Flames playing disciplined hockey

[dash]

No, this is not a gag subject title...During last night's Hawks - Flames game, Keith Seabrook hit Iggy with a beauty of a hip check (it was a clean check). In the past, I'm sure this would have resulted in a major brou-ha-ha, but last night, nothing happened (Iggy looked to the refs, saw no penalty was called, and play continued).

I just hope this type of mindset (I call it a Wings mindset) continues, pay the team back where it really counts, on the scoreboard.

wings are the posterboy franchise ... canucks have tried to model themselves after the wings ... they play a speed possession game and theyll let you pull the occasional act of goonery so they can burn you on the pp ... Babcock has come to accept the anti-enforcer organization philosophy

just wanted to update this since i posted it Dec 22nd

stat of the day i heard this morning showing how the canucks are trying to shape themselves with the same on ice professional temperament as the red wings franchise displays year after year

minor penalties taken
2009-2010
Canucks: 380 minors
Red Wings: 298 minors

2010-2011 (to date: Dec 22 2010)
Canucks: 121 minors
Red Wings: 121 minors

2010-2011 (to date: Feb 8, 2011)
Canucks: 224 minors
Red Wings: 199 minors


trending the wrong way for canucks

caveat: you need a strong powerplay for that to be effective.
(not that the check was a penalty, but the same principle applies)

Hey dash it looks to be a battle for both of our teams for a playoff spot.

Hey, maybe both of our teams make it at the expense of the Predators and Coyotes? That would be sweet.

Who would have thought the Flames would catch fire like this? I certainly didn't see this coming. Hopefully they'll keep it up. A Calgary vs Vancouver playoff matchup would be great.

But what about all our Pred and 'Yotes fans here on SportsHoopla...
