I'm going to predict a loss by 3 goals. I've never seen Kipper look that frustrated, or Iggy to look that demoralized.
I think the pressure of the trade deadline is grinding this team down, and their inability to get defensive zone coverage is killing this team.
If you're looking at a pressure scenario, if the flames lose this game, there's a week left to the trade line and the Flames will have an incredibly steep hole to dig out of. I have a feeling that everyone in that dressing room is going to be thinking, if we lose this all hell is going to break loose.
That's a lot of pressure on a team that isn't good with pressure.
Plus Columbus has built a pretty big nasty team that checks well.
All ingredients for a butt pounding not seen since Tom Cruise met Scientology
