Why does Minnesota even have a hockey club? The owners spent huge money to bring big names but they play trap hockey that puts the most hyper child to sleep. So sad for such a hockey city.
Calgary was looking to make it three wins in a row but were foiled. Players know the rules, what players or fans do’nt want is referees deciding games. Have to check the film on Giordano’s penalty, but he was called for freezing the puck with his glove, which from what I saw was a push.
Tonight, refs handed Minnesota two much needed points. The Flames, however, have only themselves to blame. Their powerplay was pathetic. 1 shot on a 5 minute PP, no shots on a 4 minute PP in the third. Terrible. Same old hapless Flames sitting their skilled players in favour of mish mashed lines.
That’s it, no point covering a boring game and an even more painful powerplay.
Penalties and lack of scoring on man-advantages can certainly kill a team’s performance; but when it comes to the Calgary Flames, it is inherent that games are always decided by the refs and it is difficult to comprehend why the push had been considered as “freezing the puck”. Can anyone explain, why does it always happen to the Flames? .
Subsequently, whatever is done cannot be undone, but it is about time that this injustice should be taken upfront ….the refs cannot get away with murder so to speak….
