I have nothing against the Flames, but I still think that strobe light in the opposing penalty box is amongst the most bush league things in the NHL.

 

[Tkachuky]

just got to a pc. let me guess, it's a bit chippy between the "bob hartley" remnants and the bullies right? i will not be surprised if there's a line brawl tonight considering Kings are desperate (esp if the score gets lopsided)

Quiet night so far.

Plenty of teams do it.

 

[Iapyi]

It is funny to see the fans of the team that contributes the most by far to the NHL, in terms of dollars and media, complain that the NHL is working against them.

the nhl is ballsy but they know that canadian hockey fans can still be taken for granted for a while longer.

with all of your usual anti-maple leaf blather i give you kudos for at least admitting this.

but it's not really funny, moreso just sad.

Doughty is mentally weak

Doughty is mentally weak

He is still a Stud player though.

 

[dig1]

lol, refs realize this game is volatie - so best to call it real tight. i wish more refs would actually do this to actually set the agenda straight so that we get to see skill rather than interference and slashing, esp during playoffs

 

[DJJones]

He is still a Stud player though.

Arguably the best.

But 2 dives, whining, a bad penalty, then losing his composure and getting the unsportsmanlike

Quite the game for him.

Yeah, you're right. I remembered a player looking really affected by it a few seasons ago. Found the video of Scottie Upshall getting strobed in Colorado. This has no place in the league with CTE and related migraine issues.

 

[Del Preston]

Lots of penalties and broken sticks in Calgary tonight.

Thin air

 

[dig1]

so calgary gets a lucky 4 min, and cant do jack squat

i said earlier, i hope this game is close, bc if it is not, it's bound to have a line brawl, esp if Kings are on the receiving end

 

[Little Psycho]

Doughty is mentally weak

He has a short temper for sure. When he gets walked on, he usually comes up big afterwards with a goal or assist.

Its not that im anti-leaf but moreso anti-hype and we all know they are the most hyped franchise due to their media coverage and size of the fanbase here on HF

Plus what isnt there to love about being the lone poster taking on the horde that is the Leafs fanbase when they attack a thread full force? Hahah, its like a game keeping up with the constant notifications.

 

[Gerard]

Is it a short temper or a fiery spirit? If he gets rattled and plays poorly its short temper but if he responds well and steps his game up I think thats just an amazing attitude to have

 

[DJJones]

Look at this guy with his lofty expectations that a team would score on a 4 min PP

 

[Tkachuky]

Yeah it's a tough thing to get NhL to remove. Will probably take someone to have a bad reaction from it until something changes. I don't know much about The dangers though.

Fingers crossed.

Emotion and hatred is good.

Hammonic is killling Flames. didn't know he was this bad

Both? Honestly kings fans get annoyed when he loses it, Doughty himself has mentioned that he just can't help it when he's on the ice but he always feel about it after the game. When he gets embarrassed on the ice, he rebounds later on during the game- it's pretty cool to witness it.

 

[Tkachuky]

Hammonic is killling Flames. didn't know he was this bad

Strong opinion based on watching a period or so of the Flames this season...

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

Hammonic is killling Flames. didn't know he was this bad

Found the Oilers bot.

 

[Tkachuky]

Flames are 50-0-2 when leading after 2 since start of last season....

How is that even possible?

 

[DJJones]

Flames losing the special teams battle.

No kidding.
