This is great news.

I'm convinced Drew Remenda has a crush on McDavid (or as Remenda calls him, "Connor"). Listening to that ding dong talk is nauseating.

Stoked we got Rick Ball! Wish Hrudey was there too but oh well.

Each team wins at home games 1-6.
Game 7 at Anaheim, which curse gets broken first? That would be interesting to see.

Yes yes yes, should've been done 2 years ago.

Getzlaf is probably my favourite non-Flame. He's done nothing to tarnish his name. Leave it be.

Bah, smart veteran play. Was against us so it sucks, and I believe it has come out now as officially as it ever will that the puck was in, but there's nothing there to hate him about.

There's a lot of things to hate about the ducks, and about a few players on their team, I'm just saying that Getzlaf isn't one of them.

Rest assured though that I will be just fine with hating him over the next 4-7 games.

Not a football fan at all, so that doesn't bother me in the least!

Wasn't he born in Saskatchewan? Saskatoon maybe?

Edit: Regina.

In San Jose and Anaheim, the arenas seem to be darker on the TV. why is this and wouldn't it make an impact on the road teams not used to it?

anyone??

Getzlaf was a great Hitmen and is still to this day actively involved with the team with his Getzlaf's Gamers charity work. Taking down his banner would be petty and classless.

Uh I hate to break it to you but he's from Regina and his brother played for the riders. I also feel you should know most Former and current and former flames aren't from Calgary.

Its all moot anyway. He sucks as long as he continues to play for Anaheim regardless of where he played junior or where he was born.

[djsFlames]

Let's hope they can focus and play the hockey we know they're capable of like when they thrashed them 8-1 in December before a couple last minute squeakers. They are capable.

Rise up and stick it to the man (/duck).

Are you being sarcastic?

I don't actually mind Garrett so long as the Canucks are not involved, but this is a strange description.

[direwolf]

If the Flames can pull off a shocker and win this series, they're winning the Cup.

[Inferno]

I've never liked Getzlaf. I've always thought he was a big whiner. I'm not from Calgary though so I have no attachment to him from his Junior days.

Ryan and Chris are brothers. Both like to up their games when playing against Calgary teams. Dislike them both for that.

Garrett is pathetic. The only good thing is that he is the biggest homer for whichever team he is announcing for. So get ready for some over the top Flames love!

and i'm pretty sure back in the CFAC days he took over for Scotty Bowman as our colour analyst with Ed Whalen, when Bowman went back to the NHL. Talk about a drop off.
