Kind of surprised at the lack of creativity by Cervenka on his opportunity.
I think we were all hoping for some crazy euro skills, but from what little I've seen of Cervenka, he definitely comes across to me as more of a playmaker than a scorer. He kind of seems like Tanguay in many ways... he makes the plays, but needs someone to do all the shooting.
Meh can't complain about that game. Deserved the win. Played really well against one of, if not the top teams in the league. No real stand out poor players. Just some luck with the Hawks.
I hope this team shows up a lot more.

The Kane goal needs to be stopped, and the Hossa goal he was laying on the ice before the puck even got there. We needed him to preserve that win, and he didn't.
Sure it was a entertaining team, but this team is bad, and there is a good chance we finish last in the NHL.
?????? After seeing that game you think the flames will finish last? If anything that game has me thinking 9th place and no trades.

Yeah. Any time Tangs misses on his attempt it's likely going to be a longshot for the Flames to win the shootout but Hudler's move was nice and Emery was just having one of those games tonight. Kind of surprised at the lack of creativity by Cervenka on his opportunity.
Yep, got to see the shooter everyone wanted to see, not impressed. But, I still think a great pp line would be Cervenka, Hudler and Iginla.

I honestly don't think they could have kept up with a team of Sarich and Pardys. The last time I can remember a team looking that out of it were the Flames in that 9-0 Boston game.
Its coming around, it is apparent. Best 59 minutes of hockey in three years. Loss hurts more than usual because we dominated the team. But Emery proved to be the deal breaker.
Kipper looked better tonight, by a mile.
Hudler is amazing and is now proving he was more than a secondary part in the wings success.
Backlund needs a bounce or two but otherwise was awesome tonight.
All four lines were very solid. D was great.
the score decieves but we owned that game. Cannot complain too much.

I think Cervenka saw that two dekes were read easily by Emery so he went for something different, the quick wrister which Emery was fortunate to get a shoulder on.

Well he did score a lot of goals in the KHL so he knows how to put the puck in the net. Possibly NHL goaltenders aren't giving up what he's used to maybe.
