[Body Checker]

Sutter looked like a joke last night when Nesterov turned it over on the PP and the Jets had a two on none on a frickin PK.

Come on Daryl, you are not making sound decisions.

 

[DCDM]

"What kind of question is that"

What was the question??

 

[DFF]

Hopefully this is the last time we're seeing Nesterov in a Flames jersey

Nesterov has to play all the remaining games to be eligible for the expansion draft?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

What was the question??

Seems like he was asking a question about being emotionally engaged.

Appears to have been truncated from the video so not totally sure. The moron speaks near the end.

 

[Mobiandi]

We're mathematically eliminated now right?

 

[DFF]

We're mathematically eliminated now right?

No, still have a shot at beating Ottawa for the higher lottery chance

 

[Ace Rimmer]

We're mathematically eliminated now right?

Most points the Flames can earn is 59, with 27 ROW. If the Flames win out, they can still catch Montreal, who must lose 4 of their remaining games in regulation. Can't catch Winnipeg now.

Their fate may be officially decided before the game on Sunday.

The rules for expansion eiligibility are that there need to be 2 forwards and 1 defensemen who have played 27 NHL games the past season, or a combined 54 NHL games the past 2 seasons while also having a contract for next season. This is why the Flames essentially need to re-sign one of Leivo, Nordstrom, Ritchie, or Ryan for expansion eiligibility purposes as the only projected exposed forward who meets the requirements is Lucic, and for the Flames, they already have Giordano, Tanev, Hanifin, and Andersson who fulfill the requirements on defense and one of them is bound to be exposed. Nesterov doesn't factor in a whole lot for expansion eligbility either way due to that.

Technically no, but yes.

Probably not but maybe the wizard has another trick….

well that’s the only logical reason why he is playing….

btw, I thought it was 40 and 70…but maybe prorated for the short season?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Yeah it was prorated for this season.
