Not much better for most of the night, the only one who was winning was Stajan and he won a couple at the end but for most of the night they were around 40%.

Yeah 11 points in 13 games. He's terrible.

Liked seeing Bouw sitting on the bench later in the game still spitting and swearing, shaking his head a muttering to himself. Then he came out and upped his game a bit.

Very memorable game!

That was a jump out of your seat and yell, kinda comeback. So awesome!

This one could be the 2nd best, though.

Nice to see Iggy bang one in. He's been much better than a 2 goal season. Hopefully he'll snag another in the 3rd. Good fight back from the Flames after going down.

Let's see a big 3rd period guys.

I don't think Cervenka is fit. Maybe the blood thing or just getting worn down. I though Aliu was just sat tonight but maybe he is actually more hurt and Cervenka really shouldn't be out there fitness wise but the Flames have no other option without playing short.

I don't think Iginla has been getting a free ride, the same can be said for him.

[Five-hole]

That was an unbelievable play by Stempniak behind the net to poke that puck away from the defense while being blatantly tripped by Gordon (and no call, obviously). That's the kind of stuff that wins games.

Seems like he has been trying to be a better teammate, definitely much more involved in other areas of his game than he was last season.

Clearly points are the only way to assess a player. He gets pp points and then is useless and terrible defensively 5 on 5.

There's enough talk about his conditioning and health that something is up, and would explain limited time.

But 19 seconds of game play in the 2nd? That has nothing to do with being fit. I mean a 300 pound American can sprint for 19 seconds to get to the front of the buffet line.

Jesus, Jane Fonda looks 40.

[djsFlames]

I've been a Cammy fan since the first game he played for the Flames.

That ain't gonna change.. despite his 'invisible' games now and then.

He may not be much of a two-way player, but when he's doing this thing on the offense, he is still frickin spectacular. Sickest wrister on the team.

[Pierre "Monster" McGuire]

Brutal officiating in tonight's game. Glad the 'Dome fans are letting the refs have it.

He seems to have a little bit of Martin Gelina's in him. Not quite the terminator but works hard.

No issue with calling the rulebook as it is. The question is, why are these rules? Donald S. made the great point at the beginning of the year that these are fabricated in order to fabricate "excitement". The league has it all wrong here as it is detrimental to the flow of the game. But mostly, it is an insult to knowledgeable hockey fans. Its absolute BULSH. No one batted an eye, the league introduced a bunch of new "rules" and everyone nodded their head.
