Don't worry, there's always an American team somewhere willing to pay an overrated European goal-scorer. Just keep waving him in the face of the Rangers or Flyers and the pocket book will open..

How unusual...important game and the Flames blow it....

Damn I should've put a bet down on it, you'ld think I'd know better by now

I will give credit to the Avs.. they clogged the shooting lanes, didnt allow many good chances and won the battles that mattered... Anderson was solid when he had to be.. They were the best team out there

Was a horrible game to watch as a fan, boring as hell... Dome was quiet... played into the Avs favor

I wouldnt call that game overly important... first place at this point in the seasons means F all.. hell first place means nothing period if you cant back it up in the playoffs... that said divisional games are always meaningful and 5-2 isnt anything to cry about

Yeah, but this is the same team that quit in the third period against Vancouver a few short nights ago, and they just lost to a badly struggling Oilers team tonight. Harbinger of brutal times ahead I'm afraid.

But, they are still atop the Western Conference... and it's our first regulation loss of the month... 2 of our 5 reg. losses are against the Avs... they play us well

Nickhead is a glass half full type of guy..good to see..any how im looking to drop a few bucks tonite i have a few questions..

1) will the Blackhawks merely beat the Flamers?

2) will the Hawks Analy rape the Flamers like usual?

3) will all the moons align and Hell suddenly be hit with a ice storm and the Flamers win tonite?

I dont mind watching the Hawks but Calgary is so lame i have to switch to the Dolphins/Panthers..Flames =Nyquil

Looks like the anal lube will be applied to the H1N1 Flames once again..ill finish winning my NFL bet and see how badly the Flamers are losing and how drunk iam before taking a +4.5 on the Flames

Ouch...4-1 looks like Flamers in over their overated heads once again..you guys realize that you need to go thru CHItown to win the cup right? atleast VCR can win a few games. against the Hawks...my +4.5 prediction should be right on...lol

what would you do without Kipper? Phaneuf is such a f-ckin p-ssy fighting with his f-ggot shield on...im embarassed to be Canadian if that f-g is on team Canada..5-1 Hawks ...love it!

Ok now ill just log off ,its beyond embarassment..congrats on another 1st rd loss but some would consider that a decent season?.your not good enough to beat the Hawks..you guys can be the Paper playoff contenders? its better than nothing?

you know 6-1 is a decent loss if your a NFL team? keep your chin up..but then again 6-1 wouldnt be a NFL score ..get one more and its a nail biter ...in the NFL LOL

You know i can see Phaneuf wearing his shield so his boyfriend doesnt blow his load into his eyes ,but how the guy can get any respect from opponents and his own teammates is beyond me? he is worse than the "Chicken swede" comments from my youth..for f-cks sake take your visor off!! you are Canadian right? ..i seriously cant stand the guy

Boy, that was a beating, huh?

just sets up us beating you quicker in the playoffs mud. :>

and randle, 2-1 or 7-1, it's both still a loss. at least we are currently gonna make the playoffs. come back and gloat when you can actually win a game or two on the road, cause you guys are gonna be playing four games on the road come playoffs....

at least that is unless you start the playoffs on the golf course. :>
