flames v. canucks postgame: wakeup call

so i didn't watch the game last night but i DID get a text from my roommate at about midnight telling me the highlights were awful, and even the ANNOUNCERS were making the 'kiprusoft' jokes....

the stats on this game are scary. kippsy let in 6 goals on 23 shots. SIX GOALS ON TWENTY THREE SHOTS !!?!? now i KNOW the canucks aren't getting twenty-three amazing scoring chances... which means soft goals, indeed.

in watching the replays, it seems that craig conroy was on the ice for a good portion of vancouver highlights. this is not a good sign... he ended the night a team-average -2, though, which is simply not good enough for a 1.1 million dollar guy. *sigh... aucoin bottomed out the +/- with a devastating -3... it's really a shame cause a good showing by the flames blueline last night might have just sealed the deal sending warrener and eriksson to the QC. now they'll have reason to try it again....

boyd and moss came out at -1s, and glenX (bless his little heart) was one of only five or six players that ended at evens. bad, bad, bad game...

i'm sure vancouverites are absolutely glowing this morning. thank god that game doesn't count... i'm sure keenan's been quite level in the past weeks, but probably raised it up a decibel or two last night !!!
