[quote="Airborne Butters":92bdf]goal Tampa..[/quote:92bdf]

yay

holy fuck.

who saw andrew ference beat the living shit out of cory stillman? What a fight. I have to find that baby on the net so I can watch it over and over. I've never seen ference fight before, but man I think he could take Oliwa's position as enforcer. That was about the only thing to cheer for.

First two periods were good. We just couldn't finish. Third sucked ass except for the fights. Hopefully we'll come fired up for game 3. Its gonna be nuts at the dome. I was there for the game tonight. Holy shit, the place was packed. I'm guessing 15-17,000 people in the dome to watch the game on tv's. incredible. it was awesome. I wouldn't be suprised if the dome was louder than the TB arena. Took me half an hour to get a friggin hamburger before the game!

CAn't wait for game three. This is turning into a series!

I don't know who was fighting at the end of the game, due to my bowels needing to let loose, but I came back and saw some Calgary player squashed under a Tampa player. It was basiclly the Tampa player beating the shit outta the Calgary player.

don't see why stillman was fighting...he is a much more skilled player than ference

Ference is a defenceman. rolleyes:

And he consistently plays 20-25+ minutes per game. He's not paid to score goals, his job is to keep the puck out of our zone, which he did all year since we had one of the lowest Sthots against per game as well as GAA.

Oh, and it was more than 19,000 people who went to the dome tonight to watch the game on the jumbotron:

"More than 19,000 fans crammed the Saddledome Thursday, turning it into the world's largest rec room during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final."

Here you go, mang...second link: http://www.hockeyfights.com/videos/

That site is pure gold. rock:

ROFL I love it. Ference picks Stillman back up off the ground.

Thanks. rock:

And here we go...why Tampa deserves the Cup...and why I want them to win...in these two words.

Dave Andreychuk

He deserved it in 1993...and he didn't get it...But this man definally deserves one before his career is over.

You will always be a leaf in my heart though.

awww, poor davey. he's gonna have to wait another 22 years.

i'm sure any team would want a guy like him on there team though.

huge fag

whenever the cameras on Andreychuck he's shooting snot out of his nose...kinda weird. They're big suckers too oOo:

[quote="Airborne Butters":21551]whenever the cameras on Andreychuck he's shooting snot out of his nose...kinda weird. They're big suckers too oOo:[/quote:21551]

I think he has the record for overtime goals now or something...I know he is either tied or has the recoprd for something...

Dave Lowry. Even more of a leader than Andreychuk.

I have a feeling


Friday, May 21, 2004

By ALLAN MAKI
From Friday's Globe and Mail


Calgary — As soon as she picked up the telephone yesterday morning and heard the voice on the other end, Mary Louise Barlass chuckled and said, ''I had a feeling you were going to call me.''

A feeling? Ms. Barlass has the kind of feelings that make people sit up and take notice. She has feelings that come to her on command or out of the blue, premonitions on tomorrow's news today, which is how she felt obliged to predict that a black hockey player, a superstar, would lead the Calgary Flames to the Stanley Cup.

That may not seem like much of a prediction now, given everything Jarome Iginla has done for the Western Conference champion Flames. But here's the kicker: Ms. Barlass made her call before the Dallas Stars traded Mr. Iginla to Calgary. She made it when he was still in junior, playing for Kamloops of the Western Hockey League.

She made it on Sept. 10, 1995, the day I met her to talk about her first sporting prophecy: The Calgary Stampeders' star quarterback, Doug Flutie, was going to suffer an injury and would be lost for much of that Canadian Football League season.

She knew because she'd had a feeling. She'd even called McMahon Stadium to pass along her concerns that Mr. Flutie, who had been stunningly healthy throughout his college and professional career, was about to go down.

And guess what? It happened. Mr. Flutie suffered an elbow injury within weeks of Ms. Barlass's call, underwent surgery and was replaced with backup quarterback Jeff Garcia.

When Ron Rooke, the Stampeders's media relations director at the time, told me about "the strangest thing happening," I tracked down Ms. Barlass, who allowed that she wasn't much of a sports fan and didn't know the names of teams operating outside the province.

Asked whether she had anything to say about the Flames, who had just opened training camp, Ms. Barlass said, "I see a black player leading Calgary to the cup."

"Are you're talking about hockey or football?" I asked.

"Not football," she replied. "I see a black player scoring goals and leading the Flames to the Stanley Cup."

That player, Mr. Iginla, is now the toast of the town, bigger even than Lanny McDonald was when he helped the Flames win their first Stanley Cup in 1989.

Yesterday, car horns were still honking and the city was still buzzing after Wednesday night's elimination of the San Jose Sharks, which began with Mr. Iginla scoring his playoff-leading ninth goal.

The victory earned the Flames the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, a nice-looking trophy named after the former NHL president, and gave the players a well-deserved day off.

All of them stayed away from the Pengrowth Saddledome as ordered. Many vowed to sleep for as long as they could before taking in last night's Eastern Conference clash between the Philadelphia Flyers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Tracked down once again, Ms. Barlass said yesterday that she was right and also wrong about her feelings.

"I thought the Flames would win the cup in 1996, but that was the year Mr. Iginla first played for the Flames [he appeared in two playoff games against the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring a goal and an assist]," Ms. Barlass said. "Later, when I saw him, I understood he'd be an all-time star and would take them to the cup."

All right, so who is Ms. Barlass and why does she have a better handle on sports predictions than a Las Vegas bookie, the Amazing Kreskin or that silly, wheel-of-fortune-spinning monkey on TSN?

Ms. Barlass was born in Edmonton and raised in Calgary. Her father was a doctor who practised in Alberta and Saskatchewan. As a youngster, she said, she was "always different, never part of a group."

She played a few sports in school and was good at them. Whenever she was a captain and had to choose a team in physical education class, she always made a point of taking "the loser of the school with my first pick. We always won, and it was good for them."

Ms. Barlass said she can't remember a time when she didn't have the feelings that made her different. They would just come to her, and later, as she got older, she would do psychic readings for friends and clients. She has since stopped doing readings and has taken to writing in the hope it will lead to a career.

"I would like to be known as a humanitarian," insisted Ms. Barlass, who has adopted a foster child in Tanzania. "I have a tremendous amount of compassion. So when I see something that bothers me, I respond. That's why I called the football team."

Responding to sports-related feelings is not a regular thing for Ms. Barlass, although she gave it her best yesterday when asked what we should expect in the days and weeks ahead.

"I like Don Cherry," she said. "I'm going to miss him."

Does that mean he won't be back on Hockey Night in Canada next season?

"Unless they meet his pay demands, he's gone," she said.

What about the Stanley Cup?

"[The Flames] won't be playing Philadelphia. They'll be playing that other team [the Lightning]. I see a really big fight in the third game. There's a tall player [for Tampa] and he's angry. He has his stick in the air and he's holding it like a sword."

As for which team will win the cup, the woman who predicted nine years ago how an all-time star would lead the way said the answer to that is poignantly clear.

"I see the Flames taking it hands down," she said. "I see them going down in history as one of the better teams, I really do."


=================
I'm a skeptic, but I will be looking out for someone on TB to be holding their stick like a sword. I'm thinking Roy. This article was from just after CAlgary beat SJ. I think its more relevant now because I can see a big fight breaking out in game 3. Anyway, I hope she's right that Calgary will win the cup. Kinda spooky.

[quote="Tripper.exe":95294]woah what is this, a cult?[/quote:95294]

no... it's hockey... and if you don't know/care about it, then don't post in this thread...

one thing I gotta say about Calgary is the fan want the cup more then the Tampa fans it seems.

[quote="Airborne Butters":6d00d]one thing I gotta say about Calgary is the fan want the cup more then the Tampa fans it seems.[/quote:6d00d]

Well that's obvious...but I believe Tampa as a hockey team who have come from utter shit to the ttop point team in the league in a few seasons deserve the cup more than the "come out of no where" team Calgary.

GO DUCKS :( im from uk only team we know :( we got to final s last year so down with the flames.

Iginla = Moron...the best player on Calgary chooses to get himself into a fight and now sits for 5 minutes

Lecavier was in the fight too...but even with him in the box...lightning still has st. louis and richards...no body on calagry is left that even compares to those two.

2-0 CF

its done?

end of 2nd

3-0 final Calgary

fuck you airhead... i'm only saying that if you don't care about hockey, then don't post in a thread that has 'official' and 'hockey' in the title... fanboi? Give me a break..

You don't think that jacks up the other calgary players to see their captain fight? iginla isn't going to back down from anyone. I know what your saying because I thought it as well, but I think he knows what hes doing. And St. Louis and Richards really lit it up tonight, eh?

Not as many people down on 17th as when we beat SJ, but once we clinch the big silver thing then half the city will be packed in there.

Sooo... Yea. Was that psychic right about the huge fight?

Some on the flames forum say yes.

i just let the game decide the outcome. i guess some people believe in that psychic crap but cmon, you cant tell when a team is going to have an off day or not

[quote:69d07]Excerpted from: http://www.sptimes.com/2004/05/29/news_ ... riod.shtml

Third Period Penalties
LIGHTNING: Sarich (slashing), 2 minutes, 17:23; Sarich (misconduct), 10 minutes, 19:16.

The slash came at 17:23 - that's where Sarich broke his stick across Iggy's back. When Iggy turned around, Sarich pushed Iggy, trying to goad him into a fight. Later, at 19:16, Sarich speared Iggy right in the back, and that's what he got the GM for.

So i guess there was a sword like motion. I'm still skeptical though. I don't believe that stuff.

Just for you ninty:
