I am still in shock. Calgary beat Vancouver. wtf wtf wtf wtf

I am sure some ‘Nuck fans will be pissed but come on man, where the fuck is the puck if it’s not in the net? The refs pulled the puck from the top left pad, and this pic clearly shows that pad over the line. Robbie stopped it, but he slid. In sliding, he took the puck across the line.

Boom. Done. GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

The Nucks are top of the west division, Calgary on the other hand sucks donkey nards so you’ll have to forgive me if I gloat on something that rarely happens. Last night they beat Dallas, one of the other top teams, then tonight they take out the Canuckleheads.

It’s the end of times, we’re surely all dead. 2012 is coming…

Great game from what I saw, thanks to Veetle.

damn it… I so should have had that shot. 

MNwild15. Buddy. What happened? We both know you’ve got a great team but Calgary, after a long exhausting ass kicking road trip (getting our asses kicked, not the other way around) home schooled your boys 3-0

Kipper gets another shut out, that’s sweet.

What is even worse… at 6:44pm, I looked at Bryci and said… hey, Flames game is on in 16 minutes! Then I forgot about the fucking game completely.

sigh.

I missed the game.

Ah well, always the rematch.

Jarome Iginla is the captain of the Calgary Flames. He is the face of the Calgary Flames. He is the heart and soul of the Calgary Flames.

option #1

I hate to say this but Jarome Iginla needs to be traded*.

Earlier tonight, in what may be the greatest business card for other teams as to why they could use this power forward, Iggy netted a hat trick against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks, last year’s Stanley Cup winners, were most likely in what is called “looking ahead” mode. They play the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night and Vancouver is a great team, very much like the Hawks. I think Chicago figured the slumping flames would be an easy win, not really taking them serious. Their minds were clearly in Canucks mode.

Calgary on the other hand, sucks. Last season they were terrible, and this season, as if it were possible, are on track to be worse than last year. With the salary cap looming and Calgary having a league leading 11 players with no trade clauses (wtf?) under contract… they need to do something. They are tight against the cap as it is, they can’t hire new firepower. Next July when free agency hits they’ll have fun keeping who they do have.

Now is the time.

Now is the time to trade the captain. I love Iggy, he’s the best thing to happen to the Flames since Lanny McDonald. Sorry Theoren Fluery, you were amazing but your temper and drunken tirades, not to mention you crashing your viper sort of left a rough taste in my mouth… hell of a spirit but not much of a roll model for kids, ya know?

Trading Jarome would bring several players to the organization that Calgary desperately needs to rebuild. Look at the Blackhawks as a prime example, or the Washington Capitals for that matter, or the Pittsburgh Penguins even. All these teams went through many years of suck, and then they were so bad they were able to get next years #1 draft pick, and start rebuilding.

I don’t want to see Iggy go, he’s got charisma, style, he is a role model for youth in a time it’s sorely needed. He could be the face of the NHL in so many ways, yet he’s surrounded by half assed players on the top line that aren’t good enough to break into the third line if they were playing for most other NHL teams. Good work there Sutter. (sarcasm)

Jarome Iginla is the face of all that is right and true in hockey. Almost every team would die to have him. Los Angeles has the cap space and a slew of young talent to work with trade wise. Jarome has a no trade clause, would he lift it to go to LA? Who knows… I think he would. Iggy deserves to be on a contender for the cup. Sadly that perhaps isn’t the LA Kings anytime soon, but LA has a better shot than Calgary does.

Sorry Flames Fans, but something has to be done.

option #2

Fire the Daryl Sutter and let Jay Feaster take over finally. Brent Sutter, you’re on probation, step it the fuck up bucko.

* unless option #2 is put into motion.

Miikka Kiprusoff earned his second shut out of the season as the Calgary Flames went fishing for shark and hung them out to dry 4 times! The Flames beat the Sharks, one of the top NHL teams for the past five years straight, 4-0 in the Dome.

Man I cannot wait to play the Minnesota Cheesers. (hi SF)
