Flames @ Red Wings

[JurassicTunga12]

Go Flames

[Miniac]

Go Flames Go!

[Travis Munroe]

Can't wait for this win!!

[Redliner]

The way Peter Maher says "Cerrrrrvenka" is hilarious.

Go Flams!!!!

[expo2428]

Brunners first shift, Im looking forward to see how he does.

[Travis Munroe]

Borderline interference there

[Miniac]

Brunners is fast!

[Miniac]

Flames 1st fight!

edit: Ops!

[Machiavelli]

Ooh, Begin started well but took a few hard ones.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Beauty fight.

[puckluck2]

Tootoo is a beast for his size.

[Travis Munroe]

Too too looks like a mess . Good even fight!

[JurassicTunga12]

Nice fight

[3 Justin 3]

I like Steve Begin.

Tootoo was very bloody. Always good to see.

[Nathan89]

That's a win

[expo2428]

Here we go! 2 fights on the season haha

[Flames_Gimp]

bleed tootoo bleed

[Street Pharmacist]

Beauty fight.

Begin looked at first like he would be bleeding. Punched the ice hard too

[Travis Munroe]

Flames second fight, jack tossed em last game!

[Redliner]

Good try by Begin, sounds like Tootoo got the decision though?

[zamler]

Leaky.

[AC]

Wow Begin busted Tootoo's nose. Broken maybe?

[MrMastodonFarm]

I had totally forgotten/never knew Tootoo was a Red Wing, that was a funny moment.

Tootoo looks like Begin beat the crap out of him, but even fight

[puckluck2]

That's a win

If that's a win I'd love to see a loss. Tie at the very best. I'd give the slight edge to Tootoo.

[RedMileDJ]

Lots of blood. Awesome.

Do you see TooToo face its a mess.

not if he got his nose broken

[Miniac]

Yes Iggy!!

[Nammer403]

Igggy!!!!!

[3 Justin 3]

Iggy somehow scores!!!

[MrMastodonFarm]

Yessssss!!

[Hockey_Ninja]

Iggy! Finally!

[puckluck2]

Iginla!!!

[Nathan89]

Iggy! I had a feeling he'd score.

[Flames_Gimp]

iggy

[DownInFlames]

Iggy!

[Travis Munroe]

Hopefully iggy just opened his flood gates!

[Stay Golden]

Dance Iggy Dance! 1-0

[AC]

Yes! Great start! What a play by Tanguay to delay.

[EVERLAST]

Sweet

[nwflamesfan]

Iggy

[expo2428]

Iginla!! Hard work for the first goal of the season!!

[Short Shift]

Iggy's first of 30.

[Joborule]

Oi oi oi!

[Redliner]

Iggy!!!!

[wpgflamesfan]

Finally. Hope this is the first of many tonight for Iggy.

[EddyBeers]

Nice, good for Iginla.

[EVERLAST]

Time to pour it on #12

[Machiavelli]

Dirty areas, yeah!

[zamler]

So nice to see.

[puckluck2]

He finally goes to the net and look what happens. Glad he never stood in the slot for the one timer and went to the net.

[BBQorMILDEW]

No Lidstrom stopping Iggy from scoring anymore...

[vektor]

Tanguay made that happen

[JurassicTunga12]

Iggy finally

[DropIt]

color me impressed. I thought Begin was going to get pummeled

[AC]

Lots of blood. Awesome.

Better change your settings to remove this signature or posters will be yelling at you all night!

[Anduril]

Iginla just might pot another one tonight. Don't think Lidstrom would have let him put that one in.

[Stay Golden]

Iggy scored that on pure strength. Muscled it in.

[timbit]

Hardnosed, greasy and awesome goal by Jarome.

[EVERLAST]

How many games in hand do we have that we need to win?

[expo2428]

Lot of players getting kicked out of the faceoff dots this season thats for sure.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Full credit to both Tanguay and Iginla on that goal. Tanguay holding up and being silky smooth with his passes and Iginla powering through the wings defenders, somehow managing to get his stick on the puck, and slamming it in.

[Anduril]

Better change your settings to remove this signature or posters will be yelling at you all night!

I can attest to that. :bag:


Written without any suspicious signatures. Oops.

[Flame Of Liberty]

The way Peter Maher says "Cerrrrrvenka" is hilarious.

Go Flams!!!!

if he says "cherrrrrrvenka" then he pronounces it (more or less) correctly

[DropIt]

Iggy deserved that one

[Stay Golden]

How could Glencross ruin that 2 0n 1 stupid.

[zamler]

How many games in hand do we have that we need to win?
All of them of course.

[blankall]

How many games in hand do we have that we need to win?


....all of them? For the more concise answer, we have 3 games on the rest of the division. Wins in all 3 would put us one game above .500.

[Miniac]

Iggy moving his feet tonight

[Redliner]

Glad they dressed Brodie tonight. I'd love to see him have a strong game in front of his family. Pot one for the kids, TJ. FOR THE KIDS!!!

[puckluck2]

Lot of players getting kicked out of the faceoff dots this season thats for sure.

It's just like after the last lockout. Don't think it will last long. It's pretty annoying.

[Stay Golden]

Nice wrister by Iggy

[EVERLAST]

Trick question answered correct.....ha

[$ven27]

Bout time Iggy.

[Redliner]

if he says "cherrrrrrvenka" then he pronounces it (more or less) correctly

I figured that. It just sounds funny coming from Peter.

[zamler]

I like how Kerr reminds us that Iggy scored way back when, 2 minutes ago.

[vektor]

Kiprusoff and Iginla playing well? We win

[Hockey_Ninja]

Iggy with a lot of jump so far. Getting the monkey off his back is a huge blessing in disguise.

[EVERLAST]

Yeah vek......Kipper has carried this team on his back a long time....

[zamler]

Iggy with a lot of jump so far. Getting the monkey off his back is a huge blessing in disguise.
Where is the disguise?

[MrMastodonFarm]

Sportsnet had extra time this off-season to come up with new segments.. and they come up with Fan Right/Fan Wrong?

Morons.

[Yoho]

Iggy with a lot of jump so far. Getting the monkey off his back is a huge blessing in disguise.

What's the disguise?

[vektor]

Time for Camel Larry to get one

[expo2428]

Thats a stupid right or wrong question, sorry.

[Miniac]

I would like to see Cervenka and Cammy score tonight.

[expo2428]

Nice hold by Zetterberg and nice save by Kiprusoff!

[Trailer Fire]

Iggy with a lot of jump so far. Getting the monkey off his back is a huge blessing in disguise.

I see no disguises here. Iggy scored, we are winning. Where exactly is the smoke and mirrors?

[Stay Golden]

Cammy is getting out skated

[Miniac]

Nice save by Kipper

[puckluck2]

Kipper on his game.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Yikes. Clearly shouldn't have had that first shot, much less his own rebound.

[expo2428]

Oh my! Great save Kipper!

[J epworth]

Tough shift there, kippers first big test of the game, looking strong so far.

[EVERLAST]

I it just me or is clammy on his ass allot this year????

[Stay Golden]

Nice going on the PP

[Redliner]

Kipper solid so far but there's too much play in the Flames end

[Street Pharmacist]

Cervenka is looking very slow this game

[Miniac]

Flames PP. Get Hudler and company out there

[puckluck2]

Cammy is getting out skated

What's new. He has to be injured. That's the only explanation that makes sense. He was never this slow.

[MoreDrank]

If you like hockey, you can't hate on Detroit hockey. This is a fine game so far. Would like to see Cervenka bury one tonight.

[$ven27]

PP comin' up.

[vilzeh]

blah, I'm so disgusted by the lack of physicality this team has... Zetterberg almost walked in to the net..

[vektor]

What's new. He has to be injured. That's the only explanation that makes sense. He was never this slow.
fat and out of shape?

[Redliner]

A power play just isn't a power play without the Wolfmother intro.

[Saqe]

I it just me or is clammy on his ass allot this year????

More like thumb up his ass doing nothing

[SofaProfessor]

Oh man, lost faceoffs in the defensive zone will bury a team. They need to sharpen up because those last two shifts have been less than stellar. Hopefully Hudler can get one on the PP here and throw Detroit off a bit and say hello to the fans that miss him.

[EVERLAST]

No whirling dervish tonight????

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Sportsnet had extra time this off-season to come up with new segments.. and they come up with Fan Right/Fan Wrong?

Morons.

Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on a hockey broadcast.

I mean, I didn't know there were ethics involved in things like throwing your hat on the ice for a hat trick.

[zamler]

I can hate on Detroit all I want.

[expo2428]

Wideman with the powerplay goal! I got a feeling!

[Hockey_Ninja]

LOL i worded what i said earlier wrong. What i meant by what i said is that t that this game could be a blessing in disguise to finally get Iggy going offensively and the hate of him on here can finally start dying down. Hopefully Cammy can pot one soon as well.

[Machiavelli]

5 on 3! Let's go!

[Miniac]

5 on 3! yes

[DropIt]

have to score this

[karl262]

Here we go, 5 on 3!!

[MrMastodonFarm]

If you like hockey, you can't hate on Detroit hockey. This is a fine game so far. Would like to see Cervenka bury one tonight.

What, lol. I hate Detroit.

oooo long 5on3

[Frank MetaMusil]

Cmon guys, get another one here.

[Stay Golden]

5-3 keep Hudler out there

[Trailer Fire]

fat and out of shape?

Have you seen him without his gear on? Dude is damn cut.

[J epworth]

Oh this will be fun, almost 2 full minutes of 5 on 3

[3 Justin 3]

5-3 for 1:46.

Watch us just pass it around for a minute.

[$ven27]

Looked like a bit of a dive..

[Short Shift]

It seems as though Detroit's cheque to the zebras didn't clear in time.

[Machiavelli]

Scoreface!!!!!!

[EVERLAST]

Yessssssss.

[DropIt]

nice pass Cammy

[Frank MetaMusil]

Yes!

[3 Justin 3]

Scoreface!!

Sick pass from Squid.

[J epworth]

Scorface!!!

[Miniac]

What a pass by Hudler!

[wpgflamesfan]

great shot pass from cammy!

[Hockey_Ninja]

Scoreface!

[karl262]

Yeah Glencross!

[Redliner]

Wow - 2 man adv against the wings at home? This is unheard of.

Time to cash in!!!

[Ashasx]

Red Wings getting their own Red Wings treatment.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Beauty!
Cammy fumbled and bumbled but made a nice pass.

[puckluck2]

Cammalleri is useful! On the pp at least.

[nwflamesfan]

Scoreface

[Stay Golden]

Great pass by Cammy.
Scoreface 2-0

[JurassicTunga12]

Glencross!

[Joborule]

Good good start.

[Anduril]

Time to convert AGAIN!

[EVERLAST]

Very matterafactly

[Street Pharmacist]

Kind of a lame call for a 5-3


....goal! I'll take it!

[expo2428]

Great camera angle for that goal. Still lots of time on the powerplay to get another.

[Stormchaser]

Beauty!

[MrMastodonFarm]

Tanguay having a great first period

[Redliner]

Damn radio delay.

SCOREFACE!!!

[AC]

Beautiful pass by Cammalleri!

Detroit had 2 forwards on that 5 on 3 against... 2 defencemen in the box but still.

[Machiavelli]

Too fancy man.

[karl262]

Man, lookin' good tonight!

[EVERLAST]

Doesn't have to be pretty guys

[Saqe]

I´m shocked Glencross wasn´t able to miss the net on that one

[transplant99]

Brodie...just havent been impressed with him in recent games. Gotta be smarter than he has been.

[Anduril]

Too fancy again.

[DropIt]

that icing seemed very salvagable

[Stay Golden]

terrible icing call

[EVERLAST]

Anybody hear the sarcastic player profile on the mule this morning ???

[expo2428]

He gave up on that puck, how the heck is that an icing?!

[AC]

Oh geez I hate those icing calls. The defenceman stops skating entirely, ridiculous.

[Anduril]

weak icing call....

[Hockey_Ninja]

Datsyuk scares me.

[puckluck2]

Man Datsyuk is a magician.

[vektor]

This team is infinitely better than Sutter's version.

[timbit]

That is the problem on the road....Brodie against Datsyuk. That is a mismatch.

[EVERLAST]

I like Hudlers magic

[Stay Golden]

Cervenka not too noticable so far. The Team is flying tonight though!

[memphusk]

That is the problem on the road....Brodie against Datsyuk. That is a mismatch.

It's the challenge a young defender needs though.

[djsFlames]

So what's the latest criticism, you ol' CP boo-birds?

[DropIt]

Kipper looking good, Flames need to pick up their trailing forwards

[MrMastodonFarm]

Good save Kipper

[timbit]

It's the challenge a young defender needs though.

Maybe be needs it...at 1-3-2....the team does not.

[Stay Golden]

Kipper Kipper Kipper!

[expo2428]

Great passing, Detroit still looking pretty good.

[Hatter]

Kipper looks sharp.

[DropIt]

So what's the latest criticism, you ol' CP boo-birds?

Its still the first period, dont get ahead of yourself

[EVERLAST]

All the icings are making me fat

[Stay Golden]

Butler should have made that stretch pass.

[vektor]

Keeping the shots from bad angles is what is winning us this game. The team is noticeably different now, the amount of pressure they are putting on the puck carrier is insane compared to last year. When someone has the puck for Detroit there is almost always a Calgary guy attacking him. Hopefully they don't start sitting back and standing around, the pressure will win us this one.

[DropIt]

I forgot Renner was an assistant coach in Detroit.

Screw this, Flames are guaranteed a win

[Azure]

Pretty amazing what Detroit can accomplish with 3 NHL quality defensemen.

[BBQorMILDEW]

So what's the latest criticism, you ol' CP boo-birds?

Stajan still sucks.

[memphusk]

Maybe be needs it...at 1-3-2....the team does not.

What's the worst that could happen? Better off to do it early and see how he responds. Gives a better idea of where he's at. I would put Brodie on him before butler, smith, sarich or wideman.

[nik-]

This Detroit team just isn't the same. One more goal and I think they'll just fold.

[EVERLAST]

Awwww....sheeeeeeeeet

[Azure]

Detroit announcers saying Giordano is one of the big 3 right now. Sorry, but Brodie has surpassed him.

[3 Justin 3]

Nice dive Brunner.

[vektor]

Wideman is way better than Brodie at this point

[expo2428]

Bad penalty Bouwmeester, hopefully they can get through the period with a 2 goal lead.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Brunner has been diving all over the ice. He needs to stop that garbage.

[MrMastodonFarm]

What's the worst that could happen? Better off to do it early and see how he responds. Gives a better idea of where he's at. I would put Brodie on him before butler, smith, sarich or wideman.

Yeah, issue out of nothing. Young defenders get occasionally matched up against big name players all the time, it happens. It's not ideal but it's going to happen in each and every NHL game every night.

[$ven27]

It's amazing how big an impact Lidstrom had on that team, not the same team at all anymore.

[Anduril]

Bouwmeester has become too physical. Bench him /s

[nik-]

Detroit announcers saying Giordano is one of the big 3 right now. Sorry, but Brodie has surpassed him.

Lets calm down now.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Wideman is way better than Brodie at this point

Well. yeah.

[Lanny'sDaMan]

Hahahahahahah!!! Is Brunner really that weak on his feet? No way a little shove by JBo sends anyone flying like that. Well anyone not in a Canuck jersey that is.....

[You Need a Thneed]

Should have been an even call. Call the dive too, or call nothing.

[3 Justin 3]

Brunner dives and then Bertuzzi high sticks Comeau (no call).

The reffing BS has started.

[AC]

Looked like Comeau got clipped with a highstick on that entry.

[Stay Golden]

Get Comeau out of there!

[nwflamesfan]

Butler with a handful of nice plays in the period.

[transplant99]

Detroit announcers saying Giordano is one of the big 3 right now. Sorry, but Brodie has surpassed him.



No...he has not.

[Anduril]

No...he has not.

Agreed. Brodie could be, but still isn't quite where Gio is defensively.

[zamler]

Flames made the Wings look like a blind peewee club on valium.

[memphusk]

Yeah, issue out of nothing. Young defenders get occasionally matched up against big name players all the time, it happens. It's not ideal but it's going to happen in each and every NHL game every night.

Agreed. The way I see it is the little bit of youth we have should have a chance to go up against the best. Stepping up in a challenge works wonders for morale.

[Anduril]

Oh good. No late goals allowed?

Serious note, that was a great 1st period. Smart defensive play in our zone with active sticks, and we're being a (little) less fancy with offensive plays in the zone and getting pucks on net.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Anyone else really like the Wideman trade/signing?

He has added a really differnent element back there.

[Kool Keef]

More of that, please. I think I needed that period more than the Flames did.

[BBQorMILDEW]

Great first period. Hopefully they don't sit back and think they've won this game though, Detroit is going to come out swinging in the second.

-Get Stajan off of the PK. His Faceoffs are embarassing!
-

[Azure]

Agreed. Brodie could be, but still isn't quite where Gio is defensively.

Oh he still shows his inexperience. But Giordano should be our #2 guy, or perhaps even #1, and Wideman has been noticeably better.

Brodie has been playing great, and is showing a lot of growth and great potential. I put him ahead of Giordano RIGHT now.

[dammage79]

Great first period, next up, taking the effort through the next forty minutes

[Ashasx]

Anyone else really like the Wideman trade/signing?

He has added a really differnent element back there.

Wideman brings what Babchuk had brought 2 years ago for us. Except he's 4 times better at it.

[zamler]

Pretty quiet in this thread, Flames must be winning.

[Hatter]

I've certainly enjoyed Wideman. He's miles better than I expected.

[vektor]

I am liking Bouwmeester's play, he jumped up on the rush, cross-checked somebody, he dropped to his knees and blocked a shot. I don't remember him doing any of those once last year.

[flamesfever]

Anyone else really like the Wideman trade/signing?

He has added a really differnent element back there.

Absolutely. He along with Hudler and Cervenka are great building blocks.

[djsFlames]

Solid road period. Cammy and Jarome steppin' it up!

Kipper looks 200% better than the last couple games.

I think a road trip is what the doctor ordered for the team.

My only beef is with Tanguay, shoot buddy!! Guhh. Still forcing those passes like no tomorrow. No need to be over-the-top fancy just cause you're in detroit's house.

As for DET, Zberg is pesky as always. Can't seem to knock the puck off that guy's stick..

[Short Shift]

Great first period. Hopefully they don't sit back and think they've won this game though, Detroit is going to come out swinging in the second.

-Get Stajan off of the ice. Everything he does is embarassing!
-

fixed.

[Anduril]

If I had $150 and someone pointing a gun to my head to spend it, wouldn't hurt to have something nifty (if not a bit of a basic novelty item) like this.
http://www.budweiser.ca/redlights/

[AC]

I'm seeing what I was expecting from Wideman's offensive game so far... but have been really surprised by his defensive game too. Much better than I feared.

[BACKCHECK!!!]

Refs have forgotten which team they are trying to help this game.

But dont worry, they'll remember by the end.

Some of the worst officiating I've ever seen has been in this building.

[Lanny'sDaMan]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Haha Brodie is awesome.

[Ashasx]

This kid's favorite player is Eberle?

Fire his ass.

[dammage79]

Always thought one of Kippers greatest strengths was his ability to direct his rebounds right to where only his player could get them. Hasn't really done that at all that at all this year but tonight he is doing a real good job of it. He has also been tracking the puck real well for the last two games as well. Good sign. Hopefully hes snapping out of whatever crap rut he was in.

[Yoho]

Next goal is big

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Haha that was awesome. I liked that. Brodie's a good guy. Loved his reaction when the kid said his favourite player was Eberle: "Oh no..."

[vektor]

Hopefully hes snapping out of whatever crap rut he was in.
I remember listening on the Fan where they did an indepth goalie analysis. Whoever they had was talking about how goalies usually learn by pure repetition and the instinctual aspects of the game leave when you stop playing. Most of the time in practice the goalie does small maintenance where most of the work is in the games. They also talked about how, after the break, if any player was going to have a bad game it was going to be Kipper and boy did he ever.

[Travis Munroe]

I typically disagree with everything the panel says but no lines were crossed in that fight. Its not like the guy was laying on the ice. He was still on the way down and as mentioned, the adrenaline is going and its real tough to stop on a dime when the guy still has your jersey.

[djsFlames]

I want a Cervenka goal.

[Flash Walken]

Boy, this game has been rough on my beer consumption. Beer always tastes sweeter after a flames goal.

[Flash Walken]

"it's a fight!"

[sa226]

Kipper does look like he getting into a bit of a groove. I think in this short season they ride him until it is obvious that he is tired and needs a break, which could be the end of the season.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Detroit with a 20 minute powerplay.

Thanks Sportsnet.

[Miniac]

No goal

[puckluck2]

He scores??

[$ven27]

Woah Kipper.

[Machiavelli]

Crowd buzzing? Could have fooled me with this Sportsnet sound.

[DropIt]

Crossbar

[Miniac]

Haha no goal + flames pp! Win win!

[jg13]

derek friken smith!!

[Lanny'sDaMan]

OWOW!! Derek Smith!!!!!

[expo2428]

The only one buzzing was Rob Kerr...

[Stay Golden]

Thank you Smith!

[puckluck2]

That wasn't smith.

[JurassicTunga12]

Smith

[MrMastodonFarm]

Iginla not starting another PP, interesting.

[sa226]

Datsyuk hit the post on an open net??

The hockey gods are embarrassed with their performance on Saturday

[EM11]

Kerr looked like an ass there. He was the only one in the building who thought it was a goal. Doesn't he watch the red light??
