bert looks toned down. definitely lost 15-20lbs

Love the douchebag fauxhawk, suits him well.

[max_boost]

I just have a sneaky feeling that Big Bert is going to tear shit up riding along side Iggy and Langks

[SilverRex]

^^^

I totally agree, cant wait the new season to begin, would love to see the the flames beef up in size up front, if you think about bert's previous two destination, neight the ducks nor the wings can offer bert enough playtime and worth to push him back to groove. When you have iggy standing beside him, if the dark cloud can be removed over bert's head, then boy will we have an exciting season. I think given Calgary's lack luster playoff performence in the last few years, this risk/reward is well played.

come on.

we have the ammo up front, and I hope we can get a rookie in (like mikael backlund) to tear up the calder, phenuf to step it up and kipper to have a big reboundin year.

then we talking

Sucks for Bert...
2006/07 - Played for Detroit, but Anaheim won the cup.
2007/08 - Played for Anaheim, but Detroit won the cup.

It's gonna be an interesting year, that's for sure.

[D'z Nutz]

I just hope this lawsuit with Crawford doesn't become a distraction...

maybe after bert leaves we will win the cup?

Haha Cammalleri couldn't be standing next to a bigger group of guys, he looks like Bertuzzi's child or Bourques little bro that tagged along

lol

Hopefully he has a huge rebound year! Same goes for Bert and maybe the n00b signings can step up their game too. Noticed how all our wingers are young guns? (except 1st line) Speed FTW!!

I think Shadowz (or someone he knew) got hot house tickets really quick.

I'm on the origonal non-hot house waiting list, went on it a couple days after the lockout ended. They've tried to convince me to sign up for the hot house bullshit several time now.

It's still easy to get tickets to pretty much any game anyways so I'm not too woried about it.

Quote From the season ticket sale thread.

I was under the impression that the Hothouse list replaced the old list. If both lists exists how does it work in being offered season tickets??

I don't know.... and I doubt the Flames ticket guys do either.

They told me the old list was still valid when i called to ask why they started a new "hothouse" list. This was over a year ago, maybe they've changed it up again, who knows.

Maybe call them and ask them how they determine the random-ness of their ticket distribution?

[mac_82]

Tickets for Oct-Nov go on sale Sept 20 @ 10am.

Tickets for Dec-Jan go on sale Nov 1 @ 10am.

[HyperZell]

Holy shit - did anybody know about this?

http://bruins.nhl.com/team/app/?serv...ticleid=381097

Apparently Yelle signed with the Bruins...damn, he was a real character player.

[S13_Ryan]

^^ yeah that might hurt us come playoff time. he was a real contributor in the offseason. blocking a tonn of shots.

[D'z Nutz]

Oh man, that sucks. I was wondering why I hadn't heard anything about him too. Not that it was too much of a surprise since Yelle and Keenan didn't seem to click.

Haha yeah that's exactly when I saw it. They said it so casually too...Boston signed Stephane Yelle over the summer. Lol.
