I had that problem too. Up until about an hour ago it looped the game twice.

just got home from the game. so much fun, thought my heart would explode a couple of different times and bruised both hands banging on the glass after our 3rd and 4th goal. so glad to be a part of it...well a witness to it, not sure I was much assistance.


selfish question: I made a sign that said "thank you for watching city tv" featuring a picture of the city wok guy from south park. ended up getting filmed with it outside during the pre-game, as well as in my seat at the beginning of the second...did anyone notice if it made it to air, or did an editor somewhere figure out my joke and cut me from the program?

*sorry for the double post, ended up 20th on the last page and really want to know lol*

Well last time he did the slapper like in a shotout last April vs the kings in Calgary. I was at the game front row.

I have had a rough week at work. Check the score to decide if I am gonna watch the game. Down 4 nothing, I expected them to crap the bed sooner or later, so I had an amazing nap. Woke up check to see how bad they lost and see THIS!

This is almost annoying!

When is it safe for a fan to say "Hey you guys tried, its not your night"?

Does it have to be 10 nothing?

The loss sucks but stealing a point and almost the game is amazing. I need a "comeback" app for my phone, just to let me know when the team is doing stupid stuff like this.

You don't need an app. Just get a schedule and look for 'Game Nights'

[Street Pharmacist]

Had to drive to Barriere (about 50 minutes away). Originally was going to leave after the game, but felt it prudent and smart to leave after the second as I wouldn't miss much. It was neither prudent nor smart.

I have XM radio and listened to the game on it. It was the Sens feed and it was so awful. Here's an example:
"Schlemko takes the puck up past the line... (silence)... puck is along the boards and Ceci retrieves it. Up to Karlsson who dumps it in... (silence)... Colborne shoots!"

Umm, what? I've never had a harder time following a game. So frustrating. The only thing I could follow was that apparently the Sens stopped playing "their" hockey.

I know I know I know!

I am a little upset with the team though. I cut them a break tonight and I had an amazing nap. As I slept they don't cut themselves a break.

Tough week at work has resulted in many naps this week and a lot of missed hockey. I am now scared to watch games cause our record when I do not watch is amazing.

So I will continue this trend for all of our sakes.

Gio Who? We miss him bigtime. The team steps up! He should be an assistant coach on the bench right now. Do it for Gio!

#1 Candidate for an "Un-der-ra-ted *calp, calp, clap-clap-clap*" chant.... Kris Russell.


Also....these ribeye steaks that my tip-top wife picked up for dinner.

That was so nice I watched it twice.

Yup 1987. I was at that game with a bunch of co-workers. They were counting my money after the second period and crying at the end. Carey Wilson with the winner I believe.

What's really encouraging is that the key components moving forward (i.e. the youngsters) are absorbing the "never give up" team culture. This really bodes well for the team's future.

That is exactly what I was thinking right after the game. I will not be there on WED, I wish I could, but please let the guys know that we /fans/ are behind them and we really appreciate their unbeliavable efforts!!! HUGE, HUGE standing O before the Anaheim game please!!!!! GO FLAMES GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Get the tune in radio app and add fan960 as one of your favorites. I live in the US now and this is how i listen to games while I'm driving home from work etc. It does use your data though, so you have been warned.

I just re-watched the Johnny shootout goal. Really amazing, I didn't noticed as much at the time.

He stick-handled it AROUND Anderson's stick.

[megatron]

I was reading the GT during work this afternoon when the comeback started. I couldn't believe what was happening and then I just finished watching the game now and it's amazing what this team can do.

Kris Russell (and Wideman) were great tonight and it's nice (again!) to see someone different stepping up.

Also, kudos to Hiller coming in and shutting the door the rest of the game and Hudler's shootout goal was awesome. I hope we re-sign him after next year.

[UKflames]

I really think that we have got into the heads of any team that gets a lead against us. Once we score one goal they start going uh oh , here come the flames and actually start making more mistakes giving us more opportunity to come back. This will be a nice thing to have if we make the playoffs

[EldrickOnIce]

Will be interesting to see how that single point might be in the end

Their radio guy used to do the TV play by play before Rogers kicked him to the curb for an upgrade this year. He still calls the game like you can see it on TV. It is so awful.

[heep223]

That was some pretty terrible play calling and colour on the broadcast last night. Probably the worst I've heard in a long time. Bad timing, bad insight, long awkward pauses, bad analysis.
