Pass this on if you're a true fan of the Flames. :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

that has to be the stupidest thing i have heard today...

TAMPA BY WINS!!!

Big congrats to Tampa Bay they deserve it. They just had more left in the tank in the last 2 games.

I'm sad Calgary didn't win, they played thier hearts out.... that was crushing :(

Face it, Calgary didn't show up for the first 2 periods. If they can't solve a team whom they've played for 6 games before going into this one, than they don't deserve to win. Don't get me wrong, they deserved to win it just as much as Tampa. But Tampa came out better and Andreychuck deserves this more than a team who barely made the playoffs for the past 10 years.

It's about who wants to win the Cup. I wanted the Cup to come back to Canada but only for that reason. Calgary simply couldn't match up against the better team: Tampa. Besides, it's about time Tampa won the Stanley Cup.

Ease up man. Also, there's some doubt as to whether or not Canadians invented hockey..but this is besides the point.

:(

Last 10 minutes were INTENSE.

Well Tampa wanted it more, they played better than the Flames the first 50 mins...and Khabibulin was really good, though I really think Kipper was let down by the defense, especially on the first goal. It sucks.

I still think Calgary played awesome to make it this far, no one thought they could.

@ RenaFuse: Shut The **** Up! You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

ya i got that from someone, but ya over all it really was a good seires and calgary was doing there best in along time gg to all and next year were gona own it all, and atleast we made it to the final game :p

I'm sick and tired of this Canadian VS USA BS, I just heard from a friend who calls me up all mad saying

the Ref's are all pro USA.

Face it Calgary played Rough & Tough & Dirty and they played their hearts out, but you could see they got demoralized when it was 2-0 Tampa, then they (calgary) got their sprak back once they scored, but then they had to play dirty and get a boarding penalty.

The only reason Calgary beat Vancouver too begin with is because Calgary played dirty, this is why I was going for Tampa Bay, just because it was against Calgary.

If it were any other team against the Flames I'd be going for them too, I have a dislike for Calgary.

I dont believe in this the Stanley Cup belongs in Canada crap.

It belongs to the team that wins it, it has nothing to do with ratings or whatever, just the Stanley Cup is more popular per capita in Canada, as opposed to the USA.

All I have too say is WAY TO GO TAMPA BAY !!!!

i didn't realize so many tampa players are from canada.. weird ;)

yeah I was surprised myself :o :D

The cup deserves to be with whoever played best -- and in this case its in Tampa Bay. Just because a team played like **** and they're canadian doesn't mean they deserve it more than anyone else.

I agree, Its a load of bull

No you don't need a new sig.

Thanks for the great ride Flames.

Congrats Lightning.

Lets hope there's a net season.

We will be back!

GO!FLAMES!GO! :beer: :punk:

I am going to miss flamesgirls.com though.

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
