Disco Inferno - Stampeders 7, Hawks 2

Those days were sweet. Who knew being a lazy fuck that doesn’t care was contagious?

I’m glad he didn’t, but I wouldn’t have had a problem with it if he did.

Can we please go back to Keith/Seabs, Hammer/Soup, and Hendry/Boynton?

Why does ESPN show Campbell out? Did he get hurt again? Please tell me he’s ok.

I thought the absence of hitting was creating the appearance that the Hawks weren’t putting forth the effort. Now I’m begining to realize it’s the absence of effort that’s making them seem that they aren’t putting forth the effort. I’m really glad that they cleared that up for me.

they could have lost by 6

Thus causing us more headaches and fist-shaking at their goddamn inconsistency.

GET. IT. FUCKING. TOGETHER.

So guys…only one question from Canuck fans?

Is that the team we can expect tomorrow? ;-)

Actually, not putting it that way, really. The Flames played their best of the season tonight. They were hungrier to every puck.

Have to agree on Turco though. How deflating is that, to see your vet goalie basically give up on the last two?

I like the B2B-ness of it is nice, but almost wishing the team’s did not play until Sunday, just to see if the Roxy effect would happen.

All kidding aside, I expect the usual Hawks/Canucks Tong War.

We get Crawford right?

Most embarrassing loss of the season no doubt? I know getting cock whipped by Edmonton giving up 7 hurts but this just has that extra bit of sting to it if you ask me. Hopefully someone wakes up in the locker room and says “Hmm, I guess we really have to come hard every night.”

Even towards the end of last year and early start of the playoffs I sometimes felt like these guys were skating out there like they deserved to have the cup handed to them. I say get tough and beat these guys with some sticks, starve them, take away their booze…something.

Seriously… I just don’t even know. Maybe Ladd is the equivalent to Jesus H Christ to the team’s disciples in the locker room, and that’s why he got a C in Atlanta. I just don’t fucking understand how a team this talented can look like they collectively don’t give a fuck. How hard is it to wake the fuck up?

after Kaner’s birthday party. Hockey?!?! C’mon now. This game was just to make sure they stayed loose for the Canucks. Now you don’t want to be all stiff against the Canucks.

in the post game reactions from Turco and Shooter.

Well, that’s embarrassing to say the least with 7urco getting shelled all night. I guess he couldn’t stop Joffery Reynolds receiving a beautiful pass from Henry Burris – even if he is a running back. Fuck. Me.

Q is a fuckturd and that is all. Leaves his netminder in to die and embarrassing death and let in 7? Turco, regardless of opinion, has accomplished enough in his career to deserve a better fate from his coach. The man should look over his shoulder as the hand of the grim reaper should be close as his days as the bench boss might come to an end.

Toews shouldn’t have to carry all the expectations. Were is his help? Hossa, Sharp, Brouwer (who needs a change of scenery), and Kane (remember him?) all have played, at time, like they couldn’t care less about the outcome of most games. Duncan Keith has morphed into a billy goat as he’s been a curse on the blueline all year.

I could add more but I’ll just stop there. Something tells me though that a trade is forthcoming very soon.

Another team that played at another level just because we won the Cup. If Calgary played at that level every game they would be undefeated. We are still “jelling”. Still would like to see a Rockford player or two up here with speed and talent.

except for those two on defense

Hows this whole Turco thing working out for ya????

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

Not to harp on Brouwer, but his failure to get the puck out on Hagman’s goal was absolutely pathetic, just terrible, and a good emblem for what’s been burning this team over and over again so far this year.

Anyone have team totals for turnovers-per-game so far? We have to be in the top 3 or 4 in the league. Tough to “possess” the puck when you give it away to the other team under pressure and when you can’t win board battles in the o-zone.

It’ll give him more time to catch up on Hossa’s accounting for the upcoming end of the fiscal year.

Um, the new Fiscal year just started last month on October 1 (FY-11), 10.5 months to go until the next new one!

boys and get over it. Lets light up the Nucks tonight. It’s all about the next shift, period and game. Plus, the night life is KING in Vancouver.

So they shit the bed last night. Pick up the pieces and get on with it! Do you think it could get worse?

RIP Pat Burns

I’m glad I spent the night playing Black Ops all night. Looks like I didn’t miss anything. Ugh.

….. I’m not the only one pissed off. Way out here in Long Beach, CA we’re glad to see a game in the Calgary time zone, because that way we get to see the entire game after coming hom from work. And boy, weren’t we all thrilled to see this crapfest. I realize they can’t be the team from last year, but what the hell? If they’re going to mail it inthis year, please at least fake it.

Seriously, because I’m not nearly as well versed on the ins and out sof hickey as some of you, am I wrong to curse the salary cap rules here?

it just makes for a lot of mediocre teams. Look at the NFL for example.

if it didn’t punish teams that are smart and reward incompetence. To way oversimplify it.

No vitriol for Turco? He was pretty terrible.

its not the cap its the players not playing or giving a 100% plain and simple enough of blameing the cap play like your the fucking stanley cup champs show some swagger for christs sake

……we are now the hunted

Woke up this morning and my wife asks, “What’d the Hawks do last night?” (She had a really shitty week at work and turned in extra early).
I let out a disdainful grunt and reply, “Got their ass kicked. It was a giant pile of suck right from the get go. They were just goin’ thru the motions. It was an abomination unfit for human eyes. Good thing you didn’t bother stayin’ up for that mess.”
She replied, “I thought we were past that shit.” and disgustedly stumbled downstairs to let the dog out.

I had recorded the game and watched it a bit delayed. Then stopped the recording and deleted it after Calagary scored their 5th figuring that would be the final. Imagine my surprise and disgust when I see the final was 7-2 with the Flames dropping two more on ’em in the last two minutes. All I could do was laugh and shake my head.

At least they get to try and wash this away immediately. I feel like tonight’s game could really be a turning point for the season. Another lame effort & loss tonight and I really fear for the rest of the season. It could be the tipping point from which they can’t recover.
 A solid bounce back effort & win and momentum can still be moving in the right directon with last nights debacle just a bump in the road.

We’ll see what this team is really made of tonight.
