    How the hell was that not a penalty on Hagelin? Dreadful penalty by Gabs to put us in this position firstly.

    Awful refereeing not to give at least a penalty for the Hagelin trip.

    Rangers win 2-1, phew. That was hard work in the third period.

    I don't recommend the Penguins game, terrible hockey. Will possibly watch the Ducks v Sharks after this.

    Leafs just won it with .1 seconds in overtime. I don't believe it

    Miller has had a very hit/miss start to the season. Looked unbeatable at times and very loose at others, same as last season really. Thought Buffalo would have a good year this year, but not the best of starts.

    They really need to get their heads on straight and start playing the kind of hockey they are capable of playing

    The Pominville goal from Vanek is the best I've seen this season.

    No shutout for Evgeni Nabokov (he deserved one). Dupuis from Kunitz and Sid. 4-1.

    Tied with 2.45 to play, I'm routing for the Sharks based solely on the pour rebranding the Ducks have been subjected too.

    More space/opportunity for goals.

    This one could well be a shootout.

    I'm a little confused as to who you follow? What's your situation? Phoenix host Edmonton tomorrow, Calgary host Colorado on Thursday...

    Very happy to have you on board(s) by the way, just want to be clear on this!

    I'm Irish, just moved to Calgary for a year or two, maybe longer, always had an interest in hockey but could never get into it as you have to stay up all night to watch it. In the absence of the NHL we went along to see the Hitmen in action in the Saddledome, we had a blast and have been hooked since. $20 tickets, no beer queue and they play hard, you forget how young they are sometimes!

    Now the NHL is back, we're having difficulty deiciding who we'll follow, originally we were turned off the NHL because they wern't playing, we're also well aware the Flames aren't great and the fans known for their silence (apperently). This along with hearing the Oilers have a young team, Edmonton being nearby, working with Oilers fans and knowing a few Oilers fans at home it just seemed to make sense to start following them. Then the Flames showed up on Sat and we're not sure what we'll do, we're going to the Flames game on the 11th of Feb, suppose that'll help us decide.

    Regardless I got myself some skates and a $12 hockey stick from Walmart and I'm out on the ice at the community centre down the road every chance I get, its great craic!

    Sounds like you are living my dream! I visited Calgary when I was 12yrs old, during the stampede. I visited many hockey stores in the greater CGY area and ended up with a reasonably impressive hockey card collection. On the day of the 1998 World Cup Final, we drove from Calgary to Edmonton with my parents, to visit some relatives/friends, and I ended up missing most of the match as a result. In the West Ed Mall, I got myself a cheapskate Pat LaFontaine jersey which is still collectable and certainly above the money I paid for it. In general terms, I would love to see a proper hockey city win it, but also a city with little recent success. It's tough though.

    In a moment of madness, I spent a lot of money this evening on some obscure jerseys to adorn my walls in years to come. Happy to have the jerseys, but expensive all the same...

    Woah sounds like your a super fan, considering I've worked 13 of the last 14 days I'm probably not living your exact dream but I get out when I can.

    Nice finish by Malkin alright but the Rangers have been dreadful thus far. We are all over the shop on the power play and don't look good on the kill tonight. Complete lack on intensity in our play.

    Lots of improvement needed in the next two periods. LGR!

    The commentary on Setanta is from Pens TV and I am not loving it, ahem, ..... Someone should tell them that hitting Crosby is not a penalty in itself.

    Managed to catch Thomas Vanek scoring his hat-trick goal to make it 6-4 Sabres. He's got 5 points tonight and is on a fantastic run of form so far this season.

    Dreadful performance from start to finish last night by the Rangers. The peewee team would have put up more of a fight. Vokoun could have snoozed his way through most of the game. Tampa Bay on the road tomorrow night which never ends well for us.

    Looks like it is going to be a season where we will battle for 6-8 in the conference and struggle in the post season. The team is weaker than last season without a doubt.

    What a poor call on Backes tonight, calling a headshot on a great hit on Huskins I think it was nowhere near the head.
    Changed the game with the 5 min major.
    This compared to the missed elbow by Erskines to Simmonds.

    Have you 4 games on the go at once?

    Take out pizza in Calgary is rotten, pizza hut sent us a pizza with no sauce, dominos cut it into squares so you had these middle pieces with no crust to hold by that couldn't support a topping if it had a 6 figure salary.

    I want an $8 16oz of Keiths and dome nachos...... and tickets for tonights game.

    No theres fantastic pizza if you go out, we just havn't found a delivery option thats worth it. Just tuned into the leafs/bruins seems like a slow game.

    Yeah probably the worst of the live games at the moment. Kessel is in a major slump, 270 odd shifts since his last goal. Rangers won 3-2 in the end, and the Flyers are holding out for a 5-3 win.

    Not much happening in the Dallas Phoenix game either, though there was a potential goalie-v-forward fight when Jamie Benn landed on Mike Smith. Didn't materialise. Of the late games, I don't know which I'd prefer to watch, both look tasty.

    Yeh I heard the commentators say that, not great.

    The Flames are currently the only NHL team without a fight this season, I know for many hockey fans fighting is not their favourite part of the game but come on! Sort it out!

    Blackhawks get a late undeserved goal, 2 secs to go after being dominated by Calgary for a great 3rd period.

    Calgary not putting them away when they get their chances though, Emery has played fantastic, into overtime we go.

    Surprised but delighted by the win @ Tampa. We don't have a very good record there. Nice to see Nash getting a goal also. Some of his puck control is insane at times. Anyone else think the games are lacking intensity at the moment?

    Boston v Montreal this week, that should be a proper full on game.

    Didn't get to see anything last night and won't see anything tonight, as I have to be in early these days. Recording the Bruins' game tonight, as it is usually a cracker when they play Montreal. Last nights display by the Rangers was poor once again. No consistency in our play at all. We need to get our act together or the play offs will pass us by.
