12/17 - Calgary Comes to Town

[TSC]

The Calgary Flames are not a good hockey team. Even the Providence Bruins should be able to beat them. Tonight we find out if that is the case.
 
Hopefully some home cooking and rest got rid of any lingering effects from the flu that swept through the team. Also - let's hope returning to these ladies helps the team as well:
 

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Quench the Flames.

 

[McDrew]

Might be a few empty seats tonight as Weather Underground has it snowing 1+ inches an hour between 4 and 10.  Communte's going to be hairy. 

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Bah, I'm supposed to go into the city for a play.  Not sure I want to come back to 4 inches of snow.

 

[PedroSpecialK]

You can come back to 4 inches of something else if you play your cards right 

 

[TheRealness]

I'm about to start power sledding down to the game from NH in a bit. Should be a fun ride. Hopefully we get there before the game starts. 

 

[BoSox2013]

It'll be a good game for Tuukka to become Tuukka again.

 

[TSC]

It'll be a good game for Tuukka to become Tuukka again.

 
Against Calgary he'll merely have to be Tuka. 

 

[LogansDad]

Today is Gregory Campbell's birthday.
 
I believe the team should get him a win.

 

[MiracleOfO2704]

It just took nearly 3 hours to get from the North Shore to southern NH. Fuck winter, and fuck the Flames.

 

[cshea]

Cunningham in, Fraser out. 
 
Too bad the house is empty for the Taz ceremony

 

[cshea]

Bottom 6 shakeup
 
Caron - Campbell - Cunningham
Soderberg - Spooner - Johnson

 

[Nomar813]

Bottom 6 shakeup
 
Caron - Campbell - Cunningham
Soderberg - Spooner - Johnson

Fraser has left the building.
 
Not literally. Though I'm sure it's possible.

 

[cshea]

This is like watching a preseason game. Perhaps 10K in the building watching Craig Cunningham, Kevan Miller and Nick Johnson in the lineup. Guys like Loui Eriksson, Dougie Hamilton, Chris Kelly, Shawn Thornton, and Mike Cammalleri not playing. 

 

[TheRealness]

Took me two hours but I got here for puck drop. Bruins are playing like shit though. Kinda like everyone driving on the highway.

 

[cshea]

Can we get this stupid poll question off the screen while play is going on? 

 

[The Napkin]

They just played the bear and the gang Christmas episode. Still funny.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Wow these fuckin morons. How do you not fuckin see that?

 

[cshea]

2 shitty calls there. Think Krejci held the line. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Damn, nice save on Bergy there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

SLAMMA LAMMA DING DONG

 

[Jordu]

Chara slapped from the dot. Terrifying.

 

[Nomar813]

Chara!

 

[BoSox2013]

Bruins score first for the first time in franchise history!

 

[cshea]

Kevan Miller might be to McQuaid what McQuaid was to Mark Stuart. Miller is a very solid player. The only drop off from McQuaid is with the fists.

And the beautiful hair.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Marchand is such an idiot at times.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I can't wait until Marchand's contract is up.

 

[sachmoney]

Stupid penalty by Marchand.

 

[Jordu]

Goddam brainless play by Marchand. They could make an instructional video for refs using that hit.

 

[cshea]

Ryan Spooner, penalty killer. His defensive game has come a long way. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Beautiful hit by Seids.

 

[McDrew]

Is it just me, or is the ice corrugated dog shit tonight? 

 

[Salem's Lot]

Spooner deserves to stay here.

 

[veritas]

I wouldn't be upset at all if Marchand was traded in the offseason

 

[Manzivino]

Ryan Spooner, penalty killer. His defensive game has come a long way.


He's made me start searching for landing spots for Kelly's 2/$6 remaining after this year. He's never going to be a shutdown guy but he looks like he can be competent defensively which is a huge step for him. Soderberg-Spooner-Smith would make a hell of a 3rd line when everyone's healthy.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

ZZ PP GG

 

[Jordu]

Sweet kick to the stick by Chara. What a beast.

 

[Nomar813]

Clearly the key to becoming a great goal scorer is having an eye gouged out by a stick.

 

[Myt1]

I wouldn't be upset at all if Marchand was traded in the offseason

Yeah, for the shit season he's having, he should have shut the fuck up against Vancouver, too.

 

[sachmoney]

Clearly the key to becoming a great goal scorer is having an eye gouged out by a stick.

And the key to be hated by your own fans is to have your eye gouged by a glove.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Chippy!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Marchand misses two open nets then blocks a third from going in.

 

[cshea]

That settles it. Marchand will never score agian. 

 

[Jordu]

That was actually kind of funny.

 

[Stitch01]

Claude seemed a bit perturbed for being up 2-0 with 30 seconds left

 

[cshea]

2 U's, 2 K's, 0 goals. 
 
Good time to catch a lot of the leagues bottom feeders.  

 

[LogansDad]

Maybe during practice tomorrow, the Clagary coaches will teach Bouma how to control his stick.

 

[The Napkin]

The T is a total Clutterbuck.

 

[kenneycb]

It took me 4.5 hours to get back to Somerville from Hartford today. But I caught the final nine minutes and Rad's Benny Hill impression with the empty net. So not all was lost.
