Wasn't there some CP drama back when we had our playoff series?

I mean, which time, that place is always on fire. Kesler sitting on a puck probably freaked them out.

You can't win here! Ahh. Those guys were our playthings back in the day.

I do feel for the Flames fanbase - one of the most enervated and fatigued group of fans in the league. Their management and ownership are never willing to commit to anything.

Our ownership and management have at least committed. Now it remains to be seen if Pat's decisions have been good but they at least committed to something and a while ago. I think the Flames just now are getting serious about rebuilding.

Was it the guy reinventing calculus to prove that a ducks goal was hit with a high stick?

Anyone know how long I need to wait for blackout restrictions to be lifted? It's still blacked out for me on ESPN.

Thoughts on RD Lindstrom returning to the Ducks next year? He'll be an RFA with arbitration at the end of the season. Not including today's game, he's played 25 games for us with 5 points and a +7 rating. He's sneaky good that way in keeping puck possession and not panicking with the puck.

Seems like he refocused his game to be more defensive with Anaheim than being offensive with Montreal.

He also plays a very natural looking physical game along the boards

I think your hope for Cronin is the same as Cronin's hope for Cronin, which is that Zegras, Carlsson, Zellweger, and to a lesser extent the rest of the young guys can actually play healthy games. It's night and day having a healthy Z out there for zone entries and just completing passes generally.

Wouldn't that suggest that the issues have more to do with the roster than the coaching?

Maybe, maybe not. Obviously the injuries have been devastating. I've said many times, I don't blame Cronin for our record. But did we ever adjust this season, or did we just keep playing the same system the players have struggled with all year and hope for the best with the AHL roster we had? I think the latter, and that's coaching.
