It's now 8am here in England, i'm still up.. wearing the Canucks jersey. I had tears watching it round at a flames fans house over here.
Good job on them though, well fought series.
Go CANUCKS Go... 5 months till the next Stanley Cup run!

metalgeek

itr indeed was a great series.
Reffing could have been better, alot of crappy penalties and missed penalties for both teams.
2 OT games, game 7, hell a series for history.

Wow. I've never experienced such a high and low in game before in such a short period of time. The tying goal was a heartbreaker. I thought Vancouver would have all the momentum and win for sure. But the Flames showed a lot of heart and came out strong.
You really can't say enough about Iginla and Kiprusoff. Those 2 guys carried the Flames all season and they did it again in this game and series. Detroit better be ready to play, that's all I'm gonna say.

Averett

I wish I had stayed up to watch the game

I was hoping for a Calgary win. I'm not a bandwagon jumper, I'm not going to claim to be their biggest fan. Hell, only reason I was pulling for them is cause I've been to Calgary twice and have friends there.

Playoff hockey is awesome though. So damn intense.

That is exactly how I feel. After thinking the game will certainly end in a loss, I was pretty sad already, then Iginla missed the open net, afew crazy things happen and suddenly Cooke scored, and it was like the most amazing feeling ever in hockey, I was yelling and what not. During the intermission people would be calling, and talking about how great it was and how the next period is gonna be awesome. Then, BAM, its over. A stupid goal like two minutes in. That really really sucked..

sherpahigh

Take that and spin it 180 degrees and you've got how us Flames fans were feeling. That intermission was the most depressing one ever. We were winning, less than 6 seconds left, we can hang on.... noooooooooooooo.

The OT was sweet though, very, very sweet. Bring on Detroit.

No offence but if you feel this way you are a fan of the Canucks and not a hockey fan, a real fan can watch any game no matter who is playing, and enjoy it.

Well the morning after and I realize that my Canadians are still in... so I have that to watch at least

The entire city this morning is depressed, I saw it at my University, nobody even wanted to make eye contact, and when they did they just shook their heads... it was very depressing

not to mention its raining and shitty in Vancouver today

GO HABS

really not trying to rub it in.

I felt bad for the Canuck fans last night, I know first hand how it is to watch your team lose in OT. Heartbreaking. The series could have easily gone either way, it was damn exciting to watch.

Sorry for the weather comment but it's true, it's a damn nice day here today and I'm stuck inside all day.

Yeah, it was a good series, in fact it was an awesome series. One of the best that I have seen. And also like ace o spades, I woke up and realized that I still would watch the Canadiens games, and the Calgary series, and maybe even the Senators or Maple leafs in the next round. It won't be the same, but I guess hockey is more than cheering for one team only. thanks for making me realize that silent jay. Good luck to your team tonight. but, Go Senators Go.

canuckguy

here is my two cents.... darn flames have to go and beat vancouver!!!! grrrrr my team is the redwings and the only way I would have got to see there games on tv is if it was a colorado/detroit series. now i'm stuck watching montreal games....yeah

Ace_O_Spades

You never know... they televise more games through the second round... you could get to catch a few

and I know you werent bragging sherpahigh... but its just been a bad 24 hours... I did TERRIBLE on an exam this morning... its just not my week

The leafs have all but won. 4-1 right now. Looks like Ottawa has choked again. Philly vs Tdot next round. It will be a good one.

Ace_O_Spades

wow... lalime sure picked a crappy game to suck

good job though leafs... but i still hate thee

Ottawa needs a bit of an overhaul.

Not a team-gutting.. but.. something should be done.

silent_jay

Now an overhaul needs to be done to the Sens where before everyone was saying the Leafs didn't have a chance, because the Sens are too powerful, I think the Sens are just mind fucked into believing they can't beat the Leafs.

FLAMES WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another OT thriller.
Again, Kiprusoff came up huge. The Wings outplayed us almost the entire game, but he kept making the saves and the Flames just battled hard and somehow got the win. The Flames may be beat up, they may be tired, but they've got alot of heart.

Ace_O_Spades

wow... flames

good job guys

Oh YEAH!!! that was sweet. Kipper came up huge. They looked pretty shakey at the start of that game but were showing a lot of heart later on. Gelinas came up huge on that effort for the assist. Nice work.

Go Flames!!

Congratulations to the flames for taking game one. As stupid and hipicritical as this may sound, I may just have to take a step onto the bandwagon. Just a small one tho, and JUST during this years playoffs, then I will hop back off again. Any Canadian team is worth cheering for when it comes down to it.

Ace_O_Spades

Im really indifferent about this series, I can't cheer for Calgary, and i loathe Detroit

i just hope Calgary wins because i always love seeing detroit out of the playoffs

I'll catch the highlights

Why can't you cheer for Calgary?

silent_jay

You gotta keep cheering for the Canadian teams, the Cup needs to come back to it's rightful country.

Silent_jay, what are your thoughts on the leafs?

silent_jay

I'm not overly worried about the Leafs, you've got to win 4 games to take the series, and while a 2-0 deficit isn't good, it also isn't insurmountable, they just need to dig a little deeper and show some heart and desire, and take it 1 game at a time. My prediction the Leafs are taking the next 2 in Toronto and go back to Philly all tied up.

IMO, its looking more and more like a Tampa Bay vs. San Jose cup final. Two expansion teams, they are both just awesome. Hopefully Montreal or Calgary will prove this wrong, but right now these teams look pretty unstoppable.

silent_jay

Don't count out my Leafs, they have just as good a chance as anyone else

matteo101

Yeah, I can't forget the leafs or flyers for that matter. Philly is actually looking pretty good, but not much better than Toronto. Esche is playing some good hockey, but I think Balfour is capable of playing better. That series is up in the air, I dont even know what to think of it.

silent_jay

It's one of the few 2-0 series leads when neither team is playing great playoff hockey, Esche is playing good, but yes Eddie isn't playing up to his skill level, when the Leafs win the next game they'll be back in the series, I'm not worried.
Has anybody said they don't belong there? I mean they beat out the Canucks, and they were looking great going into the series, and the Flames snubbed them, I think people realise they should be there.

I wasnt referring to anybody on here. People in general seem to think the flames "lucked out" to make it thus far, and I am always hearing people say that they have no chance against a team like Detroit. It's just going to make them want it sooo much more.

silent_jay

sorry about that, I thought you meant someone in the thread.

I've noticed that people in general seem to think the same thing, it would be nice for them to smoke the Wings, and yes all the negative talk about them "lucking out" to make it this far is only going to fire them up even more. I hope they knock off the Wings, jesus that would be sweet.

Sorry Avs fans. A team full of allstars and you still can't manage to win. Could'nt win the division, and can't beat the sharks. But hey, you did better than my team. The fact of the matter is that Granato is gone.
