I share your feelings about that cheap shot on Bourque... and this hasn't been the first time it has happened to Bourque. As far as I can see, TB had all the intentions of injuring our players look at Giordano for example. Sometimes I wish that NHL could do something about these hits on the head. Suprisingly, high sticks and serious hits on Flames players are never taken seriously but unintentional hits are.....Bravo!!

With regards to the Phaneuf trade, we can only be sorry for the decision but unfortunately cannot do anything to reverse the outcome.

Let's hope the Flames can come up with some outstanding performance and stelllar goaltending......

It is terrible that there wasn't anything called for that cheap shot on Bourque. I can guarantee that he has suffered a concussion, and who knows how long he will be out. I'm really getting pissed off with our players getting taken advantage of when they are in a vulnerable position. I feel for this team, and I like you anar am still saddened by the Phaneuf trade...

The 2004 rivalry between the two teams was conspicious and it is my conviction that the hit on Bourque as well as the penalty call on Kotalik was a deliberate attempt on the part of TB (trash bins), to get valuable players out, which raises a significant concern - The refs had again gone haywire as you indicate and surprising NHL is ignoring all the seriousness where it should actually be warranted.

Undoubtedly, the Flames had played extremely well in the first and second period, but after losing two players, I will stick up for their lack of performance in the third.

With regards to the Phaneuf trade? Only heaven knows why it happened.
