Ya im not worried about us if we go up 3-1, we would be even more hungry for the win and play more confident.
Man i was never quiet about saturdays game, im a die hard Flames fan and i wont jump ship ever and always back them up through thick and thin!

GO FLAMES GO!

outplayed, r u kidding me, we were way better than the wings tonight, come on!

and dont forget, Steve Yzerman is Canadian (not that place of birth has anything to do with hockey )

It was nice to see Mike Vernon make an appearance

big flames fan here from the toronto forum... been reading the western canada forum just for the flames talk, =)

i've heard rumours of a fleury comeback sometime... but cbc showed him in the stands tonight and my god... he's in no shape to play hockey.... but all that is only secondary... i hope he can get his life back in order first... then think about coming back... i really hope to see him finish in calgary sometime...

*shrug* I was close.

And as I've said from the beginning, either team can win it, and I still feel that way. (Being from Detroit I'm forced to root for the Wings, but I honestly question wether they'll win).

honestly cant believe flames are doin so well... its pretty astounding*(sp), considering that they had'nt proven much since the 88-89 season.

GO FLAMES GO

Calgary had a majority of the play for two out of three periods and that was enough to win. Unless Detroit gets some traffic in front of Kipper, they will not score. It is part of the Flames "D" system to let Detroit control the puck on the perimeter and shoot from the point while the Flames Defense removes the Wings' forwards from the front of the net. It might look like Detroit is dominating the play but passing around the puck on the perimeter is harmless if you have no one crashing the net.

The Flames will only get stronger...they basically played with 3 proven D and still won....Montador and Commodore combined have only played like 40 games for Calgary...and even those games were for restricted minutes.

Detroit needs play with more desperation and I really question if they're capable of doing so. I think Lewis is a horrible coach and couldn't incite a fire at an arsonists' convention. Lest we forget last year's sweep. Heck, even Nashville took them to six.

If Calgary stays out of the penalty box, they will win. Besides, we need the irony of Kiprusoff eliminating the Sharks, the stupid team who traded him for a bag of pucks earlier in the season. Now that'll be sweet revenge. Flames all the way to the Cup.

That is well said, the Flames are a great team defensively.
I also think Lewis is a horrible coach who looks like Hitler!
The wings are to old and the Flames are to solid and hungry to let the wings beat them for the majority of the game.
The Flames are a team that is destined for something special this year, just look how many key guys we've lost. A forward on our top line, our 3 of our best defensemen and were still winning games not to mention the series!
If the Flames can prolong the series or playoffs long enough to get some of those key guys back, then they can only get stronger!

GO FLAMES GO!

first of all the wings have played 2 periods of average hockey throughout this series , traffic in front of the net we are getting ,holmstrem is parked there , shany is crashing the net , the wings are just not putting in there open net ,yes open , oportunities. its funny great teams ,people always have to find something silly to bug them about , it used to be too many russians , then it was payroll now its age , how can you say 30-32 is old , half the league is that age , keep watching the series , remember its a 7 game series , run down nashville all you want but they are similar to calgarys makeup , we wore them down and we will do the same to the flames WATCH AND SEE

Rose-colored glasses can always be misleading....

- If two periods of average hockey leads to two losses. I hope they play two more average periods in the next four games.

- Holmstorm parks in front of the net on the PP....rarely even-strength.

- If Shanny was crashing the net, he would have more than 1 goal to show for his 36 shots.

- They are old compared to the Flames...who cares about the rest of the league

- Nashville doesn't have a Hart and Vezina trophy candidate...that makes a bit of difference don't you think.

- I'm not counting my chickens...but your prediction was Wings in 5 or 6. One of them is already wrong and I highly doubt the Wings will wing three straight considering Calgary has yet to lose back to back games in the playoffs.

- Lastly, I'm glad you're on here. If we didn't have a Wings fan stationed in Vancouver, this thread would be useless.
