Such a marginal call.

How about a 2 minute Flames PP?

Ryan is doing well as the 3C. Where do you move Backlund then? Replacing Janko would be an expensive albeit positive move but then you're down a penalty killer.

Yeah, it's semantics regardless.

I've just always viewed a good tandem as a 1A/1B situation closer to how it feels right now with Rittich/Talbot.

I also think McLennan doesn't get enough credit for 2004, especially as he was traded. I even know for a fact that the Flames were ready to give him a Cup ring had we won!

Whoa! Bit of an oversell job there. Back on the PK for the Flames. Go Flames!

I think moving Ryan is a waste of his abilities as a C even if it’s to the top line. I’d move Dube and put Backlund on the third line with Ryan, because all players seem to do well with Ryan (which was what used to happen with Backlund).

Easy goal. Janko kinda let up on the pressure there.

Alright refs, you tied it for them. How about just calling the rule book going forward?
