Only hope the Flames have is Talbot plays out of his mind.
Agreed. The so call first line in Calgary is a fake. Bubble team will burst. I am not mad as I know when Dallas ties the game this is going to be a 2-2 series.
Flames were obviously going to lose the series as soon as the stars pulled the goalies. Flames p*****d out as usual, and gave up the game tying goal and played with their tails between the legs thd entire OT.
Men vs boys. Gio really ought to think about retiring, he basically sucks at this point.
When the other team has the puck in the zone that’s not what you do
My point is I completely disagree with that logic, especially if the play goes on for a while, in that time you could have got a new stick while you played "short-handed" anyway

I know, but I really think it's time to re-examine this because it intuitively does not make any sense given the way the game is played nowadays. Having a guy without a stick is almost as bad as not being there at all, and you have to be in that position for longer. The time it takes to get a new stick, or change, is enough time for the other team to maybe get a shot off. If you're stuck in no man's land without one for the entire time that they're in your zone, that seems like a much better chance to score.
If someone in the analytics community looks into it and comes to the conclusion, "actually being shorthanded for that few second is worse", fine, but it doesn't seem like anyone is even questioning this potentially obsolete piece of hockey wisdom.
