OT: Sharks at Flames

[blackinkbiz]

Hey, Faulk, THAT'S how you close out a period when you have possession in your own end. In fact, pretty much anything works better than flipping a no-look backhand in the air.

No matter how this game goes San Jose is making them work for it.

Game starts now.

Also, all you have to do is Google "buffstreams" and the top link gives you links in to every game of all sports worldwide with quality ranging from 480 to HD. If leagues would ever stop with the stupid blackout coverages I'd be more than happy to buy league subscriptions, until then...

So when would Calgary start pulling their goalie to try to win in regulation? Especailly if San Jose gets the next one?

3 minutes remaining?

That's a good question if the Flames are down. But a loss in regulation is an elimination event. Opening the possibility of getting eliminated sooner than later via an empty net goal is IMO a bad plan.

Sounds about right to me. But my bet is they would do it anyway

I don't know why that would change the strategy

Flames arent doing that. They would drastically increase the chances they would lose this game.

They are still very much alive with an overtime win over the blues or even the wild if either of us dont win our final game. Too pull their goalie and risk getting straight out eliminated just for the niche that the blues have to win in regulation vs winning in overtime(when the flames could win next game in overtime and not reg making this risky sacrifice for no reason) would be beyond dumb as it has much greater chance of hurting them than giving benefit.


Now ifnthey win the next 2 games in regulation and we win our game vs utah in overtime, then it would make sense for calgary to pull their goalje in tie game vs kings since they wpuld literally knkw they have to win that game in regulation

Could you better define the word "that" in your post. I'm not being a smart (donkey), I just don't understand what you are saying.

[Aesa]

(bleep), Coronado scores
Flames 4 - 2.

Good night. We’ll be sweating for a few more days it seems

[Harold_Melvin]

Geesh

[netboy65]

No one expected Sharks to go into Calgary and win. Just need to take care of business Tuesday
