[GT] Sharks @ Flames

[the_only_turek_fan]

Can someone please explain to me why it has taken this long for Garnett Hathaway to get into the lineup?

There is no rule about the visor in fights, AC is mistaken.

Any instigator penalty is an automatic 10.

[Roof-Daddy]

Shots were 7-2 Sharks early in the first.

Since then 24-4 for the Flames.

F U Jones.

That's a good point. I'm really not sure then.

Either way, I'm not sure how you could see that play and say Hathaway was instigating the fight. Burns was all over that.

If anything Burns instigated, Hathaway just retaliated

[OldSam]

The announcers said game misconduct. So did the refs get the penalty wrong? The refs got the penalty wrong??? I cannot believe that. A mistake?

Hurry back, Garnet.

Getting rid of David Jones.

uhhh kind of lame argument in a game where calgary has had a ton of pp time including a 5 on 3. Certainly a bad call in this instance, but c'mon. It's clearly been slanted in the flames favor today in terms of calls.

Pretty much this. Doesn't hurt to let guys develop in the minors while you wait for contracts to expire.

No kidding, had a good camp. Shame it took so long to sump dead weight like Jones and Raymond

[GranteedEV]

God, Colborne had an open Bennett right behind him and just looks him off. This is what I hate about Colborne on the cycle.

Yeah and one very vocal poster said that was a bad trade by the Flames, failing to realize that it opened up a spot for a guy like Hathaway to come in and cut his teeth.

Link to the instigating rules for those interested.

To think some people thought the sixth + Backstrom wasn't worth it. Addition by subtraction if you ask me, the pick is just a bonus

[GranteedEV]

A other power kill for Martin J0nes

[the_only_turek_fan]

I love this guy. I really hope Hathaway stays. Exactly what we need. Reminds me of Glencross circa 2009.

[dieHARDflameZ]

This is the Flames 7th PP of the game? Nothing to show for it yet...

[Hockeyguy15]

San Jose is so careless with their sticks, I don't remember seeing this many in a game before.

They don't even try to get the calls right though. Sure, the volume of penalties favors the Flames so far, but I don't care.

Lately it's been the stuff they don't call as well. Burns shouldn't be playing if Hathaway isn't.

Sweet, another PP. Maybe this is payback for the 10 minors last time.

[Aegypticus]

Sharks are really reckless with their sticks. Not impressed.
