  1. On further look, they said "Calgary Area". Not sure there really is a venue that could host AHL games. Stockton wasn't getting much in attendance, but 5-7k is normal. I don't know too mny venues with that many seats.
  2. I laughed at Button on TSN. He made so much sense it was funny. PENS coach complaining about the player having to leave the ice when he lost his helmet. Sid saying something similar. Button says, you don't even know the rules. You lose your helmet, you can pik it up right away. Can't get involved until you do. PENS player whined to the ref and skated off. His helmet was 5 feet away. Know the rules.
  3. I don't think many goalies could make saves the way he did, over and over. The easy shots were just that. But he was deadly in close/ Doesn't matter if you hit his glove or blocker. He was ready for it, tipped or not. Saw two saves where he snagged it between two players in his grill. Had they had Mike Smith in nets, it would have been over in 4. I'm not saying that's what we do with EDM, since Dallas plays a completely different game. Well structured, big defense that know the position. The D joins the rush and is able to sidestep the defenders to get it on net. When they defend the rush, they have layers of blocks.
  4. He gets props for his game play, so I give him a break after losing. It's heat of the moment. He was so disappointed, knowing that some player won't be back. Was given the net when the other two goalies went out. He earned it after that.
  5. Sutter will talk down the young guys at times, but it's not because they don't score. When he's asked about Toffoli, he always says it's not about the goals. He gets fed up with that talk. He plays in the right way all the time. Nobody scores this series. Even with Gaudreau being the top scorer, he only has 8 points. 2 of the goals are game winners.
  6. I absolutely hate the gambling on the sport. It's been around for some time but it's gotten stupid. Betting during a game? Are you kidding me? Kane must have to find a tablet to place wagers in game. The excessive amount of commercials. Give me a break.
  7. Stats can be deceiving. When we played them Dallas was not looking great. Otter had 18 games under his belt at the time and we netted 4. BTW, I never trash people for opinions. I don't like it when it gets negative, but I will just alk away from posting like you do. I don't like to be negative ever. I trash players to try to make them make me eat crow.
  8. A little easier in Alberta. Lou and COnundrumed are 2 hours later. 11:00 game finish here.
  9. It was the ultimate game for them. No bigger stage. No quit. Gave everything they had and then some. 64 shots and probably 115 shot attempts. They went to the net more than I have seen before.
  10. Oh, I thought you didn't watch it when you went off for a bit. It's why I was surprised that you started posting again.
  11. That chance that Hanifin had was just disrupted by the dead stick, He would have had a clean shot.
  12. If we can play with the same intensity in games in the 2nd round, this will be a tough team to beat. Oilers can't handle that kind of pressure.
  13. Yes! I think the Oilers just crapped their collective beds. Jeez, we thought we would get the Old Stars. Nope, you get the Flames. We love to beat on you folks.
  14. I took it off to start the 2nd. Before we started scoring. Did the same in the previous game, but they got a 3rd one on us.
  15. I feel bad for Otter. He could beat any team in the playoffs. Would be a Conn Smythe choice if they had made it that far.
  16. No lookie no need. He knows that spot and it works once or twice.
  17. As much as I believed, I was sweating buckets. I use the jersey off like wearing a cap sideways.
  18. I put the jersey back on and he delivered. He deserves the A.
  19. How did that not go in? Yes, I know. Forth line. Yarny out there.
