At what point will the NHL be able to afford to put multiple cameras in the crossbar? I'm sure that I could retrofit a net with crap off of amazon for less than $1000. It has been Almost 20 years since the Gelinas goal. The fact that they haven't addressed this yet is frankly embarrassing

Why not under the ice, in the posts and a sensor in the puck?

Apparently, every time they try to put anything in the puck, the PA throws a hissy fit.

It creates a storyline, entertainment, emotions… something most watch sports for and very rarely does it decide a championship unless….

Flames have 5 PPG players.
I know it's early but what's there to complain about, especially after last year?

I think some folks think the record should be better than it is and thats why there was some frustration around here.

I personally think it's a great start and an amazing opportunity to move to 3-1-1 against CBJ tomorrow.

Not that, for sure, but at what cost? Please take this with half a bottle of salt since it's only been four games.

This year: 3.25 GF, 3.50 GA, 18.8% PP, 93.3% PK, 33.5 SF, 29.0 SA
Last year: 3.17 GF, 3.07 GA, 19.8% PP, 82.6% PK, 36.0 SF, 27.3 SA

And that's after it's generally felt like the goaltending has been better, but the goaltending stats are kind of the same? 1 ENG apiece in there.

Shot margin is smaller this year, which I think we all expected, but the Flames are still positive there.

Our opponents are 2-2-0 against us and 3-8-0 against the rest of the league.

Always good to wake up to a flames win. You can tell we won because the PGT is so short ��

Why did Jared Bedar not like Zadorov? I don't get it.

Can they see through equipment? If not, then pretty much nothing is solved. Except the odd, obvious, completely visible from above pucks.

They need to place the tech under the ice. Problem solved.

There were a couple of plays tonight where I miss guys like Robyn Regehr.

I bet the cost/benefit of puck/line tech is not worth it. How many times a year would that tech solve an issue that the video couldn’t?

I would say for a good portion of his time with the Avs, Zadorov was still a big awkward kid who hadn't completely become a reliable NHLer yet. He had flashes and was as physical as ever, Avs fans still like him in hindsight, but he was way more prone to clumsy mistakes than he is now.

I think the record is fine it is the play that isn't very good.

So if you are on the get in and anything can happen boat than picking up these points are a positive. If you are in the this team is mediocre and not competing for anything boat (and yes I know these are very simplified groupings) than the lackluster performances have given you a lot to be concerned about.

The team has ground out points in games they haven't played well in, they have taken advantage of some bad teams and a terrible goalie tonight. That is good to get points to try and get a WC but long term playing this poorly doesn't seem like a likely way to have much success.

Yeah i can see a myriad of issues.

I may be wrong but how well would a piece of electronics work through a couple inches of ice?

Also, anytime something underneath the ice service failed, would it not require "melting" the entire surface to replace, and then a re-freeze? Thats a process that would require days each, and thats only if the building had no events scheduled during that time and at a big $$$ cost.

I get it that last nights example was probably in, and there just wasn't an angle that showed anything conclusively, but really how often does that happen? 2 or 3 times a season league wide?....Maybe?
