I doubt we get any but I would be happy with one for Hamhuis but since the NHL is only concerned with results and not process everybody suits up for the bloodbath in game 4

The Burrows suspension, if the league does their job correctly, isn't for the fight but for the hit on Gaudreau. Dangerous hit from behind near the boards.

On the gamesheet at 20:00 of the third, it's showing Sbisa as 5 min for fighting and Engelland as only 2 for roughing.

What a great crowd! Unreal!

No but apparently Bennett is 18 years old.

Wonder why everyone wants to talk to him?

Ferland to Bieska:

Great win every flame player stood up and was counted for. Great physical but smart play

Vancouver have some of the dirtiest players around weather it's boarding, head shots , sucker punches or diving , trying to con refs and constant bitching

Bikes a and co will get what's coming to them some day and hopefully it's us that does it to them

Flames with a solid, punishing game. Great playoff game, this team learns quick. I thought we were a small fast team, but they played tough as nails today.

The NHL better deal with the Hamhuis hit on Bennet. That is just straight up cheap.

Another incredible playoff hockey game (contrary to what Steve Simmons says). The Calgary Flames just bring it, plain and simple.

Difference in this series right now is that Calgary is showing considerably more quality depth than Vancouver. The Sedins have been better than Monahan-Hudler but Gaudreau has still been consistely the most dangerous forward. They are canceling each other out and its the newly-assembled second line, featuring an 18-year old and the newly-assembled shut down line featuring the most effective player in the playoffs so far, also a rookie.

And Calgary's 4th line was very good tonight. Bob Hartley continues to make all the right lineup decisions - getting Raymond in and the guy was a difference-maker. Sticking with Bollig. The decision to go with Bennett and stick with him after falling off a bit in Game 2. The confidence in Engelland. Sticking with Schlemko. The boost for Stajan to the third line. Unbelievable the amount of good personnel decisions this guy has made on a team with zero margin for error.

TJ Brodie has taken a major step forward in this series and I'd call him the best player of the playoffs so far. He fell off a bit the second half of the game tonight but he is just doing what he wants out there, factoring in enormously on the offense with a new-found aggression not seen since Giordano went down. He is looks like 04 Leopold in the D-Zone, making so many nice little skill and smart plays.

The Canucks are an embarrassment. Bieksa should absolutely get a game for targeting head. And Burrows should be suspended for attempt to injure on Gaudreau.

Not sure where this one is going but the Flames have a winning equation right now. Amazing that they don't have Giordano and Bouma. Sounds like 2004. Just have the winning equation. Feel like the top line will get going but they are physically outmatched, so will be interested to see where that goes. Awesome to be up 2-1 on these pathetic losers.

Hartley post game live on calgaryflames.com.

[Redrum]

Dayum, there's gonna be casualties before this one is over. I bet the first Canuck to challenge a guy his own size will be the first one.

[bigbadboss101]

Everyone contributed tonight. I do want to see the 6th D man play more though. Need to have some faith and also not worn out the top 4.

Colbourne I would like to see him take some toughness lessons. That size but such a gentle guy.

Spoiler!

[chummer]

Great game......ya,ya,ya.

[BigRed]

Lots of talk about Ferland but thought Jones had a great game, throwing his weight around, and Backlund had his mojo working, not just with puck but stirring things up a bit. Almost an agitator! Good to see. Everyone's all in on the emotional side

I actually thought they were much less biased today. They called a decent game.
