i thought dash wanted the Flames to keep losing

I just can't get on the "losing to get a higher draft pick" train. Flames will probably end up with pick #5 or #6 and still get a pretty good player in any event.

No Such for Tuch? Play like weenie for Perlini? Be bad for Ekblad?

I agree with this sentiment, it's good that there are guys on the Flames who are developing as players right now - they still need a lot of guys in order to get better - but guys like Mikael Backlund who are developing really nicely, it's a good sign for the future

Flames just need to keep stocking up and at some point good things will happen

I couldnt get on that train either. I hate losing. I hate my teams losing. I hate it more than i like winning.

Joe B. and Craig are in rare form tonight. I love it when Joe B. just reaches the point where he can't take Craig anymore and just stops trying.

I missed it, but I heard they had a little pout-fest at the Oilers bench?

From what I read on twitter, that would seem fair

Caps will have most of that power play going into the third period - will be interesting to watch

Vlasic lucky he didn't get a hooking AND a high stick there. Puts his team in a real pickle to start the 3rd.

Funny you mention that, in the Blues/Flyers game today, Claude Giroux got called for two penalties on the same play - although two different refs called them, rarely does a player get called for two penalties on the same play

I just saw the Hall - Eakins exchange, Hall slammed down a water bottle and sprayed Eakins with a bunch of water and the coach was pretty upset.

If I'm Dallas Eakins, I'd rather have someone have passion like that than someone not having any passion - I think he should give him a pass there, that's a tough spot in the game when your team is getting your ass kicked

Another tier one fan just threw their Oilers jersey on the ice...Scrivens tossed it back into the crowd.
