The real season begins...
 

And all I can say is......

GO FLAMES!!!!!

I always love this time of year! After early playoff exits in the past two years I sure hop the Flames make a run this year. They have the talent they just need to get in the right mindset.

After our stupid Canucks lose 7 out of the last 8 games to knock themselves out of the playoffs I find myself having to cheer for the enemy.
Go IGGY!!!

I know how you feel. Calgary also seemed to be doing their best to get an early start to the golf season.

Go banana!

There's still hockey being played? huh..

I can't cheer for Calgary..just can't do it. Calgarians understand though, they know how it works here in Alberta

I hear ya! I would rather poke my eyes out with rusty nails before I would cheer for the Oilers.

Yeah I know, but I have to cheer for someone, and it won't be Ottawa or the Habs. My daughter is now living in Calgary so it'll have to be the Flames. I don't like Keenan but I do like Iginla.

I guess I'm a bad Albertan, I cheered for Edmonton when it was their turn. :redface:

I am just going to cheer for a Canadian team.....After/if the Bruins and Flyers are gone......:biggrin:

Same here. I was very impressed with Oilers in the latter part of the season and sorry when they did not make the playoff.

No one can say they they didn't try..

I'm kidding with the whole Calgary / Edmonton thing.. I had to keep up apperences. lol

The only way flames will win is if everything goes their way, if Kipper stays as hot as he has been, and if Nabokov plays like the last two games.

As much as I would love the flames to win, it just won't happen. The sharks have not lost a single game last month. I'd be surprised if flames take it passed game 6.

As much as I don't want to cheer for the Flames... if they make it to the stanley cup round I will. Still mad that the Oilers didn't make it, not that they didn't try but we were so close I could almost taste it!

GO FLAMES GO!!!

I would love to see another run for the Stanley Cup that started the whole "red mile" thing. That was a lot of fun.

I agree with you, SJ is just playing too good. Also, they've been under-achievers the last couple of years and have something to prove. They'll probably go all the way IMO

I didnt cheer for edmonton when calgary got eliminated.:mrgreen: i would never expect a SOILER fan to cheer for calgary to keep the cup in canada. or toronto for that matter but i would go for OTT or Mon in the playoffs if calgary gets worked by san jose.
