Dude, I'm a Blues fan

A Blues fan with a Sens player's name, posting in a Flames/Hawks thread.

What an odd monkey.

 

[Lunatik]

Most Leafs fans don't hate Flames. And also probably the only team they don't hate.

That's because we let you sodomize us in big trades.

i dont dislike any team... i dislike players tho

and i only cheer for the flames

i like the leafs and capitals tho (leafs cause i wore the same number as Sundin when i was a kid, and caps cause Brenden Witt was one of my favorite players along with Kolzig that was back in 2002 though so im kinda phasing them out)

Fantastic game, Berra was an absolute game changer. Let's hope he didn't pull a Bachmann and keeps it up because he looks absolutely amazing.

I'm pretty sure I can say...

"Told you guys so "

 

[Flames7676]

Hate: Oilers, Canadians. Oilers obvious reasons now Canadians I hate majority of their fan base especially all the fools on NHL.com they all go around thinking they're the greatest people and using the "we have the most cups" excuse every time.

Like/hate: Toronto, Vancouver. I think a lot of their fan base is a bunch of fools but I generally don't mind the team and at least their fans are pretty loyal. Now Vancouver can be a annoying team and horrible fan base (lol burn down city) but I like the players they have and I really like any team with Torts.

Neutral: Ottawa and Jets.

 

[Flames7676]

Now a team that I really like almost as much as the Flames in some ways is the Tampa Bay Lightning (Odd choice huh?) well it's mostly because I was born in Tampa and lived their for quite awhile though I became a Flames fan for 1. My Dad grew up in Calgary so fell into it 2. Iggy and Kipper.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Personally I hate Canucks and Oilers.

Dislike Montreal and Toronto.

Neutral/Positive towards Ottawa and Winnipeg.

I *used* to feel this way, except in recent years my opinion's changed with the additions of Kadri and Reimer and Subban and Price, so they've been upgraded to neutral/positive.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

This was me after Russell scored. Complete with the stickiness.

And as an added bonus, I put my vCash on the Flames. I figured they're overdue for a win some time and tonight just felt right.

 

[MuffinMerc]

Price should be brought to Calgary or Edmonton. The guy's a cowboy and even drives a truck in Montreal.

I enjoy his interviews.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Best game for a Flame goalie in almost 2 years. Backlund was a beast on that 5v3. Colborne had another good game. GlenX has really woken up. That shot by Russell was ridiculous.

All in all and awesome game.

 

[StreakingRed]

Well, maybe except when it comes to the Oilers when you stumble across pity.

No pity. **** the Oilers.

 

[Yung Rotini]

I hate the: Canucks, Oilers, Canadiens
Neutral: Jets, Maple Leafs:
I like the: Flames, Senators

Of course i'm a Flames fan all the way, and the Flames are by far my favourite team, the Sens are probably the only other team I like.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Price should be brought to Calgary or Edmonton. The guy's a cowboy and even drives a truck in Montreal.

He grew up in Williams Lake, so that's probably why he's like that.

 

[Kanye]

I hate every canadian team except for Ottawa.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Congrats to Berra on his first NHL win. Hopefully he can be consistent for the Flames.

 

[Guido Sarducci]

Also, my least favourite Flame Chris Butler had one assist, over 26min and looked solid. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

It seems to me like since Giordano went down Russell and Butler have stepped it up the most, and Brodie not nearly as much. But I thought Brodie was better tonight.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

I am neutral to all Canadian teams except Edmonton. I am Neutral towards the Sens, Canadiens, and Leafs because where I live Toronto is a four hour drive, Ottawa a 3.5 hour drive and 40 mins drive from the border of Quebec. Vancouver is alright in my books, but when we play them I forget about them.

 

[1989]

Can't wait for our collective vCash dollars to roll in after tonight!

Fake drinks on me!

I can't believe we got Kris Russell for a freaking 5th round pick. This guy is such a stud, he just needed an opportunity. His skating is quick, his passes are crisp, his positioning is solid, and despite his size, he battles hard along the boards. This guy has a lot of bite to his came and his overall decision-making is phenomenal. 8 points in 14 games, a team leading +5, and 23 minutes a night of excellent hockey. With Gio's injury and our weak defensive prospect pool, we needed someone to step up. With Russell, it doesn't seem like this is a streak as it has with other players (Colborne, Backlund, Bartschi). It seems like genuine progression into a better player. When Giordano comes back, I'll actually feel confident that we have four top-four defenders. And he's only 26, so he has the potential to be part of the solution in the short, medium, and long term. Kudos to Feaster and his scouting staff.

Also a big congrats to Reto Berra for the best goaltending performance this year for the Flames. I was a little skeptical given his average performance in the AHL, but he competed hard tonight. His glove hand was terrific and his rebound control wasn't too bad considering the quality of some of the shots (and to be fair, plenty of shots were deflected into the corner).

Baertschi is... struggling. I was pretty upset when Hartley benched him but he hasn't shown much since coming back. He's not creating much and worse, he's turning the puck over. It's a process and it'll take time, but this team needs more from Baertschi. There are lots of good wing prospects in our system (Hanowski and Reinhart are playing wing in Abby plus Gaudreau, Poirier, and Agostino turn pro next year), and while I still have the highest hopes for Baertschi, he just needs to bring more because there are other guys chomping ta the bits to take his spot.

 

[Guido Sarducci]

I cheer for the Flames, Hitmen and Team Canada. And that is all. Some teams have certain players I really like though.

 

[Anglesmith]

If I'm watching a game with a Canadian team and another team, the teams I will cheer for include all Eastern teams and Winnipeg, and the teams I will cheer against are Edmonton and Vancouver.
