So close...What's really needed with this team?
Posted January 28, 2010
Slump Busters.....not quite. The big guns for Calgary: Phaneuf, Iginla and Jokinen all scored while others like Lundmark chipped in with a nice assist. It was not enough. Once again, some unlucky bounces did the Flames in. Not making excuses here at all, but when two unlucky goals go in after being up 3-1, for a fragile team like they are now, it's hard to recover. That doesn't make the Bourque pe... Read More »

Add that to two assists, a plethora a... Read More »
Flames Gameday: Vancouver
Posted October 16, 2009

Brent Sutter has been surprisingly calm and collected over the past week and is preaching patience with the new system. If this pace continues, however, you would expect him to start... Read More »
Same Old Story?
Posted October 13, 2009
While maybe not as dramatic as last night, this hockey game was basically the same story. Came out hard and physical and got the all to familiar lead in the first period, only to slowly back off and allow the Jackets back into the hockey game. Missed passes, giveaways, lazy defensive zone play, and penalties spelled the end. Kipper stood on his head again, but the guy needed some support. Langkow... Read More »
