"Good morning, Paul Byron. Rise and shine Guillaume Desbiens. Dobry Den, Roman Horak (how's our Czech?)Hope you — and the rest of the bubble boys — slept OK in anticipation of another round of cuts in the wake of a 4-2 Calgary Flames victory over the Phoenix Coyotes at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

With pre-season finally (thankfully) extinguished, nine days stand between the Flames (3-3) and their regular-season opener Oct. 8 against the Pittsburgh Penguins."
