I think I could probably count on one hand the number of times the Flames have played a complete, 60 minute game so far this season. All the talk about how they lack skill, talent, youth, etc is BS. All they lack is the DESIRE to show up and play hard from the opening faceoff until the final horn.

HA, that is just not true. The other team is trying to win as well. Sometimes things don't go your way, but that doesn't mean they weren't trying. Do you play pool or darts? Are you at your best every time you play? When you're not, does that mean you weren't trying? In sports like hockey, it is even more convoluded because the other team is pushing back. Fans of every team in every sport make the same claim: our team doesn't put in 60 minutes every night. But ...

I'll settle for a full 60 min effort tonight as a start.

Is it just me, or is calling diving AND the supposed infraction simultaneously totally counterintuitive? If you got tripped, you didn't dive; if you dove, you didn't get tripped.

yea, it's more a call of embellishing than diving.
-
Yeah I guess so, but then just call the dive. Nobody will ever stop diving if they know they won't put their team SH. I've literally never seen it called on its own.
-
I agree with you HA, and not only that but I think the league should start suspending players for cumulative dives. It affect the integrity of the game

1, 2, 3, and 5 seeds advancing in both conferences...
-
if bettman's going to pre-arrange the outcomes he should be a little more circumspect. HA.

is LOL'ing at our 4th line tonight...Mikkelson, Stajan, Staios...what a pile of crap.
-
All I want for summer is no more Stajan. And Kotalik. And Hagman. Ok and Staios. lol
-
Staios is gone either way. UFA.

I hate Matt Cooke.

I will cheer when he's out of the NHL forever, this guy should not be allowed to own a pair of skates.

Happy St. Patty's Day Flames fans! Get out to your favourite Irish pub tonight and enjoy a green beer or two while the Flames smash the Avs!

Last night's game is a perfect example of why the Flames are so frustrating...hung in a tough game and beat the best team in the conference, yet lose 3 consecutive critical games to the Wild and BJ's. Still not done with the Jekyll and Hyde act.
-
Brent Sutter's PP line of Regehr, Sarich, Mikkelson, Babchuk, and Bouwmeester...the whole thing is apparently a huge joke to everybody. So proud to spend my hard earned money on watching the Flames.
-
You see stuff like that and it is an indication of some out right hostility between the coach and the players imo.
-
I couldn't stop laughing at that. sure does show the players something.
-
That was a bad move by Brent. It goes against his message of looking forward, building confidence and staying positive.

Oh look! The Flames come close in the last minute of the game! Hoooooray! Small victories...
