Thank God was all a rumour used by Eichel agents to trick Vegas into doing the deal

No doubt. Thank God it only turned out to be rumours. Looking back at the rumour with Calgary, it looks for sure smoke sent out by Eichel agents because that rumoured Calgary deal kills what Buffalo ended up getting from Vegas. The Vegas deal, injured player for injured player makes way more sense, the rumoured Calgary deal made no sense at all - and just by coincidence was sent out just before the Vegas deal went final. Looks to me the Eichel agents sent out the Calgary rumour to pressure Vegas to finalize deal - and Vegas fell for it.

Yeah, was shocked that Ritchie lost so badly...he'll want revenge next game so I'm already looking up when they play next...I like how Tkachuk goes over to Borowiecki to ask him where he thinks he's going, shows good leadership to remind him that Calgary has more guys that wanna fight him, and seems that Tkachuk chirping him kept Calgary intense and it showed later as Calgary out worked Nashville throughout rest of game.

Thinking back to the fight, I liked how Tkachuk went over to ask Borowiecki where he thought he was going when leaving the rink to repair his hand, this shows good leadership from Tkachuk to remind Borowiecki that Calgary had line up waiting to fight him for beating Ritchie. Tkachuk even in interviews is maturing into a good leader, doing and saying all the right things to keep team intense after losing Ritchie - and it showed with the way Calgary out worked Nashville afterwards.

Very cool mask, but I wonder if this design sheds light onto any of his issues that he went to the players association for help with?

Pretty cool mask

Probably Eichel agents stirring up rumours, Sutter style hockey doesn't allow for players that think they're more important than the coach and the team.

Yep, Calgary outplayed them badly, those 3 missed breakaways were unbelievable...bad luck all around after Ritchie got knocked down in the fight and hopefully he'll be alright...

www.sportsurge.net Has all the games usually, the sports nights streams only have one pop-up per attempt to click video, the rest have to many though...

Perfect first home win now too

I don't think Calgary was ever the frontrunner, but anyways I think Eichel took himself out of any frontrunning by showing up unfit for training camp this year and by his unwillingness to work with his team to find best compromise for all parties involved. I don't like players that try to have more control than their coaches and general managers and owners etc over their teams, all that selfishness that works in the NBA where one player can make more of a difference than in other team sports, emphasizes selfishness over teamwork. My opinion aside, I do agree that Eichel has the right not to play if he don't want to - he's not a slave, but I have the right not to like his selfish attitude either and also have the right to be of the option that it's better to have unselfish players than selfish ones like him and Lindros etc. The way things going, because of Eichel purposely having his agents make media statements that cause his value to drop, Buffalo probably spite him let him sit unpaid until contact ends then just trade him as restricted free agent for whatever they can get - why would any team overpay now that they see what a problem child Eichel is? Since it's a gamble with his injury anyways, trading for him won't immediately help any team, it's take a risk and trade for him and who knows when he'll play if ever of surgery goes bad.

After 7 regular season games and a perfect 5 game roadtrip Calgary on top of Western Conference

Perfect roadtrip Sutter hockey Sutter systems hopefully we can keep this up all season

DILLON vs FOLIGNO Foligno winner just for the Superman punch alone even though it missed, he even pulled Dillion hand away while doing it, pretty cool move.

Disappointed Lucic isn't being considered for captain anymore though...

Really like how Sutter has made this team more responsible and just better overall, even in the losses and every game Calgary had played hard and played a noticeably better system of hockey than before. They should be able to beat NY tomorrow.

LUCIC vs SMITH Lucic clear winner Smith threw some punches that did no damage and Lucic knocked him down with one shot then held back since Smith had gone down - no one got hurt, Smith wasn't hurt by the shot that knocked him down either.

Lucic vs Deslauriers pretty even no damage to either, but Lucic looked more dangerous and got in the better shots.

No damage to either, but Lucic looked dangerous and got in the better shots, gotta think if refs didn't step in he would of destroyed Deslauriers.

Calgary with another loss after again dominating the play for vast majority of game, at least we got one point though. Lucic fought Deslauriers and while no damage done to either, Lucic looked dangerous, I'm disappointed that he didn't get the C or A... Coleman looked good in his first game and his goal scored was very clutch. We better best Detroit on Thursday...

Disappointing loss to Edmonton, but from what I saw Calgary played good Sutter hockey dominating physically and controlling most of the even strength play. Really Edmonton did not have any answer to the size and toughness of Calgary, except to try to avoid confrontations - even Kassian wanted no part of any pushing and shoving, this really is Sutter tough team and week disciplined not taking any bad penalties, even the Rasmussen penalty on Yamamoto was not a bad penalty although it was the turning point score wise. Overall, I'm happy with what Sutter done to make this team tougher and better overall - I'm very confident Calgary will beat Anaheim on Monday
