No call on the play.  

 

Again Flames showing their colours loud and proud. No wonder they’ve got Tkachuk wearing an A with someone like Giordano wearing the C. Say what you want about letters not meaning anything, but I think the kind of person an organization bestows one on is extremely telling. The Flames have come along way from having Iggy wear the ‘C’.

693 goals and counting for Ovechkin moving past Yzerman for 9th overall on the all-time goal list.  

 

Per ESPN stats & info on twitter - Alex Ovechkin is the 4th player in NHL history to record 35 goals in at least 12 seasons, joining Mike Gartner (14), Wayne Gretzky (13) and Marcel Dionne (13).

And Laviolette was the problem apparently...

Not according to Poile.  He was very upset to be forced to make the move.  He took responsibility and also blamed the players but as he explained you can't change a whole team.

When the coach gets fired, they are blaming the coach for their woes. They want the team to step up, but the axe fell on the coach. If Poile truly believes it's not the coaching, then this is an even more absurd move. The fact that he is questioning the entire team would suggest he believes the team isn't motivated and who's job is to motivate the players? They made a decision and it's looking like the wrong one, just like the addition of Duchene. Have to imagine Poile's time is almost up as well.
