darrinhurst Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Go higher. Try Channel 313 or 312. This link should let you know when the games are in HD. http://www2.sportsnet.ca/HD/Flames/ Doesn't look like tonight's game is in HD. Thursday's game is though. Quote
snakeman Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 No? He's having a heck of a lot better season that Erik Cole so far. Well too bad Kevin Lowe doesn't own a crystal ball Cole has been a beast since being played in his natural position. He fits the Oilers style better than Bertuzzi. Bert's been great for the flames though, if he stays healthy for most of the season and keeps up this pace he'll get 30+ for sure. I hope that doesn't happen though Quote
rehsifylf Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 That's the Kipper we've come to love. No way he should have started today. The Jovo goal was about as weak an NHL goal as I've seen all year. 4 goals on the first 12 shots. I take back what I said about Crawford being a worse colour guy than Garrett. I'm sure Garrett must be on Kipper's PR payroll. He actually had the nerve to say Phoenix deserved the win and that Calgary played poorly on defense. They gave up 20 shots in the game - likely the lowest of any team that will play all week. Goalies stick togther. If it isn't Hrudey its Garrett - fall all over themselves taking about how the goalie can make a difference in a win, but when a goalie gives up 4 goals on 12 shots, it's bad defense. I'll tell ya what Mike thinks - no way Kipper starts the next game. Quote
snakeman Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Is Loubardias always the commentator for flames games on sportsnet? I can't say I'm a big fan... Quote
darrinhurst Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Is Loubardias always the commentator for flames games on sportsnet? I can't say I'm a big fan... Loubardias usually did the Junior coverage last couple years. The AHL, OHL, CHL games. He also covered a bit for Kevin Quinn on a few Oilers broadcasts last year. Millions did the play by play for the Flames the last few years. This is Loubardias' first year as the full time play by play guy for the Flames. Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 we better see one hungry deparate team tonight. Points are easier to get this time of year than they are in April. Why does it seem the Flames are content to play lazy some games. Do we want to finish in the 7-8 seed and get stomped again in the first round? Quote
Suntoucher Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Do we want to finish in the 7-8 seed and get stomped again in the first round? Most likely if you look at the Flames franchise record. Quote
esleech Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Bert's been great for the flames though, if he stays healthy for most of the season and keeps up this pace he'll get 30+ for sure. I hope that doesn't happen An unbiased, honest comment from an oilers fan? I was beginning to think the oils next mascot was an ostrich. You're clearly slipping snakeman...come to the dark side. Tootoo still play with the preds? If so I hope he gets mauled by someone tonight. GO FLAMES GO! Quote
rehsifylf Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 So lets here from all the oiler fans about how the NHL doesn't do what they can to keep the games close. 5-0 and they call that crap. Hope they make these refs watch the game after. Quote
rusty Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Yeah man complete BS...but what can you do? They pulled out the win anyway. The NHL should change the rule about kicked pucks. As long as the blade is on the ice it should count. Quote
Tungsten Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 What a crazy game tonight 13 goals ,defence broke down in the second half .Mike was sure shaking his head after the game . Quote
esleech Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 What a game!? Not sure what to think about that....POND HOCKEY! GO FLAMES GO Quote
birchy Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Should've been more like 10-6 for Calgary from the parts that I was able to watch. Quote

Hope they make these refs watch the game after. I'm assuming that you're talking about the net coming off it's mooring and Kipper getting called for the delay of game? Yeah, that was a BS call, but I hightly doubt it was an order from the commissioner to keep the game close. It was a hell of an entertaining game though! Lot's of back and forth action from both sides. birchy's right, it could have easily been 10-6. A night of crazy games back to back. First Edmonton tries to come back from being down 5-0 vs. the Pens to come up short 5-4 in the third, then you have a HUGE blow out going only to end up 7-6. Crazy night of hockey! Quote

You're clearly slipping snakeman...come to the dark side. Ha, I remember during the flames cup run I made a post on FFA about how I like the way the flames play and want to cheer for both Alberta's teams...I was immediately shot down with replies about how stupid that would be, how I'm a bandwagon jumper, etc. So that idea died quick but I think Hawgstoppah is pulling it off. As much as I despise Bertuzzi as a person he is really fun to watch, he makes some crazy passes and that one goal he scored on Deslauriers was sick. Quote

LOL, I think I remember that. Good decision, we clearly have no room or need for you anyways. Quote
rehsifylf Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 LOL, I think I remember that. Good decision, we clearly have no room or need for you anyways. UGLY. By far the worst performance by the flames this year. God awful. Too bad thats what they give Curtis. Score 7 the otehr night to bail Kipper out of yet another miserable performance, and tonight - nothinig. Primeau may be the worst scrapper I've ever seen. Didn't he go out with a concussion last year from getting smacked. And didn't his brother's career end early for the same reason. What a moron. Quote
maxwell Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 yea that game was tough too watch.. what was up with bourque hooking up that comulbo dude with that killer pass in teh slot....... guess they are conserving the energy and brainpower for tommorow.... Quote
snakeman Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 LOL, I think I remember that. Good decision, we clearly have no room or need for you anyways. I'll remember these words a few years from now when Flamers are scrambling to jump off the bandwagon and looking to cheer for Alberta's real team Quote
maxwell Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 lmao when the oilers are in or on teh way too the cup finals i will cheer for any otehr team except them.. i promise..... got in a argument with alotta flames fans who wanted the cup too be back in canada.. and hell iwould love too see any cup team except edmonton win teh cup...... falmes first ofcorse them teh rest of teh canadian teams then the 20 some odd yankee team and oilers are dead last in my books.......

rehsifylf Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Yup - I agree. Anyone but Edmonton. Maybe we could trade them Bert for their rookie goalie though. 6 more past our superstar tonight. Deslauriers made 37/38 saves tonight. Kipper let in 3 goals on the first 12 shots. At least Chicago realized they made a huge mistake on on Khabibulin and moved on. I expect Calgary will have to miss the playoffs before Sutter will admit that Kipper is not an elite goalie, and find someone else. Quote
snakeman Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Yup - I agree. Anyone but Edmonton. Maybe we could trade them Bert for their rookie goalie though. Dream on, Deslauriers will be a star for years after Bertuzzi's retired. .951 save percentage, 1.64 gaa - Kipper should pay this kid for lessons Quote
