I think it was Imran, actually. He had 4 skaters and 2 goalies (Lecavalier, Visnovsky, Souray, Havlat, Brodeur and Huet). KH and boo each had four skaters as well.

The only player in the game that doesn't belong to anyone was Yanic Perreault. Quick! Everyone try to grab him!

Godard just owned Boogaard again.

A type of karma . . . Boogaard mouthed off too much about being a dominant fighter-- this time he had no concussion but he did get a nice shiner

and I was just watching how often Ference got beat badly. THats uncharacteristic for Ference as he is usually reasonably solid. Except for Kipper Ference could have seen 3-4 goals.

Oh and Regehr didn't play (flu) so Hamrlik and Phaneuf each played more than 30 minutes

and once again Kipper showed he is a great goalie but a lousy shootout goalie. Its almost at the point where I think they should pull him for the shootout . THAT would be funny to see.

Last night Kipper was amazing in the game but was scored on 2 of 2 in the shootout

You can't do anymore, was a rule change this season.

Yup. They touched on this in the allstar game. Kipper's strength is the ability to read plays in a game situation. He's unreal 5on5, takes a hit on the PP, and is awful in shootouts.

Man les Habs know how to look lacklustre. Thats a few games lately where they just fundamentally failed to compete hard

Fixed.


The Flames did fine on the PK and the PP worked. While I didn't like the reffing much either, the really good teams still find a way to win that game.

THa Flames almost did it but not quite.

I'm just pleased that they got two points out of those last two brutal efforts

Ever since that game in Edmonton, they've adopted the Oilers gamestyle.

All it took to push the week into my favour was the play of Giguere.

What a lame week, so few GP.

They should've just made this week longer.

With Norrena out injured, Columbus' starter is now...Ty Conklin.

Here's hoping Edmonton starts Markkanen on Wednesday this week.

Markkanen vs Conklin, battle of the ages!

The upside for the Flames these days is that they are still managing to get some offense. With Kipper playing amazing they should get their share of wins.


Regehr being out with the flu has highlighted some surprising fragility on the Flames blueline. Phaneuf and Hamrlik have done well even when playing 30 minutes, but Ference has been mistake prone and Zuyzen has not looked good at all. Girodano seems to play fine but paired with Zuyzen, he has seen his icetime shrink. The last time the Flames went on a bad stretch was when Hamrlik was out so it seems they are vulnerable to injuries to their big three d-men.

With all healthy they should be ok since Zuyzen can go to the bench. But as it stands, I would be dumping Zuyzen if anyone would offer a bowl of belly lint and promote the "other" Regehr

Flames just acquired Craig Conroy for Jamie Lundmark (thank GOD he is gone)

Here's hoping Conroy can kickstart his career again.

Flames acquire Conroy from Kings
Craig Conroy

Craig Conroy is heading back to Calgary.

The Flames acquired Conroy from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Jamie Lundmark and two future draft choices.

Conroy returns to Calgary where he played in four seasons between 2001 and 2004. He was a member of the Flames' Western Conference championship team during the 2003-04 season and captained the club during the 2002-03 campaign. In 237 regular season games with the Flames he recorded 188 points with 60 goals and 128 assists. During the 03-04 playoffs he added another 17 points including 6 goals in 26 games.

A veteran of 12 NHL seasons, Conroy has twice been a finalist for the Frank J. Selke Trophy while accumulating 411 points in 706 career games with Montreal, St. Louis, Calgary and Los Angeles. Conroy signed as a free agent with Los Angeles on July 6, 2004. In 52 games this season he has recorded 5 goals and 11 assists for 16 points.

Originally drafted by the Montreal Canadiens as their sixth round selection (123rd overall) in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, Conroy was traded to St. Louis in 1996. Calgary first acquired the former U.S. Olympian with a seventh round pick from St. Louis on March 13, 2001 in exchange for Cory Stillman.

A native of Potsdam, NY, Conroy has represented the United States at the 2006 Olympics and at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey.
