Hawgstoppah

right on.

Do they ever look bad tonight. Hard to watch this. Detroit is out hustling them... that's all this is. It's an effort level thing... that and the fact that Calgary looks like a pee wee team passing practice. Coaching. Period. Fire Sutter. Period. Get someone in here that can get these guys to put 110% into the game every night and they will be fine. I'll be shocked if they actually come out in the 3rd and win this. I'll call it now. 4-1 wings.

It's called being a compassionate hockey fan. I wish the guys on the ice cared as much as some of us die hard flamers do. :$*%&:

I do hope it's an isolated system... however, Let's not degrade the work done here by having a brookie vs. native trout debate on this thread, perhaps? These guys worked hard on this and at least deserve some recognition. I for one, thank them. Brian

I can certainly see this side of the fence as well. I realize that we were up 2-1 but honestly... I don't think we deserved a 2-1 lead at that point either. The first goal was a fluke bouncer of three things including Jokinen's leg, and the second goal deflected off a stick on a play were glenchross should have passed the damn puck and that shot (if not deflected) would have been the average save made in every game. Face it, the flames were badly outplayed, outclassed, and outworked. Even before that 5 on 3. But that's just the way I saw it... and everyone's going to see the same thing from their point of view. Trust me becuase I often come out of watching a game absolutely heated at the reffing... but this one I just didn't see it. The flames had more PP chances than the caps did but what did we do with them? There was only ONE bad, bad call in this game and that was Iggy's interference call... which was complete BS What Iggy needs is some talented linemates who can get him the puck more often in a scoring position. It's not a fluke that he did very well in the Olympics. He DOES need to put more effort into the game though, he look half asleep lately. Someone fight him!

Don't blame the refs too much when the top line doesn't show up for the game for the Flames. I'd like to blame the refs for this one but dude ... SEVEN TO TWO!!!!!!! c'mon who are you kidding? I can see the refs screwing over a 3-2 loss for the flames they do it on a nightly basis... but not a 7-2 loss. This was a product of being outplayed and outclassed in every way. Iginla needs to freekin SHOW UP FOR A GAME!... when do they play next?

this was taken by a spectator on the 2nd or 3rd jump.

I agree it was a brutal call, but it was already 5-2 at that point. That would have only made it 5-3. The flames PP was brutal all night, and they were completely outclassed by a far better team who moves the puck creatively.

another thing I would add to this Jeff, is don't try and plan a big trip... just hit a favorite spot of the Bow or whatever river your closest to (I assume your in Calgary but I could be wrong). When I hurt my back I was in about the same situation as you... I would really want to go fishing but I'd be lucky if I lasted 10 minutes. But I was thankful for those 10 minutes when I did go, especially if I was rewarded with a nice trout. I also found that taking 2 Motrin just before fishing helped me a lot (and still does) cheers

I wonder if that stuff would help my lower back.... might have to give it a try.

LOL. I'd hate to be a tree on the bank behind you on your very next outing becuase Murphy's law says........

I see colin already mentioned a spey. Further to that, maybe find a light spey like a 5wt 11 foot or so switch rod. You could spey cast to nymph runs with your bad hand... but honestly if your having trouble picking up coffee right now you may have line control issues even with your good hand. One good thing, these colder days tend to numb the pain

Those fish are just redonkulous..... if I ever have to move to Calgary again I'll be looking at sundance for sure.

Karlsson had a really rough night tonight. Might have been a bad night to play him... we NEED to beat the Avs.. and he let in at least 4 that Kipper probably would have stopped. Where was the D either. Brutal game by the flames. The 5 goals they scored... I almost wished they had been shut out. They were that bad... they need an a$$ kicking in the dressing room tonight, not a pat on the back for getting 5. Being outshot 36-19 or close to it, not good!!!!

I respectfully have to disagree. When these guys are motivated and determined they are VERY good. When they play lazy they are not. Motivation and hard work are things that come from the coach, not the GM I am going to sit on the fence this season and hope. Analysing the flames to death only frustrates me now. I hope they can play some exciting hockey and get some wins... like the last 3 games. Bring on Colorado! I hear Kipper is getting a rest tonight... I forget the backups name right now but he's good... at least he played very well in the pre-season and vs. Colombus in that 6-2 win.

If you fish bullshead in June you'll want as much backing as you can possibly fit. In June of 2005 in one day I had at least a dozen fish go way, waaaaay, into my backing. Russ can back me up on that. It was amazing how hard those babies were pulling that day. He compared it to fishing for trips' in BC's finest lakes. Having seen that... and it sorta came out of the blue becuase before that I'd rarely had fish go into the backing... I'd suggest making sure you have a minimum of 50 yards. I commonly go with over 100 now.

Speaking their minds in a constructive manner would be welcomed. There's nothing wrong with that. Singling out people and repeatedly taking shots in every thread is ridiculous. Find me 5 constructive posts between the two of them and I'll leave it alone.

so true, so true. just when you think you got a river figured out, the humbling experience will teach you better!!

Haven't said a thing about them other than in defense of one statement I made about the one day I spent on a certain drainage this year. There dragging it out into every thread they can get it started (including this one). Enough already. If they put that much effort into doing something for the resource maybe they'd get somewhere? I don't see their names on the donor lists for multiple organizations which help our streams out. Actions speak louder than words. People who know me know who I am and what I stand for and if a couple people on an internet board are going to continue to publicly attempt defamation of my character I will be looking into legal possibilities. The simple fact that you and others are started to see me in a different light is a direct result of their endless barrage. The fact. I guided about 15 days this year. I only fished myself about 15 days. I donated 7 days on the water to charities. Abusing the resource? Hardly. In it for the money? Hardly. Makes me wonder what the agendas are on here. Now, moving along... if we can have a thread anymore without people being abusive....

Sweet. Most RCMP still have shepards... I've been trying to look at pictures of that breed for a bit now. Malamute?? that's my best guess... My dad was a dog handler in the force...

I've fished with people that say they have fished for twenty years, and can't cast a good line. They admit to fishing once or twice a year. I've fished with someone who is just 3 months into fly fishing but has been out 30 times. It's all about time on the water. Years has nothing to do with it. People that come on internet BB to attempt to derail good conversations every chance they get (giovanne and egocop) should be banned. Your only intent in any posts you have made is the intent to make derogatory remarks towards people. Keep doing so you two. Your IP's are logged on here. Civil law will take care of you guys eventually. There's a lot of lawyers who make big bucks out there just on people like you guys.

One word. WHEW!!!!

Holy heck, are both #2 and 3 from the crow? Those are some bombs for the crow. Not as impressive as that 23" brown u pulled out your... ehhem... this spring, but darn close!

Holy crap those are some badazz perch man!!!! Nice shots, that second one releasin' that hawg rainbow is awesome.

That totally sucks. Hopefully it was just someone going for a ride and dumping the car somewhere and hopefully everything is intact. Give everyone on here a bit more info: What school. What possible time of day it was stolen.
