I'd be very, very happy to be wrong about my pick, Asher. I'm definitely pulling for Iggy & Co.

I picked Chicago too.
I think the Flames are icing the most expensive team in the league though. They played a line short for the last few games of the regular season. Now the salary cap doesn't exist, so they called up like 8 guys..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Don't they have to pay a penalty for this next year?
8x the league minimum would be fair. What would that be? About 2.5 million short on the cap?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

No, you ****ing idiot.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View Post
There's no salary cap in the playoffs. The Flames never violated the salary cap in the regular season.
I'm not sure if you realized this -- wait, yes I am sure you didn't realize this -- the Flames have quite a few high priced veteran NHL defensemen that've been playing in the AHL all season due to salary cap issues. Now that the regular season is over, they can and will play in the playoffs."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Ahh, so Calgary likes to cheat, eh, and avoid waivers? I'm glad to see they finally got caught. I don't see why they should be permitted to call up 8 players when the playoffs start. They should have to pay against next year's cap too.No, you ****ing idiot.

They should still pay a fine. It's not fair for them to pull up 8 guys without some kind of penalty for doing so. 2.5 mill off next years cap seems fair.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Why the **** should they pay a fine? They're playing by the ****ing rules. The team ****ing played with 15 players for the home stretch and it probably cost them the division.
You don't have a ****ing idea how any of this works. Waivers were still in effect when the guys were called up too.

Why don't all the other teams do the same and call up 8 more guys?Why the **** should they pay a fine?
It's never happened before, this is a loophole that needs to be plugged.They're playing by the ****ing rules.
Perhaps you should have someone who can manage his cap competently. All the teams have to play by the same rules. If you are going to force a cap down people's throats, then you gotta stick to the cap. Calgary can't whine about injuries. We missed the playoffs a year ago because of injuries, and Calgary is whining about a lost division? Man, my heart bleeds for you.The team ****ing played with 15 players for the home stretch and it probably cost them the division.
They were called up just now, evading waivers. Real fair move.You don't have a ****ing idea how any of this works. Waivers were still in effect when the guys were called up too.
Call em as I see em. This rule needs to be changed so that teams have the option of calling up 8 emergency players which count against next year's cap. That way teams that get screwed have an option of getting the players they need, but with certain consequences.Go watch the NFL or something, you're clearly no hockey fan.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

FWIW, they did not avoid waivers. The Canucks could've claimed some of them, like Anders Eriksson, if they wanted to."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

A closer game than I think everyone expected.
Still sucks to lose it as they did. I'd prefer they get blown out 10-0"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Maybe the win will give them the confidence they need. While Calgary came out strong in the first period, the Hawks playyoff inexperience also showed. Thank god, they got better as the game moved along.
And yes, the assist on the second goal was incredible.Keep on Civin'
