Calgary Flames hockey.
Picture that in your head, and that's what tonight's game was. Shitty offense, solid defense, a bad power play, a good PK, and world class goaltending. All resulting in a 1-0 victory.
Lots of chances by the Flames in this one, and halfway through the third Jarome finally buried one for his second of the year. But of course the highlight of this game was not any of Miikka's myriad amazing saves, nor Jarome's goal, it was Dion Phaneuf's COLLOSSAL hit on career AHLer Denis Hamel. Dion just about knocked him all the way back to Binghamton.
I know what you're wondering. "Evan, how the hell did you watch this game? You don't have satellite". No I don't, but I do have a computer and a broadband internet connection, which are the requirements for a new program out that lets you watch live tv on your computer for free. This program is called TVU. Right now the quality is not so great (for fast action like hockey, anyway) and the selection of channels is slim, but they have a dedicated hockey channel which shows whatever the best game on right then is. Tonight that happened to be the OTT/CGY game so I got to see just about the whole thing. How cool is that?
Anyways, good game, always nice to get the W. Five goals in four games, and we're 2-2. LOL. Only in Calgary.
Good: Miikka, Dion, Iggy, Hammer.
Bad: Robyn leaving the game for 15 mins in the second. Scared the living shit out of me. Glad he's okay.
Ugly: The PP is just gross.
Three Stars:
3. Ray Emery
2. Dion Phaneuf
1. Miikka Kiprusoff
