But yeah, the Kipper booing was horrendous. Bunch of jerks that don't really understand Sportsmanship.

Great thanks.

Oh, and while you're fixing things, your Kipper sig is missing an "i" in his first name. Sheesh.

I was at the Heat game, so can someone please fill me in on the booing of Kipper?

[djsFlames]

I was at a bar just hanging out, and they had the game on all the TVs. It was packed but no one in particular cared to pay attention. I was getting caught up in conversation when I kept looking over to see them actually rushing the San Jose net and making some nice plays. And then Kipper making some incredible saves for a while, then the Backlund goal, (which was slick) and it started to really catch my attention seeing the boys actually playing well enough to win, and in the shark tank of all places. Didn't catch the 3rd period but it was such a shame to find out they lost it late in the game. Despite the circumstances I was actually hoping they would get a deserved win after that circus last game. We needed something good in all of this.

What makes me happier than anything though is to see that Kipper was a stone wall again. I was wondering how many more of those kinds of performances we would see before he'd hang them up. Makes the Flames fan in me very happy and in a weird way, sort of nostalgic. Good game.

Nothing notable. Just the usual.

I didnt attend the game, but what i'm gathering is that our goalie that didn't care enough about his hockey career to go to a team that actually had a chance to win something didn't put in a spectacular effort into winning a game for the team that was easiest for him to collect his paycheck for without having to actually have to put in an actual effort, and the people who attended the game didn't appreciate him for that. Is that about the long and skinny of it? Or did our bottom of the league goaltender actually put in a botttom of the league effort and many of the fans that still live and die by the fact that he used to be an above average nhl goaltender took offense to calling a spade a spade?

When your starting goaltender decides that winning anything is less important than being comfortable with the rest of his career, right or wrong and you support him for that, you pretty much submit your right to criticize him for any less than inspired efforts for the rest of the season, no?

Well, then you'll be disappointed when #34 is put up there beside 9, 30, and 12.

Let me guess...hardcore Flames fan, right....?












(then you'd know the Flames were playing in SJ, and it was the SJ fans booing him, not Calgary fans, so none of your 5 tangents you've gone off of are anything but a complete and ridiculous fail)

You a butt hurt leafs fan or something? Had a good chuckle at the leafs being a team that has a chance to win something. Maybe he decided it's better being with one of the jokes of the league for a couple months than being part of THE joke of the league for decades.

Try to troll Kipper after game of this kind? When basic facts have you not?

That... is why you fail.

Go into exile, you must.

[Papakevgo]

Well Kipper wow, very good game. To bad you don't have a team in front of you. On the bright side first pick overall is looking better, just need those Avs to win a few. Still very entertaining game when you get to see Kipper stand on his head!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gargamel]

As long as we consistently give efforts like that, I have no problem with us going through some tough times. I'd much rather watch a bad team go down swinging than watch a good team mail it in.

He put family as his first concern. Nothing but respect for people that do that. you can talk all about contracts and having to go where a team sends you but sometimes in some situations family trumps it all.

Of course, it was reported he wasn't going anywhere and then if he jumped at the chance for a couple year extension at big money like Nonis was trying to throw at him I'm sure the complaint would be how he chased the money.

But Ken King said we don't retire numbers anymore, just make them forever a Flames.

Hahahahah, wow. I have made a right proper ass of myself on the internet a time or fifty but, You sir, have just won the Internet Boob Post of the Month with that one. Not once have I ever seen a single post contain so much wrong with it, and Fella, I've been on the internets since the very early 90's. Thank you for this. I needed a hearty laugh

Swing and a miss!

[Sakari]

The scariest part is that we aren't even the worst team in the league. How any team could be worse than this team is just.. unimaginable.
