Bruins v. Flames on HMS Prince of Wales sinking day

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Iginla returns to Calgary. I smell a hat trick by Jarome.
 
 

 

[Bergs]

I am enjoying this winning streak based on thread titles alone.

 

[cshea]

Nick Johnson was called up today. Flu bug going around, apparently Paille is questionable for tonight.

 

[McDrew]

Eriksson was also IR'd (I had only heard about Kelly being IR'd before). 

 

[cshea]

McQuaid is also on IR. Kelly is on LTIR. They needed to do it to clear roster space for Johnson.

Eriksson only being on IR is actually good news.

Edit: Paille is out with an upper body injury. I guess it's not the flu.

 

[Fred not Lynn]

Well, I am I Utah now, but I manged to hook my wife up with tickets. I think it's the most exciting Flames game of a pretty sad season.

 

[Haunted]

These late starting times are for the birds.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Nah, we just played them.  These are the Flames.

 

[cshea]

NHL Net is going to have the Iginla ceremony/tribute prior to puck drop. Not sure if NESN will. 
 
Also, Johnson on the 4th line. Caron - Campbell - Johnson. 

 

[Haunted]

Nah, we just played them. These are the Flames.

Ah-booooooooooooo

 

[cshea]

Puck drop not until closer to 10. 
 
Should be a cool moment for Iggy. I remember Ray coming back with the Avs. 

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Nice we (he?) get to watch this as B's fans.

Eat shit, Pittsburgh!

 

[Red Right Ankle]

Oy.  Well back to watching Doctor Who episodes then.

 

[cshea]

Iggy's the man. Good for him. 

 

[McDrew]

I mean this with absolutely no irony or sarcasm.
 
You stay classy Calgary.  I hope the B's win it all this year so Iginla can share his win with you. 

 

[mauf]

Wow, this is an amazing reception.

 

[LogansDad]

What an awesomely simple ceremony, that you could tell meant a lot to Jerome and the crowd.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Really cool

 

[ThreatLevelMidnight]

Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla

 

[The Napkin]

Man, I'm a little emotional watching that. Not sure how he isn't a puddle out there.

We kind of fell in love with Calgary watching late games on the package the last few years and are planning a trip out there to catch a game at some point. Very much looking forward to it.

 

[Red Right Ankle]

You guys are all making Monbo very mad with your praise of Calgary.

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Pretty cool.

Never noticed the "see" and "red" during the anthem.

 

[McDrew]

Good back check by Lucic there. Calgary has been winning with speed so far, hopefully the B's can counter with physicality.

 

[McDrew]

Yeah, jones grabbed Seidenberg's head. That's an obvious call

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Mike Cammalleri looking thrilled.

 

[cshea]

Wow, nice rush from Krug and Spooner. Too bad Fraser couldn't finish it off. 

 

[sachmoney]

I have no idea how Fraser didn't bury that.

 

[LogansDad]

That was a smexy play from the third line.

 

[Manzivino]

Spooner-Krejci PK pairing. Just like Claude drew it up in camp!

 

[LogansDad]

That was an eventful final minute.

 

[Haunted]

God damn it. Tuukka needs to have that.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Soft

 

[Haunted]

What's with horrible 2nd periods this season?

 

[LogansDad]

Playing like a team that's on the road and has the flu.

 

[FelixMantilla]

I wish this team would score some goals.

 

[Haunted]

Ugh. And now too many men. Ugly.

 

[Nomar813]

Too many men is the last problem I'd expect from this team right now.

 

[LogansDad]

Feels like Montreal all over again.
 
Edit: Except I don't hate Calgary with every ounce of my being....

 

[LogansDad]

FUCK YES!

 

[estreetfan]

Yahoo!

 

[Nomar813]

KRUG
 
Or Krejci!

 

[PedroSpecialK]

HOLY SHIT

 

[estreetfan]

Wow!!!!

 

[estreetfan]

Yes!!!!
What a goal!

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit Reilly Smith!!!!!

 

[Jungleland]

Reilly Smith is so goddamn good. Just continues to rise up my list of favorite players on this team.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Holy shit is right. What a goal!

 

[Nomar813]

REILLY!

 

[sachmoney]

The B's have turned it on this period. I love that they're finishing the game strong, but I worry about them not putting in a full 60.
 
Also, our rookies, who played college hockey (at schools I do not like nonetheless), own.

 

[estreetfan]

Get it out!
