[PGT] Ortio shuts out the Canucks 1-0! Also Backlund is awesome.

You know ketchup is made from sub par tomatoes right? They are tomatoes you can't slice up and serve. Ketchup is made from tomatoes that are about to be spoiled . That's why they use the Tomatoes in this form of a gastrique ( vinegar sauce)

Every win against Vancouver is a glorious occasion justifying celebration, but the Flames will need much better efforts on their upcoming road trip to drag themselves back into a playoff spot.

It's becoming sooo f'n frustrating to watch the Flames break out of their own zone by either (a) blowing the zone for the long bomb if they have control, or (b) just predictably chipping to puck along the boards where a defenseman can easily pinch in to disrupt the breakout. It's resulting in the Flames rarely moving through the neutral zone with speed.

I hate to say it, but the Canucks breakout as a 5 man group, with plenty of puck support, is so much more efficient and conducive to creating rush chances.

Oh, and F'N WIDEMAN !! I must say that 10 times per game. His poor passing and penchant for meekly going back for pucks that inevitably leads to a loss of possession is infuriating. The Flames need to find a better defenseman to play with Russell.

Why are there more posts in this thread about ketchup than about the game?

Come on, the Flames just beat the Nucks in Vancouver for the first time in forever. There should be more dancing GIFs.

Really stressful game to watch. Flames had moments where they really looked good, but the Canucks controlled the puck for the majority of the game. Ortio looked great though and it's hard to believe we won and the Sedins got nothing!! Really good to see for the start of a long road trip! Monahan is a little cursed right now, how many posts has he hit recently?

You would like hot dogs in Michigan I bet. They have a law that requires all hotdogs have no tails ,face snots etc ... It has to be from an actual steak cut.

Actually, ketchup is made from tomatoes that are perfectly all right at the time, but won't last long enough to be shipped across the country by truck.

The same kind of thing goes on with other produce. In Costa Rica, I used to get the finest bananas you ever tasted for three cents a pound, because they would not survive shipping. Only the tough, gross, green bananas were long-lasting enough to survive a two-week trip on a banana boat. The good bananas had to be eaten right there in the country.

And now for a smooth segue: Tough bananas, Vancouver!

It was still a painful game to watch for long stretches of time, with Calgary's really poor puck possession and abysmal PP. But if you feel like gloating, good on you I guess

Don't get me wrong, I love that the Flames won tonight, but going into this one it was hard not expect an embarrassment.

• They put up a cluster#### of a game last night
• They had a late night travelling to Vancouver
• They were in a 9 game losing streak in Vancouver
• They were starting their third stringer who spent almost two days in travel hell to get to the game.

It was the recipe for a disastrous game. I'm fairly positive when it comes to this team, but this had the makes of a bloodbath.

I'm with you. I'll eat them roasted over a camp fire, but that's about it.

Great to finally have a goalie steal a game for us. Especially after yesterday's debacle.
