He is figuring it out that it is better to just get the puck through rather than try and blast it through the end boards. He used to fire 3 shots or more before hitting the net. now he hits it most times and is leaving rebounds for the forwards. He is learning.

Yea I didn't mention him either because I think hes having a lousy year imo. Hes lacking the grit and hes gettn burned a little to often for my likeing. The guy plays better with an edge...sure he'll make a dumb mistake doing that but it makes him all the tougher to play against

While watching last night's game I came to the conclusion there are girls working at the ranches outside of Vegas who have seen less rubber than the net behind Kipper!

His 27 wins say your wrong

JohninAB · #**485** 01-18-2009, 11:51 AM

He has a poor winning percentage!

Ah Yes, but Kipper has 5 more WINS than all 3 Oiler goalies combined..

JohninAB · #**487** 01-18-2009, 12:31 PM

Not an Oilers fan, sorry! So what their goalies have done means nothing to me.

Sorry John ! Bruin's ?

TBark · #**489** 01-18-2009, 12:37 PM

I counted 15 good scoring chances for the Flames last night, Desert dogs had 6 or 7 and scored 4 times. Flames still should have won, but they just couldn't finish. Just that bad goal on kipper.

JohninAB · #**490** 01-18-2009, 12:40 PM

Naw, actually a Hab's fan, been one for almost 40 years.

For sure, It took them awhile to get going last night, they finished strong hopefully they will carry that into the tilt with the AV's tonight, Kipper get's a rest tonight to I think.

Kanonfodder · #**492** 01-18-2009, 01:20 PM

I hope they rest Kipper I want to see your back-up in action...

McElhinney would like to see some action to I'm sure, and with a name like McElhinney how could you lose..

mulecrazy · #**494** 01-18-2009, 02:44 PM

from what I have read it sounds like kipper is in tonight. keenan figures he just had that 4 day rest and the all star break is coming so he should play.

Well that might be a good thing then, Kipper almost always comes back big after a loss...

Well I guess that answers my question about the Flames backup......dude must have sunburn on the back of his neck from the Goal light

Jamie · #**502** 01-18-2009, 09:17 PM

Pathetic!

Look for changes before the trade dead line

What do you think they will be shopping for ? And who do you think they will trade ? I can't really see them making to big a move, when they were rollin everyone looked pretty good..

TreeGuy · #**505** 01-18-2009, 09:47 PM

I heard a whisper of Phaneuff being offered to Tampa for Vinny...............

That would be a sweet deal for the Flames !

JohninAB · #**507** 01-18-2009, 10:01 PM

They want big numbers for Vinny. From montreal they want Markov, Plekanic, Higgins and numerous first round draft picks it sounds like. not sure if Vinny is worth all that but would love to see him in the bleu, blanc et rouge!

Kanonfodder · #**508** 01-18-2009, 10:06 PM

Too bad so many of you watched the Avs light up the Shames, cuz you missed another class production by the Oilers. Raising that Flame killer Glenn Andersons #9 to the rafters. Good ceremony and not too overdone, then a freakn great game vs the 'Yotes...Mareau with the Hatty and Hemmer with 2 in his first game off the IR......makn that push for 5th

GO OIL

Black, sorry, I should have been more clear. I was refering to our back up sittuation.

As for the rest of the team... I am thinking we will stand Pat.
DION will not be leaving.

Oh well, it is Trade Rumour season anyhow ! On a side note: Sure am glad the Nuk's got saddled up with Sundin..he takes up a fair bit of room on that bench...
