please dont compare svens talent to that of halls or RNH,

3 games!

Looking at Wanye's MS paint thingy above and just noticed another little tidbit of interesting information. If the Oil win tonight they will surpass their point total from last year. And the year before that.

If Calgary wins they still need 12 points to even tie their total from last year.

Will the Flames make the playoffs this year? Answering that is like when your brother asks if you can pop that discustingly huge zit on his back. (For you cerebrally challenged flames fans the answer is "no").

Evidence of progress and decline is irrefutable.

Yes folks. I'm exceedingly glad I'm us and not you.

That being said, I can NOT stand that Vintage Flame guy...like I really hate him and I've never met him.

Yeah!! Me neither.. Wait...
I always find it funny when people say, "I can't stand that guy and I never even met him." It shows me that you hate me because of one of two reasons..

1. You know what I'm saying it right.

2. My kungfu is just that much better than yours. :)

Pick your poison, but either way all PR is good PR, so thanks for the love brotha!!

Soupy, an inspired piece. I started welling up. Thanks for taking a moment to serve up the Truth to our Cal-Gay-rean neighbors.

Its got to be the kung fu, you have never said anything correct.

Agreed. BUT

they can lose out and still make the dance.

bastards!

We came out of the dark ages after the CBA only to have 1 good year then The Armageddon era which we are still in.

where is Omark? does sitting mean he is done as an Oiler? I s he in the doghouse again? Not good enough to play.

That's funny, cause I'm pretty sure I said that the Oilers defense was going to be an Achilles heel this year.. AND that if Re-Khabby was able to stay sober long enough to legitimately lose the starting job to Dubnyk, they he too would screw it up.

How about that? Was I correct about any of that??

Tomorrow yes.

Wow. I haven't been this proud of being an Oiler fan in months. Best GDB in ages. More than anything Oilers, KICK THE FLAMES IN THE JUNK, TAKE THEIR PLAYOFF POSITION, and GIVE IT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

ya cause you were the first one to say that. Im pretty sure that every legit sports writer said that.

99 percent of edmontonians said that also.

I watch TSN too.

We all said that Iginla and Kipper would carry the flames to an 8th or 9th place finish.

So I guess the trends of sports writers are correct. That means that the flames are set to be in the ten worst for the next couple years.

The Vancouver Green Men (fans) or the Sedins...?

Wanye is now my Troll god. Awesomeness all around.

Thanks. I guess emergency callups are a bite different post TDD then.

Oh yes the old days...I am one of the 40+ generation that grew up in the heyday of the BOA...watching those I am so pumped to see some kickass action tonite and I miss old Ed Whalen and Stampede Wrestling :(

One of the best fights I remember from BOA was when Jason Arnott ragdolled Otto....loved it.

ya cause you were the first one to say that. Im pretty sure that every legit sports writer said that.

Why thankyou..

For the record, I said it on August 19 2011 at 04:01PM

The sisters for sure! Look at them! There freaking aliens! Nobody’s heads are that oblong with skinny faces!

and the draft was sometime in June where tsn would have said it first.

Last big game of the season. We need to build off of our last meeting and show these guys that we are coming. 4-3 Oilers!! Hall scores the winner with less than 5 minutes left in regulation. GO OILERS GO!!

Funny thing, my wife took a picture of me on the i-Pad with the warped mirror set up & it looks just like the Sedins... (I hate to admit that but at least it's just a warped photo & not real), extra large cranial frontal lobe.

Who new you could get TSN on the rabbit ears in Shelbyville...hmmmm

Calgary would be nothing without edmonton and edmonton nothing with out calgary.

stupid comment to make, this is about hockey not which million person metropolis got cable first.

I guess when you got nothing brag about in hockey you have to find other stuff to write about.

Hold on a sec...wasn't Shelbyville always one step ahead of Springfield? That was the source of conflict, and why, ultimately, Shelbyville's town hall was burned to the ground by ravenous Springfieldians...are you coming to burn down Edmonton's city hall?

We need a lemon tree to cement this pointless rivalry.

... and your arguing about a comment?? Who said it first? Seriously, who gives a crap. Vintage knows his stuff and you don't, so don't complain about my comments when you went a string about a retarded & irrelavent thing that someone said.

And what exactly do you have to brag about? 29th place?

And by the way, Vintage's comments are as strong and true as his Kung Fu...........

Hm... From that picture, it looks like RNH has the body of Justin Bieber.

...If Justin Bieber had the BODY OF A GOD

I didn't know that the gods had bodies resembling 12-year-old girls.

When you and Vintage Flame are done "pulling each others goalies" feel free to join us in the real world. Also replying to your own message is somewhere between Delta Bravo and Delusional in the old "Flame Fan Handbook".

What do you have to brag about? A struggling 9th place team? C'mon lets be honest the flames are doing better but you guys really have nothing to brag about. If you make the playoffs you won't go far and thats a really big IF.

Or you are an ignorant moron with a drinking problem... You can't even spell your name right without looking at the tag your stepmom hung around your neck. Surprised you hicks have internet access down there. When you're done, pull your head out of that cows ass and step into reality.

I don't want to know how you know what the body of a topless 12-year old girl looks like. Can somebody record that guy's IP address please!?

This is why the Hockey Gods have foresaken Calgary. Hubris. Look it up. Results arent favourable.

I didn't say that I had anything to brag about. I know the reality of our teams situation. I'm just going to enjoy the ride as long as I can, because right now, it's on the edge of your seat exciting and fun.

No need. Pretty sure he and Chris Hanson have chatted on "To Catch a Predator - the Calgary Files".

Mort: Err .... uhh .... the duct tape and rope? They are for a ..... uhhh ...errr.. a craft! Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket, a craft!

Man this stuff just writes itself when Flame Fans come trolling!

Actually dude, you're trolling our site....

LOL!!!!! ZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

I beg to differ. The hockey gods have been the reason the Flames have been on this recent run; there's really no other logical explanation.

I think your mom smoked crack when you were still in her womb and then dropped you continually after birth because you are one messed up MF'er.

No fear people, you can't really put any weight on anything someone says from a city that has no idea how to number their streets as if math wasn't taught in their schools.

If Calgary was so great how come they don't have a mall that anyone has heard of? And why would you have a stadium shaped like a saddle? Your not cowboys, your city boys and the real cowboys just come to compete there. And who names a neighborhood after a cigarette brand????

Seriously Vintage Flame and T&A4Flames are delusional, and potentially a little retarded.

Vintage, if you really believe "all PR is good PR" you're going on the same train of thought as Sean Avery who sucker punches other players and leaves his sloppy seconds for Flames players to hit up...no wonder I hate your guts.

As for T&A4Flames - well how you compare Sven to any young Oiler is beyond me...Sven is the only good thing you have for next year, while the Oilers have several young guns, all of which I'd take over Sven (not that he's bad, in fact, I'd say Sven is going to be a good player). That being said, our comparisons and our "hope" is based around the following analogy:

There are 2 residential lots next to each other - sure the Flames have a full home built on their lot, but it's about to fall apart any day now. Meanwhile, the Oilers may only have a foundation built, but it's one hell of a foundation, and when the project is all said and done - it'll be a pretty wicked mansion that all will revere...

Oh, and don't forget that you two can Eat Sh!t...

See "Reality" in post #130 earlier. It is on both Nation sites, Jethro. Maybe the internet really IS a new-fangled device in them parts!

9th place IS foresaken by the gods, Mort. Mid round, no playoff, close but no cigar, Hell.

Continue rolling the ball up the hill, only to have it roll back down. Forever hungrily grasping at the fruit in the tree only to have the branches pull back just out of reach.

That is the curse placed upon you, my friend. That is how the gods have chosen to forsake you. And that you havent realized it yet only serves to keep the impending disappointment so disheartening.

And on a totally unrelated note. . .

Peter Pocklington wrote a newspaper article where he justifies trading Gretz--then takes shots at anyone who suggests he sold him off. I gotta hand it to Puck: he's got balls the size of a Holstein bull.

http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/03/16/peter-pocklington-sets-the-record-straight-on-the-oilers-and-wayne-gretzky/

Haha.. Great comeback. On a scale of 1 to 30.. I'll give you a 29. Good luck in the lottery... again

So... If 9th is forsaken by gods, what is 14th? I s'pose that's what you call blessed in Shelbyville.

What would you call the right to select 2nd in the entry draft? A kick in the pants? It has all the same perks as 9th, but with an infinitely better draft prize.

Do you think Pittsburgh wished they could have drafted Petteri Nokelainen at 16 instead of Malkin at 2 in 2004? Doubt it.

That makes sense in a slowest-bike-race sort of a way. Those scum-sucking Oilers are so fortunate, I wish the Flames lost consistently like your team does. :(

I suppose if your from Calgary you would argue until blue in the face the 16 would be better because it shows better performance in the regular season. And that view reflects management as well never willing to fully commit to one side or the other and always ending in the middle. Also our GM sounds like an idoit when he talks so he keeps his mouth shut as much as possible but Feaster sounds like an idoit but thinks hes the best politician in the world and keeps running his mouth. I supposed that the similarities between Calgary and Toronto.

Depends, how many Sven's can you draft at 18th overall?

Keep handing middling veterans too much money, and no-movement clauses.

Glad Jaybo is working out for you guys
