[Vansmack]

Time to implement the dump and dontchase tactic...

[Stay Golden]

It's going to be 5-2 there Gilly.

NM.

Empty netter within 25 seconds?

[Flash Walken]

looking like the Flames should sell at the deadline this year.

The sport fosters this notion by letting it happen, even though they have designated a solution in the form of jersey letters.

It makes the NHL a marginal sports league. If NBA refs weren't literally gambling on the outcome of games, I'd say the NHL is clearly the worst officiated sport in the world outside of sideshows like figure skating and the like.

Its not just hockey, its getting tough in every sport, not just because the refs take abuse from players at a minor level, but from coaches, and parents and even the leagues that they work for.

At some point the expectations in minor leagues have become that everyone's life is at stake.

Its kinda getting tiring.

Refs brutal tonight but this team looks like a macro version of a TJ Brodie brain fart right now and I agree that is on the coach. I yield to the GG mob.

The real reason why Tre did what he did at the deadline

[Psytic]

Smith getting injured was probably the best thing for this team ironically. Now management can see them more clearly for what they are. A 9th place team that was propped up by good goaltending

[direwolf]

Flames are battling in this period, but man, it just doesn't feel like a comeback is in the cards. Nothing has gone our way tonight at all.

[GioforPM]

Avs fans are low info booers.

[activeStick]

Come back, let's do this!!

I genuinely wonder if GG thinks this is the best strategy to get a goal.

This team has only itself to blame for this game (refs suck too - but i hate blaming the refs).

Sure would be nice, after a bunch of OOT games having a 2 goal lead choked away in the dying minutes, for us to answer likewise.

[GioforPM]

Backs, so close.

[badradio]

Why is Rittich still in net? God GG you are an idiot

[Robbob]

So close

[djsFlames]

Stop playing around the ####ing perimeter.

[Stay Golden]

Gio has made a lot of slow decisions on the point tonight. Not a good night.

[1Nite]

Several times tonight Soderberg, throws him self on the ice diving, and the guy that got cut on his neck reacts to a stick close to his neck, and he gets called for embellishment, these clowns need to be accountable.
