Great play by Flames. Lots of Flames fans in the barn. Go Flames Go competing with Go Canucks Go. Fin is a dumb generic mascot. Beers are good here. Very good. Promised my girlfriend I wouldn't be too bellicose with my section comprised of entirely Canucks fans. And I am holding steady.

"Sedin is not English for ..."
I always hated that Burke messed up with that quote and didn't say "Sedin is not Swedish for ..."

Intermission jumbotron quiz was something like "which Canucks player's spirit animal is a cat?"
Not a real city.

He actually discusses both teams more or less evenly and unlike Hughson doesn't get distracted by just jerking off to the big names.

It’s not close, Shorthouse grew up on Jim Robson who was a total pro. Always liked him, when I lived out there he was on the local Sports Page show, and always seemed like a nerdy kid that knew his stuff.

If they don't play him, they can't win. Or he really doesn't have any bad knee, they are just making it up so they can give him the Masterton at the end of the year.

Two reasons to fight.
1.Stand up for a teammate
2.Change momentum.
Matt gets it.

Shorthouse “Brodie fights off the Virtanen hook”. You’d never hear that from Hughson.

So many Sedin moments at the game. There is an ABBA tribute band that performs at whistles called Arrival. What is wrong with this city?

I even admired his call in OT years ago when VAN finally beat the Hawks.

The ABBA tribute band is the worst thing ever (for those at the game).

Loved seeing the expression of anger-filled joy on Tkachuk’s face after that goal. He stepped up tonight after we went down 1-0. Great to see.

Alright Flames let’s take over this game.
Mony gets a goal in the second.

Count me among the Shorthouse fans. I'm really enjoying his call tonight.
Anyway, entertaining first period. I actually enjoyed watching it. It's been at least a few games since I've been able to say that.

Gotta love how he's dropped them something like four times since being called a turtley turtle not even a month ago.
That's probably more times than Kassian has in the last calendar year.
Must have realized he enjoys pounding face.
