Comedy SILVER out of Calgary

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Roger Millions ‏@RogMillions 18s Mike Cammalleri, big question for #Flames. Hearing significant injury to his hand. Has missed games and much of pre season.

Roger Millions ‏@RogMillions 9s Cammalleri may miss much more time. He is skating, but major issues holding his stick..etc... tough loss for rebuilding #Flames if so

So, the Flames finish 28th instead of 27th?

It figures. I took Cammalleri on a couple of my fantasy teams. I have Gioradano on a couple of them to. You've been warned dash.:

250 to 1 to win the Cup, it's tough to disagree puck.

I mainly just liked that Jay was pointing in the right direction.
They won't be an easy team to play against most nights. Don't see a heck of a lot go goals there, though.

Yes, the way Jay is pointing is well done. Short term pain for Reinhart or Ekblad gain?

Good luck to the Flames; with a roster like that, who needs enemies?

Who is going to center McKnuckles and Jackman now that Begin is gone?

Maybe Joe Colborne, I'm not sure. I just want to see the team compete hard, I'm not expecting many wins this season, but at least make it tough on the opposition.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Glad to see Joey Mac make the team dash. Good for him.

Yeah, I haven't heard who will get the start on opening night, Joey Mac has more NHL experience, but Ramo looked pretty good in the pre-season. I just wonder where the goals are going to come from.

Without Cammalleri maybe the kids.

sorry if already posted

so much for Burkie laying low

Flames' Burke: Baertschi lacks commitment - Sportsnet.ca

 

[dash]

lol - Burkie said he wasn't going to throw him under a bus and rip him and then proceeded to do just that. To Sven's credit, he took it in stride. I think expectations are so high for him because he looked great right from the start. Big season upcoming for him.

Shamlessly stolen from CalgaryPuck, but I thought it was well done - You won't recognize some of the names, the bulk of them being Calgary city council members, but it doesn't take away from the general theme:

Jay Feaster:
You know, a town with money's a little like the mule with the spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it and danged if he knows how to use it.

Bob Hartley:
Heh-heh, mule.

Jay Feaster:
The name's Feaster, Jay Feaster. And I come before you good people tonight with an idea. Probably the greatest—Aw, it's not for you. It's more a Winnipeg idea.

Mayor Nenshi:
Now, wait just a minute. We're twice as smart as the people of Winnipeg. Just tell us your idea and we'll vote for it.

Jay Feaster:
All right. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll show you my idea. I give you the Calgary Monahan!
(everyone gasps)

I've sold Monahans to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Battleford, and, by gum, it put them on the map!
Well, sir, there's nothin' on earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-two Monahan! What'd I say?

Stephen Harper:
Monahan!

Jay Feaster:
What's it called?

Murray Edwards:
Monahan.

Jay Feaster:
That's right!
Monahan!

Cast:
Monahan...monahan...monahan... (continue over the following lyrics)

Alison Redford:
I hear those things are awfully loud.

Jay Feaster:
It glides as softly as a cloud.

Ken King:
Is there a chance the track could bend?

Jay Feaster:
Not on your life, my President friend.

Fotze:
What about us brain-dead slobs?

Jay Feaster:
You'll be given cushy jobs.

Lanny McDonald:
Were you sent here by the devil?

Jay Feaster:
No, good sir, I'm on the level.

Police Chief Hanson:
The ring came off my pudding can.

Jay Feaster;
Take my pen knife, my good man.
I swear, it's Calgary's only choice!
Throw up your hands and raise your voice!

All:
Monahan...

Jay Feaster:
What's it called?
Monahan...
Once again!
MONAHAN!

Colley-Urquhart:
But McLeod Trail's still all cracked and broken.

Alderman Carra:
Sorry, "Mom", the mob has spoken!

All:
Monahan...
Monahan!!!!!!!!!
MONAHAN!!
MONAHAN!!!!!

Hartley:
Mona—D'oh

It's not going to last, but hey, why not enjoy it? Even more surprising is the team putting up four goals in both of their games their season.

I know, but as our boards resident long suffering Flames fan I felt you deserved a big FIRST PLACE shout out!
