Puke 'n' rally; Flames lose


So nobody told Fistric that the only time you can hit someone over the head with a helmet is in a hardcore match. It wasn't his fault, he probably just didn't know the rules. I'm willing to let him off the hook and Nystrom should too.

The saddest thing about this game was that three expensive talents all scored for the Flames (Dion, Iggy, OJ), and it wasn't enough to beat a Dallas team that does not hold a playoff spot. The losing streak is now at eight games. What can even be done about this? Something that was brought to my attention was that when the 1986 Flames went to the Cup Finals and lost to Montreal in six games, at one point in their season they had a nine game losing streak.
If you think that is worth any merit at all, you're an idiot. It is a coincidence and nothing more, stop trying to justify to yourself that this team is any good right now. By that logic, the Oilers and Hurricanes should be 3-2 favorites to win the Cup.

Tonight the Flames have a game in Phoenix and the pay-per-view schedule couldn't have worked itself out better. I have written before that I won't watch a PPV until we win one, something we have not done yet this season, and with the way Calgary has been playing I am confident that streak will be kept alive. Right now the Flames organization and their fans are as frustrated as every car in this video.

Remi is a fucking superhero

Tonight's game is at 7:00. If you order the PPV let me know how the game was. Regardless of the outcome, the Battle of Alberta on Saturday is going to be colossal.
