JT must not follow the JGHL forum and thus did not see that Jon put him on the block during the playoffs, nothing but a cool G & A today in an all important Game 4. Or he's just pumping up his own stock! : ) *** Story of Game 4: - Bob forgot how to stop the puck after posting shutout in Game 3. - Flames PP runs cold, could not capitalize on three 3rd period times with the man advantage - Flames couldn't stay out of the sin bin and JT made them pay (Flames brass rumoured to be watching replays carefully to see if there is any World Cup like diving going on : ) - Avs PP strikes for two unanswered 2nd period goals - Missed opportunity to negate Avs home ice advantage. - Big Buff: 6 hits, 0 SOG - Captain Serious seriously bad on faceoffs: 6/17 - Cam "The Wall" Ward comes up big again
2 super close battles for the conference finals, as it should be!

You can't stop Cam Atkinson, you can only hope to contain him

I'm starting to flash back to Chris' former days of dominance... Me too Congrats on an awesome season, Mr. Commish, Jon - think you've maximized the value from that lineup all year long. I thought that Bob in goal might be the deciding factor were I to prevail, but that wasn't really the case - he was outdueled most nights be Ward (except for the shutout) - we had to pepper Ward every game just to attempt to get the upper hand. SUch a tight series and thought almost certainly we were headed back to the US Rockies for a Game 7 on the road. *** As for dominance! Appreciate the endorsement fellas, but an 8th overall finish in the regular season doesn't really instill thoughts of dominance. I am impressed with my boys winning 3 straight series without home-ice advantage in either, but we face yet another monumental uphill challenge against the winner of the Beasts From The Easts Game 7 tomorrow - Jim's offensive dynamo Bruins squad AND DEFENDING CHAMPS or GM El Presidente Giovanni's/Coach Ron's President Trophy winning Devlish squad...yikes! Good luck, gents!

I really thought we had a good shot at the finals, I guess it wasn't meant to be. My PK was bad when it needed to be, and we only cracked 25 shots once. Good luck the rest of the way!

I think you hit the nail on the head - I was somehow able to mostly limit shots against and kept peppering "The Wall" Ward. Good thing, as Bob's SV% leaves something to be desired in the playoffs. Will get our duel-headed monster goaltending coaches Billy Smith & Ron Hextall along with our consultant Miikka Kiprusoff (when we can ever find him not fishing in Finland) after him the next couple of days to try and shore things up! : )

Congrats Ron! It was a hell of a series! Go get that cup! What. A. Series. Well played, lads. Coach G had to pull out all stops to knock off defending champs! A great follow up season to Cup win, Jim. Goaltending depth proved to be the difference imo. Not expecting Western hospitality when my Flames hit Jur-zee! Best o' luck, Ron! After decent, but not great regular season, Flames just happy to be here!

Congrats Ron! It was a hell of a series! Go get that cup! Thanks Jim! That was some series, Chris is right, without goaltender depth not sure we could have beaten you. What a great season you had after winning it all last season! Going to be tough looking at Flames roster, be like playing an All-Star Team but we will show up even if our power play does not. Well at least we got two PP goals today when needed. But will need to get alot more to beat the hot and extremely good Flames team! Both our temas made moves to get us here! Going to be a great finals! These 7 game series are wearing my ass out!

5 games may be right if we cannot win more faceoffs, getting destroyed in Faceoffs! The only guy who should be kicking our ass in circle is Towes all others are equal to our top 3. Going to have to make a few changes on lines and other areas to compete with this All Star Team! Oh yeah, not to mention every damn series we have to be down agame or even two! Always uphill, but this is the toughest one against this amazing team!
