  1. don't be so sure about that. remember the last expansion draft. this is not a shot at you, but a lot of smarmy types got punked by that e.d.
  2. you're describing Miller - perhaps forgetting how healthy Miller plays the game. Btw - Boeser also never stops moving his feet (they just don't move as quickly as Hoglander's).
  3. I misread the post chain - he was actually referring to Markstrom. But 'habitually injured' can happen when you throw yourself in front of every shot possible, and take a hit every time to make the first pass. People here don't realize how 'foundational' he was - or how hard it is to look as good as he does in the midst of a rething.
  4. ingrate comment. Tanev did everything he possibly could to make this team successful. Never shied away from a play in his entire time here. edit- apologies - I thought you were referring to Tanev, not Markstrom. That said - Markstrom geting injured would not exactly be 'letting the Flames down'. It looks like they are going to wear on his groin as much as backstopping the transition Canucks did.
  5. Elliotte. "If you're going to make a move, just do it".... Not gonna make a move. So suck it.
  6. 46 shots and 1 powerplay. 19 shots...3 powerplays. The 'possession' appearances actually flattered Calgary.
  7. He and Beagle frustrated the hell out of Calgary tonight. I was concerned when Motte went down. Now I'm salivating over his return. These have been some great efforts with some key energy guys out of the lineup.
  8. The long game with Juolevi starting to pay dividends. He's another one of the young 'stars' on this team - but has an under-the-radar quality to him (if you don't watch him closely, that is, otherwise, it's pretty evident). He gets to the heart of the play.
  9. Hughson clearly wasn't watching the losses - or didn't get the right Coles notes. the problem was not 'giving up odd man rushes'. it was giving the puck away on their side of the red line. he should have listened to Cassie.
  10. that wasn't the only time he ripped Tketchup. Gave him a nice shiver in the crease as well.
  11. Gaudreau is the weiner Monahan the bun and of course, the Tketchup. The milkhotdog line.
  12. nah - Toffoli would have been the wrong move. Tanev / Hughes' partner is more important - and harder to replace a top notch shutdown RHD and regardless = the idea that Tanev dragged Hughes down was sheer idiocy.
