That Long Island starts at the city boundary.

Interesting! So the same would be said for Brooklyn too?

Now ahead of the Coilers in points %, with schedule about to get a lot easier!

Yep. NYC has five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. The two Long Island located boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are not considered part of "Long Island," which is basically a huge two-county suburban area of 3 million+ people stretching east of NYC and ending out in the Hamptons.

Setting up for a wild finish at the UC. 'Hawks 3-2 with 4 minutes left, over the Avs

In any case Belmont Park/UBS Arena is just a hair beyond Queens.

Very chippy at the end, but, the, according to the Av commentators, lowly 'Hawks beat the mighty Avs. These clown announcers were crying that the refs pocketed their whistles until the scrums at the end.

Oh no! From cup lock back to knob-lauched

Almost like the "out by US Thanksgiving" thing isn't a joke and it's actually hard to get back in from 8 games in the hole.

Not quite the cakewalk those coneheads foresaw.

Ottawa just blew a 3-0 lead

Canucks games have temporarily been banned from comment in OOT’s.
Whether they win or lose.
Understandable by a Calgary crowd that mock their neighbours across the mountains and beautiful landscape. Let alone the hatred for another franchise close by.
A pity there isn’t (occasionally) more neutral analysis, commentary and positivity,
here and there.

[alnigi]

Derision aside,
Your thoughts ?

[alnigi]

and in case anyone took my ‘banned’ comment above seriously,
Happy Solstice !

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Is English your second/third language?

That's a muddled and cryptic attempt at troll bait. Not sure what you want.. attention? Pats?

Nothing is "banned from comment" I just think no one cares.

[CalgaryFan1988]

I didn't even know the Canucks played last night, that's how little I care.

What the heck happened? That was a humiliating loss for the Sabres on home ice! The Sabres scored 30 seconds into the game and were okay until the BJs started to score at will, 7 straight goals. Yikes. Both Sabres goalies were terrible as the BJs took 34 shots on them. Fans chanting to fire the Sabres coach, just an ugly night in Buffalo.

Marchenko gets his second career hat trick and Johnny with 3 points.

Devon Levi was supposed to be a savior
Some says even better than Wolf


You never know with goalie

Your suggestion and insuatiion of muddlled troll bait reflects upon your character and lack of awareness.
Your comment about 2nd or 3rd language is very racist, and I very clearly communicated in English,
You commented , “ no one cares” . Yes, some people do.

No wonder why no one has posted recently in OOT’s about the Canucks. Canucks are dammed if they do or don’t, from most fans of CP.

I happen to be a long time follower of the Flames and Canucks,
and have followed them both for many years.
And love hockey and in turn ,
their rivalry.

A. You are welcome to comment about the Canucks.

B. Just don’t be surprised that no one cares about your comments about the Canucks, or perhaps even mocks them, on a Calgary Flames forum.
