It looks like he had some good runs in the ECHL but he never "won" the championship.

Pfft, it's Oilers banner-worthy.

I donated my tickets to KidsUpFront. At least someone who wants to go is happier than me tonight.

I don't mind Bennett penalties resultant from playing with an edge. I really hate his all too frequent high stick infractions.
As to the game of course I care. What a horrible thread title.

A good comparison to do is watch the BOS-TBL game on right now and see how good teams play the puck up through neutral zone and into offensive zone through the middle of the ice. Compared to how CGY has done it all year - up the boards all the way.

You will see good teams creating quality possession and chances compared to CGY mucking along the boards, dumping it in then sending back to point for weak shots into defended scoring areas.

Horrible thread title. Wonder why I keep coming back.

Not at all, I am blessed to have the luxury, but not many kids are. I found out there were 370 requests to go to tonight's game.

CPers, make a difference if you feel you small token can make an impact on the ones in need.

I am happy for whoever took my tickets to experience it tonight. Happy Easter!

How's the view from up there?

[Skaloper]

That has to hurt seeing Anaheim 4 Calgary 0 etched in Stajan's 1000 game award!

[Jetfire]

Hah that mini silver stick is too darn cute.

[timbit]

Awesome accomplishment by a class person and player.

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

The crowd is pathetic

[GioforPM]

Was that Brouwer that Stajan punched in the face on a clip?

ETA: Nope. Borowieki.

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

This is the worst lineup I've seen iced in the NHL in a loooooong time.

I just get the sense that Treliving is not going to make a change just to placate fans, and there are fairly strong indications that Gulutzan is highly regarded in hockey circles.

Haha, yeah. He's highly regarded as a coach that's easy to play against. Of course his counterparts advocate for him.

Not so sure he's mad at the Flames for that, but I don't doubt that he'd be more than happy to see a guy like Gulutzan minding a bench in the NHL, if only to make his own job easier, a couple times a year.


Ok, yeah, that's conspiracy theory territory. But seriously, what's Tortorella supposed to say, anyway? They're good friends. I see the best qualities in my good friends, and that's what I will talk about if you ask about my friends. What do you think I'm going to say, that they can be real a-holes if they're drunk, and that if you argue certain topics they refuse to see another point of view? No, I'm going to tell you that they're really damn good people, because they are.

Frankly, the amount of loyalty that some coaches show some other coaches/players/vets etc, is annoying.

Not me, I caught a bit of the Oilers game the other night.
