Tonight's game should be a hell of a battle. The best team in the NHL (mostly due to the weak-ass division they play in) is coming into our barn tonight, and I have a feeling they might get knocked down a couple of pegs. The Flames are on a bit of a roll right now and they're playing their best hockey of the year, despite the fact that they have 6 regulars out of the lineup with injuries. Detroit pretty much has the Conference locked up at this point and they don't really have anything to play for down the stretch, while the Flames are a very hungry bunch still fighting for the division title. This is gonna be fun!

What's the word on Jamie Lundmark? As a Ranger fan (Lundmark of course used to be our top prospect and the future of this franchise) it was great to see Lundmark finally displaying some of his potential, so i was very disappointed when he was injured the other night.
It should be a great game between the Wings/Flames. As i said my uncle was in Calgary this past week & just got back today. He was at the past two home games against LA & Colorado and it was the first time he ever saw Dion Phaneuf play in person, and he was amazed by the kid - nothing but high praise.

The Canucks game tonight just got even bigger, with both San Jose and Edmonton already picking up 2 points tonight, and Colorado and Calgary appear both to be heading to overtime which would mean at least 1 point each for them.

F**k I hate shootouts. It was a great game tonight, and both teams played extremely hard. I had a good feeling the Flames were gonna pull it out in OT, especially after killing off that penalty, but we just didn't get the breaks tonight. We didn't play physical enough, and that's why we lost. Well, that and the fact that we totally suck in shootouts. Oh well, at least we got a point out of it and we're still in first place. If these two teams meet in the playoffs again this year, I expect it'll be a long series. Thank god they don't have shootouts in the playoffs.
GO FLAMES!!!

The sabres own the leafs...they always have. One blowout means nothing. We came right back to the ACC and beat em last night. What a team you got there!!
By the way, talk all you want about the sabres not being in the playoffs the last 3 years. The leafs havent even participated in the Stanley Cup finals since 1967. Thats pathetic. Their one good chance came against the Sabres and all we all know how that turned out with the Sabres dismantling the leafs in 5 games ...on your home ice. By the way even Rob Ray scored a game winning goal in that series. Maybe a few of you leaf fans will like to take a roadtrip down the QEW to catch some playoff hockey this year.

haha...
and btw, Ribeiro's dive in the 2002 playoffs was magnificent, an Oscar caliber performance...nobody in the league can dive like he can :lol:
BUT
that's honestly the only time i've seen him dive, and there should've been a penalty called right before he dove anyway , and there wasn't, so he evened the score a little...i thought it was hilarious when he got up and called the guy on!
IMO diving is pretty bad and shameful, BUT, trying to purposely injure someone *cough* Kyle McClaren *cough* IS FAR WORSE.
