BBB's Notebook: ROH Final Battle 2004

-I didn't like the finish between Walters and Jimmy Rave.

-Corinos extra-long ring entrance is the funny the first time and fucking annoying the second.

-Punk and Corino bring the comedy.

-Danielson vs. Low Ki was awesome. They do a good job of making the Rotweilers look bad-ass.

-I didn't realize this was the show where Austin Aries beat Joe for the title. The match was awesome, the atmosphere was amazing, the crowd was red hot. Wow.

EDIT: You can watch the finish over at 3BTV.

Stuff

-The Flames can tie the series with a win at home tonight. They played well Tuesday and get me back excited about the series again after games 1 and 2 crushed my spirit. 7:30 tonight.

-Sanjaya got the punt on American Idol last night. Can't say I'm happy about it, it made a show that I probably wouldn't really get to attached to a lot of fun. I am now throwing my support behind Jordan Sparks, and I am also now a homo.

-"Thank god you're here" on NBC is a really funny new show. We watched it last night and got quite the chuckle out of it.

-A semi-big story in the wrestling world is the now-off Lawler vs. Hogan match in Memphis. Hogan wanted to prove he could draw without WWE, and WWE told Lawler he couldn't work the show. My opinion, Hogan is wrong. I had a big of a revelation watching disc 1 of the "XWF Lost Tapes." Off the top they had Mean Gene and Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper but it just wasn't the same and I realized that in my opinion, the WWF name combined with those guys is what made that time so special. You can't really have one without the other and have it have that same feel.

-I don't really know what to say about the shootings at Virginia Tech. Sign of the times, nothing really suprises me anymore. The only surprising thing to me is that it doesn't happen every day.

Sadness

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Picked it up yesterday, can't wait to give it a spin. The cool thing is, they made the disc heat-sensitive so after you play it or rip it on your PC, it changes color. So fucking cool.

BBB's Notebook: Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen

Another stellar DVD release from WWE. The feature runs around 2 hours and 12 minutes and is packed with heaps of awesome old footage. I particularly enjoyed it because I've read about a lot of the stuff featured in wrestling magazines when I was a kid and now it's cool to see it finally.

The cover everything and have some cool stories.... The really dramatize the Arn/Sid stabbing. Paul Roma is gold and JR's subtle jab at TNA made me giggle. Haven't looked at the extras yet but I know they will be excellent.

A little video preview will be up on 3BTV soon.

Quote of the Day

"Boxes go in the compactor, Just like babies go in the trash" - Tyler Lewis.

Flames have more offensive prowess for post-season

CALGARY (CP) -- One year removed from being upset in the first round, the Calgary Flames enter the 2007 NHL playoffs a much different team.

They have a new head coach in Jim Playfair, they've improved up front with the additions of Alex Tanguay and Craig Conroy, the blue-line has been bolstered by the acquisition of Brad Stuart, and they're brandishing a much more potent offence.

Veteran Calgary centre Stephane Yelle says the Flames are a confident bunch headed into Thursday night's opening game at Joe Louis Arena against the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings.

"We know their style and we know how we need to play against them to be successful as we have been this year,' Yelle said.

Third last in the NHL in goals (218) last year and the only team in the bottom nine to qualify for the playoffs, Calgary scored 40 more goals this year, sixth best in the league. Of the playoff teams in the West, only Nashville (277) was more lethal.

"We do have more firepower this season and we know we can score more but when it comes to playoffs, you have to play solid `D' and that's where we've been inconsistent," Yelle said. "If we can take care of our own end, we'll get our chances and we've got the tools now to score the big goals.'

Another difference is Calgary enters this post-season back in the role of underdog having not clinched the eighth and final playoff spot in the West until the second-last day of the season.

Starting on the road is a familiar scenario. During their improbable Stanley Cup run in 2004, which ended in a Game 7 loss in Tampa Bay, Calgary was the underdog for the entire journey.

That spring, as red Flames jerseys sprung up across the country and The Red Mile forged its way onto the Canadian landscape, many suggested the Flames underdog status was a big part of their charm.

"Personally, I don't think the seeding really matters," Yelle said. "The eight teams that made the playoffs are good teams and any one of those teams could end up winning it.".

Last year, Calgary won the Northwest Division and as the third seed drew the upstart Anaheim Ducks in the opening round. With the glass slipper on the other foot, Calgary was bounced from the playoffs in seven games, a disappointing outcome that reminded fans once again of the playoff futility that has haunted the franchise since hoisting its only Stanley Cup in 1989.

The Flames' series victories in 2004 over Vancouver, Detroit, and San Jose remain the lone three series wins in the last 17 years.

Along with stars Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff, two keys this year could be Conroy and Tanguay.

A central figure two springs earlier as Iginla's centre and one of the team's off-ice leaders, Conroy's upbeat demeanour was noticeably absent last year after he left signing a lucrative free agent deal with the Los Angeles Kings.

Flames general manager Darryl Sutter reacquired the fan favourite Jan. 29 in hopes that the 35-year-old could restore a sense of calm and looseness in the Flames room, deemed a missing ingredient last year.

"He's great in the room, a good leader and you can't have enough of those guys," Daymond Langkow. "He's got lot of experience, especially for this team from its run in 2004. He's good on face-offs, and works well obviously with Iggy and Tangs."

Tanguay, acquired last summer from Colorado in exchange for defenceman Jordan Leopold, has fit in equally well with Iginla rounding out the Flames top line. Much of Calgary's offensive improvement this year can be attributed to Tanguay's 59 assists and 81 points. Tanguay's play-making being something the team had been desperately lacking.

Having never missed the playoffs, Tanguay brings 83 games of post-season experience to the table including 18 goals, 32 assists, and a Stanley Cup ring with the Avalanche in 2001.

The biggest question is which Calgary Flames team will show up. Will it be the winners of six games in a row in a critical stretch at the end of March when their post-season aspirations were hanging in the balance, or will it be the team that limped into the playoffs losers of their last four.
"When we won those six straight, we were playing solid hockey, working hard, we were back to basics," Yelle said. "We got away from that the last three or four games and to be successful in the playoffs, we'll have to get back to it."

This will especially be the case against a hungry Detroit wanting to avoid seeing its post-season end in Alberta for a third season in a row.

Notes : Calgary's biggest concern health-wise is defenceman Robyn Regehr, who missed the final two games of the regular season with a lower body injury. "I'm feeling all right and my plan is to travel with the team to Detroit," Regehr said. He says the injury is not as severe as everyone first thought. His status is day-to-day. Neither Regehr or Jeff Friesen (torso) skated Thursday prior to the team's departure to Detroit....Game 1 goes Thursday at the Joe Louis Arena. Start time is 5 p.m. MT and the game is on CBC and The Fan 960 radio.
