Just because they are crooks doesn't mean they don't enjoy a good game.

star of the game from this Calgarian's perspective? Curtis Joseph. no end of respect for that man and his effort tonight - a class player from an absolutely CLASS team
simply - Wow.
From my home on the west edge of the city ( around 85th st.) the noise from the celebration was incredible. The city has gone insane with Flames fever. Even on non-game days there are cars with flags honking like crazy. A few days ago I saw a bicyclist on a major street-- who having to stop, dismounted and waved a flag for the entire time until the light changed and he went on again.
Little car flags have become a hot commodity. I believe they have been sold out her a number of times and the stores that get them, keep raising their prices but sell out anyway.
Joseph and Detroit--- lets just say that goaltending in no way lost the series for Detroit. If you give up 1 goal a game, you hope and even expect to win.
I have to give Calgary a lot of credit. Even though I am a fan and live in Calgary, I expected Detroit to dominate them such that the goaltending edge alone would be insufficient for Calgary to take the series. Although I saw that domination in parts of some games, Calgary actually competed very well as a team in most games. Last night, both scoring chances and shots were pretty even for instance.

^ I just saw a Flames car flag here in Halifax
. Since the Habs are out ( 
), I can root for them with a clear conscience and not hold my 1989 grudge against them (damn Mike Vernon 
).
I'm 1/2 this round. When the Leafs lose I'll be 2/3.

What's interesting is that the Flames flags are of noticably higher quality than the Maple Leafs flags."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Heartfelt congratulations to Flame fans everywhere, and especially in Calgary and those relocated to Markham/Toronto.
Well deserved win.
Guynemer - condolences on the Ded Things.
Toronto will win tonight, but it really doesn't look like they can beat Philly in Philly...
Anyway, Sutter, Iginla, Gelinas, Kippy and all the lunchpail Flames deserve all the respect and recognition they can get, especially from the CBC who have been disgraceful, IMO.
Hopefully, for Calgary, SJ & Colorado get 2 more games, each with double OT, while the Flames can go to pilot-light...Best MMORPG on the net: www.cyberdunk.com?ref=310845

Doesn't look too good for Leafs right now.. after first period they are down to 0-2 against the Flyers..
They came on kind of strong at the beginning, but it didn't last for the whole period plus their defense seemed to be very passive and gave up many rebounds and Belfour is not exactly on fire tonight and making those huge saves right now that are needed. Defense better step up or they'll be out.In da butt.

I'm watching the game with a bunch of Leafs fan, and even they concede the season is over. Even if they win this round, they'll be out of gas for the conference finals.
And hey, how about Cherry praising Calgary?
