Will the Flames have Chris Tanev or Nikita Zadorov available for ... (Flames Nation)

The Calgary Flames could be short up to two of their regular blueliners for Sunday's deciding Game 7 against the Dallas Stars. Nikita Zadorov's availability ...

On the play, Tanev lost his footing, slid to the side of the net on his hands and knees, and then had Michael Raffl land on him while Raffl (and Tanev) was trying to play the puck. He played two more shifts later in the period, then went back down the tunnel and then wasn’t seen for the rest of the game. On that hit, again, there was no penalty on the play. Raffl landed first with his weight on Tanev’s lower back and/or hips, then fell forward and broke his fall with his stick landing across the back of Tanev’s neck. No penalty was issued on the play. In the second period, Zadorov did what he’s done frequently this season: he stepped into an opposing player and laid a hit.

“It’s easier for us to look at the video, slow it down and say ‘That’s a head shot.’ It’s a head shot. The referee, sometimes, don’t get the best angles. The incident occurred early in the second period when a Zadorov hit Glendening as he was attempting to get the puck out of the neutral zone, appearing to catch him partially in the head.

Get the bull back home and play for a great defense that is really going to allow me to really play my personality. This has been an offseason of change for the Chiefs. Between their shifting offensive priorities and the Mathieu situation – a lot has happened. As for Papierski, he was a ninth round selection of the Astros in the 2017 draft. If WynnBET is correct that Brady is the most likely to lead the league in both major passing categories for the second-straight year, +900 is going to be a bargain by the end of the season. Aledmys Diaz is hitting .191/.257/.294 on the year for a wRC+ of 69. (A scan of the receiving BMT rates for running backs revealed nothing noteworthy about the backs that we're discussing.) It's not an encouraging sign to see Henry on the same list as guys like Elliott and Barkley, plus a bunch of committee backs and randos. Last month, Gronkowski explained that he was "not ready to get back out on that field" and "not ready to commit to the game of football right now." To provide a raw-number sense of what these BMT rates mean: Henry broke or eluded 29 tackles in 182 carries in his first eight games of 2020 and 34 tackles on 151 carries in his first eight games of 2019. Walkthrough is certain that Henry is toast, not because of the injury or a "curse" (and the research behind that curse), but because of a Sports Info Solutions metric called Broken Tackles plus Missed Tackles divided by Attempts. Walkthrough abbreviates that as BMT%, and it's exactly what the label says it is. He returned for 20 carries for 62 yards in the playoff loss to the Bengals, which was a far cry from the 195-yard playoff performances of years past that made Henry much more than a fantasy football legend. WynnBET currently has the MVP odds as follows: Allen (+600) Mahomes (+750) Brady (+900) Rodgers (+1000) Leading the league in passing touchdowns and yards certainly doesn't mean you're a lock to win MVP. Brady lost out to Aaron Rodgers just last year. Ben Gamel, Pirates: 142 wRC+. Gamel is one of a handful of bright spots on the Pirates, but he’s also earning only $1.8M this year and is slated for free agency.
