Flames ready for playoffs
March 21, 2007
I just wanted to say Darryl has done another really great job as GM this season for the Flames. I’m really liking the guys he added to our line-up for the playoff drive this year. That Wayne Primeau skates like the wind for a big guy. What a move last night for the GWG against the Blues. I never knew that Stuart was as physcial a player as he is. He is like a better version of Leopold but Canadian and bigger. Conroy and Iginla sort of rekindled the old magic as well. I think that the Conroy deal is really gonna be the one that people talk about once all is said and done in the playoffs. The year we went to the Finals he only had 8 reg. season goals. But was absolutely huge in the playoffs. So much so that the stupid Kings offered him a 4 year 16 million dollar contract he couldnt turn down. I think the Flames are hungry, focused, and confident. You simply can’t overlook the fact we’ve got one of the best groups of D in the league. One of the top 3 goaltenders, and easily the best power forward in the game today. If the 2nd line can contibute the way they have all season, look out Western conference foes. I’d like to see the Flames face the Canucks, Ducks, and anybody else on the road to the Finals. There’s no real drama left in the West cuz all the shitty teams threw in the towel. Although Colorado is making a bit of a run at that last playoff spot.Just hope the Flames get on a roll heading in, because everyone knows YOU CANT TOUCH A FLAME WHEN ITS BURNING HOT
Hey i would have to agree with you here…i was at first alittle sad to see kobasew gone, but i feel this little adjustment in the lineups have really kicked started something. i really like that conroy is back and i think sutter is wondering why he ever let him go. as for kipper i think he has fallen into a bit of a rut lately but we all know he will pull through, like you said he is one of the top 3 goaltenders in the league. i like how the whole flames team has really banded together and even when iginla was out they really stepped up ans showed that they are a great team even without their leader…haha i like your ending line and its so true..i cant wait to see what will happen in this years playoffs!
