As for Calgary... pains me to say this as an Oiler fan but I thought they played alright last night. Their two new Czechs looked pretty darn good. I'd say they are their best players so far. The Flames created chances, but it has to be said... Kipper couldn't stop a beachball so far this year. Really uncharacteristic goals getting by him. I attribute that to a guy getting old and not bothering to play during the lock-out. Just can't do that. Timing's off. And they have nobody behind him worth putting into the game. Irving had two guys playing ahead of him in Abbotsford for goodness sake. He's not much more than a practice goalie.

yep ,,, its time
