^33 in January.

^^ Thanks.

Giordano could start skating tomorrow, according to Roger Millions. Also, Babchuck has started skating with the team yesterday.

Great news!

Unfourtantly, that means either Brodie and/or Smith could be sent down. (along with Carson and Piskula)

Gio could be back in a few weeks then? that's awesome, I figured he was done for the year.

I wasn't sure about watching the Wild live, but it turned out to be a decent game (aside from the four douchenozzles behind me that argued about iPhone/Android crap for the last two periods. They didn't stop talking for 60 minutes. They even congratulated each other on speedy piss breaks.

Budaj with his first (and possibly only) start this month.

BTW-Price became the 7th goalie in NHL history to play at least 30 games in 5 different seasons by the age of 24.

lol, did anyone see that crazy Flames fan dancing during the Wild game?

I prefer watching the Monkey ride a dog at the Denver Broncos game on Sunday now that was a halftime show

Yes, I was at the game. I blame him for the Wild goal (scored as everyone was distracted by his first dance).

I'm pretty sure that's his job though, he was dancing all game in different sections tossing t-shirts to the crowd.

Nicko999 · #**1830** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 3:38 AM**

Wow, this team is so out of shape it's ridiculous.
I'm repeating myself but we did blow ANOTHER lead.

I think we've now failed to keep a lead in about 15 different games (or maybe more).

We have a .444 pt % when we score first.

That means we're playing below .500 even in games where we score first(so therefore we start with an advantage).

freeweed · #**1831** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 3:40 AM**

Yeah, that guy is obviously either paid or trying out for some sort of job. I personally found him annoying after a couple of times; I hope this isn't a regular thing.

Minny games this year have almost been.. exciting. Which is a 180 degree change from the past. Naturally they're leaving our division next season just as they stop being the most boring team on the planet to watch.

I can't see Babchuk replacing either Brodie or Smith, unless Sutter/Feaster have started taking some seriously powerful drugs. Those 2 guys are arguably our best 2 defensemen on many nights.

Ayreonaut · #**1832** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 5:03 AM**

Haha! Kronwall crushes Kesler, and the latter gets 2 minutes for being a little bitch.

logan5 · #**1833** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 5:20 AM**

Hansen scores on Howard short handed. Nice hit by Kronwall I suppose, then Kronwall bitches out on Kesler - he won't fight!

Why should he have to? I hate this clean heat > fight bs.

logan5 · #**1835** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 5:53 AM**

He did leap up at Kesler, but that's fine, I still didn't mind the hit. If Kesler wants to drop the gloves in response, that's fine too. Hockey's a violent game. Kesler gets a stupid roughing penalty for responding to Kronwall, but then Howard gets no penalty for his response. Kinda dumb by the ref. And not one single PP for the Canucks, but a pretty good game overall.

Friday night with the Flames in town should bring pretty good energy to the building. The Flames could get crushed.

Fairly likely. We're home to Detroit on Thursday, so the Flames will be tired. The Flames have proven they can compete with 1st place teams like Chicago and Minnesota, but Vancouver's had their number for a while now.

I just hope it isn't another 5-1 final.

Oh, you optimistic Flames fans...

Oh wait.

7-2 Canucks. If Calgary pulls a rabbit out of its hat.

Calgarian · #**1838** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 3:17 PM**

The Flames really need to step it up against the Canucks, that team is in their heads!

freeweed · #**1839** Posted **Dec 22, 2011, 6:41 PM**

Supposedly some protests are being organized for Habs games because they hired a coach who can't speak French.

I wonder if anyone has pointed out that half the players can't, either. You know, the guys the coach is actually responsible for communicating to.

^Riots, I want to see riots.
