Welcome to FlamesForum!

Kind of. Monday’s colour commentary for the PPV game against Colorado will be conducted by none other than the Fleury man himself. I think that in itself is reason to hook it up. Hope he does well.

Evidently the Calgary prospects in net aren’t that great. Daryl Sutter announced Miikka Kiprusoff as the goalie for the foreseeable future, acknowledging him as a key component of the Calgary Flames for many years to come. The deal can extend up to six years and will pay him less than 6 million a year. Sources said earlier that Kiprusoff was demanding upwards of 7 million. Evidently they were wrong.

Here are some articles you may have missed talking about the much anticipated season opener:

• Finding the right mix and chemistry will be key.
• Keenan’s role this coming year to turn the tides on the road. Even a Q&A with the coach.
• Top ten games to watch this year according to one writer. I don’t think these are really the top ten (in name maybe).
• Line combos and chemistry will be key as well.

Looks like the odd man in will be Warren Peters at 4th line C. This is of course until Lombardi gets back from apparent injury. The opening day line-up should look like this:

Tanguay-Langkow-Iginla

Huselius-Conroy-Nolan

Nilson-Yelle-Moss

Primeau-Peters-Godard

On Defence:

Phaneuf-Sarich

Regehr-Aucoin

Warrener-Eriksson

• Feeling out process begins as players learn about Keenan.
• Keetley plays in first pre-season game after Curtis M is sacked (in the nuts). Also includes post-game quips on the first game.

Here is the complete schedule for the upcoming Sportsnet TV coverage for the Calgary Flames. Yet again Calgary is the least covered team in the West with only 47 games (compared to 53 to the Oilers, correct me if I’m wrong). I guess Sportsnet likes losing money, Calgary has a bigger fan base by now in the West.
