Anderson left on a stretcher today... bad news for them.

I read that he just has a stiff neck..probably will miss one start for sure..

This is looking like one of those "play down to the competition & win in a SO" games.

Do you think this is a technique that Q uses to preserve the overall energy of this team over the entire season? I can understand that against some teams you need to exert more energy that others. I am not saying that Q is telling the guys not to play hard, but maybe he knows this team (and others) that have some short comings he can get away with the players using less energy (meaning they do not have to be such a puck-possession team)?

Not with 4 wins, 10 losses.

I know...I know

Told a buddy here, told him the Flames will be this years Blue jackets. Blue Jackets showed league how being tough to play against each night, can help a team grow fast.

This goalie is the next part of their puzzle. Something to rally behind.

Defense asleep again

So much for that point...

this game blows.

Crow on his knees, BLOW'N the angle

Crawford playing well this year but: slowest glove around.

Again...Hawks are money in the second half of back 2 backs...have been for 3 years now. 3-1 Hawks. Book it.

Both have solid coaches...Edmonton on the other hand...boat loads of talent, their coach seems overwhelmed.

Third period, tie game: goalie needs to help the defense out.

He's been helping the defense out the entire game... Gimme a break.

Brookstank blew it

Really?

Ok 3-2

Defense has played well tonite: not many good chances on Crawford.

Two mistakes wound up in the net.

Yes he did: so did Crawford.

Not sure what game you're watching... several chances as well as a penalty shot

Berra a tough customer tonight...

He is coaching a day care center...Bunch of sugar high guys....flying around...

Eddie O's got me hitting the mute button just like Pete McGuire does.

Vintage Q, shuffle and juggle...No Pirri or morin...

Yes he did: so did Crawford.

The defense blew it...but CC has to have that glove up and get a better angle.


He's a good goalie....but it's okay to say he should've had one here and there......

I'm watching the game where Crawford was on his knees before the shot, waved his glove at it after the puck crossed the goal line.

But he's given up his usual two - Hawks can't solve a first-game rookie.

That's all I'm saying.

First goal goes in on 95% of goalies in the league, second goal probably 60%. Regardless, second goal was completely avoidable if Brookbank doesn't skate like he is carrying a load in his pants.
