of the game *in a positive direction*. Sadly, I've seen tons of idiotic moves... like 4th line playing the closing minutes while we are down by 1.

I can't help but think we could replace GG with a 1985 Atlanta phone book on the bench and have just as much success or failure.

Every shift he's out there the puck has been around the Canucks net.

Would love to see Lazar score.

I'm worried that the clock is indeed striking midnight for Jagr. He looks... Behind the play.

[GioforPM]

Brouwer isn't chasing on the PK. He's pressuring because the Canucks aren't quick players with the puck. And it's working just fine.

Hate to complain, but if you're calling everything, call everything. Don't pick and choose. Same for both teams.

That is my bone with the officiating last year and this one so far. Nobody knows what they will call and they will call every little thing on one team one night and then do the opposite the next night. If it did not seem so far fetched I would seriously wonder if these guys are betting on games.

But it's the new standard.
