Just once would ne nice if Keenan let Curtis start the first half of a back to back. That first period was criminal to the young guy. Could be 5 nothing if he didn't play great. Funny how Olli and Leopold were tyhe heroes yesterday and the zeros today. Jokinen takes a brutal penalty that leads to the first goal and Leopold back to his old 'sloppy play in his own zone'-self on the third. Play the man. What is Keenan thinking putting Phaneuf and Leopold together?

What role do you think they have Curtis for? He's a back-up goile, so when Kipper needs a rest he comes in plain and simple.

 

As for putting Leopald and Pheneuf togather, how do you know how they will play togather unless you put the two togather to see, Not everyone is as smart as you rehsify

Couldn't agree more. Leopold should be a better player to know that looking at your feet for the puck is a big no no as a d. Not sure why they put Dion for both power play lines too, its not like he's getting anything done out there. My hope is that Keenan starts Curt on Sunday. I'm sure they will put forward a better game and they need to boost his confidence if Kipper goes down.

Kipper and Brodeur are the only two in the league that play as many games as they do. They're never going to develop their young goalies if they keep that up.

 

They need to play Curtis more.. plain and simple.

Do you even like this team, seems every response you make, no matter what they did, is that they're terrible and not knowing what they're doing..

 

do you forget that they're first in the NW, by a large margin?

 

stop bitching already

Birchy,

 

Don't get me wrong I like curtis and have gone fishin with him a couple of times, but his role on Calgary this year is to be a back-up to kipper, plain and simple nothing more nothing less, you think he is going to see any playoff time, highly doubtful.

 

As for developement then I think he should go back down to the minors cause that is what the minors are for, developing players, if you play with the pro's then you should be a pro and not a player that needs development.

 

I think Curtis can hang with the big guys and have proven it many times, but alot of people on here forget that he is just the back-up goile right now.

Easy fella. My point was that most coaches will play a stay at home/good around his own net D-man with a more offensive guy. In this case, Phaneuf and Leopold are the most offensive of the blueliners and its a toss up who is worse around their own net (my opinion Dion is better than Jordan in his own end but many would disagree with me).

 

I think its no use having a back-up that you can't depend on if needed. Sutter refused to get a proven back-up at the deadline, so if anything happens to Kipper - then Curtis is it. His confidence can't be high now, and my suggestion is to put him in for a game where the players are fresh and he has a better chance of winning. that hasn't happened this year. Would be nice to have a goalie that the coach could put in before a game gets out of hand also, such as a game where the starter lets in 2 of the first 3 shots, or 4 goals on 14 shots - but we don't have that.

 

This is the Flames thread and everyone is free to post. If you disagree with my points - no worries, post a counter, no personal shots required. I don't subscribe to the mantra that a true fan can only cheerlead when things are great. Losing to Carolina and Atlanta could very easily come back to haunt this team - 4 points they should have had.

 

BTW - anyone listen to the game on 960 today. Who was the drunk guy that had a "few Molsons"- I missed the last name.

uh oh ... like the flames of old ... losing games to teams way down in the standings. not a good thing at all. and yes i hate to admit highlander the canucks are definitely in the rear view mirror now.

 

not to mention the two toughest games of the road trip ahead. ah well brodeur is due for a come down after his rather stellar return....isn't he?

 

the worst would be a loss to the leafs on saturday. that would hurt.

 

go flames go.
