^sadly you're right, but i think he would've been better than McBackup

I'm so excited guys

. All my jersey's have been cleaned and are ready to go minus the one from the 04 run which really smells like ass now.

Edit: Maggie the monkey picked us!

I'm going to try and wear my Flames jersey on Thursday here in Honolulu. Hopefully I don't boil.

Anyone have a GIANT Flames flag I could hang from my balcony? That would be sweet!

Really? I think the only guy that could back-up Kipper this year is someone that is nearly as good or better than him. Defensively, the team in front of any Flames netminder this year has been beyond poor.

Nevermind.

Well, that was THE WORST overtime I have ever seen. 10 seconds of pure suffering.

I agree that overall the team played really well.. just didn't take advantage of their changes and some bad turnovers.

Bigtime · #71 Posted **Apr 17, 2009, 1:42 PM**

I'm concerned that losing that game has given Chicago the confidence it needs to really make a run at this. They were like a bunch scared little kids in the first period, that is how we need to keep them all the time!

Innersoul1 · #72 Posted **Apr 17, 2009, 4:15 PM**

It was a solid game on Calgary's party. They did play quite well. Two things they need to work on:

1) POWERPLAY WTF?! We need to capitalize...it is just stupid wasting such opportunities!

2) Get the puck out when we are under pressure. Stop dicking around.

Compare Cami's performance over Olli's.

Both experienced players who had never played in the playoffs before. Completely different response to it.

Too bad he had to ruin it with that punch, but quite frankly a good chunk of the NHL has wanted to do that to Havlat for years. He's one of the dirtiest players in the league (in terms of guys who aren't enforcers or Averies).

I guess it would be an understatement if I said the flames didn't look great yesterday. I don't know what they're going to do to turn the tide. Anyone have a Chicago Blackhawks voodoo doll I could borrow?

Bigtime · #75 Posted **Apr 20, 2009, 3:43 PM**

We really need to win this one tonight. Or else we REALLY need to win on Wednesday.

Deepstar · #76 Posted **Apr 20, 2009, 6:33 PM**

Time for the Flames to pull out the old cliche's. We should be hearing some of these classic gems this evening before the game.

'Our backs are against the wall', 'It's crunch time', 'we need a better effort', 'time to get back to the basics'...yadda yadda yadda

Innersoul1 · #77 Posted **Apr 20, 2009, 7:24 PM**

Let's hope that the Sea of Red really rallies tonight! It's a big game!

Stang · #78 Posted **Apr 20, 2009, 8:15 PM**

Maybe I'm just celebrating 4:20 or something, but I'm not worried about the Flames yet. For some reason I can see them getting back into this series with a couple of home wins. Just my gut.

Tomorrow you can all taunt me and my gut if I'm wrong.

Danma · #79 Posted **Apr 20, 2009, 10:24 PM**

They can recover but this pattern of kicking ass for 1 of 3 periods won't get them out of this mess. Game 2 made me want to throw my TV out my window... you have to play all 60 minutes if you expect to get anywhere. It's hard to watch when you see Vancouver kicking the Blues around like a rag doll -- that's what this round should have been for us as well.

Look way up · #80 Posted **Apr 21, 2009, 6:15 AM**

Jokinen finally showed some game tonight.
