  • Back to back road overtime games for the Flames...back to back wins.

    I'm a bit concerned over the lack of scoring, but I'm pleased with the goaltending.

    • The Canucks are scouting Forsberg...do we really need to have one of these every season?

        nooooooooooooooooooo--- Seriously-- IF they have the cap space why don't they trade for someone thats actually playing instead of signed a retired ex-superstar

          I missed this game entirely as we went out for a fancy dinner BUT the post-game radio reports were very positive-- I like that Kipper had a great game on the heels of a Mcbackup great game

          Now if that vaunted defence could start shutting dowm opposing teams on a regular basis this team could be in business

            Because that would involve giving up a player, prospect or draft pick?

            Which isn't to say that I necessarily think it's a good idea, just that it's easier to insert someone that isn't currently signed.

              Well obviously-- I just don't understand their seeming obsession with past their prime, retired Swedish former superstars

              • Flames?--Another solid win again on the back of Mikka playing great. I love to see Kipper playing well but am troubled by her fact that again the Flames gave up too many shots and chances


                In other news the Leafs crush Detroit, word has it they are planning the Cup parade--- Seriously though I expected the Leafs to be better than their start indicated. They should be just good enough to tease their fans with playoff possibilities but unless their goalie plays like a superman, I don't see the playoffs actually in their future this year

                • Facts for Ben

                  Both of Calgary's goalies -- including the backup that Ben made fun of pointedly a bit last year -- have better numbers than Luongo.

                  Kipper: .912 svp
                  Macklebackup: .913 svp
                  Roberto 7-goals Luongo: .902 svp

                  • In other other news, Ovechkin is on the IR now-- hmm I have Ovechkin and Hossa on the IR together in auction. Has there ever been a more talented pair on the IR together?

                    • Luongo is finally on the IR as well, which lets me pick up another goaltender. What a joke.

                      I picked up THE MONSTER. I've given up on the "W" category.

                      • Speaking of goalies, the Cam Ward injury made it easy to do what I should have done earlier and drop him-- I fully expect he will come back with decent sv% later this year but in a "shallow" league like our auction one, its usually pretty easy to find someone else that is performing pretty well

                        • Glencross got a 3-game suspension for the hit on Drury last game.

                            No shock-- Some replays indicate the puck was pretty far away. At first I though it was just a normal hockey play of hitting a guy while the puck was coming with an unfortunate result.

                            Afetr watching the replays though I can understand the suspension. The NHL is trying to walk the fine line in having a hitting game but wanting to deter these blindsides

                            • The play looked completely identical to one not too long ago on Booth. No suspension there.

                              Just depends if the guy doing the hit is a star or not.

                                In one yahoo league (with only one IR spot allowed) I have

                                Ilya Kovalchuk
                                Roberto Luongo
                                She Weber

                                none of whom I want to lose-- As it stands Kovalchuk is on the IR while Luongo and Weber just sit.

                                I actually have another guy just go to IR but since he is just a goon ( the league uses PIM) he should be easy to replace

                                The Monster is a decent pickup-- The leafs can be good for a win or two on any given week and his sv % is pretty good IIRC
