1. Luca Sbisa sucks and is extremely overpaid.
2. How old is Sam Bennett?

Excellent news on the new site. I was wondering about a half hour ago why has no one stepped up and done a site.


I agree on the goal. It was called no goal on the play , there was no conclusive camera angle to overturn the decision


Canada getting their asses kicked, I don't care though

New site pretty much like NHL numbers

The puck was in Carol.

As much as I am not a Flames fan it was clearly across the line. Shades of 2004 when Gelinas potentially would have scored the cup winning goal that was disallowed (it was also in). There may have been a riot on the red mile if that play would have cost the Flames the game. It's just Gary and his merry band of idiots up to their regular bag of tricks. You could read Getzlafs' lips and even he said 'it was in'. SN360 late last night had a high def shot of the left side (from the front) of the net blown up in a magnified circle and to me it looked clearly across. How the war room could not determine that is beyond me.

Regardless of overhead views or 'snow' in the way or not a conclusive call by the ref on the ice the camera coming down showing the left side of the net clearly showed it was in. If the league ain't going to get these right moving forward we may as well ditch instant replay altogether.

I don't think there is any question whether puck was in or not. Where is the video proof to overturn the on ice decision

Right at 0:17 seconds. I couldn't find the blown up image that SN360 showed last night but that to me looks in. There is white between the puck and the goal line and that ain't snow. His goal pad was well back in the net and to me the puck looked clearly across when it hit his pad. Even the two announcer said it was in upon that replay at 0:17.

Yes, the puck was almost certainly in. As Vantel says, the sticking point here is the lack of incontrovertible evidence.

Did you look at the Jason Kay piece that I linked to? He illustrates pretty clearly why the angle from the left that we saw is not a sure thing—and why the war room must have the overhead view in order to overturn a call.

Good, now there is no need to discuss drafting those 3.

Carlo just seems like a Benning pick. Big guy with questionable hockey sense. Overrated prospect.

I think we already have that Dman in Pedan. We have three guys in our system over 6' 5 . Andrew Alberts was also over 6'5.

We need a puck mover that can shoot. I know Pilon is rated around 46 but I like his skills more than Carlo.

The secret is to actually get Pedan in and Bieksa out. That's the real trick

I understand all of the intangibles involved Carol. But if something like that 'incontrovertible evidence' ends up costing a team the Stanley Cup then I believe that doesn't bode well for the credibility of the NHL and why we have High Def instant replay in general.

The credibility will never be trusted regardless of which way the call went. They made the right decision .

I'm not convinced it was completely in. The overhead angle is the most trustworthy and it wasn't debatable on that angle that it was in, the only thing casting doubt is the side angle illusion. They really need cameras in the post junctions for a closer and clearer view than the overhead

By the way, where is Oscar Moller these days and are we interested...

I think they said last night that there is cameras in the post and it was inconclusive

KHL or SEL

V, Please tell me Pedan plays with an edge all the time, not just picking his spots on when to play with a little grit.

Not that I want him to drop his gloves all the time, and always in the box, but checking and physical play is part of his normal play.

Big shot , little skill, tough

I'd love for Benning to acquire a 2nd rounder and draft Rasmus Andersson 64 points in 67 games, next highest scoring dman on his team only has 23 in 62. He's the highest scoring 17 year old on his team as well. 88 pims in 67 games so I bet he has some grit.

I also like Vince Dunn if he's still available in the 2nd. Similar to Andersson, but projected to go earlier(late 1st/early 2nd). Highest scoring d-man on his team despite being a young junior player and 59 pims in 68 games so likely not soft either.


Pilon isn't bad either for a 2nd rounder, but I prefer those 2.
