Does anyone know the rosters for the game against Vancouver? If they both go with their full rosters, this could be a great preseason tilt.

Season Series -- It's the first game for both teams, who were 2-2-2 in 2008-09. The final preseason game between the teams on Sept. 26 might provide a good idea of what to expect. Goalies Miikka Kiprusoff and Roberto Luongo both looked like they were ready to go, stopping 35 and 24 shots respectively, and Alberta native Mason Raymond's sleek shootout goal against Kiprusoff wowed the Calgary crowd and gave the Canucks a win.
Hell yeah, it is time!!!!

Flames fans can't be happy with the effort of the flames last night other than the first period.
The Canucks dominated the Flames for the last two periods and out shot the crossly in the third.
The Flames were lucky to escape with the two points in this one.

I guess it's a good thing the Flames have a goalie who has to play for a new contract with-in the next 10 years. :cheeky4:

I was less than impressed after the first.
Kipper's paddle save was fantastic and he play great for them. Giordana looked good at the start, but it began to appear as if he thought he was superior, not passing as much, and taking bad shots as opposed to seeking out another Flame.
That's what got me, too. For a large part of the first, I could see, right in the bottom right corner of my television screen, a perpetually open point. I was less than impressed by this.
I liked Dion's absolute clock-cleaning on Sedin though. Beautiful stuff.

Frankly, as a Flames fan, I'm ashamed by a game won by an oops. The Flames have been good defensively, but it's mostly because they've been playing the better part of their first two games in their own zone. They need to start playing better in the offensive zone at times other than the PP.
Probably the only upsides to their start of the season is the play of Jay Bouwmeester and the surprisingly not too slow start of Kiprusoff, who, while allowing 6 goals already, has a percentage of .921 on 76 shots, an average of 38 each game. If the Flames are going anywhere, they'll have to cut the SOGs down to somewhere around 30. Even still, Kipper will need to be stellar for a deep playoff run.
