When/How did you start following the Flames?: Kipper trade. Didnt have access to video feed back then so I stayed up and listened the playoffs through NHL radio stream.

I usually have followed and cheered for all Finnish players in NHL. I realized I became a fan during this season, I just like the underdogs / never give up / good goaltending etc. feeling that the Flames give me (see Finnish national team :D).
Favourite Flame? I guess it's Ortio at the moment... hard to say, I like team more than single players at the moment.
Favourite Flame Prospect? see above
How long have you been on HF Boards? Registered in 2007, read this site for some years before that. I dont post much (at all, :dunno:) but I check almost daily to see whats going on in NHL.

This season I started watching Flames in early November; an OT win against Colorado was the first game. And then the losing streak happened... I can't watch all the games live and on the weekdays I'll usually have to settle for checking the scores when I wake up. I'm not sure if I've seen a (live game with) Flames win in regulation this season (hope this is a jinx of a kind...)

Figured I would reintroduce myself.

Name: James
Location: New Westminster, BC
Hometown: Calgary
Age: 30's

When/How did you start following the Flames: Mid nineties off and on, till 2004 then it was all the time.

Favourite Flame: Iggy
Favourite current Flame: Monahan
Favourite Flame Prospect: Is Bennett still a prospect? lol, maybe Tyler Wotherspoon then.

How long have you been on HF Boards? Since 2007 I think, I was here back when Lunatik was posting alot (what ever happened to him?). Took some time off and became a lurker on these boards, but I have been around for some time. Also it's hard to stay on top of the team when you don't get that many games on TV (stupid BC).

Might as well do this.

Name: Josh
Location: Commack, NY
Hometown: Commack, NY
Age: 16, turning 17 in May

How/When did I start watching the flames: I'm an islanders fan, with the flames as a close 1b. I started watching in the 04 cup finals. Those games are the earliest hockey games I remember, besides watching the Isles vs Canucks in 2002 at the Coliseum. Then in 2006, my uncle introduced me to video games with NHL 07 on the original xbox. In fact, I still play that game! From NHL 07-11, those games helped me learn about many of the hockey players outside of the Northeast teams. My favorite players of all time, are Iggy, Kippur, and Sakic. Then sometime in October or November, I came here during an islanders vs flames game, and ended up moving here from the Isles board. That's when I ended up watching the flames with the Isles, instead of just watching the highlights the next morning and occasionally turn on a flame game on NHL Center Ice.

Favorite Flame of all time: Kippur
Favorite current flame: Brodie
Favorite Flames Prospect: Does Bennett still count? Since he probably doesn't, I'll probably go with Kylington.

How long have I been on HF: Since whatever it says my join date is, but joined HF Flames in October or November.

Have been on HF since may 2012., started off as a troll account lol. Made my way to the Flames board that September and became InFeasterWetrust. I may do this roll call thing eventually.

As if you've changed that much... :sarcasm:

Not my best Flames memory but something Flames related anyway.

Back in the early/mid 90' I was driving with my mom back home on a Sunday afternoon after visiting my grandmother. It was a long, over 3 hour drive but luckily Jokerit Helsinki and TPS Turku were playing in SM-liiga finals, so I could listen the game on the radio.

During the pregame they said that "as a surprise move, the goalie for TPS tonight is Marko's younger brother, teenager Miikka Kiprusoff" and my reaction was something like :amazed:

When the game started they said "April fools! of course the starter for TPS is *whoever their starter was*"

So that's when I learned that Marko Kiprusoff, who was kind of a star in Finnish league and national team at that time, had a younger brother who was a goalie :laugh:

Tried to find the exact year but April 1st wasn't on Sunday during that time, though it was on Saturday in 1995

Ehhh, why not:

Location: Calgary
Age: Late 20s
When/How: The 2015 run. I had followed them since the 04 run, but I had school and work, so there just was no time for hockey, and I kind of fell out of love with the sport. But that 2015 run, man it made me excited for the franchise again. Now to hope THIS will finally be the year.

Favourite Flames right now: The Captain
Favourite all time: The other captain
Favourite Prospect: Fat Ras
How long on HF: Started lurking in 2017, joined last year. Spend way too much time posting here now, but I'm sure I'll get over it :help:

Also, how can people have posts from 2005? The farthest back I can go on this board is 2012.

The boards existed in a similar format to today since 2002 but existed in earlier Usenet styles before that, at least since 2001 when I first found this board.

They migrated the board and lost a bunch of past posts, surprised this one still exists tbh.

I mean the prospect board can go as far back as 2003, but it's just weird how some of the posts are gone and others are not. Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
