Calgary flames

The Calgary Flames have come out of the gates ready for the 2009-2010 season going 5-2-1 over eight games. Although they are on top of there division there are obviously still things they need to work on. Last week they gave up a five goal lead on the Chicago Black Hawks and ended up losing in a shoot out, the next game they had another 5-0 lead on the Vancouver Canucks although they did end up winning the game (5-3) they let in three goals which could have made a massive difference on the game. I believe that the Calgary flames need to become better defensively.

I'm not saying that the Calgary flames aren't trying to change that. Last year they were twenty third in the league in goals against average with an average of three a game. The Calgary Flames made some impressive off season moves by acquiring Jay Bouwmeester from the Florida Panthers. Although Jay Bouwmeester will come with a lot of defencive aspects he is a offencive Defencemen and is expected to bring a lot of offence to the team. They also hired Brent Sutter as head coach who is known for his "defence comes first" aspects of the game.

The Calgary Flames are fourth in the league in Goals for per game with an average of 3.62 per game which is surprising because the Flames Captain Jarome Iginla has only four points in eight games this season and is a minus 2. Part of the reason that the games are fourth in the league with goals for is Rene Bourque he has four goals and five assists in eight games and is leading the team is scoring. Although Bouwmester was expected to be the best offensive defensemen, Dion Phaneuf has four goals and three assists in eight games and leads his team in points by a defensmen and is third in the league among defensmen. Both Dion Phanuef and Rene Borgue are on track to have careers years and will have a serious impact on the Flames overall record at the end of the season.

Miikka Kiprusoff is the flames all-star goalie although this year he has a goals against average of 3.10 and a save percentage of .903. The Flames goalie always seems to be there when he is needed weather the other teams on a break away or a last minute save to preserve the win he always seems to amaze the Calgary fans when they need it most. Kiprusoff is living proof that numbers aren't everything, Kiprusoff's goals against averages from the last four years are 2.84, 2.69, 2.47, and 2.07 Mikka Kiprusoff is among the best goalies in the world even though doesn't have the best numbers out of every goalie in the league.

The Calgary Flames are among the best in the western conference and will have a good season this year. The off-season changes are going to have a massive impact on the Flames overall record at the end of the season and you can thank Daryl Sutter for acquiring Jay Bouwmeester from Florida and hiring his younger brother Brett Sutter as head coach.

My top three sports would be hockey, snowboarding and Golf. I've ranked these sports by how much I enjoy playing them, how much I enjoy watching them, and finally how much I miss them when its not in the season.
I've choosen hockey for my favorite because it is my favorite sport to play and im always trying to make my game better. I always try to find a hockey game on TV and would rather watch it over any other show on TV. When its summer and its to hot to play Ice hockey im usually playing street hockey waiting until I can get back on the ice.
I would say snowboarding is my close second favorite sport from Golf. I love snowboarding it can be relaxing if thats what you feel like doing or it can be fast pace and exciting if you'd rather. I dont enjoy watch snowboarding anywhere as close as hockey thats part of the reason its my number two favorite sport but I have not been able to snowboard in the winter because of an ignury and I couldnt stand not being about to go up to the hill and snowboard whenever I wanted so I really do miss snowboarding when im unable or its summer.
Finally my third favorite sport would be golf. It is so relaxing to golf and it can take your mind off of other things in the world. Although I dont enjoy watching Golf very much It still can be exciting to watch Tiger woods play. I usually golf until it snows so that probably tells you that I miss it a lot in the winter.
Those are my favorite three sports ever and I enjoy ever one in there own individual way and miss them when ever I am unable to play them.

Super Powers

If I could have one superpower it would be I would have the ability to fly as fast as I would like. This super power would make life a lot more easier because I could get anywhere in the world as fast as I would like. I could go to Toronto for breakfast, Go to DisneyLand in the afternoon and then go to Vancouver for a hockey game all in one day and no one could stop me. Cost for gas wouldnt be a problem because I wouldnt need a car and that would save me a lot of money, I would never be late for work or school again cuz I could just fly there right before it starts. Therefore I believe that the best superpower I could have would be the ability to fly.
