Given that this is happening around 10 a.m. your time, I bet you’re not watching.
Boy, you guys gotta be pumped. We had our Thanksgiving down here in America yesterday and we got today off to.. I dunno, go shopping at 3 a.m. or something. So anyway, as a result, the League says "Those people coming home with their $8 52-inch plasma TVs probably really want to watch hockey for the rest of the day."
Unfortunately for you Canadians, our boys got caught in the middle of it. The Bruins and Hurricanes played at noon here in Boston, there are a couple games at 1 p.m., including the Flames’, there’s a 2 o’clock tilt, one at 4, one at 5, then a couple at normal Friday hockey times.
Not that this probably matters to you. It doesn’t really make sense to play this game in particular at 1 p.m., or 11 a.m. Calgary time. Canadians don’t have the day off, and they sure as hell don’t want to watch THIS team on a semi-legal feed two hours after they get into the office. Senators fans don’t have it much better: they’re on at 1 against the Penguins. So know you’re not alone.
The good news for you is that you’re probably not going to have to watch this garbage. I am. I’m gonna watch every dreadful second of a game, as the best team in the league right now, statistically, carves up the Flames’ defense like so much Thanksgiving turkey. At least Staios and Mikkelson aren’t paired together for this one (they’re with Giordano and Babchuk, respectively, though I’m not sure how much of an improvement that bottom pairing is). More good news: Craig Conroy’s back in the lineup.
Of course, Olli Jokinen remains on the top line, so we still don’t have much to be thankful for.
Staois…. huh? I’ll take it.
That’s why Sutter sat Sarich over Staios right?
sarich had been pretty bad last couple of games, don’t understand giving 27 top four minutes though.
i kind of like 33 still.
Could Sarich be on the move?
He should have been awhile ago. NMC makes it tough.
christopher pronger? thats a new one.
Loubo loves to include a guys whole first name for some reason.
OT… Again.
Hopefully they can pull out the two points in this one.
Have been listening to the game mainly, But has Backlund played with Iginla the whole game? And Jokinen be kept as far away as possible?
On a side not, NYI get there first win in November ending November with a record of 1-7-3. Ending a 14 game roadtrip… Unreal. I could barely handle a 9 game losing streak.
Not too bad thus far. Let’s keep it going. Please, don’t take (give) another lame boarding call.
Holy disaster …!!
oh wow, another penalty in OT, Again? Come on now!
OHHHHH f&ck . Brutal
thank you, Lord
And the hockey Gods smiling on Calgary this afternoon? There we go, Feeling some love.
That’s freakin right. Pronger…dumb ass.
3vs3 ?
Yup. Pronger is a douchebag.
profane email coming from Colie Campbell in 3…2…1…
Holy shit.
Holy crap.
Quite the save by Kipper to preserve the tie.
think he said something in finish to timonen after that save? : )
If he did it had 16 ‘i’s and no ‘u’s
Well, the Flames probably deserved that one after all the games that have gone the other way recently.
Nice win.
YES!
WOOOOt! Finally!
I guess Staios has a 100 percent efficiency rating for goals/wins?!
When Staios scores the flames win! Oh man, Hopefully he scores every game!
Glad the flames didnt throw away that gift wrapped game, I will take it.
Well, now they’re feeling good about themselves, watch them get hammered tomorrow and then drop a close one against Minnesota.
:shrug: I bitch and moan after losses so I’m not going to worry about tomorrow (for a change).
