  1. Dan Radu from Canada writes: Great game to be at last night. This division is crazy tight.

    The Flames are easily the more perplexing team in the NHL.
  2. Jasper the Black Lab from Vancouver and Elsewhere, Canada writes: After a display like that, I wonder why I still care....
  3. S M from Canada writes: It was a great game. I love going to Van games when they lose. The Vancouver fans are by far the most obnoxious in the league, and last night they left with their heads hug low.

    GO FLAMES GO!!!!
  4. Wanda Fyooka from Vancouver, Canada writes: Must be playoff time - the goons are back!!
  5. Arec Bardwin from Canada writes: It must be playoff time the Sedins won't go in the corners.
  6. larry bowe from Canada writes: Roberto may as well take time off and properly plan the nursery, practice his breathing exercises, watch birthing videos, book a ticket to Florida, any time will do, with that many rebounds and allowing Dion's goal his mind is certainly not on the job.
  7. Michael Peters from Toronto, Canada writes: Ya - the loss was Luongo's fault. He only had to make 37 saves and got totally hung out to dry by his "team" after the first period. Vancouver got out hit 29 to 7, gave the puck away 12 times to Calgary's 6, and lost the faceoff battle 34 to 25. All this and Calgary just played the night before!!!Did you see Phaneuf's goal? One of the absolute best/hardest shooters was allowed to walk in unmolested and blast it at Luongo, and it's HIS fault for not stopping it? Gawd, this guy is probably the hardest competitor on this Vancouver team and you're taking shots at him. If some of the guys out front played with as much fire and dedication as Luongo does, maybe this team is on top of the division.

    I think maybe Luongo should take a break and come back when he actually has a TEAM in front of him that can play. A team that doesn't wilt like a bunch of sissies like the current squad has a propensity to do.
  8. Golly Gee Fellas from Parksville, Canada writes: Where's Dan Vanman? Missing in action much like the Sedin Sisters
  9. Larry Hill from Canada writes: Michael Peters from Toronto, Canada think maybe Luongo should take a break and come back when he actually has a TEAM in front of him that can play. A team that doesn't wilt like a bunch of sissies like the current squad has a propensity to do I agree with you, Michael. The problem is that Lui only has 2 years left on his contract. And Nonis refuses to fix the problems!
  10. M Poland from Calgary, Canada writes: The winning goal was scored by Phaneuf after a bad line change by the Canucks. Wanda, it is coming on playoff time, the games are a wee bit more competitve. Besides, Calgary tried the rough stuff in the first only, after that we didn't need that to soften up the Sedin girls, et al.... All of our goals were scored with skilled play, something that can't be said for your team. See you next week. Bring on the Oilers! [Saddledome, HNiC, sellout, Iggy going for his 50th (again)]
  11. Jude Hannaford from Canada writes: How often does Luongo let someone score on the american league side? What a laser. Although Bobby Lou may have other things on his mind he can hardly be blamed for this one.
  12. Hap Stokes from Canada writes: Think Dion's goal was the result of Kevin Bieska breaking his stick and instead of playing Phaneuf (stick-less) heading for the bench. It was a hell'va great shot anyway.

    Bieska has not been Bieska, since he came back off that skate cut.

    Congrats Flames you deserved the win.
    Beat our Canucks in so many ways; hits,face-offs and just plain effort
    Bet the next two games won't be so easy though.
  13. Maximilian Widmaier from Vancouver, Canada writes: Good game, not that it matters. The Flames will be demolished in the playoffs and so will the Canucks if they even make it.
