Yup, special teams will be huge in the NHL this year.

2 minutes for playing defense

Fine,

Duehr - Monahan - Coleman

Zero chance they call that penalty every time...zero

Now that Mangiapane is rightfully appreciated, Dube has taken over as the most under-rated Flame

That was a helluva save by Markstrom there.

So the working theory is that, if Monahan between Gaudreau and Lindholm works well tonight, it’s a bad thing?

that is what I was going to suggest as well

Dube with a bigger crosscheck than either Gawdin or Razzy. No penalty... because I guess the same rationale as the Flames not getting a 2nd PP in a row early.

The lack of consistency in reffing is baffling. Good luck ever learning what you can and can't do as a player.

Sadly, yes. Cause you know no matter what, that alternate top line would be better.

Purple Gatorade needs to be put into the ground.

Good PKs so far from the Flames

[AC]

Meanwhile the Jets just took their own crosschecking penalty for a light shove in front on that last shot.

Didn't think that was a good call either... this is going to be awful to watch to start the year until they hopefully relax.

I saw that too.

This crackdown is going to drive us crazy for the first few months. I think it best to just ride out the wave and not bitch too much. Everyone is going to be annoyed on both sides of the ice.

[dino7c]

This has to be a Jets penalty right?

I doubt that’s going to be the line. They just don’t have Tkachuk or Coleman. So rest easy and cheer for them to do well. I’d rather see Monahan do well and get into a groove for whatever line he’s centring.

Does anyone remember what it was like the first year they introduced the slashing call? Was it basically everything got called for the first quarter of the season and then teams adjusted?

[djsFlames]

I hate that "CGY" font. Terrible branding for their store.

Pretty sure its straight off their cowboy jerseys.

[dino7c]

Leave it to the NHL to over react...its the full arms extended crosscheck that needed to be taken out...not every little bump

[Reggie Dunlop]

Monahan!
