Thread: Playoff Matchups
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>awatt</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>backflip</b></div><div>Habs/Rangers Blue Jackets/Penguins are already locked in. Those will both be great. Battle of Alberta would be great. As would the Battle of Ontario. I want to see Chicago and San Jose have a war in round 1, which is still very possible. In round 2, I want to see Mnnesota try and break the curse against Chicago.</div></div>

I think we are going to get really lucky this year and have great playoff matchups.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Joel1</b></div><div>As a hockey fan, a flames vs Ducks matchup would be very entertaining. As a Flames fan, I would not want that matchup because of the curse.</div></div>

It will be fun to watch, that's for sure. Hockey gets so entertaining this time of year.</div></div>

There would be a lot of rough stuff in that series haha, because of the most recent game with 106 penalty minutes in the 3rd period lol

Thread: Arguably the biggest story recently(Read Description)
In Elliotte Friedman's 30 thoughts, He said that the Calgary Flames had a meeting with the NHL to discuss the way the Flames are officiated. Friedman in talking to Doug Mclean about a call on the Flames joked about the "Wideman Conspiracy" The meeting was very tense, the Flames are leading the league in penalties taken and penalty minutes per game and are still sitting in the final wild card spot, one point behind Nashville. The Flames in the categories last year were 26th and 19th. In the meeting they went through tons of video including multiple no calls specifically against Dennis Wideman. If there has been a conspiracy against the Flames in the officiating it could have a big affect on the rest of the Flames season. If you watch Calgary Flames games often you probably have noticed how bad and unfair the officiating has been to the Flames constantly this year. You can read the full report on 30 Thoughts on sportsnet.ca. Comment what you think about this below

Thread: Trade bennett
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>trdeJong</b></div><div>Just trying to think of a way to constructively criticize your choosing to resign Alex Chiasson.... Sorry got nothing so lets move to all the rookies...

Emile Poirier is yet again under preforming in the AHL and will not make the team text year
Morgan Klimchuk is doing better this year but probably needs 1 more year in the A before getting his shot
Oliver Kylington is also doing well in the AHL this year but also needs at least 1 more year in the A before getting a full time call up

Finally you have decided to split up Backlund and Frolik... This was tried earlier this year (with Frolik on line 1) and failed miserably...</div></div>

The tkachuk-backlund-frolik line is the only reason the flames are still in the playoff race. why would they split up the two when they pretty much the only ones giving offence to the team?

Thread: Refs good or bad this year? Comment what you think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PrinterBob17</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BreKel</b></div><div>I feel officiating has been getting progressively worse as the years have gone on.</div></div>
This doesn't excuse the poor officiating, but I think the rule book has become one big gray area. I honestly don't know what goaltender interference or a legal/illegal hit is anymore.</div></div>

Yeah goalie interference used to be preventing the goalie from being able to make a save, now its pretty much if you touch the goalie the goal is disallowed even if the goalie had a chance to make the save, if the player touched him no goal. For example Nazem Kadri on Martin Jones on December 13 and Nazem Kadri on Roberto Luongo on December 28. Both of those "Goalie Interference" calls the goalies were able to make the save but they were touched. The league needs to revisit the rules on Goalie interference
