Game Thread - Canucks @ Flames Oct. 6

[Vedder]

Nothing quite like going down two goals and looking up to see marcus nilson on the ice. Feels like too much like last year.

[Art Vandelay]

Looks like the Flames should take a lesson from the Canucks on how to run a PP.

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Chance to get back into it now.

[philip1985]

What the heck happened to this team from the first to the second. Its like this team decided to play one period and coast through the rest of the game

[SteveToms]

I wish the Flames would actually give a and try

[The Bismarck]

Ryan Shannon was more due than a woman in labour for 10 months. The kid's missed more wide open nets than the entire Canuck team of 06-07 prior to that goal :bag:

[Machiavelli]

Nothing quite like going down two goals and looking up to see marcus nilson on the ice. Feels like too much like last year.

Well, Iggy hasn't exactly been a well of offense tonight.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Seems just like last season - they show up for 1 period, and coast the other two, and to make things exciting, they change up which period they want to play! :bag::bag:

[old-fart]

4 on 4 and the Flames are playing it like they are killing a 5-3 PP.

Nice effort guys... for one period.

[expatflame]

Ryan Shannon was more due than a woman in labour for 10 months. The kid's missed more wide open nets than the entire Canuck team of 06-07 prior to that goal :bag:

Leave it to the Flames to snap a cold streak of a player:bag:

[beachy]

I'd like to see Godard pound someone right about now....Bieksa or Cowan please

[Machiavelli]

I welcome, with open arms, the wrath of Keenan.

It's never too early.

[Flames09]

I'd like to see Godard pound someone right about now....Bieksa or Cowan please

I'd like to see Godard pound some sense into his own team right now... Iggy vs. Godard anyone??

[I_H8_Crawford]

Glad to hear the fans giving the Flames what they deserve for that craptacular period... boo them off the ice.

What garbage, this is the same crap as last year.

[Bobblehead]

I'd like to see Godard pound someone right about now....Bieksa or Cowan please

Godard is brutal on the ice - he is a penalty machine and the last thing the Flames need to do is give Van another PP

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Ugly effort in that period. Hopefully the Flames can WTFU for the 3rd.

Brutal, absolutely brutal.

[old-fart]

I'd like to see Godard pound someone right about now....Bieksa or Cowan please

The way the Flames are playing Naslund would beat the crap outta him.

Flames are skating around like they have no idea how to play hockey.

Great period boys, give up three easy as pie PP goals while getting 2 5-3 chances yourself that you do absolutely nothing on. No pressure, no real chances to score.

Pathetic period.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Brutal period of hockey. Stupid play. Bad penalties. Zero drive or finish from the big name players in red. Flame hockey is back in town!!!

;)

[SoCalFlamesFan]

Do you really want four more years of Dalton McGuinty?

[flambers]

Wow, what a bad period.... Flames look aweful.

[brownstown24]

Why is the dome so freaking quite again? Looks like the suits and not the fans are running the dome again....the Flames need a spark!

[Bluzman]

Is it time for Mount Keenan to erupt?

[pacde]

Some days its tough being a flames fan - on paper I think this is a great team but they sure look bad right now. I do have to say that Im optimistic that this will change - but someone has to care that isnt watching the game.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Why is the dome so freaking quite again? Looks like the suits and not the fans are running the dome again....the Flames need a spark!

How about the hockey club giving the fans something to cheer about? That was a craptacular period of hockey where the only thing the Flames did right was not to drop a deuce in their hockey pants.

[WesternCanadaKing]

Well, now its time for Iron Mike to do what he was brought in to do.

They better come out to kill for the 3rd after that brutal showing.

[troutman]

It's become a special teams game - nobody is really threatening even strength.

The second goal is all on Kipper - first for taking the penalty, second for gassing the soft shot by Naslund. Better take Sutter's offer while you can.;)

CGY is just not assertive. I fear the veterans on the team are not quick enough.

CGy needs to start a fight or two at the start of the third.

I'm think Luongo really did get hurt, but he sure threw his head back like he had been hit by a cannonball before twisting his knee.

[troutman]

Why is the dome so freaking quite again? Looks like the suits and not the fans are running the dome again....the Flames need a spark!

There are probably 10,000 Canuck fans in the Dome.

[old-fart]

Iggy has been brutal tonight. Kipper has been, at best, average. Horrible second goal to give up to Naslund.

Aside from Dion, and maybe Juice, the Flames have been horrible since the first period ended. How sad they are.

[Bunk]

Same crap as last year, but now at home too. When they lose this game tonight, they are almost a quarter the way to the number of losses they had at home last season!

[Hakan]

Naslund goal was baaaaaad.

Godard sucks.

Hakan's 2 cents.

[brownstown24]

How about the hockey club giving the fans something to cheer about? That was a craptacular period of hockey where the only thing the Flames did right was not to drop a deuce in their hockey pants.
Hopefully Luongo has to take a big deuce again and he won't come back out to start the third....the Flames need to get it going!

[OilKiller]

:blink:

Wow...

I was trying to be positive about the Flames play in my earlier posts, but that was one of the worst periods of hockey I've seen. Just brutal.

I'm not sure what the hell this team needs to wake up...but wow...just brutal.

[Flickered Flame]

The entire game changed on Luongo's save on Iggy on the 2 on 1 in the first. The nucks second goal was probably the worst goal I have ever seen Kipper give up.

[flame_boy_ant]

I missed the 2nd period. Flames still up one nothing? :w00t:

[Flames09]

Hopefully Luongo has to take a big deuce again and he won't come back out to start the third....the Flames need to get it going!

Didn't the Flames suck against backups last season??

[pacde]

Same crap as last year, but now at home too. When they lose this game tonight, they are almost a quarter the way to the number of losses they had at home last season!

They lost a few at home early last year too

[Young Guns]

What is Mark Smith doing killing penalties? Is it just me or does he run all over the ice chasing the puck. He left his side of the ice a couple times and left the d-man with nothing but time and space.

[troutman]

I don't like the Flames chances on the upcoming road trip. Could be 0-6 by the time they return. They will have to make hay on that long home stand.

[Hunter74]

Man tanguay and Regehr look very weak out there. They noth need to get their games going.

I liked the 1st period but the 2nd period was just sad.

Tanguay looks very rusty. Messing up scoring chacnes with bad decisions.

Regehr just like Tanguay is making bad decisions.

Lombardi seems to be benched for whatever reason.

Nilson is still playing soft and hasn't finished a check all night long.

The forward group is still playing soft. Guys like Nilson, Nolan, Conroy, Iginla and Yelle need to start to finish their checks alittle more and stop this poke check crap. At least change it up alittle instead of 100% poke check. Geez were is the meaness that you would think Sutter/Keenan would like in the lineup.

LETS GO FLAMES

[I_H8_Crawford]

Didn't the Flames suck against backups last season??
Its Oct - it doesnt matter who is in net.

I could be in net (never played goalie in my life) and win against October Flames. :bag::bag:

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Have no fear boys, Iggy will pot a goal in the third. The Flames will be down 4-1, and there will be about 2 1/2 minutes left, but Iggy will score a goal, and all will be forgiven.

;)

[old-fart]

:blink:

Wow...

I was trying to be positive about the Flames play in my earlier posts, but that was one of the worst periods of hockey I've seen. Just brutal.

I'm not sure what the hell this team needs to wake up...but wow...just brutal.


Yup. Horrible 5 on 5, terrible PK (had chances to clear and instead of firing it down the ice they shoot it back around behind the net, only to have it picked off and more pressure applied), and quite possibly the worst PP ever, especially the pathetic effort on the 5-3.

Not much to like about that period.

The good news is we are going on the road for 4 right away. You know how great our road record..... oh wait.

Nevermind. Looks like another long October. Again.

Hopefully by the end of the month we'll still be able to see the front runners, but I wouldn't count on it.

[Hakan]

Man it sucks being a flames fan at the beginning of a season.

[icarus]

Scott Mellanby is just brimming with charisma.

[pacde]

Yeah, they are sucking right now, but some of you guys are ridiculous - its the second game of the season with a new coach and the half a new defense on a team with a history of sucking out of the gate...

Wait for them to learn the system

[Young Guns]

I can see Keenan loose it in this next period. He will sit someone or end up pulling Kipper.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Wait for them to learn the system

Isn't that what pre-season is for?

I always love it when the excuses start flowing.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Yeah, they are sucking right now, but some of you guys are ridiculous - its the second game of the season with a new coach and the half a new defense on a team with a history of sucking out of the gate...

Wait for them to learn the system
So we are supposed to just accept our team sucking each and every Oct???

It almost cost them a playoff spot last year, so just say "Don't worry Flames, we know you guys suck in Oct, so take your time! Fall behind by 10 points in the playoff race! It's all good!"???

BS - this team needs to get their crap together NOW.

[Muta]

It has become evident that the Flames REALLY need a true, number 1 centre.

Watching Briere score again tonight, and watching some of the highlight goals from around the league tonight as well, we could get creamed when playing some of the other teams in the upcoming months.

We also, IMO, are missing a serious youth injection. Other teams are looking alot faster with the youth in their lineups. They look hungrier. Calgary's veterans just look less than talented and slow tonight. Right now, I'm pretty fed up with the Nilsons, Godards, Primeaus and Yelles of this team. Yes, Iginla and the rest of the top line hasn't shown up, but when that happens, others players ned to step up. Our bottom lines are completely incapable of scoring.

Right now, the Flames look incredibly bush league. And nobody likes bush.

[Machiavelli]

Hrudey, the only identity we'll be forming on the road is "can't win on the road."

So depressing . . .

[kevman]

Did some fans actually boo?...if so, that isnt normal for a Flames game. I usually hear alot of cheers when an injured player gets up. :confused:

Fan's cheer when injured players come off the ice/field/pitch/etc.
Fan's boo when players (of the opposing team) make things look worse than they actually are...
At least that's what I do...

I know it's not feasible with games such as hockey or soccer but I really like how if you stop the game in the nfl due to injury you have to miss at least 3 plays. Just think, if you stop the play cause you flop to the ice you have to miss at least 2 mins, maybe even 5 mins to make sure it's not just a normal shift.

[Azure]

Brutal period all around.

Horrible effort by Iggy....heck, everyone seemed to disappear.

Hopefully Keenan has a good talk with them.

[brownstown24]

it can be done, lets go Flames!

[old-fart]

I'm confused what part of the system they are missing when, on a 5 on 3 we fail to get any reasonable shot on goal. That's not a lack of "knowing the system", that's just a lack of effort and execution.

Otherwise known as suckage. And that the Flames have down pat. The learned it down the stretch last season. They perfected it in the playoffs. The practiced it all pre-season. And now they are demonstrating their considerable skill in it during October.

Again.

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

So we are supposed to just accept our team sucking each and every Oct???

It almost cost them a playoff spot last year, so just say "Don't worry Flames, we know you guys suck in Oct, so take your time! Fall behind by 10 points in the playoff race! It's all good!"???

Precisely.

Well put.

they werent saying "boo", they were saying "lou".

[stuck_in_chuk]

May be an interesting after hours tonight

[beachy]

ok can the Flames team from the 1st period please show up again for the 3rd?!
and maybe make a game out this.......

[Machiavelli]

If they at least played like they gave a crap I would be optimistic about this period.

They look like they're skating in quicksand, and Kipper . . . this is NOT how you prove you're worth Iggy money. In fact, Iggy - this is also NOT how you justify Iggy money.

[phaneuf_train]

I think im going to avoid CP until we atleast score a goal. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Flames need an early goal, or this one is over.

[flame_boy_ant]

Isn't that what pre-season is for?

I always love it when the excuses start flowing.

No more exuses, No more blaming the coaches.

Our guys just dont seem to jell or something. They are crippled by the same malaise as last year, mostly lazy indifferent play, coupled with a lack of sustained physical play. Kipper. blah

[Juventus3]

im at the game tonight. 1st period they came out flyin but wow was that secend a joke. this game is huge or confidence. im scared.

[Crispy's Critter]

Ericson(sp) looks friggin brutal out there. He's easily the slowest player on the ice. Even when they had that little peewee player, the mounties, soldiers and anthem singer out there he was probably still the slowest

[Top Shelf]

Scott Mellanby is just brimming with charisma.

That was Mellanby during the intermission? He looked awkward

[Flames09]

I refuse to make excuses for the Flames they are lazy it's as simple as that.


Runs into Kipper.. nice and too many men doesn't get called..

[Hunter74]

Why are so many people making such a big thing out of Keenan getting mad.

It is starting to get very annoying with the whole Keenan is going to freak out now and everything will be fine.

The only way the players are going to get it into their heads that they have to work hard is after Keenan runs a vet out of the city. Someone like Nilson, Warrener, Conroy or Yelle type veteran. After Keenan runs one of those guys out of town will you see the rest of the lazy slackers pick it up b/c they fear beign moved not fear of being yeld at by Keenan.

I hope Keenans temper helps the team but we don't ahve to see a comment about it in every second post.

GO FLAMES GO

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Ericksson has all the hockey sense of a tree.

[Machiavelli]

Goalie interference? No.

I'm getting sick of all these stupid CBC sound issues. Unacceptable.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

It's time for the $7 million man to start playing like one. His team needs a lift and he's doing nothing.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Isn't that what pre-season is for?

I thought the pre-season doesn't matter? That's all I seemed to hear on this board before Game 1 of the season! They don't count for points... so who cares if the Flames look bad in them!!

Flames lose. Meh. Pre-season. Not real games any ways. :rolleyes:

[Flames09]

The pre-season doesn't matter as it counts for nothing but it's suppose to be used for building chemistry, identity and what not, the W/L at the end of the night isn't a big deal.

[flame_boy_ant]

It's time for the $7 million man to start playing like one. His team needs a lift and he's doing nothing.


Right now, i'd take anyone in the red uniform to "start playing".. :whistle:

[Vedder]

did anyone catch what dion said there...? haha

[henriksedin33]

brutal call, no freakin way that was icing

[phaneuf_train]

That was a weak call. Very borderline. Ill take it forsure though.

[Machiavelli]

Interesting roughing call. Well, we'll take it. I guess.

[Hunter74]

Well we get lucky that the Canucks get a soft penalty call on Naslund. Nice to see Phaneuf look mad.

GO FLAMES GO

[expatflame]

Make up call.

[henriksedin33]

did anyone catch what dion said there...? haha

Dion, the children are watching:eek: :D

[JiriHrdina]

Reffing has been bad all game - but at least its been bad both ways.

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

It was a late hit, from behind. I'd rather they call those than a million chintzty hooking calls.

[Machiavelli]

Langkow!!!

[flame_boy_ant]

Yahhh. abt time..

[flames17]

lanks goal

[I_H8_Crawford]

Yay Langkow makes it close.

[Flames09]

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO FLAMES GOAL!!!!!!!!!!! LANGKOW OF COURSE!! (good job Iggy)

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Great shot by Langkow. Flames needed that one in a massive way.

[kevman]

It seems the only clutch guy on our team is our "non #1" #1 center...

[beachy]

thank you Lanks

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Lanks!!!!!

That boy's on fire!!!!

[Flickered Flame]

Everyone back on the wagon

[expatflame]

Huh, still haven't scored? Lag

[flame_boy_ant]

Iggy hustled to take the icing away. yah iggy. ya langkow!

[Puddy27]

Atta boy Lanks. Nice hustle Iggy. Weak call and they make the best of it.

[Vedder]

Langkow! It's amazing his ability to be invisible for nearly two complete games yet he has scored 3/4 of our goals this season.

[philip1985]

Langkow, good start to the season, come on boys one more here

[HelloHockeyFans]

I wish Calgary had a number one centre.

[Flames09]

Everyone back on the wagon


Nobody was off... getting angry at your team doesn't mean you're off the wagon. :mad:

[beachy]

now keep it going boys

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Good effort by Iginla to beat the icing call. Kept the play alive and the puck in the Canucks end.

[Phanuthier]

Thank you Daymond

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Langkow on pace for a 123 goal season.

lol

[kevman]

I wish Calgary had a number one centre.

Yeah, it'd be nice to have a #1 center with 3 goals already like Briere...

[Phanuthier]

Good shift by Lombardi and nice setup as well.

[HOOT]

Iggy needs to be the one to score the goal that ties it up!

[Phanuthier]

Langkow on pace for a 123 goal season.

lol
i really think sarich will score 40 goals too :w00t:

[phaneuf_train]

Paging Jarome Iginla!! Paging Jarome Iginla!!!

[flame_boy_ant]

Vancouver is on their heels a little, Flames should really press, play aggressively.

[Machiavelli]

Flames need to start cycling on the forecheck.

[Homer_J]

Since nobody mentioned it, Lombardi was flying on that play. His speed never ceases to amaze me.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

The number one line is getting outplayed by the number two line, badly.

[kevman]

Am I the only one that is suprised by Nolan's speed??? He looks pretty quick for an old guy...

[philip1985]

Dump and chase Flames, dump and chase, crash the net = garbage goal = tie game

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

i really think sarich will score 40 goals too :w00t:

and Iggy's gonna end up with zero goals too...

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Dump and chase Flames, dump and chase, crash the net = garbage goal = tie game

Good call. Time for an ugly goal.

[Vedder]

Am I the only one that is suprised by Nolan's speed??? He looks pretty quick for an old guy...

Yeah he's been quicker than I thought he'd be but i'm disappointed with the decisions he's making wtih the puck. Might just be lack of chemistry with the new linemates.

[beachy]

come on Iggy - get mad, it is time for goal#1

[Phanuthier]

At the risk of kermitology getting whiney and passive aggresive, Huselius has been getting alot of chances lately.

[phaneuf_train]

Lanks!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMG

[Machiavelli]

Frick LANGKOW AGAIN! He rocks my world!

[Phaneuf]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HOOT]

4 goals in 2 nights...trade that man!

[beachy]

woo hoooooo!!!!

[flame_boy_ant]

yah.. hard working goal.. for the First Line. !!

[philip1985]

Ugly goal, tie game, Langkow!!!

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Langkow is on FIRE!!!

[Flames09]

Wooooooooooooooooooooo Tie Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Langkow Again!!! Who said what ABOUT A NUMBER 1 CENTRE???

[Vedder]

i gotta say it lanny, iggy looked good there.

[Joborule]

Langkow Is A Beast This Season!!!

[serge2k]

164 goal pace

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Oh...

Yeah...

That's the stuff!

[HelloHockeyFans]

Man, if Saprykin ever breaks out, Sutter's gonna look real bad dealing him AND Gauthier for that schmuck Langkow.

[Puddy27]

Holy moly, I am loving Lanks! Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

[Phanuthier]

and Iggy's gonna end up with zero goals too...
you are so wrong, Langkow's going to get 165 goals this year.

[stuck_in_chuk]

every time i drink a beer, Langkow scores!

time for another beer, i guess.

[phaneuf_train]

I seriously just hurt my back.

[Nufy]

He's makin my hockey pool look mighty good right now....

[Abandoned]

BAM ! Langkow is my god ! praise the lord!

[Machiavelli]

Great hard work by the top line.

[Mongo]

164 goal pace

Ouch...what kind of dolla-bills will it take to re-sign him??!!!???

Please lord don't let this be a 3 point game!!!

[Lanny_MacDonald]

That was classic Iginla. Man, did he dominate that defenseman to make that pass out front.

[expatflame]

WOw, Langkow. Mental note: trade for Langkow in my fantasy pool!

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Langkow is now on pace for 164 goals....


EDIT: Dang, I type slow...

[flame_boy_ant]

Stupid Canucks Mahwhahahaa! :D

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Langkow now on pace for 164 goals.

Damn you IFF

[Bobblehead]

The number one line is getting outplayed by the number two line, badly.

The #1 line has both goals this period.

But the #2 line has seemed to apply more consistent pressure

[Machiavelli]

Luongo's ripped up hammy is looking alright.

Great speed by Lombo.

[The_Dude]

Somebody win in regulation!!!! That weak call on Naslund really turned this game around.

[Phanuthier]

Another big shift by Lombardi. I'm really liking this Lombardi-Nolan-(Huselius) line

[IginlaFan]

Time left in the game?

[Puddy27]

every time i drink a beer, Langkow scores!

time for another beer, i guess.
Stay double fisted then.

[simonarea]

wish i was watching the game!!!!!!! does anybody know where i can watch flames in action in chiang mai? bangkok? seoul????? i wont be back till dec :(

does anyone youtube?

[Homer_J]

How many goals is Langkow on pace for now guys....? =)

[beachy]

keep it going guys

[beachy]

How many goals is Langkow on pace for now....?
LOTS:D

[phaneuf_train]

See what happens when Godard is benched.

[simonarea]

is huselius playing?

[flame_boy_ant]

Flames really controlling the Third.

[expatflame]

wish i was watching the game!!!!!!! does anybody know where i can watch flames in action in chiang mai? bangkok? seoul????? i wont be back till dec :(

does anyone youtube?

Sorry bro, you are out of luck unless you have slingbox. Try the Canadian embassies, sometimes they show games.

[stuck_in_chuk]

Stay double fisted then.

cracking open the hat trick goal as we speak.

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Langkow now on pace for 164 goals.

Damn you IFF


Ha! Don't worry--I got scooped on that one too.

[Phanuthier]

How many goals is Langkow on pace for now guys....? =)
I think its 143

EDIT: too slow

[kevman]

I seriously just hurt my back.

Been there...not my back but I threw my shoulder out once throwing my arms into the air a little too aggresively.. Touchdoooohhh... In my defense it was already bum but that sucked!!!

[Bobblehead]

Sorry bro, you are out of luck unless you have slingbox. Try the Canadian embassies, sometimes they show games.

How about Centre Ice Online?

[Machiavelli]

Another ill-advised Tanguay penalty.

[I_H8_Crawford]

Awesome a late PP for Van.

[Bobblehead]

For gosh sakes Tanguay. How selfish

[Flames09]

Canucks gets another PP... last chance by the refs to allow the Canucks to take the game (dumb penalty Tangs).

[Inferno]

A late Vancouver powerplay. How typical.

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Been there...not my back but I threw my shoulder out once throwing my arms into the air a little too aggresively.. Touchdoooohhh... In my defense it was already bum but that sucked!!!

I once scored a goal in a rec league game and then threw out my back during the celebration.... :bag:

[Joborule]

Tangs got like a reserved seat in the box it seems.

[expatflame]

How about Centre Ice Online?

No, blacked out. I tried already

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Big kill now. Hope we don't see the craptastic PK we had in the 2nd.

[flame_boy_ant]

Big Kill. The Flames will kill it off!!

[Lanny_MacDonald]

This is nerve wracking. Kipper hasn't seen much rubber this period.

[Machiavelli]

Iggy robbed once again!

[TheContact]

Phaneuf for the Vezina! ;)

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Wow. That was close.

[Flames09]

Holy moly IGGY WAS ROBBED.

[flame_boy_ant]

OH good kill.. i think i lost my dinner. :whistle:

[expatflame]

Save by Phaneuf, did I hear?

[bigtmac19]

everytime I'm in the other room, Calgary scores, so I will be leaving the room now until the end.

[Bobblehead]

Ya know, I'm liking Craig Simpson doing colour,

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

... my heart just stopped for a sec...

[Phanuthier]

Phaneuf for the Vezina! ;)
Make yourself look big Dion

[serge2k]

who needs kiprusoff, phaneuf is good enough.

From now on I refuse to even think about the canucks without luongo

[expatflame]

Please God, win this in regulation

[IginlaFan]

what's the time left in the game?????

[Machiavelli]

Phaneuf for Norris.

[beachy]

what's the time left in the game?????
one minute left

[Reggie Dunlop]

oh god

[philip1985]

What a game so far, what a save on Cooke

[Machiavelli]

Too close.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Holy sloppy last minute.

[stuck_in_chuk]

now i'm glad for overtime

[expatflame]

Holy heart attack!!!

[Bobblehead]

Holy ****!

Ot!

[HOOT]

Oh the three point game...

[flame_boy_ant]

Thank God the puck hit Kipper.. PhEwW! :whaa:

[I_H8_Crawford]

Well at least the Flames got a point... hopefully two.

Must say, I think there's been more blocked shots in the 3rd period tonight by the Flames than there were ALL of last season.

[beachy]

well we got one point at least ;)

didn't look like that was possible after the 2nd

[Mith]

Phaneuf the last 2 games has been INCREDIBLE. Noticably different from last season, full of enegery and eager to play, I love it!

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Make yourself look big Dion

What is he, a puffer fish?:)

[Vedder]

who needs kiprusoff, phaneuf is good enough.

From now on I refuse to even think about the canucks without luongo

yes i guess that settles our pending salary cap problem doesn't it?

[Flames09]

I think I just had a heartattack..

[old-fart]

Much better period by the Flames. More of that in the second and this game would be over and we'd have already "put it in the win column".

Now we need to get out there and bury one in OT.

Come on Flames, make me eat my early words (post second period, pre-third period).

[stuck_in_chuk]

well we got one point at least ;)

didn't look like that was possible after the 2nd

didn't look like that was possible during the last minute of the 3rd.

[expatflame]

I'm still laughing at the comment, "Phaneuf for Vezina". Man...I'm so happy the Nucks didn't score

[troutman]

At least Keenan puts out the players that can score when you are trying to come from behind. Sutter and Playfair would just keep rolling the lines.

[Bobblehead]

The ice behind the Flames net where the zamboni gates are is terrible. Langkow tried to make a pass off the boards and it just bounced funny and created a whole bunch of Van chances.

[Flames09]

I hope their are zero penalties in OT.

[serge2k]

nooooooooooooooooooooo

[Flickered Flame]

Flames Power Play!

[phaneuf_train]

If the Flames lose this I will eat my own pubes live via webcam for all of CP to see.
lol jk Guarantee that guy made a new account.

[Jimmy Krack Korn]

Karma's a bitch eh, AV?

[I_H8_Crawford]

PP - Finish this game!!!

[flame_boy_ant]

nooooooooooooooooooooo

For the bad guys.. :whistle:

[philip1985]

Huge powerplay for the Flames, a chance to win the game in overtime

[beachy]

Nucks don't know *again* how many men are suppose to be playing...
finally caught by the refs

[Joborule]

Not like were gonna score on the PP...

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Time for the Flames to cash in a PP. HUGE opportunity.

[expatflame]

Do or die right here

[Machiavelli]

BAD giveaway by Iggy. Thank goodness for Kipper.

[Flames09]

Thank you Kipper, THANK YOU!!

[Joborule]

For god sakes with the turnovers!

[expatflame]

How the hell did that happen?!

[Freeway]

Phaneuf has really impressed me tonight.

And Langkow. Thank God I have him in my pool.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Brutal PP. Get Huselius out there.

[serge2k]

gah


I was hoping for one of burrows random really nice goals

[Machiavelli]

Not the shot you want Lombo.

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Time for the Flames to cash in a PP. HUGE opportunity.

Well... you know what THAT means... ;)

Seriously--a breakaway on a 4-3 PP?!?!?

[flame_boy_ant]

Wow. Lot of nothing there

[Bobblehead]

BAD giveaway by Iggy. Thank goodness for Kipper.

It was Langkow who gave it up

[Hunter74]

All of a sudden all the Flames players get stupid. Huselius wouldn't switch sides with Phaneuf for the one timer. Langkow was just dumb at the blueline.

[expatflame]

Refresh, refresh, refresh. Damn..

[serge2k]

wasn't someone saying phaneuf hadn't progressed?

umm...

[philip1985]

Phaneuf is having a good game tonight

[Lanny_MacDonald]

Was that just an ugly PP.

[flames17]

how does dion get a chance at a breakaway, but i really like him jumping into the play more

[phaneuf_train]

Refresh, refresh, refresh. Damn..
This is seriously a thriller. Im shaking.

[Flashpoint]

Good shift by Lombardi and nice setup as well.

Someday Lombardi will take a shot from an actual scoring position, and may shed the title of Ranheim 2.0 in my mind.

[Reggie Dunlop]

yikes

[Bobblehead]

Well, big kill coming up

[Flames09]

I want to see a shootout...

[Joborule]

Damn, short PK.

[Lanny_MacDonald]

So Vancouver gets the 4-on-3. 12 seconds. If they score on this, I'll be pissed.

[expatflame]

Ok, shoot out is our only hope

[beachy]

Well, big kill coming up
thank goodness it is only 12 seconds - big face off!!

[Machiavelli]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
