matter2003 Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Calgary has not won a game in regulation when the opposition has scored more than 1 goal in 31 games. They have won twice during this span in a shootout when the opposing team has scored 2 goals. This has to be closing in on some kind of record... imagine being a Flames fan and knowing once the other team scores the second goal, the game is over...
mphs mike Posted January 23, 2010 Report Posted January 23, 2010 Reminds me of the Hasek led Swordsmen that couldn't score!
FogBat Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 Reminds me of the Hasek led Swordsmen that couldn't score! That's a harsh and ugly reminder. I hope we NEVER wind up in that predicament again...
VansTheMans Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 The Flames are a mess, and it makes no sense whatsoever. On paper, they're legit. 2 All-Star dmen in Bouwmeester and Phaneuf (not to mention shut down D man Regheir), a Vezina worthy goalie in Kip and an elite 50 goal scoring captain in Jarome Iginla. Why does this team suck so bad again? There's some serious inner disputes going on in the locker room. That's the only explanation. The team needs a massive shake up. Wouldn't mind prying Phaneuf off their hands :thumbsup:

Wouldn't mind prying Phaneuf off their hands :thumbsup: I can only imagine that if he's close to being a UFA (where's the link?), he's going to become a hot commodity come trade deadline time (and that no one pays attention to what Eklund says).

A great site anti-Eklund website... really good stuff here. http://hockeybuzzhogwash.com/
FogBat Posted January 25, 2010 Report Posted January 25, 2010 A great site anti-Eklund website... really good stuff here. http://hockeybuzzhogwash.com/ Sorry. I should have been more specific. IIRC, there's supposed to be a website that breaks down who's an RFA and a UFA. OTOT, I'll have to check out your website link. Should be interesting, given how there are a lot of people out there who can't stand Eklund. EDIT: I'm taking that link and putting it on my signature. Thanks for the link, Vanek Nation. I hope everyone takes a look at that website because Eklund makes me cringe with his constant mendacity - and people are so gullible to listen to this "Internet tabloid writer"!
matter2003 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Posted January 28, 2010 Calgary still going strong keeping their streak intact!
will Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 is this the link you were looking for? phanny is locked in thru 2013/14, as is bouwy. anyone know how to find faceoff stats? conroy is super cheap and UFA after the season.
BetweenThePipes00 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 I don't really see how the Sabres and Flames match up in terms of a deal ... they are looking for the long-needed top center to feed Iginla ... do the Sabres have that guy? Even if you answer yes, which I do not think I would, can the Sabres really give up Connolly or Roy? I just do not see it.
nfreeman Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 Phaneuf is the Komisarek of the WC -- a big hitter who's just OK defensively, mediocre offensively and accordingly overrated and overpaid. He doesn't play against the opponents' top lines (Bouwmeester, who is having a disappointing year offensively but is very solid defensively, does). He's locked in at $6.5MM per year for the next 4 years. There is NFW the Sabres would go after him, nor should we want them to.
That Aud Smell Posted January 29, 2010 Report Posted January 29, 2010 phanny ...bouwy :unsure: that unsure face gave me such a chuckle. also: should it be phan-zee and bouw-zee?
matter2003 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Posted January 30, 2010 34 games and counting...November 21st was the last time they won a game in regulation where the other team scored more than 1 goal(5-2 against the Kings). What does the coach say in the locker room after more than 2 months? Do people leave the arena immediately following the opposition's 2nd goal knowing the team has already lost the game? Unbelievable...
Calvin Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 also: should it be phan-zee and bouw-zee? not unless they are inducted into the SGM Club by Roysie
