Not sure what to think about KK tonight, but I sure hope that having 100 people there will help give the guys a boost. Hoping anyways.
Hasn’t worked with guys like Blair Jones and Blake Comeau but I know what you’re saying and, yes, we can hope.

Tonights game might be less fun for me, I’ve decided that till I go on Vacay to drop some extra kilos they’ll be no booze by myself :( meaning no more drinking at home while watching the game. I mean I was averaging 3beers on a random night (weekends excluded)
That’s just the usual for being a Flames fan.

those 2 weeks in january are awful. but i’m also getting fat-due-to-booze.

I mean I did the math and I was dropping 500cals a night (min ave), I just figured I cut that out. I might splurge and have one Courvasier XO tho…
jesus. I need to stop boozing apparently
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:08 PM PST up reply actions
if you’re dropping 500 min, I’m probably doing the equivalent of a full day’s worth
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:12 PM PST up reply actions
esp because I drink cider too, which has way more sugar
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:12 PM PST up reply actions
500 cals is about 3 beer, and thats just the ave night, almost always on a game night or weekend its more like 6+. Hence why I’m laying off. I would do more but I have this bad habit of being stuck at work for 9hrs a day. Doesn’t stop me at lunch the days I don’t go to the gym tho… which I’ve also cut back recently :(
Hey guys, good luck next period.
Pleeeease please please beat these fuckers.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
Yeah, I saw that game! I was thrilled with the outcome. Do they seem tired?
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
they seem talented. where the flames are, unfortunately, not.
by walkinvisible on Feb 3, 2012 7:02 PM PST up reply actions
2nd end of b2bs are always scary… teams are either tired and play like shit, or come out screaming. Maybe this period they’ll lose any momentum they had last period.
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
we can only hope. if the team’s going to be mediocre, I’d rather they win then lose.
I realize that doesn’t make sense but zero fucks are given
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:11 PM PST up reply actions
Winning is always better.
On a different note, you guys have been REALLY active with trading in the last month, eh? How’s that been working out? Thumbs up/down?
Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!
-nashvillepredators-
mostly minor moves aside from the Cammy trade, and that one was all good, Bork just didnt give a damn anymore
yeah, just fringe guys. getting younger, sure, but not really getting better.

wait a sec. hold on. did olli just say the key to scoring is a big mac meal from mcdonalds ?!? i’ve turned the corner. i love him now.
he definitely did. apparently (according to that interview that just aired) gretzky would beat a slump with a burger.

Missing most of this one. Snap judgement on Kolanos?
by SarahM on Feb 3, 2012 6:53 PM PST via iPhone app reply actions
Playing fairly safe, but nothing too crazy offensively or defensively.
by DownGoesLuongo on Feb 3, 2012 6:54 PM PST up reply actions
hey sarah: i’m in vancouver sunday and monday. let’s hook up.
by walkinvisible on Feb 3, 2012 7:03 PM PST up reply actions
i feel like those are the best. it doesn’t bother you by being all on while you’re trying to sleep, but makes sure you don’t run into a closed door, etc. (i can’t think of any other advantage.)
good evening, everyone.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
see but I would want it to light up the area that is before it so I don’t walk into any hazards, but it doesn’t do that
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 8:10 PM PST up reply actions
you actually have to cross it’s path to activate it
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 8:11 PM PST up reply actions
i just realised what you need: the thing that you clap on and clap off. i don’t know what it’s called. maybe “the clapper”.
"The hard... is what makes it great."
as opposed to the clap which I do not want
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 8:14 PM PST up reply actions
because most of the players arent really that good
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:23 PM PST up reply actions
so I checked out the Outdoor rink in Cranston the other day, nicest outdoor rink ive seen in my life, they zamboni it and have cooling coils embeded in the ice, I was drooling a bit, I shall return and pay the $5 to play on it some random night from 7:30 to 9:30
5 bucks? f that. I got 5 different odr’s within 5 minutes of me hurr
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:24 PM PST up reply actions
the one in sbank is free too, and it’s covered and has the coils as well as being bonied

when have the flames ever played any thing except boring hockey
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:25 PM PST up reply actions
if ward takes over that’s going to be a disaster. dude has never been a head coach anywhere except for this year in abby and that team is being carried by ahl vets more then anything he’s doing. a couple more years, I think.
apparently he’s got a great hockey mind, though. so who knows
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:29 PM PST up reply actions
I would second the ‘no’ to Ward as well. Let him flourish at the AHL level for a few years, and if we’re still killing coaches, bring him up. He’ll have had a bunch of the players on the team by then too.
by DownGoesLuongo on Feb 3, 2012 7:30 PM PST up reply actions
I don’t really know. hartley’s really the only “name” but he kinda sucks. I’d assume some assistant.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:35 PM PST up reply actions
so I was thinking about when would be a good game to go to Shanks South for an away game and after looking at the away schedule I noticed on March 24th we play Dallas
1) its a Sat
2) the game starts at 12pm (early end, Steinberg could drink later)
3) it’ll be a hoot, Ill make JazzyV drink free Pilsner
DONT KID YOURSELF, the FREE will trump the PILSNER
free trumps pretty much anything. I’m down

every day is an ideal day for a PFS visit, if you ask me.
by walkinvisible on Feb 3, 2012 7:36 PM PST up reply actions
(wink wink) IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Ya but he’s only there on away games and honestly weekdays are less cool when I get up at 5:40am the next day
I thought I’d plant the bug in your ears here. you crazy kids have the contacts, I’m a nobody, I’ll let you get the word out. Maybe a htp post? I mean the last one was mid dec if I recall correctly ;p
dec 23rd was the last official one, indeed
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 7:41 PM PST up reply actions
yeah, we’re probably about due. i’ve got a ton of shit i’m supposed to write. including arena reports for MSG, staples & bank atlantic ctrs.

oh he’s only got 4 goals! yeah no matter that he’s got the 2nd hardest ice time in the entire god damn conference
Honestly, I saw 600 goals and 1200 points in him…
by DownGoesLuongo on Feb 3, 2012 7:45 PM PST up reply actions
keith jones’ logic: you’re trying to make the playoffs, so make a move that will get you closer to the playoffs in the off season. DERP
Keith Jones is TSN’s version of Milbury.
by DownGoesLuongo on Feb 3, 2012 7:47 PM PST up reply actions
HERP, no shit right? Whatever, I’m fucked this season if we make the playoffs anyways. My vacation is scheduled from 18-27 of April, pretty much perfectly overlapping games 3, 4, and 6 of the first round if we did make it… I own a season ticket seat I wont be able to use, I might hang myself if we actually make it.
Naw, I have hockey in about an hour. :(
by DownGoesLuongo on Feb 3, 2012 8:03 PM PST up reply actions
ah. I’m probably not going, was just wondering.
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
haha wow. did he send you a pic of the medal with your name around it
by Justin Azevedo on Feb 3, 2012 8:28 PM PST up reply actions
he doesn’t get a medal, just another stripe.
by walkinvisible on Feb 3, 2012 8:32 PM PST up reply actions
but i found it interesting that he emailed me at 6:45am UK time. i won’t elaborate on what i think that means.
by walkinvisible on Feb 3, 2012 8:35 PM PST up reply actions
my friend demands i post this screencap of olli here: http://i.imgur.com/Z3ZfS.jpg :O

Hands go uuppp..... AND THEY STAY THERE!

Dear Internet,
I will be very disappointed if the Jokinen flying waffle does not turn into a flying big mac.
