I guess this is where we disagree.

Yes, I am aware. It's the only gear I've ever worn. And it's part of my reasoning relating to the way they should redefine the rule in question. Goalie equipment is self-evidently purpose specific. That is, it's designed to protect the athlete whose role it is to intentionally get hit by the PUCK, ...

"Dad", There's contact and there's CONTACT. Running a goaltender the way Lucic did shows a complete lack of respect for the traditions of the game. I see you're a Veteran Listercat, so I offer this with all due respect. I think that a goalie who thinks he can venture OUT of the crease like that and...

No league wide uproar over that one.

Lol, you have been reaching recently.

I remember Patrick Roy getting thumped hard like that and there wasn't an inquisition over it, just a penalty. I remember when Markus Naslund took an elbow/shoulder to the head that knocked him out and NO penalty was called because it as deemed a clean hit. I hope we continue to have discussions ba...

but somehow I suspect he'll escape punishment on that too (which makes me hate the guy even more). No supplementary discipline for Looch, Brendan Shanahan left no stone unturned (ie. he asked Lucic if he meant to concuss the opponent's goaltender and he said no) in his investigation. Considering ho...

Matt Stajan isn't in the lineup either tonight.

And Babchuk has been a healthy scratch.

On a related note, name 7 players that would be loved if on the Canucks.

So I was driving around this afternoon here(Calgary) listening to the fan960 as they discus whether to rebuild, retool or whatever. I got quite a kick out of how highly they rated Bourque's trade value. They seem to think he could fetch a couple of top prospects. Unbelievable. They couldn't even ge...

really is a strong indication of the management style that franchise has suttered with... Well, in all fairness to Sutter, he did revamp the Calgary Flames farm system and scouting. The problem is, he traded away too many high draft picks. Calgary has drafted well in the last few years. It'll take ...

Yeah I was listening - like I said - I'm not surprised. What a waste of setting up a Canadian satellite dish down here in Arizona, just to watch the Flames. It's going to be a painful 5 years or more. Long time Canuck fans can relate to your predicament. Smart long time Canucks fans went through me...

I'm disappointed, but obviously not surprised. Looks like another long season for the Flames.

80 more Flames games for Canucks fans to enjoy.

It's a great place to see people eat their own pubes.
