Can't tell if it's the fully loaded model though. I don't see the optional paper bag you put on your head when your driving it.

The Mitsubishi i-Miev Cargo was a failed Japanese concept car.

However, I've seen a couple of regular i-Miev cars driving on the road here in Calgary -- they sell them in both the dealerships in town -- and while Mitsu is my favourite car company (no disrespect to VW, I like them too) the i-Miev is the ugliest car outside of a Nissan dealership (Juke) on the planet.

The guy was one year removed from a career season and, despite a bad year (which I believe he was hurt most of the time), had proven chemistry with our two young star forwards. If they were needing more room you could always stick them with Brouwer (which I'm surprised hasn't happened yet).

Letting Jiri and Bob go were mistakes by Treliving I think.

They know more about him than we do. If he was hurt significantly and could recover, I'm sure they would have considered keeping him around. But he was terrible, and if it was just his decline, they would know better than any of us.

Elliott has deflected a couple of pucks nicely away from the danger zone.

Nice takeaway by Monahan in the neutral zone leads to another chance in transition

Monahan looks like a different player from the first 6 games. Much much better today.

Put Gaudreau back on the Monahan line.

[CroFlames]

This looks like the Monahan of yesteryear. Glad to have you back young man.

Don't know what was said in the meeting, but it appears to have had an effect. Let's hope it lasts 60 minutes

[-TC-]

These guys needed more road games to start the season... different team so far.

[dino7c]

Relax, Gaudreau has skate problems

[zamler]

Not sure if the Hawks are really bad or the Flames are having a really good game. But keep it up Calgary.

Why would you put your best playmaker with your best finisher? Seems silly

[Jaydee]

brutal play by versteeg

[wwkayaker]

I really dislike Tootoo.

[puckedoff]

Engelland is so good right now

LOL, yup, Schmaltz is chicken fat that accumulates on top of Matzoh ball soup, and is usually skimmed off and kept for....well putting on toast, or bagels as the case may be.

Man, living in Boca with a jewish family has made me incredibly jewish. Oy vey.

I've noticed that Elliot is superb at holding on to high shots instead of deflecting them. Whether it puts him at risk of letting the odd awkward one in, I'm not sure. But certainly better than the Hiller two-blocker approach to goaltending.

[agulati]

Much better start guys! Wideman has actually looked solid last couple of games.

[Hockey-and_stuff]

The Flames are much more engaged physically today too. Gio threw a big hit on Tootoo there, and earlier Jokipakka dished out a bunch of cross-checks to a Hawks player in front of the net preventing him from tipping the puck.

They don't have to put guys through the boards but they do need to make things hard for the other team and they are doing that right now.
