But they can finish 1st overall in the NHL by a landslide, and I *still* wouldn't expect them to make it past round 2 of the playoffs.

Sharks and Canucks will finish 1-2, and both be knocked out in the first round.

You heard it here first.

Dubs stole that game for us last night, even if only 1 pt.

I agree sharks will finish 1st with a chance at the presidents trophy. The Canucks on the other hand will finish worse than second but will make into the second round. After that ive got no idea.

I think you should thank the ref who called that BS penalty on Clowe (that negated a goal) for that point, rather than Dubnyk.

Coldrsx · #**666** Posted **Feb 1, 2013, 6:12 PM**

or how about that 'cross check' by Petry

BS penalty aside, the play was offside as well.

My god... Max Pacioretty is a freak!!!

Quote:

There was a surprise appearance from left-winger Max Pacioretty, who skated a full practice, with wind sprints at the end only six days after having an emergency appendectomy. He was expected to be out three-to-four weeks, but it appears he will make an earlier return.

He isn't expected to play this weekend but doesn't look to be far off of a return.

"The doctor told me I can't really make it any worse and it's part of my competitive nature to go out and push it as far as I can, so when I'm playing I'll be ready," said Pacioretty.

When asked when he will be back, Pacioretty said: "It's hard to tell. I don't know. If it were my choice, I'd play tomorrow."

Great game by Hudler though, was really impressed with his performance last night.

They really screwed it up royally in the last five minutes, that's for sure. But the first two periods were very good, offensively at least.

The Hudler line was excellent all night. Stajan looks like a man reborn playing with the two Czechs.

Dr. Nicko sounds impressed.

So when's prom this year?

Nicko999 · #**671** Posted **Feb 2, 2013, 3:45 AM**

Welcome back!!!

Your team still sucks though...

Nicko999 · #**672** Posted **Feb 2, 2013, 4:29 AM**

BTW-Sorry Flames fans but I'm cheering against you this season.

The better draft pick you have the better it is for us because we have your second rounder from the Cammy trade.

Hopefully that second rounder is like a late first.

BTW-How had Cammy been? I haven't seen him in highlights this season yet.

Underperforming.

ZeDgE · #**674** Posted **Feb 2, 2013, 6:43 AM**

Flames are currently last place in the league. (least games played though)

sigh

Based on games played? I was just going by points.

Based on points per game, the only fair way to compare when one team has played 60% more games than the other.

^ tell yourself what you need to.

Kiprusoff sporting a 3.76 GAA and an .854 save percentage
Iggy has yet to score, only 3 pts so far
Flames have but one win on the season
Cammy has yet to show up...

it's funny watching the melt down 300 km south of me. Some fans are delusional, "its just a slow start" some fans are in disbelief "Philly is worst than us, cause they have more games played" like that really matters.

Maybe feaster can sign another vet towards the end of his career? maybe you can chase after that elusive RFA/UFA? that's worked really well for both the Flames and Oilers over the year.

Maybe, just maybe, the flames will realize its TIME TO REBUILD.

Though, I'd prefer the flames to finish just below the playoff cut, they will likely do much worse this year, and unforunately they will be in the running for drafting Jones or Macinnon

ZeDgE · #**679** Posted **Feb 2, 2013, 6:41 PM**

It was time to rebuild a couple of years ago.

They are more entertaining to watch this season though, so that's a plus. Players seem to be less handcuffed into sleep inducing play style.

Darkoshvilli · #**680** Posted **Feb 2, 2013, 9:46 PM**

Galchenyuk 7pts in 7 games, playing third line minutes with another rookie and a grinder.

We got a good one.
