Calgary, AB • Canada • 55 Years Old • Male
The most boring snooze-fest happened this evening in the Pengrowth Saddledome. The game showed very little offense in the first two periods; I think I saw Kipper fall asleep in net a couple of times. The Canucks had two anemic power plays in the first period. The Calgary Flames had a horrible attempt themselves on the powerplay. The only saving grace this game had was that it was the first game for the Canuck's rookie goalie Cory Schneider's as a Canuck goalie. In fact, I would say the highlight of the first period was Henry Burris calling Calgary the sporting capital of Canada. No score in this snorefest 0-0.

The second period was not much better. It began to make me feel like I hope these two teams do not match in the play-offs. Except Schneider was beginning to emerge as an quality NHL goalie. Schneider made quite a few great saves. The Flames do score a power play goal, a great goal by Langkow, to make it 1-0. The Canucks have only taken 10 shots, making this the easiest game for Kipper this season. Schneider's first start is a success so far.

During the third period, the Canucks almost woke up, firing 8 shots in the third period. The problem is they made two major blunders, allowing two 2-on-1's, on which the Flames capitalized. David Moss scores a huge go-ahead goal on a great set-up by Glencross. Moss shoots through the five hole on Schneider's, the only shot Cory could have had. The Canucks score a nice goal on a terrific pass by Hansen to Wellwood, to cut the lead to 2-1. The Flames close out as Iggy makes a terrific pass to Lombo to freeze Schneider, and Lombo scoring an easy empty net goal.

It's funny I said the same thing in response to vetters blog, the first game was really exciting and this was super boring and i attribute that to Vancouvers defence first road style which will win them some games. They were in this one for a long time and didn't really deserve to be! Hey, regardless of the tempo it's a win. I would diagree with anyone who thinks it's revenge for the opening day though, until we blow out Luongo 6-0 it'll irritate fans!

Not only was the game slow, but the dome was about as quiet as I can remember for a HNIC game!
