Pre-Game Talk: Round 2: Battle of Alberta | Game 1 Wednesday 5/18/22 7:30PM

[Ringoffire]

The complaints about the Flames being dirty is primarily directed towards the egregious head shot by Zadorov that warranted a hearing but apparently not even a fine. Sets a precedent that your players can goon it up with little or no consequence. The lack of disciplinary action changed the complexion of game 7, IMO

Tkachuk seems more interested in WWE antics than being actually dirty, but it does seem like he decided to play hockey by the second half of the series.

In any case, the concerns on this end are more based on the series against a sunbelt team that usually gets favourable officiating but did not, that the Flames will get the benefit of officiating into this series as well.

Guess we’ll see. Hopefully it’s officiated fairly on both sides.

This year the refs seems particularly interested in keeping penalties relativley even. The Zadorov headshot for sure was a two minute penalty, but under the current rules they really couldn't really suspend him. Angle of attack, not elevating, it doesn't meet the current standard for suspension. The issue is there isn't a blanket ban on headshots.

They also handcuffed themselves by only giving Nurse 1 game on a non hockey play with a headshot.

I legitimately thought you were lost. You're a Flames fan, you just joined today, you have 3 posts, all of them are on the wrong board.

edit 4 posts..

I just found the convo here interesting. And most Flames fans don't post on Hfboards, there are other places.

Lol at the bolded. We’ll see if Chiarot even gets a hearing

Suspending a guy multiple games for a head butt in the playoffs would be an absolute circus. It’s not like he injured Danault.

Also guessing you missed the slewfoot deliberate attempt to injure Draisaitl from Mikey Andersen too? Nothing for that.

Flames got gifted a game with the 5 on 3 and laughable penalty shot, and got more power plays in game 7. Not so even.

Oh we are quite aware of the primary shit hole many of them they hide in....

A headbutt is incredibly dirty and a non hockey play, very different than a hit from the front with arm and elbow down (which I said should have been a penalty).

The Flames had the third best xgf% of any team, which would lead to some differential in penalties. I believe it was even until game 7 where the Flames had a 3-1 advantage. But the Flames rag dolled Dallas hard in game seven, like really hard.

The Oilers had the closest series in terms of xgf%, but I haven't counted what the penalties for an exact number. They felt even when I watched.

As for the 5 on 3 and penalty shot. The 5 on 3 was from a clear high stick and the penalty shot was a hook (can opener style really) right on gaudreau's hands that prevented him from getting a shot off. Kind of a textbook call in both cases.

Not really hiding, it's just a Google away. And some Oilers folks post there.

Fine. Enjoy the series, however it turns out will be good for Alberta, which deserves some good times.

LOL....you know I didn't mean that literally...though you knew exactly what I meant

I know some Oiler fans post there. I think everyone here peaks in from time to time. Considering I have lived in both cities for about the same amount of time, it is always amusing their "views".

I'm not sure whether or not this was created by someone from this forum but this is pretty outstanding.

Lol what’s your end goal here? Take a lap.

Doesn’t really look like you came in here with an open mind, despite your claims. Yes, Flames can do no wrong, Oilers are the dirtiest team in the league. Have a nice life

 

[Leonardlizard]

Well I just realized the spittin chiclets are total tools. ..

Let's go Oilers!

 

[Oilhawks]

Kings >>> Stars

Don’t bother replying because I can’t see them

 

[bellagiobob]

Shocking.

 

[Ringoffire]

I wanted to see what all these dirty things the Flames did in the Dallas series were because it keeps getting brought up but I didn't see it. It was just an interesting thing that seems to exist here.

 

[Oilhawks]

Shocking.

But they overcame adversity winning in 7 against the absolute stud contender Dallas Stars. Stop with the sour grapes man

 

[Ringoffire]

What's shocking about that?

I can’t be bothered to read your boards but I’m sure there are some things we think are ridiculous that are brought up on your boards. Go away.

 

[syz]

Singh and DeBrusk calling the Colorado series. So either we do get Cuthbert or we're stuck listening to Ball and Millen fondle Calgary's... balls.

Which sour grapes?

I'm pretty sure they announced Cuthbert and Simpson

You would probably get a kick out of some of it. Just seems odd that I can't get an answer to a simple question regarding something this board considers an obvious fact. Isn't the point of these boards to talk hockey?

 

[Oilhawks]

I meant to put

Basically mocking our visitor that thinks we should be bedazzled by his overrated team "shitting on" (in 7 games bro!) one of the two worst teams to make it to the post season. The Preds might have even won a game or two against these contenders

Interestingly, all of the pundits have the Oilers written off in this series, and the Flames written off in the following series. Not a lot of mainstream respect for either club

Yes they did and I couldn’t be happier about it

Haha, gotcha. Pretty sure most of these ‘visitors’ are young guys that sign up and make a bet with their buddy on how long they’ll last before given the boot. It ends the same way for all of them.
