Comedy SILVER out of Calgary

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Yeah Olberman was calling the the guy who runs the team the worst person of the sports world for two straight days. It's a joke on his part, but whoever came up with the idea for Scorch is clueless.

Hiller was unbelievable last night. The Flames are .500. Pretty good start to the season for the Flames.

He was very good and lucky (Hawks missed a few open nets and great looks last night). And not to be "that guy", but 3 up and 2 down is .600 (lol)

/I still think the Flames will be in the lottery when it's all said and done, but I also think they won't get a sniff of McDavid or Eichel either,

They're working hard and probably overachieving so far. I can see them being that kind of team and picking in the 5-12 range. That being said they are one Gio injury away from being in serious trouble, IMO.

Not unlike the Senators to tell you the truth.

Stajan out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury, Joe Colborne has a wrist injury (unknown time frame out). And so it begins...

Going to be tough to trade Stajan back to the Leafs when he's injured

No kidding (lol) - Looking forward to see Markus Granlund though (assuming he'll be the callup from Adirondack).

Very sad news - Great player and more imporantly, a fine person.

Backlund week-to-week with an abdominal issue (had it in pre-season and tried to play through it). Ferland has been recalled.

No Stajan, Colborne, or Backlund. Even when we have centres, the hockey gods don't like it.

The Flames have placed Joe Colborne on IR and have recalled Sven Baertschi. He should be in the lineup against Les Habitants tonight.

Sven Baertschi?

God I hope Bob Cole's not doing that game.

Is the top 4 d for the Flames the best in the NHL right now? Maybe just early season exuberance, but they seem legit.

I certainly like the top 2 of Giordano and Brodie and would put them up against any other defense pairing in the league. Kris Russell and Dennis Wideman also seem to have some pretty good chemistry (and most of you guys know I never pass on a chance to pump Russell's tires). However, it's still very early and this Flames team has yet to face any of the California triad. Let's see how things are looking a month from now.

This is what happens with Rainbow Burke in charge.

from Freidman. whoa, that's a big drop in stock in a hurry

12. As the injuries mounted last week, Calgary called up Sven Baertschi from Adirondack. His numbers were ugly in the AHL, just three points (no goals) in 10 games. Even worse, a few teams that saw him were exceedingly unimpressed, with one suggesting he wouldn’t want Baertschi near his other prospects. The Flames defended the forward against accusations that his attitude was bad. “Was he unhappy to be there? Yes, initially he was, but we could understand that,” said GM Brad Treliving. “To say he was causing problems, that’s not fair.” Treliving added that there is room in Calgary for Baertschi’s skill-set. He is exempt from waivers for another year or so. That’s probably the real deadline for him in southern Alberta.
