Bob Hartley looks increasingly like an older version of Cyrus

Flames are a dumpster fire. This is a sweep

 

[NYCSox]

Meh, you can't pronounce that kind of sentence after one game. I think the Ducks will win too, but the Flames will play better as the series goes on.

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol Crawford.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

That's some awful officiating right there. Vanek pushed into Crawford by Keith and the referee, staring at the play all the way, calls goaltender interference.

Edit: to clarify, the ref called the penalty when Crawford punched Vanek. Awful call.

Damn, Chicago is just deadly upfront.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

Crazy quick whistle there

 

[soxhop411]

How the fuck was that not a goal?? Flames were screwed big time

 

[soxhop411]

That's absolute bullshit.

 

[soxhop411]

Thank you hockey gods

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Wow, they deserved that

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

What a snipe

It's a good night on The Red Mile

Not THAT good...

So, Hartley's first playoff victory since Colorado - long time.

Did he not coach the series against Vancouver?

I wish this was my worst brain fart of the day.

The undressing done by Gaudreau on Calgary's first goal is absurd.  2-1 on the Red Mile.  Nice to see Tim Jackman manning up and going after Gaudreau.

Stupid, stupid penalty, Calgary.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I don't know about that. Kesler right in front of the goalie and and he couldn't get his stick over to get the second shot.

Agreed, should have been incidental interference.
 
Also, Calgary's power play and 5-on-3 were fucking awful.

Ryan Kesler is such an awesome hockey player.  I wish I didn't hate him so much.
