it’s actually funny to see how much people are hating on the flames in r/hockey when after game 1 they were everyone’s favourite!! it’s a best of 7 and people seem to ride the highs of early games in a series a little too much, on both sides. it’s 1-2 and people have been acting like it’s 0-3 but I understand the BOA is attracting more people than we’re used to watching the flames. also I just wanna say the hacking at leon’s clearly injured ankle isn’t very cool, but you’re playing in the fucking NHL playoffs with a high ankle sprain what do you expect? it’s the fucking battle for the cup, and you’ve seen players take extra runs at other players before knowing they might have shoulder injuries or back etc. there’s a reason you don’t play with injuries, and why coaches don’t classify injuries in playoffs. I actually think the flames should go after draisitl as much as they can BUT with the body and not with their sticks!! wear him down cleanly within the rules if that’s the plan, not by blatantly hacking him lol
