Yes, I read it was a sprained ankle.

Im surprised they're telling us anything besides "lower body"

god the injuries in the playoffs are so cryptic

I don't miss Cloutier at all...I've had enough of his choking.

I've always liked Hedburg, and I think he could of gone the distance here, but Crawford is a Cloutier fanboy and played him even when he didn't deserve it.

Oh well, I still dont think the Canucks have a legitimate #1 goalie. Maybe Auld will step up..

Auld.... you're dreaming!

Cloutier is Vancouver's best goalie... he has been playing solid hockey all year... and he hasnt even had a chance to choke this year! now he's injured goddammit and we need to rely on Mr. "Im going to cheat to the pass even though there are two defensemen in front of the person and let in this easy shot over my shoulder"

You can actually get hockey in London? I was up in Leceister last playoffs (when they got munched by the wild) and wasn't able to find any broadcasts. You must have satellite or something.

EDIT: Oh i forgot... **GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

At this point to me Cloutier vs Hedberg honestly doesn't matter. Throughout this series when the team played good, they won. When the team played bad they lost. But when the team played bad we rested the blame completly on the goalies. If they can step it up im confident that either Cloutier or Hedberg has what it takes.

On the other hand, isn't it possible to say that Vancouver played well at times, but Calgary just played better?

The lack of respect for Calgary's team is pretty evident here... 'Calgary can't beat Vancouver.. the only way Calgary wins is when Vancouver beats themselves'..that's the message I'm pulling out of that.

Meh.

Go Flames Go!

Those comments were basically just related to the goaltender comments. Basically saying we cant blame losing on the goalies but that its the team as a whole. Don't get me wrong Calgary is a great team.

Man the garage is gonna be rockin tonight

wish i could be there

Man, that is for sure. I wish wish that i was there. It's gonna be awesome. But I guess ile settle for the old CBC. 1 hour and a half til game time.
GO Canucks..!

my friends and I have quite a little tradition going now

everyone comes over to my apartment to watch the game, and we go to 7-11 during 1st intermission to get sustanence

then its back to the game, we've done it for the past dozen or so broadcasts because none of us can afford tickets to GM Place

stupid 45 bucks for regular season nosebleed

wow.... kiprusoff is fucking brilliant in goal

and it pisses me off like nothing else

yep, great win for Kiprusoff. The Canucks really put the pressure on at the end there and he came up huge. Jovanovski got a great chance at the end and my heart nearly stopped, but Kiprusoff played it cool and stopped it with ease.
What a game. Can't wait for game 6.

Kiprusoff is such a cool customer... if you score on him he just has some water and puts his helmet back on... probably thinking "ah fuck it.. ill stop the next 50"

Haha "cool customer" did you quote that staight from Greg Millen?

That game was literally heartbreaking. I got the Cliff not making the open-netter in game 7 feeling. Ah well.

Greg Millen, what a terrible goalie he was, but he's an even worse announcer, Still lot's of hockey for the Canucks to come back, but a suggestion to Marc Crawford, Don't Start Auld.

haha, I love that. It's true though, he stays pretty cool. Made some great saves to keep them in it last night. Auld made some amazing saves as well. Great game all around, had me on edge right to the end.

Flames in 6. Hopefully I'll be able to score some tickets here this morning.

GO Flames Go!!!

I think that Vancouver should start Auld again. He had a good performance. The flames like to get infront of the net and and score with alot of traffic, and because Auld is alot bigger than Hedberg there is more of a chance he will save it. I almost guarantee that Auld will be the backup for Cloutier next year, so I think that Crawford wants him to play.

Haha, no I didn't quote Millen... it is just such a true statement... he's like a robot in net

Auld disappointed me... he's getting a lot of praise for someone who misplayed two shots that let in goals... a more experienced goalie might not have made those mistakes

and what's with The Province giving Jovo so much credit!?!? He has done nothing but disappoint me ALL SERIES... GRRRR

Sometimes sports reporters have their heads so far up their own asses... Linden was the best canuck last night

Linden was definetly the best Canuck last night. The thing that is funny is that in the past the Canucks would always have tons of offence, and always lack in goaltending. Now in a year with not so bad goaltending, we cant seem to get the puck in the net...

Well maybe if we didnt have Super Goalie playing against us

his vision is incredible

Well I managed to get a single seat for tomorrow night. Can't wait, it's going to be a great game!!! That place is going to be soooo freakin loud tomorrow night. Tuesday's game was loud but to come home from Vancouver with a chance to take the series at home... It's going to go off!!

GO FLAMES GO!!!!

Damn super goaly :mad:

Gotta lave the Leafs, another shutout for Eddie, I wonder why Alfredsson didn't make his prediction, that the Sens would score, and that he would score, what a stupid prediction of course they are going to score eventually, but not very often, time to buy the golf memberships Sens,.........................GO LEAFS GO

So much for Spezza the saviour, hahaha I hate that kid.

Yeah, so anyways back to the calgary vancouver series.... Auld was named the starting goaly for tonight game. I wonder how that will play out

yeah so anyways, back to the Leafs - Sens, what do they have to do to score on Belfour, I mean if they shoot more their arms may fall off.

As for Auld big deal, not a very good goalie and he'll prove it tonight.

I hope that's the truth. I think he did better out there than Hedburg though. We'll see how things shake out tonight. Calgary's got flames fever big time these days. Yesterday there were fistfights at a bunch of different ticketmaster sites with all the fans trying to get tickets for the game tonight. Tickets on ebay are selling for rediculous amounts. I saw some nosebleed seats on there selling for over $200 each!! Face value on those is $30. Crazy.

Go Flames Go!! Can't wait to be in the sea of red tonight. Gonna be great. :thumbsup:

man, sherpahigh, you're one lucky bastard. Wish I was there, but I'll still be cheering the Flames on from here at home.
Whoever's in net for the Canucks, I know they'll play well and the Flames will need to play great again to win. It's gonna be a great game, can't wait.

4-2 end of 2nd period

the flames have some jump... but can they score 3 unanswered?

*GO NUCKS*

Oh man, what a comeback. 4 all after regulation, OT coming up.
Just one more goal to go.
GO FLAMES GO!!!

I cant handle this... I am getting light headed I'm so worked up

DAMN YOU CANUCKS DAMN YOU

this game is easily the craziest of the series!!!!!

LET'S GO FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES LET'S GO!!!!!!!!

I cant handle this.... the crowd is so intense

if i could be there it would be the most electrifying thing of my life

Dammit.. So many chances in OT.. crossbar..

so close.. :(

NUCKS WIN NUCKS WIN

Can't believe that Canucks lost the 4 goal lead. I was so sure that they were going to win but had my doubts after the Flames scored 3.

Glad to see they won though. Game 7 should be an intense battle.

wooooo

morrison is my goddamn hero

and sopel... i love that guy

OOOOMMMGGG... game seven coming up. It's gonna be a good one, thankyou Mr. Morisson. Thankyou. I believe in the Canucks for game seven.

MODAY MODAY!

wild freakin hockey game man..........


monday night should be just as crazy.


go canucks go

:)

You said is man.

That sucked hard when the Canucks scored in 3 OT. The place was unbelieveable last night. Coming back from 4-0!!! The crowd was crazy. It was truely electrifying. I can hardly talk today from all the screaming and chanting, all the beer probably didn't help either.

Flames are hot on the road though, we can take this in their barn.

Go Flames Gooooooooooooooo!!!

I felt sorry for the flames fans after the game... they just looked crushed after such a marathon, especially after how into the game they were

GO NUCKS, GAME 7 BABY!!!

there will probably be riots if vancouver loses

i sure as hell hope not........what a bad fuckin' rap will do to the city of vancouver is ........eerrrr........oh yeah......that already happened before.......



please be sane canuck fans either way......

go canucks go

http://img25.photobucket.com/albums/..._ot_winner.jpg

Awesome picture, Morisson is a happy man right there. I hope that they can remember what a good win feels like and pull one off tomorrow.

Tough loss for Calgary after that huge rally. Next game is going to be awesome.

Something I've realized over the course of the series is that Kiprusoff is only as good as the defense in front of him... nay any goalie

the canucks blew four goals due to TERRIBLE defense, the Flames lost due to their defense being dead tired and giving up the chances

you cant blame Auld for those four goals, nor can you blame Kiprusoff... entirely (in both cases)

YAY, ottawa won tonight!!! All canadian teams are in a game seven. I sure hope Ottawa can take the series in Toronto. It will be a gooder.

I am loving this too... The only two series I really care about is Vancouver/Calgary, and Boston/Montreal

I've been a Montreal fan since i started watching hockey

and a Vancouver fan since 1990 or so

Ottawa isn't taking anything, the Leafs are going to dominate as usual.

Wait a second, if anything, you mean Ed Balfour is going to dominate?

well............game 7 outta be one hell of a hockey game


good luck to the flamers..........

go canucks go

1 player doesn't make a team , Eddie can only keep the puck out others have to actually score the goals, and don't get into that 1 player can carry a team bullshit because if only the goalie plays well and no one scores for him, they aren't going to win the game, and if the team scores all the goals in the world, if the tender is shitty then well, 1 player doesn't make a team.

jeez silent_jay... you just wont stop trying to threadjack the thread will you? hahaha

Game 7 tonight, How am I supposed to study for finals when there are TWO game 7's today? HOW!?!?

Just accept your teams fate of losing right now and save yourself the heartache of watching the game. ;)

Seriously though, it's gonna be a great night for hockey. Great two days for that matter. Game 7 in Vancouver is going to be a nail biter. I just hope it's decided in regulation. I don't know if I can handle another 3 OT's.

Go FLames Go!!!

I can't agree more. haha, you should just make a maple leafs thread, we will see how much interest the people of tilted forum have on the LAUGHS.

Can't wait for tonight, it is going to be awesome, six hours of hockey:D. Goodluck Flames
GO CANUCKS GO!!!!

No doubt, Im hunkered down for six hours straight

Call them the laughs all you want, by the way how many Cups have the Canucks won again?

How does that factor into the conversation at all?

i fail to see the correlation between the number of banners hanging in GM place, and the fact that the Leafs may be one of the most hated teams in sports

montreal/boston game is quite entertaining..........

can't wait for it to end so we can get on w/ the real hockey.


GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!


montreal just knocked off boston..............

see not hijacked at all I was merely celebrating a victory in a hockey releated thread and someone started something about the Leafs not naming names matteo101, and I merely responded, and no I am not going to waste BW on another thread about hockey when there are already 3 or 4 dedicated to it, I guess a playoff thread to cover all the series would of made too much sense, oh well after Calgary gets the boot maybe I'll turn this into the Leafs thread, ya sounds like a good idea, you Flames fans won't mind?

Way to go Habitants, Congrats Mr. Julien, and who was it earlier calling him a moron oh yeah the answer is Kaos and here's the thread http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=52349 I wonder what he thinks of him now probably one of those fickle fans, I hate him, I love him, so confusing

0-0.........first intermission.........man these guys are hittin' hard.

i love it.


GO CANUCKS GO.........

1-0 Flames 6:05 left in 2nd

GRR Kiprusoff

we're coming back in the third just you wait

yup......so many chances.

just put the fucking puck in the net boys...........:mad:

all tied up, good Canadian boy a grinder like Cooke deserves this goal, OT should be hairy, hang onto your seats boys its going to be a wild ride

oh my god

oh my god

calm down Ace calm down, remember to breathe

wtf..
since when do they NOT whistle it down when idiot fans throw shit on the ice?!?!?!?

What the hell.
Throwing shit on the ice?
Thats a stoppage of play..
Vancouver fans are dumbasses for that.
but it's been an increidlby exciting series, even if I can only listen to it over the net.

Man, that was an amazing moment. Overtime should be intense. I sure hope that Vancouver can do it. Go Canucks GO!!!
Believe!!!

Bah!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jovo fucked us in the ass for the last time

he played terrible

CALGARY WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOOOOOO
To Quote peter Maher
YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!

and its over that fast...

:(

AND now i have a final exam tomorrow that i neglected to watch this game

fuck

Thats it, I'm Flying back to Calgary to watch hockey:)

Flames just made me very happy. I would have loved for the AVS to knock out the Nucks but never the less, I am happy the Nucks are done...

Congrats to the Flames, now bring down Detroit....

It's my beard thats done this.
started it this spetember, and they mad ehte playoffs!!
I rule!!

Goodluck with San Jose Go_AVS, your going to need it...

Bring on the Wings!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO FLAMES GO!!!!!

Well all I have to say is at least you can't blame it on Cloutier. What am I going to hear now, We could of won had Cloutier been in net, gotta give it to the Flames, they've got a lot of heart, congrats Calgary and enjoy rd.2 you deserve it.

Heh, first we heard, CLloutier is best.
Then he went down nand we heard, hedberg is a better goalie thean clouts, then he sucked, and we heard Auld is a great goalie blah blah.
Canucks will give you 101 excuses for the lose. They won't admit they were beaten legitimetly.

dead soldiers.........just like my team.

http://volcano.photobucket.com/album...d_soldiers.jpg









fuck:mad:

love the place mat btw. But fuck, Calgary showed alot of heart, and as much as I hate Jerome Iginla right now, I have got to give it to him, he did good. All thoughts about Naslund not being a good captain have been erased, he came up huge when the pressure was on, with under 10 seconds left in the game. I had my last exciting moment at the end of the third, and I guess I will just have to go to sleep with a bitter taste in my mouth. Alex Auld did awesome, I think he will do good in this league. I just wish that over time would have gone longer, atleast until both teams got into a grove, and we could watch some more exciting hockey. Ed Jovonovski took a stupid penalty, and he had more giveaways that I can count on one hand. No one is to blame, but he was the worst canuck tonight. If there is a season next year, than Vancouver has alot of talent, they may look to make afew trades, but if Bertuzzi comes back, I expect this team to be just as good next year.

Don't know if you really mean seeing where you are from but thank you. I know we are going to need it...

AVS - Flames in the WC Finals...

You know, you cheer for a team all season right from game 1... you cheer with all your heart because they do well and you expect them to bring home the cup... they make the playoffs and you're so elated... they make it through a tough game 6, and score with 5 seconds left to force overtime... and then its over so fast...

It really feels like I've wasted all my months cheering... and now who do I cheer for? I'm not watching another playoff hockey game this year, the experience has been cheapened for me.

This is the last time I get so into a team, it's not healthy

FLAMES MADE IT BABY!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA HA!

Bring it on Red Wimpys!

Ace, It's part of being a fan, I've been a fan the entire 8 years.. 8 that they have not made the playoffs.
You stay with your team through the good and the bad, it's what being a fan is about.
then again, where you a fan back when the canucks sucked? did you stay with them then?

yes, I've been a fan through the dark years of Messier and without Linden

But this is the first year I watched every televised game... many times in lieu of much needed homework... or studying in tonights case

There's a lot of anger, and bitterness, and disappointment... but no matter what I say now, I know I'll be back waving a canucks flag again next year... But 2004 is a write-off as the playoffs are concerned... All the other games I watched were filler between nucks games.

I am going to have to agree with this entire statement. So so true.

Hey, if you Nuck fans think you've had it tough...
Think of how much pain Calgary's had to go through in the past 8 years.. no playoffs.. the past 15 years.. no series wins..

Amazing series though. Easily the best series in the first round this year, I'd say.

GG! Jovo still sucks!

fuck the bandwagon jumpers... i hate them

Man lean years I was a Leafs fan in the 80's under Ballard, I even met the old bastard when I was younger, so don't let me hear all these young teams talking about lean years thewy haven't been around long enough to know what lean is.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeahhhhh Baby!!! You can put it in the win column!! Oh man that was tense. Unreal way to finish such a great series. I litterally dropped to the floor when they tied that up with 5.9 seconds left.


Yaaaaahooooo!! I'm gonna try to go to bed but there's nothing but honking and sheering outside, this town's going crazy.

Good luck tomorrow night Sens. I'm standing by my Sens vs. Flames final.

Back to reality now i guess, no more hockey worth really watching. Man I feel so stupid and used after the year for some reason. Like the little rituals, and traditions before the game, just stupid stuff, but now that it is all over, I feel empty. Do I have problems. hahaha. I think so.

as a fellow true fan who did all of the above you speak of... you dont have problems... it's the nature of being a true fan

you live and die by your team, and now we have a long offseason
