Baertschi and Aliu are the only two things I'm excited about. Aliu should add some much needed grit, and hopefully Hartley will stop burying Sven on the 4th line. He's one of your most skilled players. Give him some top 9 minutes for f--- sakes.
Other than that, I don't have a good feeling about this game. This team has clearly shown that they have no heart, no push-back, and no killer instinct in their game whatsoever. The last two games was some of the worst, most uninspired hockey I've seen this team play in all my years as a Flames fan. So unbelievably frustrating.
However, knowing the inconsistency and Jeckyl & Hyde nature of this bunch, they'll probably win in convincing fashion tonight.
4-1 Flames.
