Game Thread: Flames vs Ducks - 7:30 Rogers (millions) Sportsnet

[fotze]

Iggy's line is not getting many bounces out there.Hell of a play by iggy there though not enough time for huselius to pass it.

[HelloHockeyFans]

How has Huselius been playing tonight?

Not horrible, but not very good...

[Lanny_MacDonald]

I wonder how it feels to be hit by Phaneuf?

It doesn't. You normally feel the ice or the boards before you realize you've been hi by Phaneuf.

[fotze]

Man I dont miss Rob Niedermayer
Too bad you didn't have a gun

[whydoesrobsuck]

Sounds like Kipper is up for the task tonight. C'mon boys, give Kipper a couple more goals to work with!

[Notdoneyet]

Not a good stat losing 62% of the face offs.

Something that will bite us before the season is over.

[Bobblehead]

Too bad you didn't have a gun

Use it on the Panago guy!

[josef]

i don´t know but i have the feeling we have to score the third goal or this will be a very tough game to win

[Dion]

It doesn't. You normally feel the ice or the boards before you realize you've been hi by Phaneuf.

I thought it was a frieght train. ;)

[MikePatton]

That was a fantastic play by Iginla.

Anyone else think Penner looks very good out there??

[Bertuzzied]

Use it on the Panago guy!

or that autotrader trailer trash cow. Wooo HOOO

[RoadGame]

It sounds like that Getzlaf hit might be worth encoding & posting at some point... please & thank you to those who have the means to do so.

We are improving from previous games.

[Eastern Girl]

Not horrible, but not very good...

Thanks for the response.

So no real improvement then for Huselius over past performances?

[Jayems]

It sounds like that Getzlaf hit might be worth encoding & posting at some point... please & thank you to those who have the means to do so.

RG

Getzlaf was trying to get out of the way, and in doing so, got clipped. If he hadn't of moved, he wouldn't have again.

[Bobblehead]

It sounds like that Getzlaf hit might be worth encoding & posting at some point... please & thank you to those who have the means to do so.

RG

Nope, Getzlaf dodged the hit.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

The Flames are really struggling to make something happen. They're not finding other guys in red with the puck. Lots of guys in white, bit not many in red.

[Rathji]

We seem to have lost all energy, If this keeps up I doubt kipper will be able to keep us ahead for much longer.

[FLAMESRULE]

In KIPPER we TRUST!!!

[whydoesrobsuck]

I hope they can get out of the second period still up 2. Regroup during the intermission.

[White Snow Bear]

Getzlaf is a big boy though.

[Fuzzy McGillicuddy]

Two signs at the game:



"Hey Chris, how are the girls in L.A.?"

"My girlfriend's kid looks like Pronger."

[OILFAN #81]

PRON-GER, PRON-GER!:w00t:

[Dion]

Hahahahaha!

Pronger pronger cheers from the Flames crowd.

[FLAMESRULE]

Getzlaf was a wanker with the Hitmen and is a lazy POS with Anaheim as well. Guy never back checks, plays D, etc.

[whydoesrobsuck]

Pronger... Pronger... Pronger... ha ha

[Bobblehead]

This looks a lot like last year's Flames.

It looks like the 4th line is getting more time tonight - trying to keep everyone as fresh as possible since we have the 2 goal lead?

[Red]

They better wake up, really sloppy out there. Roger mentioned bad ice, but that doesn't seem to effect the Ducks. Although they are probaqbly used to bad ice. This has been a really looooong period.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

I think Peter saw Borat yesterday,

"Pronger hearing the Jews, .....jeers from the crowd"

PRICELESS

[cannon7]

Ok, that period wasn't quite as strong. Some real nice scoring chances, Kobasew especially dangerous offensively. But the Flames got stuck in their own zone way too much in that period.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Thanks for the response.

So no real improvement then for Huselius over past performances?

He came back in the Dallas game after being benched with a strong game, but tonight... not so much...

[BlackEleven]

Two signs at the game:



"Hey Chris, how are the girls in L.A.?"

"My girlfriend's kid looks like Pronger."

Those are hilarious! :D

[HelloHockeyFans]

Good game. Kipper is playing well. 20 minutes away from his 2nd shutout of the season.

"Look at me! Look at me!"

:D

[Bobblehead]

Good game. Kipper is playing well. 20 minutes away from his 2nd shutout of the season.

Death, taxes & Mainflame.

[Shazam]

Ducks are pinching like crazy, so there should be turnover opportunities for the Flames.

Also, I don't think S. Niedermeyer has left the ice.

[JoeSixpack]

If Chuck didn't have "hands of stone" he could have had a couple goals tonight...

[ricosuave]

:rolleyes: thanks for quoting the guy...

re:mainflame

[icarus]

Good game. Kipper is playing well. 20 minutes away from his 2nd s****** of the season.
Even when you complement the team you **** me off.

[Bertuzzied]

If Chuck didn't have "hands of stone" he could have had a couple goals tonight...

not sure how a guy 10 feet in front of the net can miss the net by 15 feet? hehehe. I hope tanguay doesn't have a point bonus in his contract.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Not a great period........too much standing around, especially in the defensive zone. Also having a world of trouble getting the puck out of their zone.

They can't hold on for 20 minutes.......gotta get the puck deep in their zone and start getting some pressure on their D, especially the DiPenta/O'Brien pairing.

A strong 20 minutes and they can win, another period like the 2nd and they are flirting with disaster.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Even when you're complement the team you **** me off.

Which is proof of him being a troll. I can't believe he hasn't been bounced. He is one of two active members that are still on my ignore list, and for good reason.

[return to the red]

Mainflame is one of the best posters on the entire forum, I feel sorry for those who can't or won't see that.

[KTown]

I know the performance doesn't look dominating, but hey at this point we're beating the best tema in the NHL right now.

20 more minutes boyz lets keep it going

[Bobblehead]

I'm curious as to who the other one is?

I'm guessing White Doors

[flame_boy_ant]

I'm curious as to who the other one is?

Why, you ofcourse! :D

[whydoesrobsuck]

Hammer still leading all skaters in ice time.

[IginlasEnforcer]

Not flahsy but, solid defensive hockey.

The Flames are working and are deserving of the 2-0 lead after two.

Come on boys.....One more hard working period and we can celebrate a big victory.

[Hunter74]

Well the guys had a very hard time completing a pass in that period. They had quite a few scoring chances with Kobasew having some bad luck and Huselius getting the puck in some nice scoring areas but for some reason not being able to shoot it.

Hopefully Playfair can get the guys to take advantage of the Ducks defensemen pinching constantly when the puck is in our zone. If we can exploit that for a goal or 2 then things will be alot safer if there is even a safe lead in the NHL.

Even though that period wasn't that great the guys were still working hard and blocking shots.

Considering Prust has on played 3:45mins he sure does make his presence felt out there. I don't know if I am just looking for him or is it he jsut amkes something happen physically. I didn't even know McCarty actually got a shift in that game.

LETS!!! GO!!! FLAMES!!!

[whydoesrobsuck]

Roman Hamrlik has played 20 minutes already. Someone asked earlier why he gets paid 3.5. One of the reasons.........

he's pretty good.
Can't disagree here. He's worth the money IMO; and would not be a Flame if Phaneuf and Regehr were making what they're worth.

[KTown]

About time Hammer's ice time is going up, the guy is an excellent defenceman,

[Notdoneyet]

Why, you ofcourse! :D

Nope i forget his whole name but i bet it was Jim ?????????

[greentree]

[QUOTE=Fuzzy McGillicuddy;633506]Two signs at the game:

yeah, that's pure comic genius.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Roman Hamrlik has played 20 minutes already. Someone asked earlier why he gets paid 3.5. One of the reasons.........

No kidding.......he may not be ripping it up offensively, but he's been the steadiest d-man so far this season. Well deserving of his big ice time.

Regehr still looks a little off. I'm almost certain he's nursing an injury, be interesting to see what it is.

[timbit]

great interview with Harley Hotchkiss.

[flame_boy_ant]

Please, no melt down. Go Flames Go!

[Notdoneyet]

Nope i forget his whole name but i bet it was Jim ?????????

help me out here guys was it jim parker or something like that. remember he just exploded. Too Funny

[octothorp]

That fourth line has had a great night... one of the best of the season for them.

[flame_boy_ant]

Great effort by the fourth line!

[whydoesrobsuck]

Regehr still looks a little off. I'm almost certain he's nursing an injury, be interesting to see what it is.
It could have been his first defensive partner, because he had a lot of time to become comfortable with Leopold. I hope he does turn it around, and I'm sure he will.

[FlamesFanInVan]

20 more hard-working minutes, Flames!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

help me out here guys was it jim parker or something like that. remember he just exploded. Too Funny

There was a Jim Shegrill........he is an Oilers fan.

I think he had a meltdown a few months ago.

[BlackEleven]

geez, that didn't look like Ritchie ... nice move.

[Azure]

Holy Harley that was funny...

Ahh..the memories...:D

[Notdoneyet]

Prust and Ritchie have Mccarthy invisible

[EN FUEGO]

Lundmark has impressed me this game. Creative and smart, looks comfortable with the puck.

[whydoesrobsuck]

When guys like Aucoin and McKee are making 3 million plus, Hamrlik is a bargain. Derek Morris is making $4 million. Considering his age and history, Hamrlik is relatively cheap.
Agreed there, his price is good. But even if he is making less than what he could be making, the Flames can't afford Hammer if Regehr and Phaneuf are making similar money (and they will likely be worth more).

[Red]

Amonte is getting hot. He is hitting the net almost every time.

[Bertuzzied]

What the hell has Amonte been eating lately? I see another Sun "Full Amonte" headline tomorrow.

He's flying.

[Notdoneyet]

There was a Jim Shegrill........he is an Oilers fan.

I think he had a meltdown a few months ago.

yep right on thanks. I pi$$ed my pants laughing at that idiot

[tkflames]

Prust and Ritchie have Mccarthy invisible

McCarty, McCarthy (sandy) is a former flames goon

[greentree]

did prust sort of come out of nowhere, i mean did anyone expect before training camp that he was going to play at this level this year?

[Notdoneyet]

McCarty, McCarthy (sandy) is a former flames goon

Yes thank you. I would love to see Ritichie prust and Goddard.

[whydoesrobsuck]

Lundmark has impressed me this game. Creative and smart, looks comfortable with the puck.
I think Lundmark has looked solid all year. I can't believe he isnt being rewarded on the scoreboard. Perhaps he'll get hot when Kobasew finally does.

[tremorchrist]

Mainflame is one of the best posters on the entire forum, I feel sorry for those who can't or won't see that.



...in absolute concurrence.

[TheContact]

Iggy off the post

[whydoesrobsuck]

Rob Niedermayer - YOU SUCK!

[EN FUEGO]

we must lead the league in crossbars and posts

[Bertuzzied]

Damn. Goal post on the 3 on 1. PLEASE get another goal and then pull Kipper from the game. The ducks are determined to injure him tonite.

[whydoesrobsuck]

3 on 1 - puck goes wide??? C'mon boys, net another will ya?

[BlackEleven]

damn, so close, Iginla ...

[octothorp]

Prust and Ritchie have Mccarthy invisible

I've noticed them with at least four good pressure shifts tonight and a few scoring chances, too.

[Bertuzzied]

3 on 1 - puck goes wide??? C'mon boys, net another will ya?

it went off the post.

[Azure]

Someone should run Giggy...and I mean run him...

[McG]

come on flames! let's keep it tight!

[tkflames]

Someone should run Giggy...and I mean run him...


heheheheh...I remember a good game where that kept happening....

[whydoesrobsuck]

it went off the post.
Thanks for the update. Peter is my eyes, and he said it went wide.

Wide of the net or goal post - the puck didnt go in the net.

Am I angry with the lack of a 3rd goal or the lack of TV coverage in the Philipinnes? Either way... another goal will make me :D

[BlackEleven]

Flames look a lot better to start this period than they did to finish the last one.,

[Red]

One thing I notice is that the Flames are no longer a "safe" play first team. I believe this is why they turn it over so much.

[Bertuzzied]

heheheheh...I remember a good game where that kept happening....

We need mccarty to pull a berube. We won't miss him if he's suspended a few games.

[Temporary_User]

what do you guys think?
Line change:
switch Amonte and Kobesew?

[greentree]

this is gonna be a heart stopping finish i think

[whydoesrobsuck]

heheheheh...I remember a good game where that kept happening....
AHHH, the best Flames 4-0 loss of all time!

[McG]

Someone should run Giggy...and I mean run him...

remember the last time we ran a ducks goalie like that? 24 minutes of mayhem!

[Bertuzzied]

Moen gets demolished by Warrener. Pretty close to a penalty though.

[Red]

what do you guys think?
Line change:
switch Amonte and Kobesew?

Kobasew is the weak link on that line for sure. Nilson is dragging his line as well.

[Azure]

remember the last time we ran a ducks goalie like that? 24 minutes of mayhem!

:whistle:

I dont think you want to risk taking a penalty against the Ducks. That would be kinda retarded.

[Bertuzzied]

what do you guys think?

Bingo! and then switch Kobasew with Mcllenan.

F! man they hit kipper again!!!

[whydoesrobsuck]

We need mccarty to pull a berube. We won't miss him if he's suspended a few games.
Offer him $20 to do it. He could use the help.

[EN FUEGO]

Somebody needs to run Perry in the last minute.

[Dion]

Farking Perry!

[Notdoneyet]

Kobasew is the weak link on that line for sure. Nilson is dragging his line as well.

Kobasew is fighting the puck real bad. Nilson i agree has done
nothing tonight even with limited ice.

[54321]

Nice to see Tanguay blocking shots with no stick.

[Azure]

I dont think you want to risk taking a penalty against the Ducks. That would be kinda retarded.

I don't give two ****s about a risk..Kipper has been run too many times.

The dumbass refs aren't doing anything about it either.

[whydoesrobsuck]

what do you guys think?
Line change:
switch Amonte and Kobesew?
No Thanks. Amonte is doing just fine where he is. Make that kind of switch when both players are struggling perhaps.

[flame_boy_ant]

Forget running the goalie, save it for when we are losing against them next time. Right now, just focus on winning this game.

[McG]

running kipper again? seems to be repeated time and time again.

once we get to the say...inside 6 minute mark left...we should run giguere. big time.

[Red]

Running around leads to a penalty. Damn, let's hope they kill it.

[Bertuzzied]

Man. after the last 2 saves Kipper is getting up so slowly. Could he be hurt?

[Notdoneyet]

Brutal call!! especially with what they have let go.

[whydoesrobsuck]

I don't give two ****s about a risk..Kipper has been run too many times.

Wait until the game is in hand to take care of business. Getting even isnt worth losing the game.

[Azure]

Man. after the last 2 saves Kipper is getting up so slowly. Could he be hurt?

He's been run numerous times....

Could be getting annoying...sending a message to the refs.

[Dion]

Great block by Ference!

[BigRed]

Nice to see Tanguay blocking shots with no stick.

Welcome the Calgary Flames, Alex. Glad you could finally make it. ;)

[McG]

i hate chintzy penalties...i mean if we are going to take them...let's REALLY take them.

[whydoesrobsuck]

AHHH, the radio kicked out! sounded like a nice save though. C'mon PK, tough up boys, keep the puck OUT.

[EN FUEGO]

Brutal call!! especially with what they have let go.
League's trying to keep the streak going for Anaheim.:confused:

[HelloHockeyFans]

Lombardi is developing quite nicely this season.

PP time, PK time, doing well on the 2nd line...

[Bertuzzied]

Wow. Flames owe somebody big time to have a 2 goal lead still. Great save by ference and then by kipper and then by the post

[Azure]

Wow. Flames owe somebody big time to have a 2 goal lead still. Great save by ference and then by kipper and then by the post

The hockey Gods are getting even with the damn refs and their pathetic calls.

Ference is really showing up to play here.

[Dion]

Kipper is fine form tonight!

Robs Selanne!

[timbit]

has kipper ever got better at playing the puck...

[54321]

Come on, let's hit the 20 SOG mark.

[Red]

Shots 31 - 15 Ducks. This is a Kipper show.

[greentree]

argh another pk.

[Dion]

Kipper has to get more vocal with the refs when he's hit.

Maybe he should get Ron Hextal to teach him a few tricks with his goal stick. Ronnie was great for chopping thighs and ankles with his stick.

[Notdoneyet]

phaneuf with another brutal call

[fotze]

PP again, fuvk me in the goat ass

[whydoesrobsuck]

has kipper ever got better at playing the puck...No Kidding! He must be serious about trying to be the best goalie in the world. Wait a minute...

Seriously..if the stupid refs aren't going to do anything about it..the Flames should take matters into their own hands.

[Bertuzzied]

What a horrible pass by Nilsson on the 2 on 1 penalty kill.

[bigbadboss101]

Whoa, Marcus is horrible.

[fotze]

They better even up the bastids

[EN FUEGO]

Amonte's stepped up huge on Pk in the absence of Yelle.

[Red]

Amonte is on fire.

[TheContact]

What a play by Amonte, goes down to block a shot, is sidestepped, and swings around to sweep the puck away with his stick while still on the ground.

[timbit]

A lot of people have no idea how good a D Hamrlik is...

[Azure]

They better even up the bastids

Or something...

I doubt it though...the refs are letting Anaheim get away with everything. I wonder what Perry did to them anyways before the game? :bag:

[whydoesrobsuck]

Pronger isnt playing as much now - the jeers are working!!!!

Okay Flames Fans - Niedermayer... Niedermayer...Niedermayer...

[mykalberta]

What is with the words "Amonte" and "Great Defensive play"

I have heard those words peculiarily close to one another these last few games.

Is he finally getting to know Flames hockey? Me thinks yes.

MYK

I love that the defense is the first to the puck everytime there's a short rebound by Kipper. Reminds me of when they were playing great D last year.

[mykalberta]

A lot of people have no idea how good a D Hamrlik is...

You are preaching to the Hammer quire - I have said it ever since we got him, people here just dont like him cause he doesnt go out of his way to hammer people like Dion and Robyn and get caught out of position.

For me he is the most valuable defenceman for the Flames.

MYK

Bull****.

[cannon7]

Flames played a very smart defensive third period, other than the second period this was a very good effort by the Flames. Shot totals don't really tell the story of this one, though Kiprusoff was amazing, the Flames defensive play kept most of the Ducks scoring chances to the outside. I can only think of 2-3 very danerous scoring chances for the Ducks, one of them was a deflection and the other two were mad scrambles with the man-advantage.

[Dion]

How sweet revenge is.

http://www.mts.net/%7Ewtiger/kipperspecialnew.gif

Hahahaha Sweet!

[Bertuzzied]

Bull****.


Oh sorry i forgot it was you. Hamrlik stole 2 straight games for us. Better?

Tanguay with a two point game..

YAHHH! Hmm....

Ducks: Handed their first regulation loss, and shutout for the first time all season.
Bryzgalov: First game that wasn't a win all season
Carlyle: Possibly the first heart-attack all season?

YAH!

[Fozzie_DeBear]

Not yet. Kipper stole us 2 straight games!

Not taking anything away from Kipper but in this game the defence was great especially being the first to rebounds in front of the net...

[HPLovecraft]

GOOOO FLAAAAMES GO!!!

I am so freaking happy right now.

Are the Flames back or what, folks?

[TheContact]

Not yet. Kipper stole us 2 straight games! Kipper played great, but so did the D for the most part (clearing rebounds!). Flames had a tough time with faceoffs, and a tough time clearing the zone. But, there was hustle, and this was a bit more like the team we saw last season.

Except they didn't blow the 2 goal lead. Remember how those went for us last year ;)

[EN FUEGO]

how many odd man rushes did we give up that game? not many I'd say, and that's a huge factor aside from the fact we took the body all game.

[Bobblehead]

So the "Bump of the night" is a slight brush? There were better real hits than that.

[Flash Walken]

Ference detractors take note, he made the save of the game.

[Shazam]

Tanguay and Lombardi don't even look at each anymore. They just rush in and do stuff. Meanwhile, Kobasew still learning how to skate without a chair.

[Erick Estrada]

GOOOO FLAAAAMES GO!!!

I am so freaking happy right now.

Are the Flames back or what, folks?

Not sure about the Flames but Kipper is definately back and even Tony Amonte has returned from the dead. He's now playing like the player that Daryl Sutter hoped for when he signed a few years back.

[stormchaser]

Stars of the game.

1.Amonte
2.Hammer
3.Kipper

[FlamesFanInVan]

HUGE HUGE HUGE win, boys.

[54321]

Tanguay and Lombardi don't even look at each anymore. They just rush in and do stuff. Meanwhile, Kobasew still learning how to skate without a chair.

I agree. I cringe everytime Kobasew has the puck.

[Bertuzzied]

Stars of the game.

1.Amonte
2.Hammer
3.Kipper

It was reversed on tv. Kipper with the 1st star.

[MikePatton]

Hands down the best defensive effort of the year by the boys. I really hope they keep Tanguay and Lombardi together. It's doing wonders for his development.

[Bobblehead]

We gave up shots, but most were from way out, and while we didn't have many shots, we had good chances and buried 2 of them. Shots are nice, but it is realistic chances that matter.
After we got up 2, we sat in the defensive shell, but now our D seems back to last year's levels and clear the rebounds.

[stormchaser]

It was reversed on tv. Kipper with the 1st star.

Well at least we can all agree that Hammer gets the 2nd star:bag:

[flamesfan6]

good win... but does anyone find it troublesome we only got 18 shots, while anaheim had 37 shots???? i didnt watch the game.. but if it wasn't for kipper... we could have got owned in this game.... but once again i don't know if they were quality shots or not.. but we got to get more shots on goal, and have fewer against.

[BigRed]

I agree. I cringe everytime Kobasew has the puck.

MAybe it's time for us all to admit the boy will never find the toolbox for his many tools ...

good win... but does anyone find it troublesome we only got 18 shots, while anaheim had 37 shots???? i didnt watch the game.. but if it wasn't for kipper... we could have got owned in this game.... but once again i don't know if they were quality shots or not.. but we got to get more shots on goal, and have fewer against.
I think you said it. 37 shots. So without Kipper, the Ducks would have had 37 goals. Thank god the Flames have a goalie. :)

Amonte with 2 pts tonight, that puts him something like 32 pts from 1000 career all time.
