can't wait!! many people said that Flames are gunna suck, and it was just pure luck for them last season. I want to see for myself this time.

Im a Flames fan btw.

[spyro]

i am completely pumped up for the start of the new season
cant wait!! its only a day away!!!

and even though i am a canucks fan, i do agree that flames are gonna do well

however, canucks are a way stronger team and you guys are no competition for us!

[Mugen]

Canucks are gonna suck this year.

No wins in preseason.

[Hiatus]

HOCKEY IS BACK BABYYY!!!!

lol I dont know still rooting for hometown team Montreal Canadiens... though im pretty sad they exchange Marcel Hossa for that other dude from the Rangers as for the rest im still happy... I guess we'll have to see as the season goes. Hopefully they will make it to the playoff pretty sure every team is like gonna try their best to make it to the playoff this year... everyone missed hockey! especially me i'll probably try to go watch every 3-4 matches man... HOCKEY IS BACK BABBYYY lol

ahem. we had two

[ronmexico]

The Rangers can't possibly be any worse than they were... right? At least they're younger now. I suppose that's a good sign. Nothing like missing the playoffs for almost an entire decade to kickstart the rebuilding process.

Calgary Flames!

[lui*]

i can't wait for the games to start. good form of teams, at least the teams i like, im very satisfied. cant wait

[Amicus]

i'm a Flames fan too! a few of us here already!

[Chioster]

ahem. we had two

3 to be exact. The reason why canucks went 3-2-2 is because we used only minor leaguers from the manitoba moose. Remember the game against the oilers? We used Jovo, Linden and Cloutier and we rocked them 6-2.

^err ya he's ok o_O but I didn't really listen to the game..gotta watch to believe only saw the highlights..but really Cloutier <333 lol..GO CANUCKS GO hahaa..

gotta love the sedin/carter line..=)

[Aznbanana]

Canucks need a better goalie in net to get em into the Finals o.o

Cloutier is decent, but mb he can pull off an Osgood and ride the playoffs hot

Calgary Flames to finish 1st according to Sports Illustrated


The Calgary Flames could be on their way to the Stanley Cup - if the prognosticators at Sports Illustrated are correct.


Writer Michael Farber wrote in this week's magazine that several factors boosted the Flames' chances:

-signing star right winger Jarome Iginla to a long-term deal;
-picking up his new linemates Daymond Langkow and Tony Amonte;
-and bringing in defenceman Roman Hamrlik to boost the power play.

Here's how the magazine ranked the chances of some other clubs:

2nd - Philadelphia Flyers
3rd - Ottawa Senators
6th - Vancouver Canucks
9th - Edmonton Oilers
17th - Montreal Canadiens
20th - Toronto Maple Leafs

If the predictions come true, the Canadiens and the Leafs would fail to make the playoffs.

The Calgary Flames made it to the Stanley Cup finals in 2003-2004 season. But they lost game seven to Tampa Bay by one goal.





time to put on the car flags and honk horns!!!
