Game 4: Flames 6, Hawks 4



season saving win. i'm glad that the flames are playing a team young and stupid enough to piss off jarome iginla. what a bunch of knuckle-heads. when he's mad he just wills his team to win. it's unreal. huge games from olli and nystrom as well. injuries to conroy, langkow, and bourque are cause for concern however, but i'm just happy to be even right now. it's best of 5 now and i'm predicting the winner on saturday will take the series in 7. that's usually the way it goes.

game 5: saturday night at 9pm from chicago. everyone should watch, it's the best series of the playoffs by miles.

Game 3: Flames 4, Hawks 2



well, if they were going to win a game it was going to be game 3. still miles to go so i'm not going to get ahead of myself. one thing i will say is the blackhawks deserve robyn regehr. win or lose, i really hope he can come back soon to hurt some of these hacks.

TSN has game 4 tomorrow night in calgary at 10pm.

Game 1: Flames 2, Hawks 3 - OT



if i'm anything as a hockey fan, it's loyal. i've loved the calgary flames for as long as i've loved hockey and i've stuck with them through thick and thin, including the 7 year playoff drought. so when i say that i think they're finished this year, it's not due to my wavering support of the club, it's because they're simply not that good. game 1 against the hawks was evidence of that. it's not that they lost, but how they lost. with a 2-1 lead in the third they simply sat back and stopped attacking, allowing the hawks to come in waves. why this happens in any sport i'll never understand (see italian national team). so it didn't really matter that Havlat's OT winner was clearly goalie interference because the flames had already been beaten. i have little belief that they'll be able to avoid yet another first-round exit, but that doesn't mean i'll stop watching. and it doesn't mean i'll stop hoping.

game 2 goes tonight at 9 in chicago.
