Iggy is a slow started, historically. As is Kipper.

And those two are a big part of the Flames overall slow start the last few years-- BUt just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean that we just have to dumbly accept sub-par play again

Last night I saw Kennan give Iggy lots and lots of ice time to try to get going-- and there wasn't much of a spark from Iggy in response. I don't know that Keenan will give Iggy 23 minutes a game for long in that situation--

Two goals each from Briere and Lecavalier were nice. and I'm just happy to be splitting the goalie stats so far based mainly on the play of an undrafted goalie

Its just tonight, if Nabokov plays, its against Luongo--that on the back of consecutive road games . . . I still hope for the San Jose win
but its not easy


Goalie wins are likely to be in doubt until San Jose at Colorado on Sunday -- could be fun to go head to head for the category

In games where your two goalies play each other, all I can do is hope for a high scoring tie

That's the danger with Keenan though, isn't it? A slow start can lead to down in flames as the coach thinks he has to beat star players into shape and they don't react well to it.

I'm not sure why people think Keenan is any more of a hardass than Sutter was.

I'm not overly concerned with Keenan drilling hard work ethic into players. This isn't some prissy team with Hemskys and Stolls and Naslunds and Sedins, this is a Sutter team.

[Asher]

Was anyone else surprised with Hemsky's "A"?

I wasn't aware the guy had any leadership abilities. He seems to be a floater on the ice.

Thats why my two main goalie teams are in different conferences-- I wanted to avoid those high scoring ties

[Asher]

BTW Snoopy...there are no ties.

Both goalies can record shutouts with 100% svp, but there's still only 1 winner and 1 loser.

[snoopy369]

Oh, right, that stupid shootout thing.

Well, I guess I can hope it's a high scoring game and one or both goalies gets pulled

I appreciate the sentiment although this week, the "stupid shootut thing" has helped you twice
