Yay!!!!
And with the time change I can listen to the game Sunday morning on Net Radio! Woot!
Go Flames!!!

losthellhound · 06-04-2004, 04:09 AM

It was a great game.. Had trouble concentrating on it, but I'm sure that will pass for the next game

matteo101 · 06-04-2004, 05:21 AM

Wow, this is awesome. Iginila is clutch. The streets of Calgary are going to party like no other, if they can win the cup at home. I can't wait til saturday night.

DDDDave · 06-04-2004, 05:46 AM

OK, OK. Get over yourselves

It sucks. We didn't play good and they did and we lost. There, I said it. It still doesn't feel any better though.

The Forum was electric but nothing like it will be on Monday night when we play for the Cup. But it sure won't happen if we don't play better than that. Too many mistakes. The passing was sloppy, too many turnovers. Khabi played good but there were too many breakdowns. Iginla played like the stud that he is. Nobody else for the Flames seemed to stand out, just good solid team play.

I've said before the losses are never as bad as they seem, but damn, that hurt.

sherpahigh · 06-04-2004, 06:23 AM

Man that was a great game last night. I was on the edge of my seat the whole game other than the times I was jumping outta my seat with anticipation or celebration. Back and forth there for awhile, a huge attack by the flames that seemed to last for 5 min. Kipper and 'Bulin with some amazing saves...Great Hockey.

Can't wait to do it all again on Saturday. Just got to figure out a way to get into the building.

17th after the game last night was packed. 50,000 strong having a great time. I highfived everyone from a husband and wife in their 70's to a 1 year old sitting on his dad's shoulders. The little guy gave me a high five and then 2 thumbs up!

Go Flames Go!!

Ace_O_Spades · 06-04-2004, 07:32 AM

the best part about all this is... each home team has a chance to win the cup at home... which I really like, I hate seeing teams win the cup on the road... because the building is just like ... "....

"

I love hearing the fans EXPLODE

There have been some questionable hits from both sides in this series and Nemo's the one who gets targeted. It was the same in Detroit. The lesson learnt is that as long as it's not a star player, it's ok. At least that's what I'm getting from it all.

I wish I had access to all the tapes, It would be fun to compile clips of similar incedents and show if they were called or not.
Might even be able to compile data to show if the stars do indeed get more calls on a questionable play than do the non-stars of the league.

That would be interesting to see. Throw the hit on Gelinas on there from last night too...No Call.

Ace_O_Spades · 06-04-2004, 03:33 PM

So I heard back from the devil... apparently he already gave away all the tickets he had reserved for people selling their souls weeks ago

guess I should have wished for eternal damnation earlier... curses

Quadraton · 06-04-2004, 10:55 PM

I just want to say one thing.

Bay of White?

Lame. Very lame.

And that whole 'last minute effort' thing makes it look more like a sense of desperation instead of a rallying point.

On the white thing..... Agreed. So did a lot of people.

I wore my 'lucky' black shirt. So much for that.

Haven't heard about 'last minute effort' but I know Tortarella has pretty much called the team out and said 'We will not win without a 60 minute effort'. I took that to mean he hasn't seen one yet. I think the Lightning will respond with their best game of series tonight, because they know that if they don't, they will get beat.

I watched the TiVo of Game 5 last night and had forgotten how close the St.Loius shot late in the third came to going in. It looked like Kiprisoff got it caught in between his skates at the time. We would have won that game and 'stolen' one after being outplayed most of the night. Ouch. It still stings.

Anyway, I hope it is a good game tonight.

Serpent · 06-05-2004, 09:02 AM

YEah game 5 does sting, but i think it will be some great motivation for the lightining to bring game 7 back to tampa. The sea of white wasn't a last minute thing, was planned out ever since the "orange crush" in philly, wasn't till game 5 that they had all the shirts.

Quadraton · 06-05-2004, 10:00 AM

So, it took them until the fifth game of the Stanley Cup final to come up with the shirts so that they could rip off someone else's identity (referring to the 'White Out' of the now defunct Winnipeg Jets).

Still very lame.

edit:

And you know, if I were in Marketing for the Lightning, I wouldn't have come up with that whole Bay of White crap. Instead, I would have made everyone wear black shirts, and called it a Blackout (in reference to what lightning can sometimes cause). Pretty clever, yes?

At least then they wouldn't appear as though they copying off of Calgary's C of Red, as well as taking Winnipeg's White Out.

I wonder if they're taking resumes?

Ace_O_Spades · 06-05-2004, 11:44 AM

I often wonder what marketing execs are thinking... but that is pretty clever quad

Fly · 06-05-2004, 12:54 PM

Canada brings home the cup tonight folks..........

gonna be one hell of a game.

DDDDave · 06-05-2004, 01:49 PM

Quad,

They tried. Seriously. The league office would not allow the team to authorize everyone wearing black. Something about the goalie not being able to see the puck. Gee, ya think???

How about this though. Have the shirts made up with one side in white and the other side in black. Then 'encourage' the fans opposite Kiprusoff to wear them. Switch during periods. It would be cool. Half in white, half in black, switching during periods. At least it would be unique.

Gonna be an awesome game tonight.

Averett · 06-05-2004, 04:03 PM

GO FLAMES GO!

Averett · 06-05-2004, 06:36 PM

So, will that non goal be a factor? I hope not....

Well, that sucked.

Averett · 06-05-2004, 07:54 PM

Alright, so Tampa has gone win-loss-win-loss for the past.. what is it, 12 games or so? Something like that. So they'll lose on Monday

Damn good series.

Halx · 06-05-2004, 07:55 PM

Ahh yes.. my Monday night will be semi-eventful.

Ace_O_Spades · 06-05-2004, 07:55 PM

Good ol tampa, takin it to 7

josh_s08 · 06-05-2004, 08:24 PM

I think the NHL blew this one. The Flames should of won it. The call that the puck was on a edge looked totaly wrong from the angle they were showing on TV. (incase you dont know, a shot was taken, and the puck appeared to cross the line, but the NHL said it wasent entirely accrost). The zoomed picture that ABC was showing clearly showed, to me, white ice between the puck and the blue line.

Anyway, the flames should win it, making it 13 in a row for the lightening to win-lose.

Ace_O_Spades · 06-05-2004, 08:26 PM

I think they said the puck was in the air, so thats why you saw white

but it doesnt matter now, it will never change anything anymore

i hear,feel,.....and saw your pain man...........

rules:inconclusive.........

....and it sorta was.

i myself felt that the puck crossed the line but,..........what can i do about it now right?

'nother the day for the sun to come up.

00111000 · 06-05-2004, 08:58 PM

It looked in to me. Khabibulin was down and his toe was behind the goal line. It looked like the puck went off the kicker right where the the face meets the boot area, very close indeed. Either way...game 7's kick ass, it's just a shame Calgary is not going to win it at home.

Serpent · 06-05-2004, 09:01 PM

I think that angle was rather deciving, the puck was a blur at that point and looked more like an optical illusion then anything.. The overhead view didn't show that the puck went in, question is were the frames per second high enough to match the other camera?

Saw some stills on the close goal by calgary, and it looks like if the puck is on the ice it would be a goal, but if it is airborne it is right on the crease/red line area. Which would support the overhead cam not showing a goal.. Either way, unless someone got a real photo of it from ice level and at a high shutter speed, it will forever be labeled as no goal..

Oh and here is one of the nhl guys that had the call on whether it was a goal or not:

"We reviewed a number of camera angles and only one showed the puck," said Colin Campbell, the NHL director of hockey operations. "Based on the angle of the image and the fact that the puck was in the air and on edge, there was insufficient evidence that the puck conclusively crossed the goal line."

Ace_O_Spades · 06-05-2004, 09:35 PM

And the word came from on high

"no goal"

i wonder what would have happened if it was a goal after careful review? would they just say "no" anyway? or would they admit it and blow up the controversy?

matteo101 · 06-05-2004, 10:54 PM

That is no way to win a stanley cup anyways. I thank god, that it didnt go down like that. Halx im impressed your watching hockey. Monday night is...i cant even call it, because i am cheering for either or, buth teams are chaulked full of canadians, and both are lower market teams.
