Absolutely no word on lineup. 6 of 7 D available that have played at least a game. Can we please get a full top line, with everyone going the same direction. Starting lineup doesn't matter. Get the lead early and adjust from there.

They needed to close it out in LA. Only chance they had. Tied with 6 minutes left and they let a D score with a wrister. They just needed to get it to OT.

Sutter has got them to game 7, so now it's time. Show why you were the class of the Pacific. Come out stong, but go to the net hard. Make life tough for Ott. Keep away from his blocker unless it's from the left circle or slot. Fight for the netfront and take his eyes away..

They seemed content to just cycle the puck and not get chances in close. Smith barely face anything.

Smitty going to get a game 7 shutout.

So, one Canadian team out today, another chance tonight.

He's selling his house in CGY, so time to find a short term home for next season. Brodie is thinking, another loss with my ole buddy Gio.

Dallas can decide to go after players if they want. Lucic will be on that first faceoff draw against Benn and tell him. You want Zaddy? You get me. Touch anyone with your dirty play, you will answer to me. We remember the slew foots and high sticks and picks. Welcome to the Dome.

No suspension for Zaddy. Tanev getting some treatments. While I am concerned, we have shown some depth available. Have to get back on the positive side of faceoffs. Maybe put Dube in there. Swap Lewis on draws for the 3rd line. Game 7. It's a bg test to the group. Never shrank from challenges before. Took games 4 and 5 after being down 2-1 in the series. No quit.

That's weak sauce. Penalties are miised every game. Benn didn't get anything for slew foot one and not even a fine. Slew foot 2 got a 5k fine. The stick to Bread's face got a 5k fine as well. That's not an insult to you, just that the NHL PS is a joke. Justify if they want, but it's a joke.

I agree Cross. We haven't had a lot of adversity with injuries all season, but we have passed tests when we faced them. Tanev was looking like the slew foot impacted him game, but others stepped up. May be available for game 7, but Zaddy may be suspended (even if I don't agree). Johnny has put the team on his back to make up for Tkachuk falling off the map. Marky has been near perfect, but has played really well after giving up bad goals. We played all tear to guarantee home ice in round 1. We have it until the WCF. Let's use it.

NHL will protect players after a head shot. Only when it's a few players that committ the offense. Namenstnikov with a head shot to Gaudreau. 2 minute penalty only. Big Bad Zad hits a smaller (not a smurf size) and OMG must suspend. Both were similar violence. Nurse gets one game for intent to decapitate LA player. At worst Zaddy's hit should have been a 2 minute penalty.

Heat sweep the baby Oilers in 3 games in round 2. Onto the next bracket. By the looks of it, it Colorado Eagles for the Pacific Finals, or if you want the West Conference Semis.

Sutter gold, not so much. A little less patient with the media. "Hell of a game. Hostile environment" "Couldn't get the equalizer." "Marky was okay. He's been better than okay." "How's Tanev" Answer "He went down in th 2nd and didn't play after that". "Guys still learning how to win the 4th game".

Maybe. They hit more after that. Only two shots before the 2nd goal and that included a PP. 1 shot before Stone's goal, 3 shots before the Backlund goal. 8 after the Backlund goal. You are right, we dropped off after the tying goal. Part of that was we didn't win any faceoff for stretches of time. Allows far too much momentum. Only Lindholm was able to take a lot of draws and come close to 50%. 44 to be excact. 12 or 27. Jarnkrok was 0 for 12. Backlund 28% or 5 for 18 Lewis 3 for 6, Dube 1 for 2.

If Namestnikov played after the Johnny hit and the guy that clipped McD play..... Tanev has looked better, but not a lot to choose from. No other RD than Stone. Too big a game to go 6D if one of them isn't Tanev. Ritchie is not necessarily going to help.

Home game. I don't know that the Stars got better because of the hit. The 2nd goal was weak, with 3 Flames players on the ice. After the Tanev injury (due to a plyer landing on the back of his leg), we were down a top player. As to Tkachuk, he hasn't been good this series. Walked by Heiskenen, to which he falls down. That's all fine. We just need one game where we play start to finish. Getting down a goal not acceptable.

Message sent. No more games in Dallas this year. Come to Calgary, it's friendly there.

Poor setup on the entry. Another 4-2 game

Big line implies Tkachuk will do something.

Low % shot there Matty.

Backs needs to wind up there.

Get Mange back with Backs. Put Gaudreau out there with Dube. As a double shift.

Patience on the attack. Leave Marky in as long as possible.
