Battle Night Live Blog

7:12PM - It's on, yo. Lemme just go throw some kids in bed.

7:34PM - Stupid, stupid, stupid. Keenan goes with Kipper again tonight. If you're not going to use your backup on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, in a building where he had a shutout a couple of weeks ago, well... let's just say you forfeit the right to act surprised and offended in the future when Not Using Kipper = International Incident.

8:06PM - Prediction time! How about Calgary 3, Edmonton 1. Iginla, Cammalleri, Boyd, Nilsson. Go Flames.

8:10PM - No WAY that's Spirit of the West. How damn old am I?

8:12PM - Conroy/Iginla/Cammalleri were on 3 different lines last night.

8:15PM - Bourque/Langkow/Bertuzzi with a pretty nice shift. I've pretty much loved Bourque so far this year, and needless to say, I'm a lot more pleased with Bertuzzi than I expected to be.

8:17PM - Flames PP. It looked awfully good last night, for that first ~4 minutes at least (lots of chances, culminating in the goal by 7).

8:18PM - 1-0 Flames. A pretty dominating PP, and Bertuzzi keeps up his 82-goal pace thru 5 games.

8:22PM - You know what's annoying? Stick penalties in the offensive zone. Am I right folks? [/bad comedian voice]

8:25PM - No more blood on the 2nd PP, but a bunch more decent chances. The Flames should absolutely be better this season with the man advantage. And apparently when we get back from seeing that Scotia Visa ad for the umpteenth time this week, they get another crack at it!

8:32PM - It's incumbent on me to point out that both Prust and Nystrom are dressed, neither of Primeau/Roy are. Good shift by the 4line, drawing that too many men penalty. :)

8:34PM - Strudwick with the own goal, 2-0 Flames. Glad I'm not counting Crawford's use of the word "unfortunate" tonight, someone's really got to talk to him about that.

8:39PM - I have the same first thought every game I see Stortini for the first time: "Bet that guy has awful breath".

8:42PM - Hemsky and Gagner get the love for the breathtaking this n that, but that Hit-and-Spin move my Iginla on Mr. Lubo was sick. Also, Conroy with an extralegal-looking run at Hemsky: hasn't he heard that the Oilers have an enforcer now?

8:46PM - Camera 1 is having a hell of a time following the puck from right to left. A kink in his/her neck, perhaps? Vertigo?

8:57PM - Shots 17-3 Calgary, and the Oil blocked 10 more. Good period. Nothing interesting from Milbury and Hrudey in five minutes, which is too bad, they're usually good for at least one take.

9:04PM - Just about the start of the 2nd. Fairly quiet night around teh web, typical for both (A) a weekend and (B) games where the Oilers are losing.

9:10PM - There's the perfect example of why these Oilfan revenge fantasies about MacIntyre running so-and-so through the boards are absurd: SMac couldn't even successfully run a stationary Cory Sarich.

9:15PM - Wow! Brandon Prust's most successful fight ever! Also, notwithstanding my previous comment, nice hit by MacIntyre -- I had no idea. Also impressed that Boyd went for it anyway, he saw what was coming.

9:20PM - Go Time goes top corner, 2-1 Flames. Comes at the end of a good PK + good half shift for the Flames, but that was a bad breakdown to let Moreau walk out and take a clear shot from there.

9:24PM - Moss sent in alone, but wobbles on an edge, then can't beat Garon. Prust out with a "bad back" apparently, which should be fine since he wasn't bound to be getting many more shifts anyway.

9:27PM - Conroy with the EXACT SAME ERROR as last Saturday, but this time it's Fernando instead of Hank Sedin. 2-2 Tie.

9:30PM - erk? Giordano and Kipper both get pwned by Siciliano, 3-2 Oilers.

9:36PM - MacT after the Grebs penalty: "Charlie? What's happening? Explain to me what's going on, Charlie?"

9:40PM - Flames with a pretty good 4-on-4 PP here, but no friends. Time for an extremely short 5-on-4 now that Bertuzzi is back out of the box.

9:52PM - Yeah, so not quite as good a period. I wonder what Five Hole Fanatics thinks about Conroy's performance as the Iginla centre? If only he had written about this issue once or twice before.

In unrelated news, Alex Tanguay was 2-0-2, +3 tonight, and his line with the mostly written-off Saku Koivu and the heretofore undistinguished Guillaume Latendresse has been one of the best in the Eastern Conference.

9:57PM - Should be an interesting 3rd. This is the kind of game where the losing fans just hate the team when they go to bed, because they were dominating and had it in hand.

10:07PM - Kipper needs a re-boot. He looked absolutely clueless on that Nilsson breakaway. Or, they could just keep trying the same thing as they have been for a year or so, and just assume that playing his way out of it is the way to go.

10:17PM - Speaking of Mark Lee (in the comments) I just enjoyed his "And Garon stands tall!" while Garon was on his belly covering the puck.

10:22PM - "Garon, relentless with the stopping, and the pucks, and the hoiven claven.."

10:33PM - Love how Marc Crawford doesn't understand the 4v4 rule ("Iginla can't come out until after the whistle.") He was a coach or something, wasn't he?

10:34PM - That's a bad weekend for the Flames. And the Oil hasn't looked this good since the Lupul team started 6-2.

10:47PM - Here's the interesting figure from tonight's game. Numbers at EV only:

Goals: 0 (Cgy) - 3 (Edm)
Saved Shots: 21-19
Missed Shots: 9-9
Shots that were Blocked: 22-6

Amazing.

10:51PM - Tonight's moment of Frank Mactavish: saying he called (and calls) the 1st period timeout to settle himself down, not just the team.

11:19PM - So being a Flames fan, I'm not too inclined to panic at a bad start (three seasons ago, they also started 1-3-1, and ended up winning the division by 8 points), but of course I'm concerned. I liked splitting up Iginla and Langkow (and expected as much in the offseason), and I thought that -- Conroy excepted -- most of the forwards looked pretty decent tonight.

The first of the two things are that it's a bit of a Chinese fire drill in the defensive end too often. I do think this will improve, and substantially, but sooner would be better than later. The second is obviously Kipper. He isn't terrifying me out there, and I think Hrudey was basically correct pre-game when he said that Kipper hasn't been as bad this season as his numbers would indicate, but jeez. If you had, uh, a friend who was concerned in July that Kipper might have lost the plot, or at least declined irreversibly, what would you show him from this season to ease his mind?

Onward, we venture outside the NW Division for 12 of the 13, where perhaps the lads will find their way. Thanks for hanging out tonight, everybody. Go Flames.

LIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEE Blog.
 


Which section are you sitting in at Rexall?
 


Which section are you sitting in at Rexall?

Ha. No way man, I control my own life, man. I say who, I say when.. I say who...
 


I'm also there. Live blogging for BoA's comment section via my blackberry behind the perogy stand.

Gotta keep moving though...
 


This is like 'Blade Runner'. Except stupid.

Hey, wait...
 


Watching the Canadiens game, it occurs to me that the French are the only people left that still sing the "Na-na-na Hee-ey Goodbye" song.
 


that's because they have no class
 


that's because they have no class

Not quite what I was getting at.
 


I was just commenting to my habs fan other that I thought that song was to be reserved for an 'it's pretty much wrapped up now in the series' moment.

I might as well have asked why men are always wrong...
 


Stortini is in for Gagner. That's a huge upgrade.

And no Souray. Shocker.
 


The Flames cannot stop Zach Stortini. They can only hope to contain him.
 


Spirit of the West is still around? Huh.
 


"Miikka Kiprusoff has been known to have slow starts to a season", Mark Lee?

Also, when was the last time I saw both guys waved out of the circle on the opening faceoff?
 


The Oilers have taken ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the penalties so far this game! What bullshit!
 


And Bert continues his hellacious 82 goal pace.

Go Flames.
 


I still think Bertuzzi is fat.
 


Bertuzzi? Seriously?
 


!
 


Oh I see, the refs want to call everything tonight.
 


Own Goal!!

And I think Phaneuf is going to get it. And another point for the Flames' leading scorer, Todd Bertuzzi (5 words that I never expected to follow each other in the same sentence)
 


I forgot how losing feels unpleasant.
 


You must have a really awful memory, Mike!
 


You must have a really awful memory, Mike!

Brthzt!

[spews coffee all over his monitor in reaction to that zinger]
 


Good thing the 2-0 lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey. Flames made a big mistake scoring another goal there. Being up 1-0 is okay. Being up 2-0? Untenable.
 


4-2 Sox
 


I love how Gilbert gets a penalty for doing the exact same thing that was done to Hemsky a couple minutes prior.

These refs are fucking pathetic. Combine that with the Staios "penalty" and the Flames don't have much to be proud of... lucky bounce and clearly some good head before the game started.
 


Man, I hate the Sox. And their fans. Especially at Rogers Centre.

How are they supposed to be any different than Yankees fans? Human pieces of garbage.

(You heard me, Grabia!)
 


Mike, you gotta read this.

"It is probably somewhat unfair to say that Red Sox fans are the worst sub-species of human in the world. Turbofolk-listening Serb thugs are certainly more violent, though they do radiate more intelligence." It goes on!
 


"It is probably somewhat unfair to say that Red Sox fans are the worst sub-species of human in the world. Turbofolk-listening Serb thugs are certainly more violent, though they do radiate more intelligence." It goes on!

That's beautiful. You know what Massholes remind me of with their perverse, outdated self-image of proud underdogs? Canadians on Whyte Avenue during Canada Day.
 


Is it just me or are the announcers even worse than usual this game?
 


SMac couldn't even successfully run a stationary Cory Sarich.

Care to revise that statement?
 


Is it just me or are the announcers even worse than usual this game?

You know it's bad when you miss Cole and Neale.
 


CHOPPER!!!
 


CHOPPER!!!

Ah, it seems so easy now.
 


2-2. San Pisani. Most dangerous lead in hockey. I told you. ;)
 


Saint him now
 


Sam Cogliano!
 


WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 


Is Prust supposed to be any good for a fourth liner or is he simply just betetr than Roy?
 


Andrew "Marchant Without the Possession Skills" Cogliano

You know, it's not too late to turn Face here, Matt. You could smash a Flames fan over the head with a chair, rip off your jersey, and reveal the Oilers jersey you have on underneath.


Ahh, I love you Todd Bertuzzi.
 


And a bad penalty by Todd Bertuzzi ... that sentence makes a little more sense than 'scoring leader Todd Bertuzzi' ...
 


Some dink in my office pool just picked up Bertuzzi.
 


you know, the unvarnished bias from these announcers is getting to be source of high mirth at my house tonight.
 


You know, it's not too late to turn Face here, Matt.

That was a classic Marchant-type goal, which you'd know Andy if you hadn't been a Hurricanes fan back when Marchant was an Oiler.
 


Awww, the Flames are an unhappy team.
 


Bottom of the ninth boys. Bottom of the ninth. Evan Longoria at the plate to face Papelbon.
 


And fuck you mike w. Blue Jays fans have no soul. They clap when they're told, they cheer for the office supply contest and they wear a constant look of puzzled bemiusement at the events taking place on the field.
 


That was a classic Marchant-type goal, which you'd know Andy if you hadn't been a Hurricanes fan back when Marchant was an Oiler.

And Fenwick is battling his way out of the corner, folks!

I'm off to ball hockey. Have a gooder, friends.

GOIL.
 


Sox do it. From 1100:1 against or so, their odds of winning the WS are now down to about 4:1 against. I love this team.
 


And a bad penalty by Todd Bertuzzi ...

Like I said last night, the guy leads the world in bonehead penalties. That one was 100 feet from his net and 50 feet from the puck, just a blatant slewfoot for no reason whatsoever. What a muttonhead.
 


You know what's annoying? Stick penalties in the offensive zone. Am I right folks?

And what is UP with these airline peanuts?
 


I can't wait for tomorrow's media narrative of MacIntyre shifting the momentum.
 


Mark Lee is ridiculous. He does know that Calgary is located within the boundaries of the Dominion of Canada, doesn't he?

I swear, if the Oilers get another goal tonight, Mark is going to ejaculate on the spot.
 


Question for Flames fans: Assume that this is it for Kipper and he's really this bad now. Does ownership buy him out or send him to the minors?
 


"unmolested"

And I'm sure Staios appreciates it.
 


I was wondering if I was the only person who heard that.

"Unmolested".

Wow.
 


Even with those ridiculous shoulder flashes to remind him, Lee fails.
 


heheh...steaming...
 


Grease Trap beat me to it, but there must be another connotation for a Steaming Nilsson, Mark Lee.
 


"This line from Edmonton...buzzing in the Calgary end..."

Yes, I'm 12 years old.
 


"The Dominion of Canada" hasn't existed since 1982.

Also, "unmolested" is a perfectly legitimate word choice in non-sexual contexts.
 


I tuned into this one late but my sense is that the MacT Blender is set to puree tonight. Does that sound right to anyone else?

Ooooh...Iginla is learning some tricks from Bertuzzi. Pretty soft diving call on Cole. Way to show some balls ref.
 


Have they changed the rule so that the 4 on 4 extends to a whistle? That doesn't make any sense.
 


Evidently not. Commentator is a moron.
 


Four and zip. Wow. Quite a start for the Oilers.
 


"The Dominion of Canada" hasn't existed since 1982.

Horse puckey. Section 3 of the BNA Act is still in full force. The term "Dominion" has never been repealed at law, it's just not used much.
 


Four and zip. Wow. Quite a start for the Oilers.

Who are these guys??

Unbeaten??
 


Beauty.

It was the workers tonight according to our crack commentators...
 


Hearty congratulations to the Karelian Konklin on having his best game of the year.
 


You'll pay for that Lupul remark, Matt.

You'll pay!
 


"Also, "unmolested" is a perfectly legitimate word choice in non-sexual contexts."

I contend this may too be "horse puckey." Or at least it shifts the dialogue of those contexts to a more sexual place.
 


Cosh: Section 3 authorizes the monarch to declare the creation of a dominion consisting of Canada (i.e. upper and lower), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, with said dominion being called Canada. It doesn't mandate that the name of the country is "the Dominion of Canada". Part VII of the Canada Act, 1982 makes it clear that the name of the country is "Canada".

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to set fire to a phone booth.

GOILERS!!!!
 


And Scott: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/molested

Take note of the first definition.
 


Oh no, I recognize the formal definition. But language ought to be defined by usage and while I suppose it's possible to imagine a context in which "molest" wouldn't immediately conjure up sexual imagery, commentary on a game that will have many young men and women watching is not that context.
 


Cosh: Section 3 authorizes the monarch to declare the creation of a dominion consisting of Canada (i.e. upper and lower), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, with said dominion being called Canada. It doesn't mandate that the name of the country is "the Dominion of Canada".

So your argument is, the official name of the country was NEVER the Dominion of Canada, ESPECIALLY not after 1982?

Try not to set that phone booth on fire from the inside.
 


Gee, Keenan seems to think the "interesting stat" is that his team got shut out at even strength in back-to-back games.
 


Did anyone see Ron MacLean making fun of 99th street b-roll? I have the clip up on CinO.

We wonder why free agents don't want to sign in Edmonton.
 


Gee, Keenan seems to think the "interesting stat" is that his team got shut out at even strength in back-to-back games.

I was very confused by that comment of his, what with it not being true and all.
 


That Matt guy had some much bravado early on;)
 


Danny Gallivan used to say "unmolested" a lot. Of course, that was a more innocent time.

I miss Danny, he used to roll out the polysyllables at the most exciting moments.
 


We wonder why free agents don't want to sign in Edmonton.

I hope by now we spend more time wondering why so much time and effort is spent talking about it (the After Hours segment with Cole was yet another wheedlefest).
 


I wonder what Five Hole Fanatics thinks about Conroy's performance as the Iginla centre? If only he had written about this issue once or twice before.

It's to the point where I think Im getting "punked" Keenan. can there be any other explanation?
 


GOILERS!

Which section are you sitting in at Rexall?

That's the GestapOil posing as Andy Grabia.

I had to watch this game on the 13-inch joke of a TV downstairs because my folks were watching stuff upstairs.

I had to lean in close to the TV to locate that puck. But boy was it worth it. This game was a doozey and we further realised how important guys like Moreau, Pisani, and Garon are to this team. Also important was the lack of a Sheldon Souray character and the re-emergence of Ladislav Smid.

Bertuzzi and co. were playing so well... what happened? Right, Kiprusoff happened. I can understand for the Moreau and Pisani goals... but to be owned so badly by Cogliano... and the MacIntyre fight was rather lopsided as well. Let's hope Prust and Boyd make it to the infirmary.

P.S. Glencross looked pretty good tonight - can we have him back?

See ya Flamers at the next BoA! :-D

GOILERS!
 


You Flames fans remind me of a women always finding something to bitch about - Referees Friday night and commentators on Saturday night... nice prediction once again - you lose again biatches !!

Man up award winning blogger ...

4-0 Oilers = The Truth
(Don't be afraid of it)
 


The Flames cannot stop Zach Stortini. They can only hope to contain him.

LOL!
 


Can we please have matt update his post on how having a tough guy in the line up is totally useless??



Because having a game changing hit & fight against a divisional rival for a weekend sweep of your biggest rival might just be enough for a updated post on how sometimes they are valuable and can be quite usefull in there role.


And maybe you could do another post on how having a weaker, smaller, more pathedic "enforcer" say for a random example..... Prust, can actually hurt the team.


Just a thought
 


Matt needs a break after the BS he blogged this w/e ....

Blog on award winner as eveyone shits the bed once in a while ...
