Calgary Flames at Phoenix Coyotes, Dec 3, 2009 6:30 PM PST
This is one of those games.
You know the ones. Where all the arrows are pointing in the right direction for a win. Where your hopes for the team are high and everything in the universe seems to be indicating a sure-fire victory. And you lose.
Think about it:
- Bourque returning from injury and on the first line
- Team coming off best win of the year
- Kipper nursing a 2 game shut-out streak
- Iginla coming off a first-star-of-the month performance
- PHX a rag-tag bunch the Flames should be able to beat.
Throw in the fact that I'm paying to watch this contest and the gut-punch loss is all but guaranteed.
Prove me wrong Flames. Prove me wrong.

A few of the folks at Lowetide figured Mickey Redmond on the Wings feed was liquored, so if Charlie’s sober, we’re likely ahead of the game. Or it might help, who knows?

Great awareness of the time on the clock by everyone. Phaneuf knew he could afford to jump in, Moss knew where he had to be.
Why did they ask Lance Bouma what his favorite band is? Why not his favorite color? Or the air-speed velocity of a Swallow?
I don’t know…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Were you even alive when that movie came out?

Didn’t think so. Never stopped me from watching Hitchcock, though, so no different, I suppose.

Not surprised that Phoenix didn’t get much at EV. The Flames were in the hole re: Corsi in the first, and they’re only -1 after two. Even game, tie score. Seems right to me.

Tara McCool is terrible
It’s shocking that she has had a job in television for as long as she has.
These broadcasts are so mickey mouse, it’s embarassing. Glad I’m not paying for it.
Taking pointers from Ron Artest, maybe?

Ah, sorry, Colin ;-)
That story made me laugh, and yet at no point was I surprised. Ron-Ron is an odd dude, even by odd-dude standards.

Geezus I gotta phone Shaw and get my modem upgraded… their latest “network management” upgrades have made my network connection so lossy, it’s horrible…
Bursty traffic with lots of lost packets does not make a smooth video stream…
I guess I just gotta give up on watching online tonight
If I was coaching Phoenix, I think a one-shot game would be what I’d want.

President of the Coyotes, actually, but obviously not who he meant.
I hope, anyway.

Well, can’t say Im surprised.
Fairly bland effort by the Flames. Coyotes probably deserved that one, especially considering the fast whistle.
That fast whistle almost evened out the atrocious penalty call on Regehr.
The pussification of hockey continues unabated.
15 minute meltdown, Kipper flubs the quick turn around shot by Prucha, Gio gets pwned by Pyatt!?!?, no goal support and the Nashville game is history long ago. Lame.
I guess this should go in the post game….fAck.

Flames always play horrible on PPV. I’m fairly certain it’s because they’re embarrassed about the horrible production quality of the broadcasts.
Rob Kerr’s not a bad PBP guy, though. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him get a full time gig with a team at some point.
Chuckled at your comment about Kerr doing PBP… I was saying the same thing to a buddy I know (TV broadcaster) back home. Some bad stories about him though, not a nice fellow. IMO he’d be better on radio, the Bill Gates lookalike thing doesn’t go well on television. Totally agree, the production values on PPV are terrible. adtdhe.net might be poor but at least I don’t have to pay for it ….

Saw the game taped and missed Kent’s intro beforehand, but I would have completely agreed with the premise and the game played down to the expectations. I may have been tired from trying to keep up with a bunch of college kids on the ice earlier in the evening, but I kept falling asleep during this game which sums it up very well. Boring!
Although, I will say, after watching the first intermission, I think a blindfolded game of “Guess the Sutter” would be a treat. Good to see Duane sounds like Brent and Daz, right down to the sound bites.
All good things come to an end but what made me mad was the the Coyotes didn’t even play that great, we had the chances but those damn posts always mess things up and it always sucks when a former Canucklehead scores the GWG.
Get back at it on Saturday against arguably the best the NHL has to offer.
30 years of the NHL's Best Hockey, It got us through some tough times.
