“Iginla to Crosby. Shoots. Scores. Crosby gives Canada gold. Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby! Yeah Baby!”
Fifteen little words I voiced excitedly going right across Canada either late Sunday afternoon, or early Sunday evening, depending where you were, capped off a fabulous 2-week Olympic experience.
Now its back to normal. Flames hosting Minnesota on Wednesday.
How can it be normal? The Flames are out of a playoff spot with 20 games to play. The Wild is chasing them in standing having two of their next 3 games against each other. The Flames are still eyeing a first place finish in the NW Division but are 9pt behind Vancouver with Colorado in between them.
The breakdown of the 20 games left. 11 on road and 9 at home.
The one certainty is that the Flames have to be better in this final quarter than they been into the time leading up to the Olympic break. Three losses in the last 4 games but the good news was a strong performance in the final contest on Feb. 13 – a most impressive 3-1 triumph over Anaheim.
On Wednesday, the Flames will honor their medal-winning Olympians. Jarome Iginla with his gold with Team Canada while Miikka Kiprusoff and Niklas Hagman have bronze from their play with Finland.
Other Canadian medalists residing in Calgary will be honored prior to Friday’s match with New Jersey.
Hey Peter,
My friends and I were looking to relive your call on the ‘Golden Goal’ by Crosby and Iginla. Is there an Mp3 of it? It would be the ringtone of the century for sure.
Thanks for calling games better than anyone out there!
Yea Baby!!!
- Matt BoodyHi Peter,
I would also love to get a digital copy of your call of the goal from Sunday night. I haven’t been fortunate enough to hear it yet, but I would love to put it on my iPod and sort it with your call of Gelinas’ game winning goal in game 6 against the Red Wings in 2004.
- Rob GriffithHi Peter,
I’d like to second Matt’s request… I too would love to have the Golden Goal call to listen to again (and again).
Great job in Vancouver!
If any other readers know where we might find it, please post.
Thanks,

A classic call from a classy guy. Thanks Peter, you’re the best!!!!!
- curmudgeonI too, would love to have a copy of the call…I live in Edmonton and was born in Vancouver, so I will never cheer for the Flames. But Peter does such a fantastic job with the calling the game, he is a pleasure to listen to. And for once it was great to agree with him.
Yeah Baby!
- TimAgreed X 1000 to the other posts asking for someway to hear your call of the winning goal. i’m stuck overseas and wasn’t privy to listening to your broadcast from here. i would do terrible things to have the chance to hear it! Thanks for doing what you do so well– it really is a talent that few have.
