No matter who they brought in for the radio, everyone is going to be mourning the loss of Mr Maher for a long time. Irreplacable.

Love the new broadcast guys. Ball and Hrudey is a HUGE step up over Kerr and Simmer. I've just listened to a few Derek Wills clips on youtube. He's certainly no Maher, but I really, really like what I hear.

Dont know how I feel about that Wills guy, voice seems way too up and down for me. I think its gonna drive me nuts. Cant they just develop some type of robot that does the play by play in Peter Maher's voice?!?!

Not sure if anyone is watching the youngstars game between the Flames and Jets, but holy cow what a goal by Gaudreau! Bennett is mostly invisible though. Great to see some hockey again!
Yeah that was a pretty goal!
Another pretty goal from Johnny Hockey!

If you read around on flames boards (especially Calgary Puck) you would think the Flames are going to win the Stanley Cup this year.
I've never seen a fan base put so much stock in preseason games in my life.
I don't think anyone is claiming the Flames are going to win the cup.... but our prospect pool is developing nicely and it gives fans something to look forward to and get excited about.Originally posted by lasimmon

I would think most fans start every season with a little bit of optimism. Unless you're an Oilers fan... they already know they have another season of basement dwelling.
As an oilers fan I have no optimisim anymore you are correct. However, I feel this year I could be surprised, instead of hoping we be good.Originally posted by 88CRX

Not holding out hope though.
Yeah, people on Calgary Puck don't think we will get far. Our pool of prospects is the best it's ever been in years and that's what you are reading. Playoffs won't be a reality for another couple years likely..
GO FLAMES GO!
i'd be ok with lots of 1 goal losses this year for a chance at Mcdavid.

As someone who frequents Calgary puck this couldn't be further from the truth. Every single thread is about finishing dead last or a top three pick. There is even threads about what coach is next after Calgary finishes last this year.Originally posted by lasimmon

Your tears fuel me
Yea, most CPers are realistic about our chances. There are a few oddballs here and there that think otherwise.
Going in this year with low expectations. The team can do nothing but impress me.
